The Adaptive Reuse of Kirkuk Citadel [article]
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2017) Mokhtar, Mustafa Sabah Saleh; Korumaz, Mustafa
Knowledge and memory influence the interpretations of a built environment, implying particular expectations in regard to the built environments and their roles in a society. People and their culture constitute the spirits of a building and a space. Memory also can dominate many heritage users, individuals, social and political groups over many centuries. Memory and spirit of cultural heritage enriches cultural identity under the global development. The adaptive reuse of heritage buildings is valued for the contribution for social and environmental sustainability as well as retaining memory. The inherent value of cultural heritage components and their place within the community’s memory helps to reinforce sense of place. In conservation sense identity, memory and the relationships of people give cultural significance to historical places.Evolution of the built environments bridges past and present to the future and embrace memory. However the cities as organisms are in a dilemma along with the loss of city memories and city spirits. These collective memories that bring spirits to a place play very important role and determine the cultural significance of places. The main contribution of this study is to emphasize the importance of adaptive reuse as a carrier of spirits to have a collective memory in order to sustain the development of a place. This article explores the relations between spirit and memory of a place by focusing of adaptive reuse project in Kirkuk citadel. Aim of this study is to question and evaluate restoration of Kirkuk Citadel in terms of urban identity and sense of place referring the early Kirkuk city and development of it. This paper also intends to put important guidelines for the future restoration projects of Kirkuk citadel – which is very urgently required – and high lights the importance of revitalizing this area, which is now the semi-dead heart of the city. The paper advocates policy makers is to increase the adaptive reuse policy as an integral tool of regeneration and sustainability policies in order not to lose collective memory.

Analysis of Alioune Diop University in the Context of ‘natural and Cultural Sustainability’
(Asos Yayınevi, 2020) Yıldız Kuyrukçu, Emine; Taşkıran, Mine
Alioune Diop University was founded in 2007 as a part of the Senegalese government’s efforts to decentralize higher education provision, seeking both to encourage youth to stay in rural areas and to provide educational programs appropriate to these contexts. The university structure was awarded the Aga Khan Architecture Award in 2019 by achieving both a bold architectural expression and minimizing cost and maintenance costs by using local construction techniques and compliance with sustainability principles. The Aga Khan Architecture Award, which is given once every three yearssince 1977, is an award for architectural products covering contemporary design, social housing, social development, restoration, reuse and regional conservation projects that successfully interpret Islamic culture. How architecture affects the quality oflife has always been a fundamental issue for the Aga Khan Award. While the search for an updated architecture is desired to ensure social development in the Aga Khan Awards, “tradition and locality” are concepts that the institution never gives up from. Local data can be covered as natural and cultural data. The use of local data in the architectural design process is of great importance in terms of “natural and cultural sustainability”. In today’s architecture, this understanding has faded, and it has been observed that the structures are designed as typical repetitive imitations rather than being indigenous to the location. Whereas, each design location has its own geography, culture and lifestyle, as well as many natural and cultural local data. The aim of this study is to emphasize the importance of local data usage in the architectural design process in the architecture that is trying to survive today, to analyze how these processes develop and are 565implemented through the Aga Khan Award winning Alioune Diop University. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that ecologically friendly solutions were presented in the structure, which contains reflections from local architecture. As a result, the Alioune Diop University Education and Research Building is an award-winning structure that has both an audacious architectural expression and has managed to minimize costs and maintenance costs using locally familiar construction techniques and adhering to sustainability principles. The information obtained will also enable future ecological solutions for the sustainability of local architecture.Keywords:Aga Khan Award, Alioune Diop University, Cultural Data, Locality, Natural Data, Natural and Cultural Sustainability1.IntroductionArchitecture is an example of art that has emerged in accordance with the basic needs of mankind. Evolved from the early ages to the present day and developed, varied according to its location, carried the traces of the period of its made, economical, cultural, religious, climatic, topographic, etc. were kneaded with all kinds of factors (Yüksel & Akbulut, 2009).The concept of ‘moving to the future’, which is the necessity of architecture, i.e. sustainability, plays an important role in architecture (Kısa Ovalı & Delibaş, 2016). Sustainability is often performed using local data with basic and simple methods. Local data reflects the fact that the structures are unique to the ground, the culture of the geography in which they are located and the way of life (Büyükpamukçu, 2019). Local data can be covered as natural and cultural data. The use of local data in the architectural design process is of great importance in terms of “natural and cultural sustainability”.

