  • Transferring Landscape Character Assessment from the UK to the Eastern Mediterranean: Challenges and Perspectives
    land Review Transferring Landscape Character Assessment from the UK to the Eastern Mediterranean: Challenges and Perspectives Geoffrey Griffiths Department of Geography & Environmental Science, The University of Reading, Reading RG6 6AB, UK; g.h.griffi[email protected]; Tel.: +44-118-378-8737 Received: 21 January 2018; Accepted: 5 March 2018; Published: 15 March 2018 Abstract: Landscape character assessment (LCA) has a significant contribution to make as a spatial framework for the emerging concept of ‘multi-functional landscapes’, a landscape providing a range of functions, services, and human-derived benefits. The paper reviews the development of LCA in Northwest Europe with a brief description of more recent LCA projects in a Mediterranean context. This is followed by a comparative description of the Living Landscapes approach developed in the UK as applied to Cyprus. The focus is upon the challenges, and limitations, of transferring a method developed in one context to the different physical and cultural setting of the island of Cyprus examining differences in the definition of landscapes, the availability of information on the cultural landscape, the importance of incorporating a strong element of ‘time-depth’, and the potential of LCA for enhancing land use policy at a time of increased land pressures in the Mediterranean. Keywords: landscape character assessment; multi-functional landscapes; planning; UK; Cyprus 1. Introduction ‘Landscape’ means different things to different people in different contexts and, in some parts of the world, is not even recognized as a concept. However, increasingly we recognize some idea of ‘landscape’ as a convenient framework within which to plan and manage land resources.

    10. Tourist attractions in the Asia Předmět: The Tourist Attractions in the Czech Republic and in the World Geography of Cyprus Cyprus is an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean and the third largest and third most populous island in the Mediterranean. Cyprus is located south of Turkey, west of Syria and Lebanon, northwest of Israel, north of Egypt, and southeast of Greece. A very narrow band of mountains (the Kyrenia) slices across the northern edge of Cyprus. That low range of mountains reaches a maximum of 1,024 m in elevation. In the south and western portions of the island the Troodos Mountains dominate. The highest point on Cyprus, located in the center of the Troodos range, is Mount Olympus at 1,952 m. Rivers are seasonal and only flow after heavy rain, and under those conditions the Pedieos is the longest river in Cyprus. It rises in the Troodos Mountains, flowing northeast through the capital city of Nicosia. It then steers east, meeting the sea at Famagusta Bay. The river has a total length of approximately 100 km. Cyprus has over 100 dams and reservoirs, and all are the island's principal source of water for both agricultural and domestic use. The main tourist attractions in Cyprus There's no shortage of ancient sites in Cyprus but Kourion is the pick of the bunch. Romantically situated across a coastal cliff with tumbling views of the countryside and Mediterranean below, it's a magical place. The entire site is vast, but the most famous section is the theater and the House of Eustolios, which holds a clutch of fine, well-preserved mosaics.

  • Cyprus, British Colonialism and the Seeds of Partition: from Coexistence to Communal Strife
    Cyprus, British Colonialism and the Seeds of Partition: From Coexistence to Communal Strife Christos P. Ioannides A look at the pre-1974 demographic map of Cyprus along ethno-religious lines, Christian Greek and Muslim Turk, shows a mosaic-like landscape, one resembling a colorful quilt extending all over the island. Indeed, the two groups lived in proximity and were interspersed throughout the island. By definition partitions are topo-centric as they usually revolve around the movement of populations from one territorial space to another. As a rule, with rare exception, this population movement is the result of the use of force. The purpose of this paper is to examine the process, the diplomacy and the dynamics on the ground that can become catalysts for partition, looking at Cyprus as a case study or a sui generis study rather, considering that before the Turkish invasion, occupation and de facto partition of Cyprus in the summer of 1974, the island’s demographic landscape resembled an ethno-religious mosaic. The context is the British colonial rule in Cyprus that lasted 82 years, from 1878 to 1960. Preceding Britain’s arrival, Cyprus was ruled by the Ottoman Turks for three centuries, 1571 to 1878. Ottoman rule was an Islamic rule par excellence. Like the rest of the Ottoman Empire, Cyprus was ruled under the millet system whereby the ahl-al-kitab, people of the book, Christians and Jews, were recognized as religious communities with their religious leaders representing them before the Sultan. Thus, during the three centuries of Ottoman rule, religion defined and regulated relations between the two groups, the Muslim Turks, the rulers, and the Greek Orthodox Christians, the subjects known as rayas, with the Greek Orthodox Church becoming their dominant institution, not only in the religious domain but in the social and political spheres as well.

  • 20Th Century British Colonialism in Cyprus Through Education*
    Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, Issue 50, Winter 2013, 1-20 20th Century British Colonialism in Cyprus through Education İçim Özenli ÖZMATYATLI Ali Efdal ÖZKUL Suggested Citation: Ozmatyatli, I. O. & Ozkul, A. E. (2013). 20th Century British Colonialism in Cyprus through Education. Egitim Arastirmalari-Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 50, 1-20. Abstract Problem Statement: The island of Cyprus, due to its strategic location, was under the influence of many conquerors throughout the centuries. Cultural traces of these captors have survived to the present day. This long, turbulent history has had a profound effect on the Cypriot educational system, with the most recent influence being the impact of the British Administration during the 19th and 20th centuries. Purpose of Study: This article attempts to reveal the influence and consequences of British Colonial policies on education, focussing on curriculum and its aims in the 20th century. The emphasis is more on the opinion of the recipients of education concerning their experience with the education system and their perception of its success or failure rather than on the aims and goals as set by the administrators and educators. Methods: This study encompasses a qualitative research approach to gain in-depth data based on interviews of Turkish-Cypriots and Greek- Cypriots of different backgrounds who were students during the colonial times. The data regarding issues of primary and secondary school curriculum and its aims, nationalism and religion at schools, identity, and ties between the two communities and their “motherlands” was recorded, analysed thematically, and presented in detail. This article is a summary of a chapter in the book called British Colonial Influence on Cypriot Education written by Icım Ozenli Ozmatyatlı and published by Lap Lambert Academic Publishing.

Indeed at certain critical junctures this problem had a determining impact on the course special report of Greek political history. This has become abundant­ ly clear since the dramatic events of the summer of 1974: the relentless search of a «solution» to the Cyprus problem not only contributed decisively to ethnic conflict in a the advent of the military dictatorship in 1967 but it also was one of the decisive factors which led to its disintegration seven years later in the wake of its strategic area: fatal adventure in Cyprus.

Through the use of document analysis relevant studies have been examined. Findings demonstrate ideologies and methods of governance of nations that ruled Cyprus influenced the language policy. Though either Turkish, Greek or English was the official language of Cyprus, Cypriot Turks have always followed Turkey for their policy of medium of instruction. The language used in Turkey has always been the orthodox and respected language for Cypriot Turks. However, the medium of instruction in English brought on by the British during the colonial period has maintained its importance. Today, this is not due to a loyalty to Britain, but results from the desire to educate individuals for the global world. Keywords: Cyprus, education in Cyprus, education policy, language education, language in Cyprus, language policy, medium of instruction, medium of instruction in Cyprus, teaching Turkish, Turkish INTRODUCTION Due to its geopolitical position, Cyprus has hosted various civilizations of different cultures. With the influence of their cultural assets and languages among which are Latin, Turkish, Greek, English, these nations shaped the language policies and the medium of instruction policies on the island.
