From US with Love: Community Participation, Stakeholder Partnership, and the Exacerbation of Inequality in Rural Jamaica Kuymulu, Mehmet Barış (2011-05-01) This paper examines and argues against the neoliberal assumption that local community participation in market-based nature conservation projects is democratic and leads to community empowerment through economic development. It does so by analyzing the formation of Local Forest Management Committees, instigated by one of the largest US-based environmentalist NGOs - the Nature Conservancy - and its partnering local environmental NGOs for conserving the tropical forests of Cockpit Country, Jamaica. The paper d...
From Eco-topia to Eco-polis: A Needful Path to Real Reform Güneri Söğüt, Gizem Deniz (2010-12-20) The 21st century is witnessing a growing awareness on ecological problems related to/caused by our urban settings. This brings about a plethora of new utopian ideals envisioning alternative futures for these settings, picturing ecologically sustainable urban environments. Yet, we know that absolutist urban utopias which depict cities as ‘closed wholes’ proved either unrealizable or unsuccessful in the past centuries as they only gave very limited clues about how to get from the existing conditions of the ci...

Besides being a physical dwelling unit, “house” will be interpreted as a domestic space where the inhabitants are able to personalize. A museum, on the other hand, will be approa...

Back to the Future: Interpretation of Post-COVID-19 Architecture through 1960s Futurism Öztek, Elif; Karakaş, Bilge (2021-10-01) COVID-19 has changed the configuration and needs in architectural and urban spaces. Today, only the pandemic's short-term consequences have been seen in architecture, whereas the longterm influences are still being discussed. This article aims to look for an insight into postpandemic architecture in the long term through the futuristic architectural projects of the 1960s. For that purpose, this study primarily conducts a literature review about post-disease architecture after 19th-century epidemics. Followi...
