The migration flows that Turkey experienced have changed throughout the phases of modern Turkey‟s history. In the Early Republican era from 1923 to 1950, as a part of the nation building process, Turkey saw mass emigration of its non-Muslim populations and the arrival of Muslims from the Balkans. In the period from 1950 to 1980, Turkey was mainly characterized as a country of emigration which attempted to recover its economy by sending thousands of migrants to Europe as a solution to unemployment and in order to receive remittances. The period after 1980‟s saw many developments in the migratory movements. One was the increase in the number of asylum seekers from Turkey, due to the military coup and the Kurdish question. Another development in the 1980s was the arrival of economic migrants into Turkey due to the socio- economic transformation in the region. Thus, standing at the crossroads of three continents, today, Turkey is a country of emigration, immigration and transit migration. At the same time, the prospect of European Union membership has been an important aspect of Turkey‟s historical modernization project and its political relations to the EU have been very influential in the formation of its migration policy making. Within this context and along the guidelines provided by the EUMAGINE project, this report first gives a historical and socio-economic overview of Republic of Turkey and provides an analysis of migration flows and policies in Turkey. Then, the four research areas of Turkey, namely Emirdağ and Dinar in Afyon; Van Merkez in Van and Fatih in Istanbul selected for EUMAGINE research are described. 3 Country Background An Overview Geography in General Geographically, Turkey, a mountainous Eurasian country with a strategic location, is situated in the Anatolian peninsula, located in Western Asia, Eastern Thrace and south-eastern Europe. It covers an area of approximately 780,580 square kilometres and is bordered by eight countries: Bulgaria to the northwest (240 km); Greece to the west (206 km); Georgia to the northeast (252 km); Armenia (268 km), Azerbaijan (9 km) and Iran to the east (499 km); and Iraq (352 km) and Syria to the southeast (822 km); making a total of 2,648 kilometers.1 Turkey borders the Black Sea (to the north), the Mediterranean (to the south), the Aegean (in the west) and the Marmara Sea (Turkish Straits in the northwest separating Europe and Asia) and has a total sea coastline of 8,333 kilometers. 1 These borders remain unchanged since 1938, but there have been significant changes in the control and management of these borders as a result of population movements and political developments. 4 Geographical Regions of Turkey Internally, Turkey is divided into seven geographical regions according to their climate, location, flora and fauna, human habitat, agricultural diversities, transportation, topography and etc.2 Four regions were named after the seas bordering them - the Aegean Region, the Black Sea Region, the Marmara Region and the Mediterranean Region. The three other regions were named in accordance with their location in the Anatolian peninsula - Central, Eastern and South Eastern Anatolia Regions. Based on their development levels, we can rank these regions from the most developed to the least, as the following: 1. Marmara is one of the two most industrial regions and it is where Istanbul-the largest city is located. Marmara Region, a major destination for internal migration, is the smallest in area surface and the most densely populated region. This region is also a hub for international transit and irregular migrants. 2. Aegean Region is one of the two most industrial regions and being the second on the list for high population density, it is also where Izmir- the third

    COĞRAFİ BİLİMLER DERGİSİ CBD 8 (1), 57-76 (2010) Afyonkarahisar İlinde Yükselti Basamaklarına Göre Arazi Kullanımı Land use for elevational zones in Afyonkarahisar province Barış Taş*, Mustafa Yakar Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi, Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi, Coğrafya Bölümü, Afyonkarahisar Öz: Arazi kullanımı, coğrafya araştırmalarında doğal ortam ile insan arasındaki ilişkilerin ortaya konması bakımından oldukça önemli bir yere sahiptir. Yükselti ile birlikte doğal ortamda meydana gelen değişimler, yeryüzünün en önemli kullanıcısı olan insanın gerçekleştirdiği faaliyetleri etkilemektedir. Afyonkarahisar ili, yükselti faktörü ile birlikte doğal şartlarının değişim gösterdiği ve buna bağlı olarak beşeri faaliyetlerin de farklılaştığı bir konumda bulunmaktadır. Her yükselti kuşağının sahip olduğu imkân ve potansiyelin bir diğerinden farklı olmasından ötürü, her basamakta insanın araziyi kullanım biçimleri de farklılaşmaktadır. Nüfus ve yerleşmelerin yoğunlaştığı 900-1300 metre kuşağı, Afyonkarahisar ilinde arazi kullanımının da yoğunlaştığı kuşak durumundadır. Yerleşim alanları, sanayi alanları ve tarım alanları, 900-1300 metre yükselti aralığında kümelenmiştir. 1300 metre yükseltiden itibaren doğal ortamda insan faaliyetlerini olumsuz yönde etkileyici değişimler yaşanmaktadır. Bu durum yerleşmeler ile birlikte tarım ve sanayi gibi kullanım tarzlarının azalmasına, orman ve otlak gibi kullanım biçimlerinin ön plana çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Özellikle 1400 metreden itibaren sık orman alanlarının yoğunlaşması, yağışın artması ile ilişkilidir. 1600

