PRESS AND BROADCASTING 53 3 PREFACE Within the context of the Centennial Honour Year of the Founding of our Republic, we are working diligently in providing strong support for the mobilisation being undertaken on a national scale for this occasion and in taking steps to reach a special place than today in 2023 for Konya. The source of our strength is harmony at the highest level between the provincial public and private sectors and NGOs; the determination to work jointly and a like-minded philosophical approach. Given these features, we are effectively utilising our existing resources, our potential and regional dynamism to expand the sustainability of our province in a rapid, healthy and rational manner.

No doubt Konya is like a shining star in the middle of Anatolia with the variety in its economic activities and its strong and rapidly developing economy.

In many of the sub-sectors in the service sector, the Province of Konya is an area of opportunities with its young and dynamic human capital, strategic position in the middle of a large market, lively economy and commercial life, high competitive strength in potential tourism, rich natural beauty, promising profitable future in the health sector, real estate investment partnership opportunities, the existence of supportive organisations in co-operation and the existence of large land that can be allocated to investors.

Parallel to the world, the share of the service sector in our Province within the economy is rapidly expanding. While the retail industry is in first place in the service sector, in terms of the number of businesses, it is followed by the construction industry, the transport industry and the wholesale trade industry. With 3,000 businesses active in an area covering 4.5 million m2, the Province of Konya has a vibrant commercial life with 10 Shopping Centres with a total capacity of 700 businesses.

The transportation advantages of a central location within the country have also turned Konya into a centre in the field of logistics with the inclusion of the infrastructure suitable for intermodal transport. Konya is a junction with its motorways connecting to seven different provinces. A very large part of these motorway connexions are divided motorways. Konya has one of the leading road freight and passenger transport fleets in Turkey. Konya ranks sixth in the country with the number of firms possessing the C-2 4 ­ÚšŽ¯“’œÍŠš œ¨Ž¡šœ¡œœš­Š

Rainfall in the large expanse that lies to the east and north of the Province and is popularly known as the “Konya Plain” is below 400 mm while in certain local regions rainfall below 300 mm has made the dry agriculture system compulsory. In other words, the “grain- fallow” rotation is the most common agriculture system in these areas.

The realities of nature have meant that in arid lands the grain-fallow rotation system in agriculture production and in animal husbandry sheep breeding has come to the forefront.

In particular, during recent years, as a result of state investments and individual and joint initiatives of farmers, areas opened to irrigation have seen significant progress.

Today, 595,059 hectares of land (According to the KOP Agency regional report) are open to irrigated agriculture. With new areas opening to irrigation, the cultivation of fruit and fruitless trees is changing the steppe appearance of the plain each passing day.

Commercial organisations, institutions, associations, chambers and co-operatives that have helped in shaping commercial life are working in an organised way to move Konya even further ahead. œš­Š’Š˜‹Ž¡œœ˜˜Ž¡ŒŽ The Konya Chamber of Commerce (KTO) was established in 1882 with an imperial edict and with the decision adopted by the assembly of the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce which is the first chamber established on 20 January 1880. Thus, the Konya Chamber of Commerce is the second oldest chamber in Turkey.

The KTO, with 75 professional committees and over 20,000 members, is Turkey’s 6th largest chamber. The Chamber is among the largest and most active professional organisations in Turkey. By organising domestic and international trade fairs, the KTO has been instrumental in opening business abroad as well as increasing the volume of business of its members. The Chamber, with its in-house KOSGEB focus on synergy, provides information on KOSGEB related support to its members, while another in-house organisation, the European Turkish Business Centres Network (ABIGEM), provides training and information for its members. œš­Š’Š˜‹Ž¡œ š¦£¤¢® The Konya Chamber of Commerce and Industry was established in 1926 as a result of work aimed at reviving industrial and commercial activities and to spread conscious and systematic developments nationwide. Until 1976 the Chamber provided services to both the commerce and industry sectors. However, based on the developments in the manufacturing and supply industry, it became necessary that the chamber of industry be an independent organisation from the chamber of commerce and, as a result, the Konya Chamber of Commerce (KSO) commenced its activities on 25 April 1974. The KSO’s founding was realised by 165 members that were under 8 occupational groups and this figure has increased exponentially with each passing day. Today, 1,373 industrial organisations from 25 occupational groups benefit from the activities of the Chamber.

With basic principles such as complete and timely service, continuous improvement, building and developing the technological infrastructure, employee training and as an exemplary organization, the KSO continues on its path with the determination to carry the industry of Konya to future and better horizons.