Analysis of Land Use/Land Cover Changes and Prediction of Future Changes With Land Change Modeler: Case of Belek, Turkey
(Springer, 2023) Akdeniz, Halil Burak; Serdaroğlu Sağ, Neslihan; İnam, Şaban
In the areas declared to be a tourism center by state planning, a rapid tourism-related development occurs depending on the investments in tourism, which causes a dramatic land use/land cover (LULC) change. Determining, monitoring, and modeling of LULC changes are required in order to ensure the conservation-use balance and sustainability within such vulnerable areas that are under development pressure. This study consists of four steps. In the first step, the Landsat images dated 1985, 2000, 2010, and 2021 were classified using the maximum likelihood method and the LULC of Belek Tourism Center located in Turkey were determined. The second step included the identification of areal and spatial changes between the LULC classes for the four periods. In the third step, the LULC changes in Belek Tourism Center for 2040 were modeled using the land change modeler. Last step evaluated the relationship between the modeled spatial development pattern and the current planning decisions. According to the results obtained during 36 years, the rates of built-up, forest, and water body areas have increased by 11.91%, 13.67%, and 0.82%, respectively, whereas the rates of barren land and agricultural areas have reduced by 22.25% and 4.15%, respectively. The LULC map modeled for 2040 predicts the built-up areas to expand by 8.25% and the agricultural areas to shrink by 5.42% by comparison with 2021. This study will contribute as a key measure for planners, policy-, and decision-makers to make decisions related to sustainable land use in the areas declared to be a tourism center.
An Analysis of the Changing Role of Istanbul as a Megacity in the World
(ISOCARP, 2019) Paköz, Muhammed Ziya; Baş, Ahmet; Eren, Fatih
Istanbul is a unique part of the world because of not only its history, but also its function as a bridge from the point of economic, social and cultural interrelations. There are many cities, which are settled near a water source; however, Istanbul is the only city that is settled between two continents and two seas. All these features create some opportunities and threats for the city in terms of hinterland relations and the spatial structure. This paper aims to find out the economic, social and cultural impact of globalization on the spatial structure and the hinterland relations of Istanbul while discussing the city’s contradictory positions as an edge of Europe and as a bridge between the East and the West. Within this scope, we made a multiscale analysis considering interregional and inter-urban relations and their socio-spatial imprints within the boundaries of the city. Firstly, we made a comparative analysis to understand the changing position of Istanbul in the world in the 21st century by using global and regional indexes. Secondly we examined the change in the hinterland relations of the city by investigating the flows of people, goods, services and ideas between other regions / cities and the city of Istanbul in time. Thirdly, we traced the spatial imprints of these flows and interactions within the city in terms of relocations and displacements. Our study shows the growing importance of the city not only as a part of Europe but also as a node and bridge for the globalized world while emphasising socio-cultural and socio-economic tensions within the city as a result of this process.

Analysis of the Effects of Adding Pyroclastic Rock To Red Mud for the Production of a Baked Building Material in Terms of Its Resistance To Frost Actions
(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2020) Dereli, Mustafa; Tosun, Mustafa
In the aluminum sector, approximately 130 million tons of waste red mud was produced in the last year. Such a high amount of wastes causes their storage areas to become a threat to the environment. Numerous studies have been conducted in the literature to eliminate this environmental threat. However, it is observed that these studies are mostly conducted on only a part of the waste, and there are few studies on the whole consumption of waste. Due to the said lack in the literature, it is thought that this waste can be utilized as a baked building material and consumed systematically. However, according to the literature and previous studies, it is observed that the use of the waste alone will not produce a quality building material. Therefore, otiose pyroclastic rocks were included within the scope of the study to be used together with the waste material. Accordingly, micronized pyroclastic rocks obtained from different regions were added to red mud at the proportions of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% by weight. Bentonite of 3% was added to mixtures to prevent capillary cracks. As a result of the preliminary experiments conducted on the baked building material samples obtained with the above-mentioned mixture ratios, two mixture types from each region with the highest compressive strength were selected. Physical and mechanical experiments were conducted on the samples to determine the resistance to frost actions-as an outer ambient condition with the most destructive effect-of the baked building materials (especially brick, etc. with the widest area of usage in outer walls and surface cover materials such as ceramic, clinker pavement, etc.) which will be obtained with these mixtures. As a result of the study, the optimum mixture type was determined to be the sample formed by adding 10% volcanic tuff around campus to red mud and baking it at a temperature of 1050 degrees C. Furthermore, different mixture types formed by adding the micronized pyroclastic material from other regions could reach sufficient values in terms of both compressive strength and frost actions. According to the results of the study, this material will fulfill the need for raw material as a building material resistant to frost actions and used in outer masonry. In this study, a process was obtained to eliminate a potential environmental problem, and a contemporary building material intended to be used as a sustainable building material was produced.
