  • On the Political Sociology of the Imperial Greek City Arjan Zuiderhoek
    On the Political Sociology of the Imperial Greek City Arjan Zuiderhoek But above all things, we must remind them that being a pol- itician consists not only in holding office, being ambassador, vociferating in the assembly and ranting round the speakers’ platform proposing laws and motions. Most people think all that is part of being a politician, just as they think of course that those are philosophers who sit in a chair and converse and prepare their lectures over their books. HUS WROTE PLUTARCH in his essay Whether an old man should engage in public affairs.1 It seems an offhand remark, T but all the more interesting for that. For here we have a comment on contemporary Greek civic politics, written prob- ably sometime in the first two decades of the second century, in which the activities of the Greek politicians of the day are described in terms (“vociferating in the assembly,” “ranting around the speaker’s platform”) at least to some extent rem- iniscent of the political world of democratic Athens centuries earlier. It is a description that does not quite seem to fit the common scholarly depiction of the later Hellenistic and Roman Greek cities as strongly oligarchic societies, dominated socially and politically by small coteries of (often interrelated) elite families whose governing institution of choice was the boule, the city council.2 This, then, prompts the question: which of these two contrasting images is nearer the truth? Should we dismiss Plutarch’s remarks as merely another manifestation of 1 Mor. 796C–D (transl. Fowler, modified). 2 See most recently M.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this study was to carry out the economic analysis of sheep farming in Isparta province, Turkey. The primary material of the study was comprised of original data acquired via survey method from a total of 80 farms determined by way of stratified sampling method. Accordingly, the farms were classified according to their size as 1st group (1-100 sheep, 23 farms), 2nd group (101-200 sheep, 22 farms) and 3rd group (>200 sheep, 35 farms). It was determined based on the study results that the production costs per animal unit (AU) decreases and net profit increases with increasing farm size. Indeed, production costs per animal unit in 1st, 2nd and 3rd group farms were determined as 5 424.13 TL, 4 221.83TL and 3 450.79 TL respectively, whereas net profits were determined as 2 467.26 TL, 2 761.26 TL and 3 314.77 TL.

Abstract The greenhouse is an agricultural structure which provides the necessary growth factors for plant production and enables the mechanization of the crops. Greenhouse cultivation is one of the most important income generating branches of agriculture. Nowadays, computer software’s are used for anything as it is being used for planning greenhouses, more robust construction and economical results are obtained this way. Business owners, investing their money in greenhouses, are copying the structural features of existing greenhouses with all wrong calculated parameters and errors. Leaving their valuable cash and future of their investment in the hands of an iron-smith. As a result, the greenhouses which are built without static and strength calculations, more materials are used, or insecure constructions are being applied. When an economic loss occurs depending on structural damage, it will unavoidably lead to economic losses for farmers and implicitly for the country. This study, emphasizes the structural Analysis of a one-span glass covered gable-roofed greenhouse, having an area of 720 m2 located in Antalya province.

John Ruskin (1819 - 1900) To MY FAMILY AND TU THE MEMORY OF J. B. WARD-PERKINS (1912 - 1981) i ABSTRACT This thesis deals primarily with the materials and techniques found in the Eastern Empire up to the 4th century AD, putting them into their proper historical and developmental context. The first chapter examines the development of architecture in general from the very earliest times until the beginnin .g of the Roman Empire, with particular attention to the architecture in Roman Italy. This provides the background for the study of East Roman architecture in detail. Chapter II is a short exposition of the basic engineering principles and terms upon which to base subsequent despriptions. The third chapter is concerned with the main materials in use in the Eastern Mediterranean - mudbrick, timber, stone, mortar and mortar rubble, concrete and fired brick. Each one is discussed with regard to manufacture/quarrying, general physical properties and building uses. Chapter IV deals with marble and granite in a similar way but the main marble types are described individually and distribution maps are provided for each in Appendix I. The marble trade and the use of marble in Late Antiquity are also examined. Chapter V is concerned with the different methods pf wall construction and with the associated materials.

  • Greek-Anatolian Language Contact and the Settlement of Pamphylia
    CHRISTINA SKELTON Greek-Anatolian Language Contact and the Settlement of Pamphylia The Ancient Greek dialect of Pamphylia shows extensive influence from the nearby Anatolian languages. Evidence from the linguistics of Greek and Anatolian, sociolinguistics, and the histor- ical and archaeological record suggest that this influence is due to Anatolian speakers learning Greek as a second language as adults in such large numbers that aspects of their L2 Greek became fixed as a part of the main Pamphylian dialect. For this linguistic development to occur and persist, Pamphylia must initially have been settled by a small number of Greeks, and remained isolated from the broader Greek-speaking community while prevailing cultural atti- tudes favored a combined Greek-Anatolian culture. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND The Greek-speaking world of the Archaic and Classical periods (ca. ninth through third centuries BC) was covered by a patchwork of different dialects of Ancient Greek, some of them quite different from the Attic and Ionic familiar to Classicists. Even among these varied dialects, the dialect of Pamphylia, located on the southern coast of Asia Minor, stands out as something unusual. For example, consider the following section from the famous Pamphylian inscription from Sillyon: συ Διϝι̣ α̣ ̣ και hιιαροισι Μανεˉ[ς .]υαν̣ hελε ΣελυW[ι]ιυ̣ ς̣ ̣ [..? hι†ια[ρ]α ϝιλ̣ σιι̣ ọς ̣ υπαρ και ανιιας̣ οσα περ(̣ ι)ι[στα]τυ ̣ Wοικ[. .] The author would like to thank Sally Thomason, Craig Melchert, Leonard Neidorf and the anonymous reviewer for their valuable input, as well as Greg Nagy and everyone at the Center for Hellenic Studies for allowing me to use their library and for their wonderful hospitality during the early stages of pre- paring this manuscript.

