Assessment of Social Vulnerability Using Geographic Information Systems: Pendik, Istanbul Case Study
Assessment of Social Vulnerability Using Geographic Information Systems: Pendik, Istanbul Case Study Zeynep Haki, Zuhal Akyürek, Şebnem Düzgün Middle East Technical University, Natural and Applied Sciences, Geodetic and Geographic Information Technologies 06531- Ankara, Turkey [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] SUMMARY This study aims to develop a methodology to define vulnerable groups in terms of their social conditions for any possible hazard, with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology, in the case study area of earthquake-prone Pendik, Istanbul. In the calculation of social vulnerability certain indicators were estimated and used as criterion data. Criterion standardization, weighting and combining were accomplished by means of multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) methods, the theoretical background being based on the multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT). In order to avoid the subjectivity of the assessment, 10 more evaluations are utilized. The results show that, the income- and educational-level indicators are the most important factors in defining the social vulnerability. These outputs are supported with some explorative spatial data analyses to understand global trends and spatial interactions in order to be used in pre- and post-disaster planning. Besides, to determine the physical effects of basic services and transportation, some GIS Analyses are applied. The objectivity of the assessment and the complicated structure of the study data are discussed for an effective disaster management. The main outcomes of the methodology and its applications show that, the southwest part of Pendik is socially vulnerable to any possible hazard. KEYWORDS: Social Vulnerability Assessment, Pre- and Post-Disaster Planning, Disaster Management, Spatial Data Analysis, GIS, Pendik-İstanbul INTRODUCTION Natural hazards are the reality of today’s world, which considerably affect people’s living conditions. -

Re-Reading Dynamics of the City of Istanbul Through Critical Mapping
Gazi University Journal of Science GU J Sci 29(2):403-412 (2016) Re-Reading Dynamics of The City of Istanbul Through Critical Mapping Demet MUTMAN1, 1 Maltepe University, Faculty of Architecture and Design, 34857 Maltepe Istanbul, Turkey Received: 18/04/2016 Revised:21/04/2016 Accepted: 26/04/2016 ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to re-read and define differentiating layers of the city of Istanbul through critical mappings as an interrogative socio-spatial research. Through this form of a new city read, information on daily urban and social practices, global impacts and urban and economic effects of consumption over space would be exposed among five different thematic constellations rooted from Guy Debord's The Society of the Spectacle. The author aims to clarify socio-spatial constellations over space, time and current trends by deconstructing the current city formation of Istanbul. Key words: Critical mapping, Istanbul, socio-spatial research 1.

The end of the Cold War and the dis- solution of the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s and the subsequent violence were decisive points in Turkish foreign policy. New openings toward southeast Europe and the creation of new states greatly transformed the foreign policy strategies of Turkey, which was aiming for far-reaching political impact. -

The Happiest City in Turkey: Letter from Eskişehir June 2-4, 2018
1 The Happiest City in Turkey: Letter from Eskişehir June 2-4, 2018 © Houchang E. Chehabi, 2018 2 A few years ago I attended a talk in which the Turkish city of Eskişehir featured prominently. The speaker showed us how the municipal authorities had restored buildings and rebuilt bridges, turning the city into a visually pleasant place, thereby making it an attractive place to live. And a few months ago I read an article which said that the people of Eskişehir are the happiest in Turkey. So when I learnt that the city is now connected to Istanbul by a bullet train, I decided to go and see for myself. Getting to the train terminal was a bit time-consuming but not difficult. For the time being the bullet train’s Istanbul terminal is located at Pendik, about 25 kilometers east of the city’s core. I took the tram from Sultanahmet to Sirkeci, thence the Marmaray train to Ayrılık Çeşmesi. Here I changed to the Metro, getting off at the Pendik station, where taxis were waiting to take passengers to the train station. Istanbul-Eskişheir ticket cost less than $ 10.00! The bullet train is Siemens-built, and there are plans to extend the network to all the major Turkish cities. The ride was pleasant. At times the speed was an unremarkable 60 km/h, but I have no complaints, since building tracks straight enough for very high velocities would have wreaked havoc on the very beautiful hilly landscape south-east of Istanbul. (Coming back from Eskişehir two days later, the train accelerated from stand-still to 250 km/h in a mere five minutes.) Figure 1: A YHT train at the Eskişehir station At the station in Eskişehir I hailed a taxi and told the driver to take me to the merkez, where I could find an otel.
