    Natural or man-made hazards that require evacuation put already vulnerable populations in a more precarious situation. However, when plans and decisions about evacuation are made, the assumption of access to a private car is typically made and differences in income levels across a community is rarely accounted for. The result is that carless members of a community can find themselves stranded. Low income carless residents need alternative transportation means to reach shelters in case of an emergency. Thus, evacuation plans, decisions and models need necessary information that identifies and locates these populations. In this paper, data from the American Community Survey, US Census, Internal Revenue Services and the National Household Travel Survey are used to generate synthetic population for Anne Arundel County, Maryland using the copula concept. Geographic locations of low-income residents are identified within each subarea of the county (census tract) and their car ownership is estimated with a binomial logit model. The developed population synthesis method will allow officials to have a more accurate account of disadvantaged populations for emergency planning and identify locations of shelters, triage points as well as planning carless transportation services

    Abstract: This paper aims to compare civil-military relations in Indonesia during Abdurrahman Wahid's (1999-2001) period with Turkey during Erdogan's (2003-2011) by looking at civilian control over the military. The study looks at the differences and similarities between the two countries and the causes of Erdogan's success and Abdurrahman Wahid's failure to control the military. In this research, the author used a qualitative approach. The results showed that there were similarities and differences in civil-military relations between Gus Dur and Erdogan, as seen from civil control over the military. The similarities could bee seen at the beginning of their reign. Abdurrahman and Erdogan had strong civilian control over the military so that they could reduce the military's role in politics with various policies issued. This strong control is also supported by political conditions, political elites, and society. However, there were differences in civil-military relations at the end of the Gus Dur and Erdogan governments. Civilian control over the military weakened at the end of the Gus Dur’s reign which caused him to fall from his position as the President of the Republic of Indonesia, whereas Erdogan’s civilian control over the military was getting stronger. The failure factor for Abdurrahman to strengthen civilian control over the military was a radical change. In contrast to Erdogan who made changes gradually with the support of politics and society.Keywords: Turkey; Indonesia; Abdurrahman Wahid; Erdogan; Civil-Military Relation

    This thesis elaborates the reasons behind Turkey's effort to keep pursuing an official status of European member. The Turkey?s persistence in this accession is questionable because basically the accession process run by Turkey to join the EU is the longest process ever felt by the candidate countries. In addition, Turkey has earned much progress in the economic and political field since Turkey has been led by PM Erdogan and AKP party. By that condition, Turkey's name is often discussed by the world due to its economic success. In the Contrary, in 2010-2013 when the Turkish economy was inflating rapidly, the European Union was in crisis, but the Turkish government did not retreat from this accession process. This thesis aims to analyze what areactually the motives of Turkey's foreign policy which is still maintaining the accession amid the unfavorable condition of European Union. This analysis uses the Foreign Policy theory that will identify the internal and external factors that affect Turkish foreign policy-making. After knowing the factors behind the foreign policy, the thesis will identify the motives behind that Turkey's policy by using the concept of national interest. In addition to analyze the case mentioned above, this thesis will also elaborate how Turkey startedits application to become an official member of the European Union. Other things such as Turkey?s efforts in the pursuit of his desire before and after the reign of Prime Minister Erdogan and also how the EU responses so far to Turkey for its application will also be presented

    Bakalaura darba “Autoritārisms, Erdogans un antisekulārisms Turcijā” mērķis ir izpētīt, kā Turcijas prezidents Redžeps Tajips Erdogans, izmantojot sabiedrības vēsturisko un šī brīža polarizāciju un varas konsolidēšanas metodes, veic konservatīvas politiskās reformas, kas sekmē antisekulārisma politiku Turcijā, graujot sekulāro institūciju integritāti. Darbā tiek analizēta Erdogana virzītā reforma par izstāšanos no Stambulas konvencijas. Šis ir ļoti nozīmīgs temats, jo tas tiešā mērā ietekmē Latvijas kā Eiropas Savienības dalībvalsts un Turcijas attiecības starptautiskā kontekstā. Darba izstrādes laikā autore ir secinājusi, ka Redžeps Tajips Erdogans ar veiksmīgu politisko stratēģiju un varas konsolidācijas metodēm, izmantojot polarizāciju valstī un uzrunājot konservatīvo sabiedrības daļu, ir stiprinājis un centralizējis varu AKP un savās rokās. Pieņemot konservatīvas reformas un likumprojektus, kas grauj sekulāro institūciju integritāti un darbošanās spējas, Erdogans veido antisekulārisma politiku Turcijā, kas veicina valstī pieaugošo autoritārismu.Bachelor’s thesis “Authoritarianism, Erdogan and Anti-secularism in Turkey” objective is to discover how the president of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan utilises the historical and current societal polarisation and power consolidation methods to implement conservative political reforms, furthering anti-secularism politics in Turkey, whilst undermining the integrity of secular institutions. In the bachelor’s thesis the author has analyzed Erdogans push for withdrawal of Istanbul convention. This is an important topic as it directly influences Latvia as a part of European Union and the international relations on global scale. During the development of bachelor’s thesis, the author has concluded that Recep Tayyip Erdoğan with successful political strategy, power consolidation methods and utilisation of societal polarisation has strengthened and centralised the power in the hands of Justice and Development party(AKP) and himself. Whilst adopting conservative reforms and policies Erdogan has eroded the integrity and role of secular institutions. The promotion of anti-secular politics in Turkey fosters increasing authoritarianism in Turke