The KSO conducts the tasks of protecting professional ethics and solidarity; ensure the development of the general interests of industry and to make proposals and recommendations to ministries on occupational activities.

Its date of founding makes it one of the oldest exchanges. The Konya Commodity Exchange (KTB) was established in 1912 but was closed in 1914 due to the outbreak of the First World War. The re-establishment of the Exchange had to wait for the Republic years and 10 years later on 24 October 1924, the Exchange opened for the second time with decree No. 1041. Thus, the first exchange in Anatolia was established and pioneered the founding of other exchanges. The KTB became the 5th exchange to be founded nationwide.

The KTB is required to fulfil the duties set out in Law No. 5174, conducting sales of auction rooms, weighing machines, laboratories and has the capacity to undertake the sale of salesroom services and all the necessary services as a broker. The Exchange provides services in 3 buildings each with an area of 50 m2, a weighhouse of 64m2 and an articulated lorry weighbridge. In addition, the KTB has a 300 m2 closed and 200 m2 open, 5 horizontal silos with a capacity of 10,000 tonnes. Within the Wheat Market there are 284 warehouses belonging to its members with a 400,000 tonnes storage capacity of which 300,000 tonnes are closed and 100,000 tonnes are open warehouses.

The KTB has Turkey’s first and only electronic salesroom. This salesroom opened on 8 May 2011 to provide services in which 142 members can be included in a sale at the same time. All members can provide manual price bids to any product until the end of the session or a price in the form of an automatic bid or a one price bid. In this way, the individual member can provide a more comfortable bid. The KCE has completed the infrastructure of spot bidding and is ready to conduct futures trading.

¡ŠŽ’Š˜‹Ž¡£Šš££œŒ“Š¤“œš£ In the 13th century when Anatolia was under the domination of the Turks, the emergence of the institution of Ahi in Konya shaped social and economic life and is a distinct characteristic of our city. Unique in the world, the Ahi system, from the Seljuk period to the Ottoman period to present day, has an enormous contribution to social order in terms of social, cultural and economic life. The organisation of Ahi or Akhism has set an example to non-governmental organisations of the 21st century.

Based on this tradition, trade and non-governmental organisations in our Province continue their work to take Konya further on its path.

Among the leading sub-sectors that are the basic inputs of construction are the cement, ready-mix concrete, iron, steel, ceramics, paint, insulation materials, brick and glass industries. The construction industry, because it is labour-intensive, always provides the highest employment after agriculture. In particular, in terms of unskilled labour, the construction industry is a large source of employment. Quality is one of the fundamental elements of the construction industry. There are 1 cement factory, 26 crushed stone plants, 2 heat insulation board manufacturers, 7 brick factories, 1 membrane waterproofing manufacturer, 4 manufacturers of construction chemicals, 6 metal chimney manufacturers that possess the CE certificate together with many small-scale building materials manufacturers in the Province of Konya. There are also 44 concrete plants and 3 paint manufacturers with a G certificate.

Unlike previously, the expanding construction sector and construction technologies leads to more rapid changes in housing. 32 4.   The number of establishments engaged in wholesale and retail trade in Konya rose from 7,770 in 2011 to 8,450 in 2012, an 8.75% increase. The number of insured increased 10.37% from 30,576 establishment in 2011 to 33,748 in 2012. The KTO, collaborating with the Economic Policy Research Foundation of Turkey (TEPAV), published the Konya Retail Confidence Index (KOPE) as the first indicator that measures the trends in the retail sector at the local level in Turkey. Within the coverage of the Konya Retail Confidence Index Survey, face-to-face surveys are carried out each month with 300 large retail stores in the food, beverage and tobacco products, textiles, clothing, footwear, household electrical appliances, radio and television, furniture, lighting equipment, household-use products, motor vehicles and other large retail outlets that sell more than one type of product in the central counties of Karatay, Meram and Selçuklu. With KOPE the retail industry in Konya is compared with Turkey and the European Union member states. The Konya Retail Confidence Index continued to rise in the fourth month of 2013. While KOPE had a value of 5.9 in April, the Turkey Retail Confidence Index (TEPE), which represents Turkey as a whole, reached a value of 9.2. While KOPE dropped 2 points compared to last year it increased by 1 point compared to March. Retailing in Konya reached its highest value in the last one year in April 2013 which was below Turkey in general but showed a better performance compared to the EU-27 members.