The study area was the Marmara Region, one of the most densely populated and ecologically diverse areas in Turkey. Using CORINE land cover data for 2006, 2012, and 2018, the study utilized multiple correspondence analyses and cluster analyses, to analyze land cover changes. The resulting maps, visualized in GIS, revealed the rapid urban transformation of the regional structure, formerly comprised of four distinct areas, into a more complex structure, in which densification and sprawl occur simultaneously. Our findings demonstrated a dissonance between the spatial dynamics of the Marmara Region during the study period, and the capacity and scope of the simultaneously initiated regional policies and mega-projects. This uncoordinated approach has endangered the region’s sustainable development. The paper, therefore, discusses the importance of land use planning and transboundary collaboration Citation: Genel, Ö.A.; Guan, C. for sustainable regional development. Beyond the local case, the results contribute to critical theories Assessing Urbanization Dynamics in in regional planning by linking theory and practice.

Yerleşmelerin yeryüzündeki dağılışına değişik bir açıdan bakılarak, yükselti basamaklarına göre yerleşmelerin nasıl bir dağılış gösterdiği, Afyonkarahisar ili ile örneklendirilmeye çalışılacaktır. Bu amaçla öncelikle yerleşmeler sınıflandırılmış ve her bir yerleşme tipinin yükselti ile birlikte geçirdiği değişim gözlenmiştir. Her bir yükselti basamağında yer alan yerleşme sayısı ve yerleşme tipi, yükselti basamağının doğal koşulları göz önünde bulundurularak değerlendirilmiştir. Yerleşmelerin bulundukları yükselti basamakları ile bağlı oldukları idari üniteler de göz önüne alınarak idari bütünlük sağlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Afyonkarahisar ilinde yerleşmelerin yükseltiye bağlı olarak geçirdikleri değişim incelendiğinde, büyük ölçüde fiziki coğrafya koşullarındaki değişimle benzerlikler göze çarpmaktadır.

  • Determination of Inorganic Elements in Poppy Straw by Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectrometry As a Means of Ascertaining Origin
    Determination of inorganic elements in poppy straw by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry as a means of ascertaining origin E. ÇOPUR Department of Chemistry, Gendarmarie General Command Criminal Laboratory, Ankara, Turkey 4 N. G. GÖGER, and T. ORBEY Department of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey B. SENER¸ Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey ABSTRACT Cultivation of poppy as a source of opium alkaloids for legitimate medical purposes has a long tradition in Turkey. The main products are poppy straw and concentrate of poppy straw, obtained from dried poppy capsules. The aims of the study reported in the present article were to establish inorganic element profiles for the poppy-growing provinces of Turkey by means of X-ray analysis by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM/EDS) and to explore the potential of the technique for determination of origin. Ten elements (sodium, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus, sulphur, chlorine, potassium, calcium, copper and zinc) were analysed in poppy straw samples from 67 towns in nine provinces. As regards the determination of origin, the most significant finding was the presence of copper and zinc in the poppy straw samples from 8 of the 15 towns in Afyon Province. Since those elements are not normally found in soil, it is assumed that their presence is the result of environmental (industrial) contamination. Differences in the samples from the other eight provinces were less signifi- cant, possibly a result of their geographical proximity. Nevertheless, differences in the samples were apparent. Because the findings are relative rather than absolute in terms of presence or absence of individual inorganic elements, further research is required to convert them into operationally usable results.

Becker2, Laurent Jolivet3 and Mehmet Keskin4 5 6 1 LET, Laboratory of Experimental Tectonics, Università Roma Tre, Rome, Italy 7 2 Department of Earth Sciences, University of Southern California, Los Angeles CA 90089, 8 USA 9 3Institut des Sciences de la Terre d'Orléans - Université Orleans 10 4 Dept. of Geological Engineering, Istanbul University, 34320 Avcılar, Istanbul, Turkey 11 12 Abstract 13 The Middle East region represents a key site within the Tethyan domain where continental 14 break-up, collision, backarc extension and escape tectonics are linked together. We perform global 15 mantle circulation computations to test the role of slab pull and mantle upwellings as driving forces 16 for the kinematics of the Arabia-Anatolia-Aegean (AAA) system, evaluating different boundary 17 conditions and mantle density distributions as inferred from seismic tomography or slab models. 18 Model results are compared with geodesy, residual topography, and shear wave splitting 19 observations. The AAA velocity field with respect to Eurasia shows an anti-clockwise toroidal 20 pattern, with increasing velocities toward the Aegean trench. The best match to these crustal 21 motions can be obtained by combining the effect of slab pull exerted in the Aegean with a mantle 22 upwelling underneath Afar and, more generally, with the large-scale flow associated with a whole 23 mantle, Tethyan convection cell. Neogene volcanism for AAA is widespread, not only in the 24 extensional or subduction settings, but also within plates, such as in Syria-Jordan-Israel and in 25 Turkey, with geochemical fingerprints similar of those of the Afar lava.
