A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted to investigate the seroprevalence of C. burnetii in human populations of Erzincan province located in the eastern Turkey, identify the risk factors, and to explore the relationship between geographical features. Methods: A total of 368 people residing in the rural (306) and urban (62) areas of the province were included in the study. Serum samples were analyzed for the presence of C. burnetii phase II IgG antibody using ELISA (Virion/ Serion, Wurzburg, Germany). Spatial analyses were performed to evaluate correlations between seroprevalence and geographical features. Results: The overall seroprevalence of C. burnetii was found to be 8.7% (32/368). In rural residents it was 8.5% (26/306), while in urban population it was 9.7% (6/62).

Samet ALTINBİLEK3 ÖZET: Türkiye’de idari taksimata göre en büyük idari birim illerdir. Bu illerden biri de Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nin Yukarı Fırat Bölümü’nde 39° 02'-40° 05' kuzey enlemleri ile 38° 16'- 40° 45' doğu boylamları arasında yer alan Erzincan ilidir. İlin yüzölçümü 11903 km2 kadardır. Yüzölçümü bakımından ülkemizin 24. büyük ili olan Erzincan, Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde de Erzurum, Van ve Malatya’dan sonra 4. büyük il durumundadır. Erzincan ili, İl toprakları doğudan Erzurum, batıdan Sivas, güneyden Tunceli, güneydoğudan Bingöl, güneybatıdan Elazığ ve Malatya, kuzeyden Gümüşhane ve Bayburt, kuzeybatıdan ise Giresun illeri ile çevrilidir. Mülki idari bölünüşe göre Erzincan, 1 merkez ilçe ve 8 taşra ilçesinden oluşmaktadır. İl genelinde 528 köy yönetsel alanı ve 24 kentsel yönetsel alan (1 merkez ilçe, 8 ilçe merkezi ve 15 beldeler olmak üzere) bulunmaktadır. Bu yerleşmelerde 2015 yılı itibariyle 222.918 kişi yaşamakta olup, nüfus bakımından 81 il arasında 70. sırada yer almaktadır. Coğrafi mekânın birer parçası olan idari alanların bölünüşünün coğrafi koşullara ve sosyo- ekonomik yapıya uygun olması yapılacak hizmetleri kolaylaştırıcı yönde etkilemektedir. Bu özelliklerin dikkate alınmadığı durumlarda ise başta idari, ulaşım, ticari ilişkiler ve hizmetler sektörü olmak üzere ekonomik ve sosyal açıdan yerleşmeler ile bağlı oldukları idari birimler arasında birtakım sorunlar yaşanmaktadır. Bu nedenle ülkemizdeki idari birimlerin ayrıntılı olarak incelenmesi, söz konusu olumsuzlukların ortadan kaldırılmasında yardımcı olacaktır. Bu çalışmada, Erzincan ilinin idari yapısı irdelenerek fiziki ve sosyo-ekonomik koşullardan kaynaklanan problemler ortaya konulmuş ve yapılması gerekenler üzerinde durulmuştur.

  • Kemaliye (Erzincan) Case
    Pak. J. Bot., 42(2): 711-719, 2010. THE CURRENT SITUATION OF THREATENED ENDEMIC FLORA IN TURKEY: KEMALIYE (ERZİNCAN) CASE ZÖHRE BULUT* AND HASAN YILMAZ Department of Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Agriculture, Adnan Menderes University, South Campus, Aydın, Turkey *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The flora in Turkey is an outstanding one in terms of its biodiversity and the variety of endemic plant species. In this study, efforts have been made to determine the current situation of Turkey in general and local region (Kemaliye), being rich for endemic plants, based on International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Sources (IUCN) in order to present abundancy of endemic plants in Turkey and conditions in which endemic plant have been threatened. Of 3504 endemic plants in Turkey, 12 are known to have been extinct and 3492 (99 %) are still being threatened. Of 61 endemic plants in Kemaliye region, 5 is known to have been extinct and 54 (88%) to be threatened. This study provides some suggestions about conservation and management of such plants by considering their threatened categories. Introduction Biological diversity consists of three hierarchical categories viz., gene, species and ecosystem. Species diversity implies the diversity of species in a certain region or all over the world (Anon., 2001). According to Hunter (1996), biodiversity consists of five components: 1) genetic, 2) species, 3) community, 4) landscape and 5) process or function (Kaya & Raynal, 2001). The fact that a plant grows only in a certain local area is defined as endemism. In other words, plants which can grow only in a specific and limited region on the earth’s surface are called endemic plants.

  • CIRCASSIANS of UZUNYAYLA, TURKEY Eiji
    MEMORY POLITICS: CIRCASSIANS OF UZUNYAYLA, TURKEY Eiji Miyazawa A dissertation submitted for the degree of PhD. Department of Anthropology and Sociology Faculty of Arts and Humanities School of Oriental and African Studies University of London MEMORY POLITICS: CIRCASSIANS OF UZUNYAYLA, TURKEY BY EIJI MIYAZAWA ABSTRACT This thesis explores social memories among Circassians in Turkey. It is based on eighteen months’ field research in the Uzunyayla plateau, Pınarbaşı district of Kayseri province, central Turkey. The Circassians (Çerkez) settled there are the descendants of refugees who fled from the Russian invasion of the Caucasus in the mid nineteenth century. “Memory” here is used in a broad sense to include the experiences and expressions of historical consciousness in everyday interactions, as well as articulated historical narratives. By interweaving them, the present work aims to analyse the political process involved in the production of knowledge about history and society. In efforts to reproduce a community in their new homeland, Circassians emphasise their history and collective identity. The local elites from noble (worq) families dominate such conservative, essentialist discourses, stressing their status superiority over ex-slave families. They recognise historical significance and identify the driving forces of their history by reference to specific social themes, such as the opposition between the two status groups. They monopolise history as a resource by excluding ex-slaves from the production of authoritative knowledge. Here, memory politics, consisting of space construction, control over interpersonal exchanges, and hierarchized personhood, plays a crucial role. In that process, ex-slaves become muted, made passively to embody a “feudal” past. By contrast, in Karakuyu, an affluent village also known as “Slave Village”, male comrades produce social relations different from elite representations by committing themselves to alcohol drinking.
