A Spatial impromptu: green resistance by guerrilla gardening
Ateş, Burcu; Sargın, Güven Arif; Department of Architecture (2015)
The rise of industrial capitalism in 19th century brought pressures of mechanisation, privatisation and urbanisation, which triggered the fall of public life. Therefore, under such pressures, notion of public and, accordingly, perception over concept of publicness and public spaces have changed. Along with that change, ‘space’ has been commodified through being reduced into a physical entity, where merely technocrats are capable of producing it. Thus, individuals have been excluded from processes of product...
A social psychological examination of actions concerning poverty
Fidan, Merve; Cingöz Ulu, Banu; Department of Psychology (2022-2-2)
In the field of intergroup prosocial behavior, which has recently begun to be included in the field of social psychology, studies examining actions concerning poverty have also recently begun. However, both in the case of Turkey and for the field as a whole, there is still much to be examined from the perspective of intergroup prosociality regarding poverty. Three studies were conducted to examine the role of ideological orientations, causal attributions of poverty and emotions on poverty-related actions. T...
A Step towards reconciliation : Hegel's Antigone and ethical life
Önem, Sinem; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2012)

Antigone’s act of mourning has a central position in the cont...
A DEFENSE OF MEANING ELIMINATIVISM: A CONNECTIONIST APPROACH
Toy, Tolgahan; Grünberg, David; Department of Philosophy (2022-3)
The standard approach to model how human beings understand natural languages is the symbolic, compositional approach according to which the meaning of a complex expression is a function of the meanings of its constituents. In other words, meaning plays a fundamental role in the model. In this work, because of the polysemous, flexible, dynamic, and contextual structure of natural languages, this approach is rejected. Instead, a connectionist model which eliminates the concept of meaning is proposed.
A net-zero building application and its role in exergy-aware local energy strategies for sustainability
Kılkış, Şiir (2012-11-01)
Based on two case studies, this paper explores the nexus of exergy, net-zero targets, and sustainable cities as a means of analyzing the role of exergy-aware strategies at the building and district level. The first case study is a premier building in Ankara that is ready to meet the net-zero exergy target. It is also the first building in Turkey to receive the highest Platinum rating in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. A net-zero exergy building (NZEXB) is a building that has an annual sum of ...
