The morphological and the urban characteristics of the monumental building complexes in Ottoman capitals
No full textThesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, City and Regional Planning, Izmir, 2004Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 149-151)Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and Englishvi, 158 leavesThis thesis deals with the analysis of a very important feature of the Ottoman cities, which is the Ottoman Monumental Complex. The concept of the monumental complex is defined as the core of social life in an Ottoman city. The typical Ottoman city has the most dominant features that make the historians specify it in a specific classification, but not among other classifications. Within time it has formed its characteristic features as a result of many different influences such as religion, geographical location, the conquests and the inheritances from the previous cultures. This makes the features of the Ottoman city unique but at the same time resembling the features of other cultures.In most of the previous studies, the Ottoman monumental complex is examined in terms of its architectural features. However it is seen that the concept has a deeper meaning when it is examined in terms of urban design and the social structure of the city. It has the significance of being shaped in accordance with Ottoman urban design pattern, has the responsibility of having a monumental value and having an important social task as a result of including a complex of different functions within itself. The study defines Ottoman Monumental complexes in Bursa and Edirne by means of their morphological criteria, origins, location, programs, and also by means of spatial and visual characteristics
The development of shopping centers in Turkey: The case of Denizli
Get PDFThesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, City and Regional Planning, Izmir, 2010Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 102-104)Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and Englishxi, 114 leavesIn the last decade, even though the importance of shopping centers appear to decrease day by day, their place within the Turkish real estate market displays a considerable rise. Among those reasons underlying the increase of investments on shopping malls take place the stability of the economic environment, the insufficiency of supply within the market of shopping centers, the young and dynamic population, the increase on gross domestic product, and the high profit ratio compared to other countries. As an explanatory research, this study targets at evaluating the changes and development of shopping centers in history, identifying the characteristics of today's shopping centers, examining the location criteria of shopping centers, and focusing on the development of shopping centers from the world-wide scale to Turkey and Denizli. This study has dwelled upon the characteristics and classification of shopping centers in the world by ICSC and DeLisle and of those in Turkey by AMPD. Among the examined issues take place the adopted criteria in selection of location for shopping centers and the development process of Turkish shopping centers as based on quantitative information obtained. The development process of shopping centers in Turkey have been analyzed for the period between 1988-2009 and in addition to existing circumstances, future considerations have also been made. Examination of the development process of shopping centers in Denizli, on the other hand, has involved consideration of firstly the geographical and socio-economic status of the city, and then of the urban development profile as well as the traditional trade district. In the final stage of the examination, all shopping centers in Denizli have been chronologically analyzed in terms of their development processes, investors, relations with the urban pattern, physical characteristics, transportation facilities and accessibility. In result of the comparative evaluation, discussions focus mainly on the location of shopping centers and their harmony with the urban pattern as well as their future strategies against the threat of becoming identical with one another
Sustainable management of water resources on campus: The case of İzmir Institute of Technology
Get PDFThesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, City and Regional Planning, Izmir, 2011Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 180-188)Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and Englishxviii, 194 leavesThe concept of sustainability plays an essential role in university campus development. This study specifically focuses on sustainable water resources management among extensive sustainable campus principles. Water is a non-renewable asset for our increasingly arid geography due to reasons such as global warming. The sustainable management of water resources includes capture and reclamation of rainwater/stormwater, treatment of wastewater, protection and enhancement of groundwater quality, protection and rehabilitation of natural water bodies (creeks, streams, rivers, lakes and others) and efficient landscapes. Green infrastructure techniques prevent runoff problems due to conventional drainage such as flood and water quality degradation; and provide natural drainage and infiltration, improve water quality, prevent floods and enhance ground water. In thisstudy rainwater/stormwater is treated as a non-renewable resource instead of wastewater. This water resource can be captured and reused for different purposes such as irrigation, groundwater recharge, green corridors and landscape amenity by integration of rainwater/stormwater features into the site in an aesthetically pleasing way. Additionally, use of green infrastructure techniques reduces the consumption of clean water. This study develops strategies for use of green infrastructure techniques and recommendations to guide the implementation of these strategies. As a case study, recommendation of green infrastructure techniques with efficient landscape for entire Izmir Institute of Technology (IYTE) Campus located in Gülbahce-Urla (Izmir) has been developed

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
