International Journal of Development and Sustainability ISSN: 2186-8662 – www.isdsnet.com/ijds Volume 6 Number 12 (2017): Pages 1931-1945 ISDS Article ID: IJDS17092105 Urban sustainability and traditional neighborhoods, a case study: Bursa, Turkey Arzu Ispalar Çahantimur *, Rengin Beceren Öztürk, Gözde Kırlı Özer Uludag University, Faculty of Architecture, Department of Architecture, Bursa, Turkey Abstract The objective of the present study was to focus on the urban sustainability potential and traditional residential areas of historical cities based on the compact city concept. The study includes four sections. In the introduction, the important role that the cities play in sustainability was discussed with an emphasis on the significance of traditional housing areas in urban sustainability. In the second section, whether the compact city form is suitable for historic urban quarters was investigated with an empirical study conducted in Bursa, Turkey. In the study, home and home environment were considered as a transactional whole, which defines and defined by a set of cultural, social, and psychological factors, hence, a transactional theoretical approach was adopted. The study utilized observation and ethnological research methods in conjunction with surveys conducted with the residents of historic quarters in Bursa, which is one of the most historical cities in Turkey, a developing nation. The case study findings and policy recommendations on sustainable urban development in historic cities were addressed in the final section of the present study.

International Seminar for UNESCO Integral Study of the Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue: “The Influence of the Silk Roads on Turkish Culture and Art”
International Seminar for UNESCO Integral Study of the Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue: “The influence of the Silk Roads on Turkish Culture and Art”. 30, October, 1990. Izmir, Turkey. Role and Importance of Izmir on the Silk Trade XVIIth and XVIIIth Centuries Necmi ÜLKER Prof. Dr. Necmi ULKER Ege University, Izmir-TURKEY As has been known for many centuries, the silk trade either originates from Central Asia or Middle East goes back a long way. From China in a western direction, state dignitaries working for existing states and economically well-off people seemed to be in great need of silk and silk manufacturers over the centuries in the ancient and Middle Ages. One· can easily assume that silk manufacturers were used in large quantities especially in the palaces of the Sasanids, Arab states, Byzantines, Selcuqids, Ottomans as well as European states. This paper aims to show that in the trade of silk, Izmir as an international commercial center and a busy port has played an important role. The revival of Izmir as a significant trading center goes back to as early as 1620s. Supporting this fact, French historian Paul Masson states the arrival of Iranian silk in Izmir in 16211. As a matter of fact in the XVIIth century Iran was the main source of silk production and exporting country in the Middle East. Towards the end of the Ottoman-Iran war of 1615-18, Izmir had already become an important rival of Aleppo which was the center of English merchants in that century for silk originating from Iran.2 It can be said that, due to this war, the silk routes from Iran silk producing areas to Aleppo were continuously disrupted by the armed forces of the belligerent states. -

Uproar After 1MDB Vanishes from 11MP Malaysiakini.Com May 21, 2015 by Kow Gah Chie & Zikri Kamarulzaman Five Years Ago Pr
Uproar after 1MDB vanishes from 11MP MalaysiaKini.com May 21, 2015 By Kow Gah Chie & Zikri Kamarulzaman Five years ago Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak mentioned in the Tenth Malaysia Plan that the Kuala Lumpur International Financial District (now known as Tun Razak Exchange) and Bandar Malaysia are strategic developments that will drive the nation's transformation agenda. Fast forward to today, Najib's debt-ridden controversial brainchild, the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), is conspicuously absent from the Eleventh Malaysia Plan. "We were all waiting to hear the national blueprint to solve the 1MDB issue... it was mentioned in 10MP and it completely disappeared from 11MP. But the problem is still here," Kelana Jaya MP Wong Chen (photo) chided. "After five years of 1MDB, what you have now is a big scandal, so I would imagine the prime minister would not try to avoid the issue, instead take the bull by its horns and say what is to be done about 1MDB," he added. Avoid another 1MDB scandal Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali said not addressing this issue would have a negative effect on investor confidence. "Recent incidents like 1MDB and Tabung Haji were not touched at all (in terms) of steps the government will take (to solve it). "This will cause investor confidence, locally and abroad, to erode (and make it difficult) to expand our economy," Azmin (photo), who is Gombak MP, told reporters at the Parliament lobby. Meanwhile, Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin hoped the government would improve on its execution of the 11MP, to avoid another 1MDB scandal. -

Record of Myxomycetes on Monumental Trees in Bursa City Center – Turkey. Eur J Biol 2019; 78(1): 40-50. ABSTRACT Objective: Urbanization has been reported to affect the biodiversity of myxomycetes. There is no data in the Bursa city on the diversity of myxomycete in the urban area. Therefore, we aim to determine the presence of corticolous myxomycetes on monumental trees that are located in the most populated province of Bursa city (Osmangazi and Yıldırım). Materials and Methods: In August and October 2018, 100 barks of monumental trees located in the Osmangazi and Yıldırım) county of Bursa was collected. Moist chamber culture technique was used for the isolation and identification of the species. Results: 16 species within 9 genera were identified. The species identified are listed, and six new species Didymium bahiense (Gottsberger), Didymium difforme (Pers.) S. F. Gray), Macbrideola martinii (Alexop. & Beneke), Macbrideola oblonga (Pando, Lado), Physarum gyrosum (Rost.), Physarum notabile (Macbr.) were recorded for Bursa city. Conclusion: This is the first report of corticolous myxomycetes on monumental trees in Bursa city center. It also added data and 6 new records of myxomycetes on the myxomycete biodiversity of Bursa.