An Analytical Overview of Futuristic Strategies in the Practice of Interdisciplinary Architecture Education
(2024) Çakmak, Bilgehan Yılmaz; Özdemir, Erdoğan Tuğba; Burkut, Emine Banu
Architectural education is a universal discipline that requires an artistic, technical, and holistic perspective. It is a field of science and art that focuses on problem-solving and spatial creativity. As in all fields of science and art, the boundaries and scope of the field of architecture cannot be drawn. Its structure is so broad that it cannot be limited to a single discipline, and at the same time, it is flexible enough to make room for itself in every discipline. In this respect, even the concept of interdisciplinary is insufficient to coincide with the discipline of architecture as it describes a certain cross-section, and it becomes important what the disciplines that include architecture are and what the sentences of architecture can be in areas other than known disciplines. The headings that can be addressed separately are defined under the title "interdisciplinary," and the concept continues to exist as an unexamined area in the flexible and variable structure of architecture without being deepened enough. What is important is to define well which discipline influences to what extent and to define that all interdisciplinary subjects are areas that serve the main purpose of problem-solving and spatial creativity, to preserve the core balance of architecture without getting lost in the vast universe. The study aims to make an analytical look at architectural education, which is the environment where the concept of interdisciplinary in architectural practice is given and the boundaries are first taught. In this way, new expansions and questions are expected to arise in architectural education. From an analytical perspective, the issue of balancing architectural education and industry will be discussed using the PESTEL analysis method, which is a method used in strategic planning and especially in the field of business administration.

An Analytical Study About the Use of Steel Plate Shear Walls To Improve Lateral Rigidity of Reinforced Concrete Framed Structures
(LATIN AMER J SOLIDS STRUCTURES, 2020) Korkmaz, Serra Zerrin
Steel plate shear walls are becoming popular for steel structures. In this study, the use of Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSW) was discussed to increase the horizontal stiffness of reinforced concrete structures. It was aimed to fix the SPSW elements to the exterior of the building. ABAQUS models of SPSW applied 2D frame samples, which were tested in a previous experimental study, were created. Experimental and analytical horizontal load-top displacement curves were found to be in good agreement. In the study, ABAQUS models of a 6-story and 3D reinforced concrete building were also created. In models, SPSW elements were placed at the exterior of the building. The load capacities of the reinforced and non-reinforced building models were compared. The steel sheet thickness and the number of frame openings at which the SPSW element was placed were considered as the variable parameters.