Furthermore, Ittifak Holding’s retail industry representative Adese also provides its services as one of the important retail brands. As of the end of 2012, with 141 markets and over 3,000 employees with locations in Istanbul, Kocaeli, Sakarya, Bolu, Ankara, Konya, Aksaray, Karaman and Mersin, Adese has become a giant supermarket chain with over 30 million customers. In Konya, Adese has 2 large supermarkets, 2 logistics centres, 39 Adese markets and 72 Adesem food markets.

That only 42% of the retail sector in Turkey is organised reveals the growth potential of the sector. Besides economic growth, the potential for growth in the retail sector also rests on social and demographic factors such as the population growth rate, the young population and urbanisation. The expansion and growth of our country makes the retail sector an attractive area of investment. The organised food retail industry in Turkey grew over 10% in 2012.

36 Part of the reason why Konya has low foreign trade figures is that some exports and imports in Konya are carried out through such cities as Istanbul and Mersin, and that some exporting firms in Konya have their headquarters outside the city.

This results from the fact that the number of service organizations engaged in foreign trade in the city is inadequate.

As is the case for the export in Konya, import is mainly based on manufacturing industry products, agricultural and forestry products ƒ†‹‹‰ƒ†“—ƒ””›‹‰’”‘†— –•‹‘”†‡”‘ˆ‹’‘”–ƒ ‡Ǥ‹‹Žƒ”–‘‡š’‘”–”ƒ‹‰ǡ–Š‡‘—ˆƒ –‘”‹‰G†—•–”›–ƒ‡•–Š‡͕•–’Žƒ ‡ ‹’‘”–”ƒ‹‰‘ˆ‘›ƒǢŠ‹Ž‡ƒ‰”‹ —Ž–—”ƒŽƒ†ˆ‘”‡•–”›’”‘†— –•”ƒ‡†͖†ƒ†‹Ç‰ƒ†‰—ƒ””›‹‰’”‘†— –•”ƒ‡†͗”†Ǥ

A review of the list of diversity performance suggests that the 76 cities, whose index values had been taken into evaluation, competitively produced and exported 40 products on average.

This national average indicates that Konya has the opportunity to produce and export more than one product in a competitive way. On the other hand, Konya ranked 26th in ordinariness. Ordinariness depends on how many cities produce a particular product. Those products included in the export range of many cities are considered ordinary. According to the standards for performance, a high level of ordinariness indicates that the products competitively produced and exported by a city are ordinary. Therefore, Konya can be said to be a low level of ordinariness. The city has a decent export performance, seeing that it has a high level of diversity but a low level of ordinariness.

As for the sophistication, the city ranked eighth of 81 cities, which means that Konya exports products that are mainly exported by developed countries and that Konya has a good chance of competing in the international market with these products. The export target of the city is projected to be $15 billion in 2023.

Konya is preparing an implementation project to build a high-speed train station in place of the old wheat market. The implementation project’s contract price is 348,000 TL. Project cost will be known after the implementation project. Work is nearing an end and expropriation activities continue.

Furthermore, the Turkish State Railways (TCDD) is planning to declare the TCDD lands in Konya Station as “TCDD Private Project Area” within the framework of urban transformation projects. They are also planning to take all activities other than passenger transportation out of the station and to move cargo operations to the Kayacik Logistics Center. Due to the growing potential in cargo loading and unloading services at Konya Train Station, this service was transferred to Horozlu Han and later within the coverage of the project by our Organisation to carry the cargo stations from the city centre to outside the city and with the aim of providing a ‘”‡‘†‡” ƒ”‰‘–”ƒ•’‘”–•‡”˜‹ ‡•–‘ —•–‘‡”•ǡ™‘” ‘–‹—‡•‘‡•–ƒ„Ž‹•Š‹‰ƒŽ‘‰‹•–‹ • ‡–”‡ƒ–ƒ›ƒ Ǎ‹‘›ƒǤ

If the Konya-Ankara high-speed line is enlarged to cover the Istanbul-Konya-Antalya line, a significant amount of vivacity is expected in congress tourism, culture tourism, health tourism and thermal tourism in both the city center and districts. The city requires those facilities that will enable its natural and cultural resources to be utilized in tourism and alternative tourism.

Although the number of rooms and beds included in the facilities centered round the city center is increasing each year, they are not able to meet the demand. The city needs new facilities both in the city center and districts.

The UNESCO included the 800th birthday of Rumi into 2007 activities, which presented an important opportunity for Konya to be introduced to the world.

