This paper proposes a theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between individuals' place attachment and their engagement in placemaking. It then presents a field study examining whether and to what extent the involvement of children ages nine to 11 in urban planning and design activities affects their attachment to their blocks, neighborhoods, and cities. Data were collected by involving approximately 240 children from six disadvantaged neighborhoods in Istanbul, Turkey, in a participatory action research project. Pre- and post study surveys showed that, as children participated in more planning and design activities, their feelings for their neighborhoods significantly increased, but this effect was greater for some techniques of engagement than for others. Thus,. planners and urban designers should realize that the design of participatory planning processes matters.

The Mutual Relationship Between Regional Income and Deforestation: A Study on Turkey Elburz, Zeynep ; Çubukçu, K. Mert ; Nijkamp, Peter (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2018-6-28) This paper addresses the bilateral relationship between growth and environment. It aims to show how regional economic growth causes environmental deterioration, while the environmental resources function in turn as a supply factor for economic development. A simultaneousequations model is developed and applied to test this two-way relationship statistically, where economic growth is measured by regional income, and environmental deterioration by deforestation. Using data from 26 NUTS 2 regions in Turkey bet...
The interplay between students’ understandings of proportional and functional relationships Stephens, Ana; Strachota, Susanne; Knuth, Eric; Blanton, Maria; İşler Baykal, Işıl; Gardiner, Angela Murphy (Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators; 2017-10-08) This research explores the interplay between students’ understandings of proportional and functional relationships. Approximately 90 students participated in an early algebra intervention in Grades 3– 5. Before the intervention and after each year of the intervention, we evaluated their understandings of proportional and functional relationships. Data revealed that among Grades 4 and 5 students who identified a correct function rule, a higher percentage were unsuccessful solving a proportional reasoning pro...
Examining marital satisfaction in binational marriages, from an ecosystem perspective Tezer Yörük, Nihan; Fışıloğlu, Hürol; Department of Educational Sciences (2016) The aim of this dissertation is to examine marital satisfaction of binational couples from an ecosystems perspective. For this purpose, predictive role of personality, acculturation attitudes, and perceived social support as individual traits; conflict resolution styles, cultural distance and language skills as couple traits; demographics, received social support, societal reactions and relations with family of origin as contextual factors on marital satisfaction were investigated. This study involved Russi...
A Joint Framework for Urban Morphology and Design MARSHALL , STEPHEN; Çalışkan, Olgu (2011-12-01) This paper proposes a joint framework for relating urban morphology and design to each other, which can help to explain how and why these can be considered as distinct yet connected. The paper locates urban morphology and urban design – as products and processes – within a framework based on the distinction between the physical fabric and the abstract domain, in relation to time order. This helps clarify and explain the nature and signi ficance of the essential relationship between urban morphology and desi...
The relationship between Turkish children's perceptions of marital conflict and their internalizing and externalizing problems Ulu, IP; Fışıloğlu, Hürol (Wiley, 2002-12-01) The present study investigated the relationship between children's perceptions of marital conflict and children's internalizing and externalizing problems. Additionally, investigating gender and age differences in children's perceptions and the type of problems they exhibited were the other purposes of the study. The sample consisted of 9- to 12-year-old, nonclinical children from intact families (N = 232), one of their parents, and teachers. The data were gathered by administering the Child Behavior Checkl...
