  • Essential Communication Services Established by the ETC Allow the Humanitarian Community to Support Vital Syria Relief Operations
    SYRIA Essential communication services established by the ETC allow the humanitarian community to support vital Syria relief operations The Arab Spring which swept across the Middle East in 2011 left few countries in its path unaffected. What started as civil unrest in Syria, quickly deteriorated into a violent civil war causing a large-scale humanitarian conflict. More than 400,000 people are estimated to have been killed and many more injured since the beginning of the conflict. More than half of all Syrians have been forced to leave their homes making Syria the largest displacement crisis in the world. The ETC was activated in Syria on 14 January 2013 to provide shared security communications and internet connectivity services to support the humanitarian community. As global and local ETC lead, World Food Programme (WFP) works in collaboration with partner agencies to deliver shared services including UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and UN Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS). Out of the 4.8 million in need in hard-to-reach areas, an estimated 2.7 million people in need live in ISIL- controlled areas, where humanitarian access continued to decline. Humanitarian action continues to take place in a context of increased conflict and insecurity. To facilitate a more effective, coordinated response, the ETC adopted the Whole of Syria approach in 2014, to incorporate the humanitarian operations led from the neighbouring countries of Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Syria The ETC is providing radio programming services to UN agencies in Syria to support the integrity of the security telecommunications network. Two Let’s Comm training sessions were provided to 28 humanitarian participants personnel, providing them with the skills to deploy and maintain security telecommunications network to UN standards.

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.

Seasonal Variations in Zooplankton Species of Lake Gölhisar, a Shallow Lake in Burdur, Turkey Meral Apaydın Yağcı* Fisheries Research Station, 32500, Eğirdir, Isparta, Turkey Abstract.- Seasonal variations of zooplankton species were investigated between Spring 2002 and Winter 2003 in Lake Gölhisar, Burdur, Turkey. A total of 31 species comprising 15 Rotifera (48%), 11 Cladocera (36%), and 5 Copepoda (16%) were recorded. Keratella quadrata, Daphnia longispina and Acanthodiaptomus denticornis were the common species during the study period. Maximum number of taxa were observed from Rotifera and Cladocera during summer, while minimum taxa was determined from Copepoda during winter. Keywords: Rotifera, Cladocera, Copepoda.

  • Kayseri Carpets Tradition Kept Alive
    INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS c/o American Express 15 Sharia Kasr El Nil Cairo, Egypt 14 January 198 KAYSERI CARPETS: TRADITION EPT ALIVE by Kenneth W. Cl Some 50 years ago, a woman from the central Anatolian city of Kayseri sat down at her loom and put the finishing touches to her creation. Into the dark red ari black geometry of her woo! carpet, she had woven a portrait-- herself in a chair holding a baby girl named Gl ("Rose,'' in Turkish). Along the border, she had added the inscription, Yaua _ok Gl._sen, "Gul , may you live a lon time.'' The art of this anonymous woman now hangs in a ayseri carpet shop. You won't find many carpets like it, no matter hew hard you lee. 01d carpets are scarce, being in great demand, and the new ones are mass produced according to standardized designs, leaving no teem for individual expression. Surely, someth.ing has been lest. But ._othe.r respects, modern Kayseri (pop. 315,000) continues "o maintain -key s 700-year- old tradition of producing fine, hand-made carpets. Of he 500,000 looms estimated to be active in the country, 40 percent are located in villages of the Kayser - i region, mak ing it Turk ey' s largest carpet-producing center. These looms produce wool, silk, and artificial silk carpets, all of them hand-knotted, utilizing a technique the Turkish peoples developed sometime before the 13th century (historians argue about exactly when and where the so-called ''pile rug, or carpet, was invented-- the evidence is unclear).