In addition to the Mevlana Museum, Konya also hosts a number of mosques, madrasas, complexes and churches.

Karatay Madrasa which has an important place among the tile works of Seljukian period was opened as “the Museum of Tile Works” in 1955.

It was built as a one-roomed and single- storey “madrasa with closed courtyard” to teach the science of hadith and tafsir. The entrance is through a door made of blue and white marble in the east. It is a unique sample of stonemasonry in Seljukian period. On the door, the 120th verse of the Chapter Al-Tawba from the Quran that means “God never fails to recompense those who work righteousness” is inscribed. On the other surfaces of the door, there are other verses and hadiths.

The doomed cell on the north of the single room completed after the recovery excavations and restorative works in 2006 was organized as a hall of glass and plaster works. In this section, the ceramic works of the Ottoman and Seljukian period are exhibited, as well. 64 Š’“¤Š œ¦šŠ¤“œš¦£Ž¦˜

This magnificent work, also known as Larende Mosque, was built by the Seljukian Vizier Sahib Ata Fahreddin Ali in 1258. The portal of the mosque which is the masterpiece of Seljukian art and one of the rare examples of stonemasonry is captivating visitors with its splendour.

This gate is famous for its spouted fountains rarely seen in Turkey. The constructor of the mosque, bath and tomb which were built later was Sahib Ata Fahreddin Ali.

Nasreddin Hodja’s value can be measured through not his experiences but the subtlety of the meaning, satire and humour of folk tales that he told or people told through his eyes.

In his humorous stories, rude devout men’s beliefs about life after death have an important place. Such tales as “Mules Carrying Pots” and “I Used to Pass by Here When I was Alive” reveals ideas about rigid beliefs. The story called “Eat, MY Coat, Eat” underlines people’s reaction to what society pays importance through the eyes of Nasreddin Hodja.

8.6. Œœဖ¦¡“£˜ Lake Meke, which is acknowledged as the “Amulet of the World”, and Lake Beysehir, the largest freshwater lake in Turkey, are significant properties for nature tourism. Lake Meke, a crater lake assumed to have been formed following a volcanic eruption about five million years ago, is located in Karapinar. Resembling to an amulet in summer and winter, the lake is attractive to not only nature- lovers but also shutterbugs.

The lake is home to many bird species. However, it faces extinction, like other wetlands, owing to global warming. Lake Beysehir, on the other hand, is visited by tourists as part of sunset tours. The lake is worth visiting especially in summer, when the lake is surrounded by a forestland and Anamas Mountains.

With a number of natural beauties at high altitudes, Konya is quite favorable for plateau tourism and attempts to serve those who love keeping in touch with nature and to provide them with daily or short-term accommodation. Potential investors are provided with significant opportunities, in particular, by Cihanbeyli Plateau, Obruk Plateau and Taseli Plateau as well as those parts of Mount Bolkar and Mount Geyik that overlook the Konya closed basin, and those plateaus situated above Mount Sultan and Mount Gol.

The region as large as 7.414 km2 has its unique natural structure and historical values. Salt Lake Specially Protected Environment Area is within the boundaries of Ankara, Konya and Aksaray.

The Salt Lake Basin is an A class watery area according to international criteria in terms of the protection of biological variation. Salt Lake is one of the richest areas in Turkey in terms of the existence of birds. In the area, there are 85 types of birds, 129 types of insects with 4 of them being endemic, 15 types of mammals and 38 types of endemic plants. The Lake has been registered as a Grade One Natural Site Area.

Salt is produced through the technique of evaporation in Salt Lake and this method is based on the crystallization of lake water under sun. In the production of salt through solar energy, retting system is used. In Salt Lake, there are three salt marshes (Pavement, Rock ƒ†ƒ˜çƒȌǤ

The lake and the first crater is 800 m deep and 500 m wide. The lake is 12 m deep. Lake Meke is 981 m above sea level. The lake in the volcanic cone 50 m above sea level in the middle of the Central Meke is 25 m deep and salty.

With its panoramic view, geological structure and birds that live in the region, it is a marvel of nature. Meke Crater Lake that shelters a large variety of birds draws the attention of nature and photograph lovers with its image like a blue nead during summer and winter months. Lake Meke was included in the list of Ramsar Contract in 2005.

It is prepared with the special parts of mutton or lamb in two stages in an oven. While the kebab can be made from every part of the animal except the back buttocks, the ribs and forearms are the most preferred parts.

