In the last decade, the importance of high-precise geoid determination at local or national level has been pointed out by Turkish National Geodesy Commission. The Commission has also put objective of modernization of national height system of Turkey to the agenda. Meanwhile several projects have been realized in recent years. In Istanbul city, a GNSS/Levelling geoid was defined in 2005 for the metropolitan area of the city with an accuracy of ±3.5cm. In order to achieve a better accuracy in this area, “Local Geoid Determination with Integration of GNSS/Levelling and Astro-Geodetic Data” project has been conducted in Istanbul Technical University and Bogazici University KOERI since January 2016. The project is funded by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey. With the scope of the project, modernization studies of Digital Zenith Camera System are being carried on in terms of hardware components and software development. Accentuated subjects are the star catalogues, and centroiding algorithm used to identify the stars on the zenithal star field. During the test observations of Digital Zenith Camera System performed between 2013-2016, final results were calculated using the PSF method for star centroiding, and the second USNO CCD Astrograph Catalogue (UCAC2) for the reference star positions. This study aims to investigate the position accuracy of the star images by comparing different centroiding algorithms and available star catalogs used in astro-geodetic observations conducted with the digital zenith camera system.

The Impact of the Turkic Council (TURKKON) on Developing/Improving Relations between Turkey and Central Asia Kuşçu Bonnenfant, Işık; Ayata, Ayşe; Şentürk, Sezin; Doğangün, Huriye Gökten; Gürsoy Erdenay, Hazar Ege; Karadağ, Yelda(2016-12-31) Turkey welcomed the independence of the Central Asian republics with great excitement in terms of the potential opportunities for Turkey in the region. Immediately after the Soviet disintegration and the subsequent independence of the former Soviet republics of Central Asia, Turkish foreign policy evolved in a direction to initiate integration efforts with these countries. Turkey took the lead in designing cooperation mechanisms among the countries of Central Asia. Established in 2009 as the most comprehen...
A study on the urban/architectural transformations in Keçiören district after 1990s Pınarevli, Mehmet; Öğüt, Nergis Rana; Department of Architecture (2005) Ankara, being the capital, has been the most important city for the New Modern Turkish State on its way of establishing the modernity project of Turkey. The development of the urban planning projects proceeded on the basis of this aimed concept of the new society, carrying the privilege of being the symbol of the modern republic, prosperity and wealth. Keçiören is one of the main districts of Ankara. The main aim of this study is to analyze and describe the ideological departure of Keçiören from the concept...
The State and society relations in the early republican era : the state capacity and the hegemonic power of the Turkish State Başaranlar, Burak; Ergut, Ferdan; Department of History (2013) This study aims to examine the incapacity of Turkish state and the limitations of Kemalist regime to materialize the reforms. The study emphasizes that since the hegemonic and infrastructural power of the Turkish Republic was insufficient, the Kemalist regime partially failed to transform the society as it wished and could not legitimize the ideal behind the reforms because of the weak state structure. Firstly, theories about the state and society were touched upon. Three main theories which are liberal, Ma...
The Military and Europeanization Reforms in Turkey Ünlü Bilgiç, Tuba (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) The Europeanization reforms in Turkey are partly designed to bring about the demilitarization of Turkish politics. However, up to now reforms have not been free from the military's impact. The democracy game is still played in a field whose borders have been delimited by the Turkish armed forces (TAF) and its interpretation of Kemalism. Even when the boundaries of these borders were extended, it was more due to the TAF's self-restraint, motivated by the prospect of membership in the EU, rather than the rest...
The reconstruction of the past in the process of nation building in kazakhstan Usta, Ali Deniz; Aydıngün, Ayşegül; Department of Eurasian Studies (2007) In this thesis, the purpose is to analyze the path that the nation building process in Kazakhstan has been following in the post-Soviet period through examining the various policies implemented and the official rhetoric and discourses stated by the Kazakh policymakers. The ethno-symbolist approach of Anthony D. Smith and the views of Walker Connor and Willfried Spohn on nationalism and national identity have been utilized in the analysis of the research. The Soviet Nationalities Policy is examined to be abl...
