  • Urfa-Harran Houses and Living Spatial Places
    International Journal of Scientific Research and Innovative Technology ISSN: 2313-3759 Vol. 4 No. 1; January 2017 Urfa-Harran Houses and Living Spatial Places Dizdar Safiye İrem Mersin University Architectural Faculty Architectural Department Mersin-Turkey 1. INTRODUCTION Şanlıurfa, which is one of the important cities of the southeast Anatolia region and central Euphrates area, was established at the head of the Balıklıgöl watershed on the north of Harran that stretches along a north-south axis. The settlement was established on the streambed plateau which, with the Harran plain, was created in the Eocene-Miocene geological periods in an area rich in water and defense and economic resources. The Urfa and Harran houses which hold an important place in Anatolian domestic architecture became the topic of study for various disciplines in the context of the effect of human-nature interaction. In this study the characteristics of Harran house architecture and the possibility of its sustainability were examined. What was generally encountered in the southeastern Anatolian settlement region in spatial formation: architectural characteristics like the organizational plan with the courtyard closed to the outside and turned inwards, the block building technique and the use of regional material; as for in the societal understanding family structure, religious structure and economic and cultural influences were most important. In Anatolia the history of settlements stretches from our day back 11,000-12,000 years. The factors influential in the creation of the houses that made up the settlements may be examined in two groups as natural and human factors. The natural factors may be evaluated as climate, land formations and material while the human factors may be evaluated as characteristics of the social-economic and user-based plan.

ABSTRACT In this study, it is explored how woody plants used in making handicraft of baskets in Midyat, Nusaybin, Akarsu, Kızıltepe provinces of Mardin, and how they are processed. In this area, six woody taxa is recorded (Salix viminalis L., Populus nigra L. subsp. nigra, Punica granatum L., Celtis australis L., Cornus sanguineae L. subsp. australis (C.A.Meyer) Jav and Anagyris foetida L.) in basket production. The local names of the baskets determined in this province, how these trees are processed, scientific and local names of these trees, where they are obtained, and archives of the photographs taken during this study are given.

  • GNOSTIC ELEMENTS in HERMETIC TRADITIONS Islamic
    CHAPTER SEVEN GNOSTIC ELEMENTS IN HERMETIC TRADITIONS Islamic historiographers relate that the Sabaeans of Harran identified Enoch with Hermes, and Seth with Agathodemon, Hermes's teacher: "These are the ancient Sabians who believe in Adimun and Hermes, who are Seth and Idris." 1 According to al-Bi"run1, however, the real Sabaeans, who were not the Harranians, "pretend to be the offspring of Enoch, the son of Seth. " 2 Yet the links between Seth, Enoch, and Hermes did not originate in 8th- or 9th-century Harran; they can be detected much earlier, in the original Hermetic literature of Egypt. Syncellus, quoting the ancient historian Manetho the Sebennyte, men­ tioned steles inscribed (in hieroglyphs) by Thoth, "the first Hermes." These steles, of unspecified number, were to be found in Egypt in the "Seriadic land" (ev rf, yf, L7'Jpta6iKf,). Syncellus added that after the flood, these inscriptions were translated into Greek and recorded in books by Agathodemon, "the son of the second Hermes. " 3 For the tradition reported by Syncellus, therefore, the relationship between Agathodemon and Hermes was different from the one affirmed by the Islamic his­ toriographers. Agathodemon came after Hermes (whether "the first" or "the second") and after the flood. He preserved the steles and revealed their contents-just as Cainan did in the "biblical" versions of the myth-but did not actually write them. For the Byzantine chroniclers, Hermes was indeed connected with Seth; Tzetzes related that Hermes Trismegistus had discovered the Egyptian alphabet but that according to 1Shahrastan1, Kitiib al-Mila/ wal-NilJal, II (ed. Th. Haarbrucker; London, I 842), 202, 241; see Haarbrucker's translation, Schahrastani, Religionspartheien um/ Philosophen-Schulen, II (Halle, 1850), 61.

  • Amphibians and Reptiles of the Mediterranean Basin
    Chapter 9 Amphibians and Reptiles of the Mediterranean Basin Kerim Çiçek and Oğzukan Cumhuriyet Kerim Çiçek and Oğzukan Cumhuriyet Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.70357 Abstract The Mediterranean basin is one of the most geologically, biologically, and culturally complex region and the only case of a large sea surrounded by three continents. The chapter is focused on a diversity of Mediterranean amphibians and reptiles, discussing major threats to the species and its conservation status. There are 117 amphibians, of which 80 (68%) are endemic and 398 reptiles, of which 216 (54%) are endemic distributed throughout the Basin. While the species diversity increases in the north and west for amphibians, the reptile diversity increases from north to south and from west to east direction. Amphibians are almost twice as threatened (29%) as reptiles (14%). Habitat loss and degradation, pollution, invasive/alien species, unsustainable use, and persecution are major threats to the species. The important conservation actions should be directed to sustainable management measures and legal protection of endangered species and their habitats, all for the future of Mediterranean biodiversity. Keywords: amphibians, conservation, Mediterranean basin, reptiles, threatened species 1. Introduction The Mediterranean basin is one of the most geologically, biologically, and culturally complex region and the only case of a large sea surrounded by Europe, Asia and Africa. The Basin was shaped by the collision of the northward-moving African-Arabian continental plate with the Eurasian continental plate which occurred on a wide range of scales and time in the course of the past 250 mya [1].
