Increasing walkability capacity of historic city centers : the case of Mersin Belge, Züleyha Sara; Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2012) Sustainability, livability and quality of life have become widely and in-depth discussed issues in the literature of urban zlanning and design. This study primarily aims to investigate the concept of walkability as a part of the literature on livability. To draw a wider theoretical framework for this study, it first seeks to answer the questions of what the terms of ‘livability’ and ‘quality of life’ mean, and what components they constitute. Then, it focuses on the concept of ‘walkability’ as one of the ma...
Increasing walkability in public spaces of city centres: the case of Tunali Hilmi Street, Ankara Ghadimkhani, Parisa; Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge; Department of City and Regional Planning (2011) Liveability and walkability have recently become one of the major policy topics in the agenda of many cities all over the world because of the negative effects of car-oriented urban developments that have impoverished physical, social, cultural, economic and environmental values of cities. In Ankara, however, the urban development policies based on the decentralization of the city centre and inner city, the impoverished public transportation services and infrastructure, the increasing car-dependent developm...

Improving land data assimilation performance with a water budget constraint Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; Houser, Paul R. (American Meteorological Society, 2011-10-01) A weak constraint is introduced in ensemble Kalman filters to reduce the water budget imbalance that occurs in land data assimilation. Two versions of the weakly constrained filter, called the weakly constrained ensemble Kalman filter (WCEnKF) and the weakly constrained ensemble transform Kalman filter (WCETKF), are proposed. The strength of the weak constraint is adaptive in the sense that it depends on the statistical characteristics of the forecast ensemble. The resulting filters are applied to assimilat...
Increasing trustworthiness of security critical applications using trusted computing Uzunay, Yusuf; Baykal, Nazife; Bıçakcı, Kemal; Department of Information Systems (2014) In this thesis work, we aim to increase the trustworthiness of security critical applications by utilizing trusted computing technologies. We focus on two case applications; authentication proxy systems and e-voting systems. Our first case application is authentication proxy systems which store users’ sensitive credentials and submit them to the servers of the service providers on their behalf. To increase the trustworthiness of authentication proxy systems, we propose Trust-in-the-Middle a trusted platform...
