  • Public Restrictions on Transfer of Agricultural Lands in Turkey

    Public Restrictions on Transfer of Agricultural Lands in Turkey

    Public restrictions on transfer of agricultural lands in Turkey Okan YILDIZ and Yakup Emre CORUHLU, Turkey Key words: agricultural land, public restriction, heritage, land division SUMMARY Heritage policies accepting the concept of equal sharing was implemented in Turkey for many years. This policies has led to the fragmentation of agricultural land over time and led to higher costs and decrease productivity in agricultural enterprises. Therefore, Soil Protection and Land Use Law entered into force in order to prevent fragmentation of agricultural lands. According to the law; division, sale and transfer of the agricultural lands are restricted brought various conditions. These conditions affecting ownership rights are considered as "public restriction". The restrictions arising from the law are not directly represented on the land registry. Because of this feature, it can also be called as “hidden restrictions”. As a consequence of the increasing importance of agricultural land in the world over the next century, the restrictions on the acquisition and use of the ownership rights in agricultural lands are inevitable. In Turkey, the transfering of ownership in agricultural lands is restricted within the framework of these policies. The general framework of these policies is as follows: Minimum parcel sizes are defined. The concept of economic integrity assessment has been introduced for agricultural lands in fragmented structures. Thus, the agricultural lands that forms the economic integrity has been tried to be preserved as a whole. With another innovation, transfering of agricultural lands via inheritance has been turned into an inheritance obligation. In this respect, the competent heirs are given priority. However, all these restrictions can obtain in social consequences.

    Ties to Technoparks and University Characteristics in Turkey

    Volume 8, Number 1, 2021, 97{117 journal homepage: region.ersa.org DOI: 10.18335/region.v8i1.300 ISSN: 2409-5370 Linking the Performance of Entrepreneurial Universities to Technoparks and University Characteristics in Turkey Tuzin Baycan1, Gokcen Arkali Olcay2 1 Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey 2 Gebze Technical University, Gebze, Turkey Received: 10 January 2020/Accepted: 2 December 2020 Abstract. Universities' third mission of knowledge commercialization imposes them a core role towards becoming entrepreneurial universities in the triple helix interacting with the government and industry. Entrepreneurial universities have crucial functions of providing entrepreneurial support infrastructure for innovation and engaging in the regional economy. Technoparks, in that sense, form an essential channel for universities to disseminate and commercialize the knowledge considering their geographical proximity and facilitating mechanisms. Measuring the performances of entrepreneurial universities and technoparks in quantitative metrics have been initiated by different government agencies in Turkey, which resulted in two different indices. The Most Entrepreneurial and Innovative University Index and the Performance Index for Technoparks track performances annually. Using the data provided by the two indices, this study explores how the technoparks' performance can be linked to the universities' scores in entrepreneurship and innovation, along with some university-specific characteristics and their interactions. The geographical proximity provided by the technoparks contributes to the performance of entrepreneurial universities. While the increasing university size has a negative effect on university entrepreneurial scores, the socio-economic development factor of the region positively contributes to the scores. Young universities are also found to benefit more from the large share of the graduate students of their student composition on university entrepreneurship and innovation scores.

    Making and Maintaining Metropolises

    MAKING AND MAINTAINING METROPOLISES: ENTREPRENEURIAL MUNICIPALISM IN TURKEY by Sude Bahar Beltan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Sude Bahar Beltan 2018 Making and Maintaining Metropolises: Entrepreneurial Municipalism in Turkey Sude Bahar Beltan Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation explores the implications of the public administration and local governance reforms that took place in Turkey in the mid-2000s with a comparative focus on three major metropolitan cities: İstanbul, İzmir, and Diyarbakır. Engaging with the literatures on state rescaling and urban entrepreneurialism, the author analyzes how reforms transformed municipalities into entrepreneurial organizations primarily concerned with territorial competitiveness of their jurisdictions while the central state repositioned itself as a critical actor in urban policy-making. The dissertation research is guided by three critical aspects of urban governance in Turkey: the changing dynamics of intergovernmental relations (national/local and metropolitan/district), the institutional transformation of municipalities (New Public Management restructuring), and emergent urban policies (city branding initiatives, urban transformation projects, and social services). The author argues that variations across three cities indicate how intergovernmental relations imbued with party politics and the local political context are critical in conditioning the scope and content of entrepreneurial action. The author proposes that studies of neoliberal urbanism, which analytically prioritize the political economy perspective, should put cities back into their national context to capture the political and institutional embeddedness of contemporary neoliberal urban governance. ii Acknowledgments It takes a great deal of hard work, patience, and perseverance to complete a Ph.D.

A literature survey dealing with the topic was made, the studies carried out were analysed, and the current situation was compared with the results of these studies. In conclusion, the courses of “sustainable architecture” content in the course syllabuses have increased, but this improvement has been quite incomplete. © 2013 TheThe Authors. Authors.

Introduction The way of our and future generations’ sustaining life conditions in the natural balance of nature or at least protecting the present day situation passes through increasing our environmental sensitivity. The building sector, which consumes a significant part of the world’s existing sources, should also be a pioneer to other disciplines. The architect who designs the artificial sites we will live in the future should consider building as a part of the natural environment not as a single component.

The overall incidence rates (NI/100) and incidence densities (NI/1000 days of stay) of NIs were 1.4% (range 0.8-2.5/100) and 1.7/1000 patients-days (range 0.7-2.5/1000), respectively. NIs were seen frequently in intensive care unit (20.1 episodes per 1000 bed-days), burn unit (14.5 episodes per 1000 bed-days), and neurology (3.7 episodes per 1000 bed-days). The most common NIs according to the primary 1 Department of Clinical Microbiology sites were urinary tract infection (24%), bloodstream infection (22%), pneumonia (13%) and surgical site and Infectious Diseases, infection (13%).

    Anatomy of a Civil War

    Revised Pages Anatomy of a Civil War Anatomy of a Civil War demonstrates the destructive nature of war, rang- ing from the physical destruction to a range of psychosocial problems to the detrimental effects on the environment. Despite such horrific aspects of war, evidence suggests that civil war is likely to generate multilayered outcomes. To examine the transformative aspects of civil war, Mehmet Gurses draws on an original survey conducted in Turkey, where a Kurdish armed group, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), has been waging an intermittent insurgency for Kurdish self- rule since 1984. Findings from a probability sample of 2,100 individuals randomly selected from three major Kurdish- populated provinces in the eastern part of Turkey, coupled with insights from face-to- face in- depth inter- views with dozens of individuals affected by violence, provide evidence for the multifaceted nature of exposure to violence during civil war. Just as the destructive nature of war manifests itself in various forms and shapes, wartime experiences can engender positive attitudes toward women, create a culture of political activism, and develop secular values at the individual level. Nonetheless, changes in gender relations and the rise of a secular political culture appear to be primarily shaped by wartime experiences interacting with insurgent ideology. Mehmet Gurses is Associate Professor of Political Science at Florida Atlantic University.