Application of a Cultural Route Evaluation Model (crem) for Cultural Tourism in Case of Karaman
(İKSAD Publishing House, 2023) Güleç Korumaz, Saadet Armağan; Topbaş Çelik, Rumeysa
Tourism emerges as a popular and significant industry that affects various sectors. In today's world, innovation has led to qualitative changes in tourism, with a growing emphasis on culture-focused tourism. Cultural based visits prioritize the built environment, making cultural resources, as components of the environment, closely related to tourism (Lasansky & McLaren, 2004). In the last decades, culture-based toursim routes has become very popular since they offer important opportunities for demonstrating new places, promote the city’s brand value with new products and experiences. In this context especially developing countries with rich valuable and cultural heritage have more advantege for showing their potentials. The Council of Europe created and organised the first and the most popular types of cultural routes and defined the trends of cultural tourism development. A considerable progress have been reached in the las years in small and medium scale. Beside cultural routes encourage the local communities, they also promote the awareness of cultural heritage, create important sources for local economy by promoting cultural heritage. According to the ICOMOS Charter on Cultural routes (2005): “The consideration of cultural trails as a newconcept or category does not conflict nor overlap with other categories or types of cultural properties– monuments, cities, cultural landscapes, industrial heritage, etc., that may exist within the orbit of a given cultural corridor. It simply includes them within a joint system which enhances their significance” (ICOMOS Charter on Cultural Routes, 2005). Research indicates that cultural route evaluation has become a popular topic in recent years, leading stakeholders to develop various heritage assessment models that are continually updated and improved over time. Cultural routes, as a response to these endeavors, bring together multiple destinations under a common theme, contributing to regional development and serve as means to understand heritage values (Taşkan et al, 2020). This study focuses on the city of Karaman in Anatolia, which has a multi layered cultural structure and has been home to multiple civilizations, making it a potential destination for cultural tourism. The aim of the study is to integrate the city's heritage sites into tourism routes to promote its development and achieve the recognition it deserves, thus creating a vision for its future. For this aim, a Cultural Route Evaluation Model (CREM) is applied for improving cultural tourism in Karaman. In the first step, a cultural route including important cultural heritage structures and areas was designed and proposed. Then main indicators and sub-indicators were determined for CREM Model. These indicators were asked to ten experts in order to determine the potential of the proposed cultural route. At the end of evaluation main values and tourism specific values are calculated of the proposed route. Regarding to these values, some suggestions were made for teh future of Karaman cultural tourism development.
Applying a Morphological Approach Into Istanbul’s Urban Landscape
(Springer, 2022) Arat, Muzaffer Ali; Oliveira, Vitor
This paper proposes a methodology based on the concept of morphological region and the method of morphological regionalization. The concept has been proposed by M.R.G. Conzen in the early 1960s, and promoted by J.W.R. Whitehand and his colleagues at the University of Birmingham mainly from the late 1980s. A morphological region is an area that has unity in respect of its form that distinguishes it from surrounding areas, based on a combination of town-plan, building fabric, and land and building utilization (Conzen’s tripartite division of the urban landscape). The methodology is based on a set of criteria considering the tripartite division of the urban landscape. Age of streets, streets geometry, plot layout, and building coverage are four criteria offered on the basis of the town-plan. Architectural style, building material, and height are proposed on the basis of the building fabric. Finally, land and building utilization is used to design the methodology. The methodology is applied to the Fatih District, the historical core of Istanbul. A four-tier hierarchy of regions is identified. The map of first-order morphological regions can offer the basis to produce a map of planning zones—a key tool to guide urban landscape management. Lower order regions can support the formulation of regulations for each planning zone, framing the design of new forms, assuring a strong relationship with extant urban forms. These ideas, detailed in the paper, are of great relevance for spatial planning, particularly for Turkish planning, where regulations are very generic and do not acknowledge the specific character of each urban landscape.

Applying a Morphological Approach To Istanbul’s Urban Landscape [conference Object]
(2022) Oliveira, Vitor; Arat, Muzaffer Ali
Change of the physical, economic, social, and environmental aspects, have existed in each city’s life, from the formation of the first settlement to today’s city or metropolis. The twentieth century has been the turning point for the urban transformation of many cities. Istanbul is one of these cities. For more than 1500 years, Istanbul was the capital of three great empires, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman. Over this period, the city has experienced a dramatic transformation in its historical urban landscape, particularly stemmed from wars, fires, and earthquakes. Over this process, the city has not been able to avoid the loss of a significant part of its built heritage. The historical core of the city, namely Fatih district, is the most prominent region that suffers from the interventions which are being maintained in the building fabric. Most of the traditional buildings were replaced with contemporary buildings, not considering their type, size, and height. While substantial changes were becoming in the street patterns, the plot system lost its shape, size and its arrangement in street blocks. The policies and decisions of agents and agencies responsible for change, particularly local planning authorities, initiators, architects, and builders have a great role in those changes. While new plans and design proposals are prepared for the city, in particular for the historical core of the city, they still lack an historical framework and a systematic understanding of urban form. In the Turkish planning system, urban regeneration projects many times contribute to the destruction of unique built heritage; reconstruction and rehabilitation projects tend to lack scientific support, and mainstream practice does not consider a consistent approach for maintaining the structural elements. Spatial planning should offer a more effective and protective framework for structural elements to be transferred to the future. This paper proposes a methodology based on the concept of morphological region and the method of morphological regionalzation to deal with these issues. The concept has been proposed by M.R.G. Conzen in the early 1960s, and promoted by J.W.R. Whitehand and his colleagues at the University of Birmingham mainly from the late 1980s. A morphological region is an area that has unity in respect of its form that distinguishes it from surrounding areas, based on a combination of town-plan, building fabric, and land and building utilization (Conzen’ s tripartite division of the urban landscape).

