    Chapter 7 Health Reforms Process in Turkey

    CHAPTER 1 COUNTRY PROFILE Nazan YARDIM,MD,Public Health Specialist Serap ÇETİN ÇOBAN,MD,Public Health Specialist 1.1. GEOGRAPHY Turkey is a Eurasian country that stretches across the Anatolian peninsula in southwest Asia and the Balkan region of southeastern Europe. Turkey is situated between 36-42° northern latitudes and between 26-45° eastern longitudes. There is a 76-minutes time difference between its easternmost and westernmost tips. Its area is 814.578 square kilometers. Turkey borders the Black Sea in the north; Commonwealth of Independent States (Armenia, Georgia, Nahcevan), Iran in the east; Iraq, Syria and the Mediterranean Sea in the south; the Aegean Sea in the west; and Greece and Bulgaria in the northeast. Marmara Sea is located in the middle of Turkey’s northwest. Marmara Sea is connected to the Aegean Sea by the Dardanelles and to the Black sea with the Bosporus Strait. The Aegean Sea is an arm of the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Sea is connected to the Atlantic Ocean with the Gibraltar in the West. Thus, Turkey’s surrounding seas open to world oceans. The Straits carry importance for Turkey and Black sea countries. Moreover, the Bosphorus Strait and the two bridges on it (Bosphorus and Fatih Bridges) connect Asia and Europe on the land. In the south, Turkey is very close to North Africa countries. In short, Turkey is located between Europe-Asia and Africa continents. Land border of Turkey is 2.753 km. in total. Turkey has the longest land border with Syria (877 km.). Turkey also has land borders with Georgia (276 km.), Armenia (316 km.), Nahcevan (Azerbaijan) (18 km.), Iran (454 km.), Iraq (331 km.), Bulgaria (269 km.), and Greece (212 km).
  • A Case Study of Turkey

    A Case Study of Turkey

    Article Regional Variations of Land-Use Development and Land-Use/Cover Change Dynamics: A Case Study of Turkey Eda Ustaoglu * and Arif Cagdaş Aydınoglu Department of Geomatics Engineering, Gebze Technical University Gebze, Kocaeli-41400, Turkey; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected], tel. +90 532 694 8263 Received: 6 March 2019; Accepted: 5 April 2019; Published: 11 April 2019 Abstract. Population growth, economic development and rural-urban migration have caused rapid expansion of urban areas and metropolitan regions in Turkey. The structure of urban administration and planning has faced different socio-economic and political challenges, which have hindered the structured and planned development of cities and regions, resulting in an irregular and uneven development of these regions. We conducted detailed comparative analysis on spatio-temporal changes of the identified seven land-use/cover classes across different regions in Turkey with the use of Corine Land Cover (CLC) data of circa 1990, 2000, 2006 and 2012, integrated with Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. Here we compared spatio-temporal changes of urban and non-urban land uses, which differ across regions and across different hierarchical levels of urban areas. Our findings have shown that peri-urban areas are growing more than rural areas, and even growing more than urban areas in some regions. A deeper look at regions located in different geographical zones pointed to substantial development disparities across western and eastern regions of Turkey. We also employed multiple regression models to explain any possible drivers of land-use change, regarding both urban and non-urban land uses. The results reveal that the three influencing factors-socio-economic characteristics, regional characteristics and location, and development constraints, facilitate land-use change.

    An Analysis of the Incidence of Measles in Turkey Since 1960

The administration of measles vaccine started in the rural regions in 1970; it was carried out as a campaign along with the National Vaccine Campaign in 1985, and it has been employed as combined measles, mumps, and rubella under the scope of the Measles Elimination Program (MEP) since 2006 in Turkey. While a dramatic decrease in the reporting of measles was observed between 2000 and 2010, the number of the cases has increased since 2011. Materials and methods: The time series of measles incidence was evaluated for possible structural changes with regression models using dummy variables, autocorrelated with error terms. Results: The incidence of measles showed a statistically significant decline between 1985 and 1988 (P = 0.0072) and between 2005 and 2011 (P < 0.0001). However, a statistically significant increase in incidence was noted after 2013 (P = 0.0008). Conclusion: Over the last 54 years, the pattern of measles cases demonstrated a significant decline in incidence.