Konya’s famous dish “Oven Kebab” is made of mutton or lamb meat. When made with lamb meat, no water is added. Lamb meat is cooked for 3-4 hours, male mutton is cooked for 4 hours and female mutton is cooked for 7-8 hours. With the meat of one sheep, 10-15 kg of kebab can be made.

Because pilaf and starters are sour in Konya, they are given after desserts and then the second group is eaten. ¡Š‹ŠĆÚœ¦ This soup is eaten with not meat but pastry.

According to 2011 data from TUIK, with the start of 12-year compulsory education in Konya which was the 5th city in terms of the number of schools and students in Vocational and Technical and with more importance attached to cocational and technical education by the Ministry of Education, there will be a considerable increase in the number of students and more investment in education will be needed to meet the requirements of this increase.

Therefore, 3 technical and industrial vocational high schools of 40 classrooms, three vocational and technical high schools for girls and three trade vocational high schools are needed in the city centre.

In the new incentive system, investments in primary areas will be used in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th regions. In Konya, because “investments in primary, secondary and high school education by private sector” will be made in the primary areas, incentives will be used in the 5th regions.

The city has increasingly become a more important centre of health. Because the city is an industrial centre and there is an increase in the regional demand for service sector, the city has attained a regional structure in terms of health service.

The statistical data about preventive medicine and basic health service that indicate the rate of improvement in health is above the average in Turkey.

Laboratory support has been provided for primary care service.

Prior to the Project of Transition in Health, children were vaccinated against 7 types of illnesses while they are vaccinated against 12 types of illnesses today. All of these vaccinations are charge-free. These vaccinations have the standards of developed countries.

Intensive demand in health sector in recent years has prompted private sector. Health institutions that provide service all around Turkey have turned towards Konya. Thus, ultramodern hospitals have started to serve in Konya. The increases in the number of qualified beds and the application of modern medicine in world standards have increased the quality of service.

While the number of qualified beds has increased in both state and private hospitals in Konya within the balance of supply-demand, the level targeted has not been reached yet. Because Konya provides service for other cities in the region and there is a big demand for treatment, a larger number of qualified beds and hospitals are needed. In these hospitals, there are also a centre of burn treatments, centre of hyperbaric oxygen, units of new-borns and units of intensive treatment. Also, there is demand for physical treatment and rehabilitation in places where there are geothermal water sources. The current Organ Transplantation Centre needs to be strengthened. With new investments in all these areas, Konya will be an important health centre not only in the region but also all around Turkey. Thus, it can also reach better levels in health tourism.

There are nearly 1.500 pieces of available Treasury Properties in Konya that are larger than 300 da in size. However, nearly one- third (456 parcels) of them that meet transportation, quality and land requirements have been selected after those with the status of forest or those included in land consolidation areas have been excluded. These parcels have been studied on the spot by the Evaluation Commissions set up by the District Governorships. Each parcel has been recorded after the following relevant information about them has been determined:

The Evaluation Commission has also determined the parcels with a high potential for usability for industrial, service or agricultural investment. These parcels have been visited for the second time, this time by the faculty members of Selcuk University, to confirm what the Evaluation Commission has identified. The Landed Property Information Forms, which include such information about each parcel, have been duplicated so that each of the following directorates has one copy of these forms: the Provincial Directorate of Science, Industry and Technology in Konya, the Provincial Directorate of Food, Agriculture and Livestock in Konya, the Provincial Directorate of Environment and Urban Planning in Konya, and the Provincial Directorate of Planning in Konya.

The corner coordinates and land registry information about the 456 parcels have been uploaded to the ArcGIS 9.3 Geographical Information System so that they can be pursued on the map of Konya. Similarly, the coordinates of the Organized Industrial Zones in Konya have been uploaded to the ArcGIS 9.9. Thanks to this, the Provincial Directorate of Science, Industry and Technology in Konya, the Provincial Directorate of Food, Agriculture and Livestock in Konya, the Provincial Directorate of Environment and Urban Planning in Konya, and the Provincial Directorate of Planning in Konya possess relevant ArcGIS 9.3 files.

Potential investors planning to invest in Konya can obtain such information about the 456 parcels and the ArcGIS 9.3 files from the Provincial Directorate of Science, Industry and Technology in Konya, the Provincial Directorate of Food, Agriculture and Livestock in Konya, the Provincial Directorate of Environment and Urban Planning in Konya, and the Provincial Directorate of Planning in Konya. ir.
