  • Life in Adana
    LIFE IN ADANA …and Adana With a history dating back to 6000 BC, Adana is one of the oldest settlements in Anatolia and is the fifth- largest city in Turkey. Stretching over an area of 14.030 square kilometres, Adana has been undergoing a rapid development in an attempt to become a metropolitan city. It is situated in the most fertile agricultural area of the whole country that is fed by the life-giving waters of the Seyhan River. Adana's prosperity has long come from the fertile valleys behind it and its position as a bridgehead on the Anatolian-Arabian trade routes. Also its population boom can be attributed to its fertile plains, rivers and highlands. Additionally, besides having created a major textile industry, the city is also an importing trading centre for gold. Due to its being in the heart of that fertile land, Adana has been an important city for many civilizations for centuries dating back to the Hittites, one of the most important Anatolian civilizations. The precious River Seyhan is spanned by the ancient Taşköprü (Stone Bridge), which was built by Hadrian (117-138 AC) and then repaired by Justinian (527-565 AC). It is worth noting that to build a 300 yard long stone bridge in Roman times was a real feat. Furthermore, it is the only ancient bridge still being used by both pedestrians and drivers.

Especially in tourism, storytelling is an effective channel for destination brand communication. Stories are powerful because they turn myths into tangible consumer experience creators; they provide insights and encourage learning. Tourists have always needed myths-stories with attractive plots and characters to make sense of the tourism destination. So it’s important to have portfolio of attractive, positive stories and effective storytelling channels in destination brand communication for any destination brand. In this paper, certain stories derived from a formerly conducted research about a city destination were investigated. Data were derived from the stories by using qualitative approach based on content analysis.

  • Transforming Socio-Natures in Turkey; Landscapes, State And
    “Transforming Socio-Natures is a landmark text for understanding Turkey’s socio- environmental challenges. This interdisciplinary collection engages the reader in a growing understanding of the ecological costs of neoliberal authoritarianism in Turkey. Ultimately, the reader emerges with critical tools for building a new historical-geographical framework for environmental thought and practice.” –Anna J. Secor, Professor of Human Geography, Durham University, UK “Smart, timely, incisive—this book is a wonderful collection representing some of the best new work from emerging scholars on issues of changing socio-natures, and environmental politics in contemporary Turkey. It is precisely the sort of book I would have loved to have had years ago, but at least its time has come.” –Leila M. Harris, Professor, Institute for Resources Environment and Sustainability and the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice, University of British Columbia, Canada “Spanning the whole Republican era and a wide range of environmental issues, this book fills a lacuna in studies of Turkey. It provides the reader with a unique vantage point for understanding the trajectories of and contemporary consequences of the vast economic, demographic and political transformations in the country.” –Ståle Knudsen, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Bergen, Norway Transforming Socio-Natures in Turkey This book is an exploration of the environmental makings and contested historical trajectories of environmental change in Turkey. Despite the recent proliferation of studies on the political economy of environmental change and urban transformation, until now there has not been a sufficiently complete treatment of Turkey’s troubled environments, which live on the edge both geographically (between Europe and Middle East) and politically (between democracy and totalitarianism).