The changes which have occured in the profile and tendency of the customers, force the tourism sector inevi- tably to improve the products according to the demand’s needs. In order to meet the needs and expectations of the customers and changed features of the demands, it is necessary to improve new tourism types in the different fields. Interesting tourism products and services are showed as the alternative of the mass tourism and reflect the whole tendencies which have improved to satisfy different and special interest beyond the interest which have improved around sea, sun and sand. So, improving interesting tourism products and services become very im- portant. One of the interesting tourism products and services (especially for the cultural tourism) is the tradi- tional Turkish Bath (Turkish Hamam) which have been to be transferred from the past to the present. The tradi- tional Turkish Bath (Hamam) is the variant of a steam bath, which can be categorized as a wet relative of the sauna. The Turkish Baths have played an important role in cultures of the Turkey, serving as places of social gathering, ritual cleansing, and as architectural structures, institutions, and (later) elements with special cus- toms attached to them.

  • Lifestyle Migration to Turkey
    LIFESTYLE MIGRATION TO TURKEY: EU CITIZENS LIVING ON THE TURKISH SUNBELT1 İlkay Südaş, PhD [email protected] EGE UNIVERSITY, FACULTY OF LETTERS, DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY, TURKEY Lifestyle migration terms the migration movement of relatively affluent individuals moving voluntarily to the places where they believe they can lead a better life. This is a form of migration that emerges related to rapid globalization and there is a strong nexus between lifestyle migration and tourism. Repeating previous tourist visits to the destinations are the main connection with the migration areas and purchasing second homes is a “stepping stone” (Casado-Diaz 2012) towards permanent or seasonal retirement migration. Friends and relatives already living in the destination are also influential in migration decision. O’Reilly and Benson (2009, 2) point out that the previous research has attempted to link the mobilities to wider phenomena using umbrella concepts such as retirement migration, leisure migration, international counter-urbanization, second home ownership, amenity seeking or seasonal migration. Combining these different conceptualizations, O’Reilly and Benson (2009) suggest the term “lifestyle migration” which is described as the migration movement of “relatively affluent individuals, moving, en masse, either part or full time, permanently or temporarily, to countries where the cost of living and/or the price of property is cheaper; places which, for various reasons, signify a better quality or pace of life. Lifestyle migrants are individuals with high mobility, permanently or seasonally relocating to the areas in pursuit of a better way of life. The seasonal or permanent migration of elderly northern Europeans towards the coastal areas of Southern European countries like Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and Greece has become an important phenomenon.

Kemer Kemer is a seaside resort and district of Antalya Province on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, 40 km (25 mil) west of the city of Antalya, on the Turkish Riviera. Kemer is on the Gulf of Antalya, 53 km (33 mi) of sea coast with the skirts of the western Taurus Mountains behind. The coast has the typical Mediterranean hot, dry weather and warm sea. Until the early 1980s this was a quiet rural district but today the town of Kemer and coastal villages in the district play a very important part in tourism in Turkey. Tourism in Kemer One of the major attractions of Kemer is its natural beauty; sea, mountains and pine forest combine in harmony. The shore from Beldibi to Tekirova consists of unspoilt beaches in bays of various sizes, mostly stony rather than sand. With easy transportation, good communication and other municipal services Kemer has a large proportion of the hotel bed capacity of the Antalya region, and is a comfortable and peaceful holiday coast with internationally accepted reputation, attracting large numbers of visitors from countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, and in recent years predominantly families from Russia.

  • Golfin Antalya
    Golf in Antalya Golf in Belek Belek, one of Antalya’s most popular holiday centres, has become not only a brand name in Turkey, but one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world thanks to its unsurpassed natural beauty and perfect climate. Located 30 kilometers from Antalya, Belek has a seventeen-kilometer coastline lined with numerous five star hotels. Since the early 1990s, Belek has offered its guests the most comfortable holiday opportunity in the Mediterranean. Among the features that make Belek such an attractive location in the region is its ease of access and the ancient cities situated nearby. The region hosted numerous civilisations throughout its thousands of years of history, and with its fertile lands has been a centre of attention in every period. Though Belek has a typical Mediterranean climate, the freshwater streams which flow from the slopes of the Taurus Mountains give it different characteristics than other Mediterranean locations. Thanks to its large sand dunes, its beaches are sheltered from the harsh effects of the sea and wind. With all these features in place, Belek offers a magnificent atmosphere, not only as a tourism centre, but as an area that contains all the distinctive Mediterranean characteristics. For many years now, Belek has been one of the foremost holiday destinations for sports tourism in our country. It owes its preeminent position in this regard to its climate, geographical location and undeniably to its committed implementation of sustainable tourism policies. Belek and its hotels are highly popular with sports clubs and cater to their needs across all sports year-round.
