Increase in the number of academic studies trying to explain cities by complexity science from the 1990s, is not only a coincidence (Batty, 2005; Portugali, 2000). There, planning, as a serious yet unpredictable ‘game’ full of challenges (de Roo et al 2016), is in need of proposing new approaches in order to deal with such complex systems, where planners and academics should realise the power and the capability of the process through strategic navigation (Hillier, 2011); recognise the understanding of multi-agent structures containing numerous agents engaged in various relations and communications with each (Sawyer, 2005); comprehend the permeable and unpredictable boundaries within social, economic and political spheres (Sanyal, 2005) and the coevolving, self-organising, emergent yet also adaptive nature as complex systems (de Roo, 2010). Therefore, rather than elaborating on a descriptive explanatory narrative, we aim to uncover differentmodes of understanding of the settlement patterns emerging through urban transformation interventions of the cities that are evolving through above mentioned complex systems. It does this taking Izmir (Turkey) urban region as a case study with respect to various urban transformation projects and starts with a pilot study to narrow down the potential cases. Later a detailed investigation will be conducted via obtaining documented sources of municipal archives, benefiting from formal and informal interactions with municipal actors. Overall the study follows up three steps of understanding settlements; uncover emergences via outliers through transformation processes; and finally assembling the first two to attain synthesis to unfold the underlying patterns of change.

Understanding consumer innovativeness via theory of goal directed behavior: an investigation of factors affecting adoption of online games Baybaş, Gülnur; Yılmaz, Cengiz; Department of Business Administration (2015) This study aims to analyze the factors behind adoption of online games, using a theoretical foundation based mostly on the theory of goal-directed behavior and diffusion of innovations model. Factors affecting the adoption behavior are determined on the basis of the goal directed behavior theory, and differences between adopter categories of online game buyers are investigated by applying Rogers’ diffusion of innovations (DOI) theory. Online survey was conducted to reach target group by using social media a...
CREATING COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT IN HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING: AN ANALYSIS OF TURKEY Nuhoğlu, Gökçe; Aydınoğlu, Arsev Umur; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2022-5) The use of High-Performance Computing (HPC) has become vital not only in computer science but also in many scientific areas ranging from Covid-19 studies to space sciences. Thus, although HPC is at the heart of many small and large-scale collaborations, its relationship with collaboration is quite limited in the literature. The studies mainly focused on HPC return on investment. In this thesis, collaboration in studies using HPC is investigated from the researcher's perspective using HPC. The study is carri...
Integrating landmarks into a computational model of early cognitive mapping Gürgen, Erkan; Say, Bilge; Zeyrek, Deniz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2002) This work aims to expand the computational theory of early cognitive mapping proposed by Yeap (1988) and Yeap and Jefferies (1999). Yeap and Jefferies developed a computational theory based on human cognitive mapping studies. Their theory starts from a 2 1/2-D sketch that is the output of Marr's vision theory (Marr, 1982). They attempt to answer the question of what is computed first from 2 1/2-D sketch. They argue that the boundary of the local space which one is surrounded by is computed first. Yeap and J...
Planlamada Sosyal Bilimcinin Değişen Rolü: Toplumdan Biri Olmak Ataöv, Anlı (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2007) In this paper, by reviewing urban planning paradigms since World War II, I demonstrate how the role of social scientists has changed in accordance with global trends, theoretical argumentation in planning and the relationship of research with practice. I do this in reference to three general planning approaches, including physical, rational, and participatory. Then, I display how social scientists can transform real life planning processes into a change process through scientific inquiry. Social scientists ...
Testing the quantity theory of money in Greece Ozmen, E (Informa UK Limited, 2003-12-15) This paper investigates whether the Greek data actually support the monetarist hypotheses as argued by Karfakis. The results based on both ARDL and Johansen procedures consistently suggest that money and nominal income (prices) are endogenous for the parameters of the long-run evolution of velocity (real money balances). Thus, the basic postulation of monetarism, the exogeneity of money, appears not to be supported by the Greek data.