Architectural and Social Adaptation of Traditional Housing From Past To Present; the Sample of Karahüyük in Konya
(Dicle Üniversity, 2023) Oktaç Beycan, Arife Deniz; Şahin, Sinem Tuğçe
The rapid urbanization caused by Industrial Revolution has become a problem for all cities around the world. The transformation began with reinforced concrete structures and continued with the use of iron and steel has led to a new era in buildings. With the recent social and cultural changes, traditional materials and sustainable housing are no longer preferred. Therefore, people are abandoning their traditional homes and neighborhoods. The recent increase in apartment construction has narrowed the distance between people, but has also led to a lack of social interaction. In contrast, when distances are greater in traditional housing neighborhoods, human relationships become stronger, and traditional living spaces close to nature also create a comfortable social space. Therefore, restoration and reinforcement work, including addressing spatial and structural deficiencies, is necessary for traditional living areas to continue to be used. Konya is one of the cities where villages on the outskirts of the city are undergoing transformation and becoming central neighborhoods. One of these transformations is taking place in the Karahüyük neighborhood of Meram district in Konya. While the neighborhood continues to stand with original and traditional materials and techniques, it is caught in an intermediate section between rapid urbanization. In this study it is shown that a traditional residential structure can meet the needs of modern life and the requirements of a modern family while providing comfort. The condition of a building made with traditional materials and structure, such as adobe, in a traditional region is discussed, and the spatial happiness of a modern family living with a traditional perspective in the region is conveyed. In conclusion it is reached that social, ecological, and economic sustainability can be achieved without disrupting traditional pattern and construction.
An Architectural Design Process Experience With a Studio Work in the Context of Local Culture
(2024) Kuyrukçu, Zafer
In the globalizing world, the transfer of the cultural fabric of cities and regions, urban landscapes, to future generations is deemed a pivotal issue. Imitative endeavors, crafted to pass on local culture through architectural works, not only breed misunderstandings of the local culture but also impede architectural development. The incorporation of local culture into original architectural works and its fusion with modern architecture has emerged as a formidable design challenge. The transmission of this design challenge and the associated awareness to architects can be achieved by emphasizing the subject in studio education. In this context, a boutique hotel design project was executed in Sille, a historic settlement, as part of the Konya Technical University Department of Architecture Studio 4 course during the 2022-2023 Spring Semester. Throughout the course, students were tasked with developing projects within the framework of the concept of ‘place’. The expectation was for students not only to grasp the concept of ‘place’ but also to comprehend its seamless integration into the architectural project and resolve the spatial organization of the hotel. At the end of the semester, six student projects were selected and evaluated within the scope of the study. The analysis of project proposals revealed that while students demonstrated an understanding of the concept of ‘place’, there was a partial inadequacy in effectively reflecting the local culture in their architectural projects. In this regard, it may be considered to add other course(s) to the curriculum to support the design process, especially to enable students to grasp the relationship more easily between local culture and architecture.
Architectural Sketch Studio” Experience on the Act of Making, Learning and Understanding
(2021) Çakmak, Bilgehan Yılmaz
Thinking with sketches is the most basic way of thinking in architecture. Thinking, on the other hand, includes understanding comprehension and producing new thoughts in its substructure. This is where imagination and creativity arise. Understanding a building by the architect must first be perceived as understanding mentally. Looking at a building from a distance or seeing it from its photograph is not enough to understand the spirit of the space. Abstracting and sketching means concentrating on the building intellectually and internalizing it. In addition to all these, talking about the basic qualities of architectural structures, spending time next to the building, absorbing its soul and feeling its textures are also important parts of understanding the building in terms of architecture. This study will try to explain how the architect obtained the experience of thinking and understanding by sketching by focusing on the concept of architectural sketch in its steps. The architectural sketch studio, which was established for these purposes, started as a platform that was established in a virtual environment and communicated online. It is an environment where designers, who stay away from sketches due to the pandemic, meet once a week and experience different techniques to contribute to their thinking, imagining and creative actions. The aim of the establishment of this workshop is to make the architects experience the practical ways of sketching, which they approach and hesitate with fear, and to contribute to their development by providing continuity. With this studio, which was established to explain the experience of sketching learning to individuals as an alternative education methodology, it is aimed to be a new approach to changing educational environments and learning styles. For this purpose, a sketch studio was formed, sometimes in a workshop next to the building, sometimes as an online activity, meeting regularly every week. The most important acquisition of the workshop was to explain that the architectural sketch is not only a means of representation, but a means of understanding and thinking. In addition to this, a part of the place that touches the spirit of the place, which is enjoyed and produced products is brought to the individuals.
Architectural Survey of the Vaults of Sangallo’s House in Florence
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Belli, Gianluca; Bonora, Valentina; Guardini, Nadia; Güleç Korumaz, Saadet Armağan; Tucci, Grazia
1.1any technologies have been used in cultural heritage conservation and documentation in recent years. üne of these techniques, laser scanning which is increasingly becoming popular in late years is used for various purposes like surveying, modelling, archiving and visualization in the field of cultural heritage. Plenty of works have been done in heritage documentation with laser scanning technique allowing the user to achieve different information from a 3D model and helping to investigate the shape and components of heritage. This paper deals with how a 3D model can be used to identify the construction technique of heritage and the application of laser scanning for the generation of 3D models of the vaults in Sangallo's House in Firenze. The aim of this study is to compare the shape and the constructive techniques of surveyed vaults. To achieve this aim, we needed to obtain the thickness and the morphology of the vaults, and this information was provided by laser scanner survey. The paper presents applied technology and instruments used, steps of graphical evaluation and 3D, comparisons between the vaults. In order to make comparison, detailed surface modelling was needed to understand them and to be able to see the differences between construction techniques of the vaults. Leica HDS 6000 laser scanner was used for the generation of 3D model of the vaults. Then point clouds were registered in Cyclone. After that, cross sections were extracted from 3D model to understand vault thickness, shape and to have an idea about how they were built. The results will be displayed and evaluations will be made as conclusion.
Assessment of Temporary Shelter Areas After Disaster Using the Delphhi Method: the Case of Osmaniye
(2023) Büyüköztürk, Elife; Oral, Murat
Earthquakes are disasters that cause thousands of lives and property losses. Türkiye is under constant earthquake threat due to its geological location. One of the most important problems that arise after the earthquake is shelter. It is urgently necessary to provide shelter for earthquake victims. Therefore, temporary shelters are constructed in the cities where the earthquake occurred so that the earthquake victims, who are first placed in tents, can continue their vital functions until permanent residences are completed. In the study, the method was carried out in two steps. In the first step, spatial and structural suitability was determined for temporary shelter areas using the Delphi method. In this regard, 7 priority criteria and their significance levels were determined with the opinions of 15 experts and tested on the Osmaniye southern ring road. In the evaluation made by the field experts, it was determined that the Osmaniye container city was not sufficient to be a shelter area. In the second step of the method, the shelter area that was deemed unsuitable by the experts was also evaluated from the perspective of the users and a 21- question survey was conducted with 155 users. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that earthquake victims were also dissatisfied with the shelter area. In this context, the temporary shelter area should be reconsidered. It is thought that this study will be guiding in terms of ensuring the satisfaction of users in the selection of temporary shelter areas in future studies.

(KONYA TECHNICAL UNIV, FAC ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN, 2020) Dereyurt, Buse Sahin; Gündüz, Elif
Purpose Rather than solely having agricultural production at its core, rural development comprises of a multiaxial structure in which the socio-economic structure develops, non-agricultural economic diversification is assured, and a governance-based approached is adopted in the organization and participation mechanisms. The applicability and consistency of these intertwined axes entail an integrated approach to efforts in rural development. With the purpose of uncovering the critical points of the process, creating strategies intended for rural economic development within the axes valued by different stakeholders, and strengthening the participation mechanisms, SWOT Analysis, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) integrated method, and TOWS matrix have been used to identify the Gudul rural economic development model. Design/Methodology/Approach In this study, the hierarchical structure established for the economic structure of Gudul is placed on the foundations of a SWOT analysis, quantified through Analytic Hierarchy Process, and evaluated within the framework of the three stakeholder's perceptions (local people, experts, and local governments) according to their priority values. Findings Thus, the extent of the respective effects of important factors in rural economic development has been identified. In conclusion, the decisive role of quantified methods in the identification of strategies and policies utilized in the process of Gudu's rural economic development has been manifested. Various strategies supporting the rural development and also institutions responsible for the implementation of these strategies were designated in light of the needs of Gudul and the expectations of the local people living in rural areas. Research Limitations/Implications The version of the questionnaire forms compatible with the SWOT-AHP technique, the scarcity of local manager surveys, the lack of answers to the questions of the local people are among the main difficulties encountered. Originality/Value This study is quite original in that it is the first strategic rural development plan model made specifically for Gudul, related to the participation of indigenous people in planning initiatives and transparently reflects the sometimes combined and sometimes changing views of local people, experts and local administrators about the importance of SWOT groups has a quality.
Assessment of the State and Impact of Tourism Activities in Kenya
(2021) Gündüz, Elif; Agayi, Collins
Tourism plays a significant role in the economic development of Kenya. However, the development of the sector continues to face challenges arising, both locally and globally. This study identifies and analyses these problems and how they impact tourism activities. The study provides a brief overview of the role of international tourism by highlighting its socio-economic, environmental, and political contributions to the country's development. Also discussed are the sustainability issues around mass tourism and its effect on the environmental, social, economic, and cultural aspects of life in the host regions. The key to addressing the tourism sector's performance is the understanding of the significant role the market plays. Focusing on this, the study examines emerging issues in the Kenyan tourism sector i.e. seasonality, overreliance on the international market, impacts of tourism infrastructure development on space, among others, and their roles in shaping the tourism industry. It is established that overdependence on the international market exposes Kenyan tourism to global risks that could result in the collapse of the sector, thus negatively affecting the economy. To safeguard the Country from external risks, the study proposes strengthening domestic tourism by encouraging local investors' participation in international tourism. The study also identifies the main problems related to tourism activities in Kenya including; pollution, destruction of cultural heritage, the threat to the health of both human and aquatic life, human-wildlife conflicts, less economic benefits to local communities and host nations dues to dominance by transnational corporations, social ills like drug abuse, luring of young girls into sex resulting into early pregnancy and school drop-out among other problems. The findings of this research are based on a review of previously done research literature, academic documents, government reports, among other secondary and primary sources of data.
Assessment of Urban Development Pattern and Urban Sprawl Using Shannon’s Entropy: a Case Study of Konya (turkey)
(International Journal of Human Sciences, 2021) Serdaroğlu Sağ, Neslihan
Defined as the uncontrolled expansion of cities toward their periphery, urban sprawl emerges during urban developments where the urban area grows more than the population increase. Furthermore, land-related demands emerge for the needs regarding settlement and infrastructure due to certain reasons such as the increase in the urban population, industrialization and lifestyle changes. As these demands are met through irregular area use, cities expand toward their peripheral areas more than necessary. Moreover, natural resources and agricultural areas are damaged, infrastructure and transportation costs increase, urban functions get separated, and social and financial issues occur. The problem of urban sprawl is one of the major issues suffered by the global cities in the last decades. For Turkey where approximately 75% of the population live in cities, examining the urban developments and specifying the rate of urban sprawl is critical. This study aimed to assess the case study of urban development and sprawl in Konya (Turkey). It first examined the population and urban area in the urban plans guiding the urban development pattern. Then, the study analyzed the changes the built-up areas underwent for 35 years between 1985 and 2020. As method, satellite images and GIS were used. Moreover, the level of sprawl regarding the urban development in Konya was measured based on Shannon’s Entropy Index. Finally, this study found that Konya was suffering the issue of sprawl, and it emphasized the importance of studies for guiding the activities of urban development in a sustainable manner.
