State of Research on German Retirement Migration to Turkiye: A Qualitative Systematic Review.

Background: The Alanya region on Turkey's southern coast has become an important destination for German retirement migration. Objective: Identify research studies on German retirement migration to Turkey which deal with the life situation, the motives, the handling of critical life situations in the context of retirement migration, and the reasons for return migration. Methods: The researcher conducted a qualitative systematic literature review from January 2021 to May 2021 in MEDLINE, CINAHL Complete, and APA PsychInfo. Results: Eleven studies on German and European retirement migration to Turkey were included after a critical assessment based on defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Motives for retirement migration are climatic, scenic, cultural advantages and the lower cost of living in Turkey. Conclusion: It has been found that most of the studies are thematically narrowly defined, detailed studies deal with and describe the development of retirement migration in a more general way.

This taxon is similar to T. violascens, from which it clearly differs in flower and fruit characters. In this study, the seed micromorphological and anatomical characters, and phylogenetic relations within the genus based on the nuclear-encoded ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region of the new species are determined. Furthermore, the IUCN category of the new species is discussed, and its distribution is mapped.

The Effects of Refugees on Kilis Culture and Economy

The average three million refugees emigrated from Syria to Turkey. Many of these refugees have left their country with their own means. Immigrants have struggled with unemployment in Turkey. With the unrequited assistance and support of the Turkish state to refugees, they settled in Turkish territory. In addition to the humanitarian aid provided by the Turkish state to the people, many of whom live in refugee camps, the personal assistance of people to refugees in Turkish cities is very high. The Turkish people, who see these people as their own siblings, have cultural interaction with Syrian immigrants. After cultural interaction, these people created a cheap labor market. Benevolence and cultural interaction have also affected the labor market. Kilis is located in Turkey's southern border. It is a city about 30 km from Syria. According to statistics, Kilis is a province with the highest density refugees in Turkey. More than three times the population of refugees lives in this city. In this study, most of the Syrian refugee samples were selected from this city. Issues such as intercultural interaction, health problems, education issue and contribution to economic development are discussed in this study.

Detection of Archaeological Sites Using Remote Sensing in The Cilicia Pedias

Ceyhan Plain is located at the southern of Turkey within the borders of Adana. This region as known as Cilicia Pedias in the ancient period. There are many lost and undiscovered ancient sites in Cilicia Pedias. At 3, 4 and 5 spectral bands of Landsat image, it was determined that the archeological sites yield different spectral reflection values from other surface vegetation close to the modern settlement areas. Especially at near-infrared (NIR) 4th band image, underground and evened ancient sites were determined. The unsupervised classification, Histogram Equalization and Principal Component Analysis methods were used with Image analysis 4, 3, 2 band combinations. It was determined that the ancient sites may be distinguished from the modern settlement areas with Principal Component Analysis and linear method. The one of which the resolution is higher in the visual perception was used in 8th band imagery enhancement procedure. Also by using Spot and Aster images, the distribution and spatial features of sites were analyzed. In this paper, 42 units’ unknown ancient sites were determined except for the sites which had been known but got lost due to the destructing.

The Great Depression and the Making of Turkish-Syrian Border, 1921–1939

AbstractThis article explores how the Great Depression in 1929 led to the expansion of illicit circuits globally, and examines the ways in which the introduction of anti-smuggling campaigns came to consolidate the border regimes in Turkey and French Syria. The global economic downturn in the late 1920s led states to embrace protectionist measures such as heightened tariffs and import quotas, all designed to protect local industries and maintain a favorable trade balance. The introduction of such measures, however, often resulted in the emergence of highly profitable illicit circuits, including in the borderland between Turkey and Syria. Here, a sturdy coalition of producers, shop owners, smugglers, trackers, and peddlers began to smuggle into Turkey a range of goods from silk textiles to cigarette papers, while funneling out narcotics into Syria. By seeking the global trajectories of such commodity flows, this article examines the impact of these borderland mobilities on the making of Turkey's southern border by exploring the local and bureaucratic responses to a rapidly changing world economic order in the aftermath of the Great Depression.

Thermodynamic analysis of a novel desalination system assisted with ground source heat exchanger

A solar energy assisted humidification-dehumidification desalination system with a ground source heat exchanger is designed and investigated in this study. The difference of the designed system from the other desalination systems in the literature is that both the seawater and the ground-cooled water can be used in order to obtain fresh water in the dehumidifier. A model has been created to determine the performance of the system and to evaluate it according to different parameters. Open/closed modes of operations of the system have been investigated and the performance of the desalination system have been analysed for the climatic conditions of the cities located in Turkey's southern coastline. The results have revealed that the use of the ground source heat exchanger increased the system performance. For different system configurations, Gained Output Ratio (GOR) and the amount of water obtained have been found to vary between 0.519 and 0.674 and 8.59–10.18 kg/h, respectively. The ṁpd,y obtained by the system for the situation in which the cooler fluid is used (SSW & SW) for Antalya, Adana and Hatay are 11574, 11,063 and 9702 kg/year, respectively.

The Effects of Urban Spatial Development on Coastal Ecosystems: The Case of Mersin, Turkey

In the process of urbanization, protection of ecosystems and ensuring the continuity of the services they provide are very important in terms of the functionality of life support systems. Otherwise, degradation in ecosystems can have negative consequences for different dimensions, such as biodiversity decline, over-consumption of resources and climate change. In this context, as a result of urbanization, the loss of surface water drainage areas, the interruption of the continuity of green corridors and the increase in the size of impermeable surfaces cause problems in terms of sustainable development. Therefore, the attempts to ensure urban spatial development in harmony with natural areas in coastal areas are one of the most important issues of the planning agenda. The aim of the study is to reveal the relationship between the urban development pattern and the natural areas in the context of sustainable urban development, in the case of Mersin a coastal city in southern of Turkey. For this purpose, an interdisciplinary approach by using geographic information systems and remote sensing has been applied to understand the urban spatial patterns of Mersin. A multi-temporal change by using a series of satellite images for the three periods of 1987-2000-2015 have been analyzed. Threshold values was employed to detect built-up land and non-built-up land on the images. The results revealed that Mersin has spatially grown more than 6 times since 1980. The spatial growth is observed to increase by 80 % between 1987 and 2000 and by 60 % between 2000 and 2015. Under these circumstances, the development in Mersin has resulted in critical problems about decreasing of natural area in size, disconnecting of green network and degradation of coastal ecosystem. The results of the paper highlight the importance of determining the measurable variables for analyzing problems of urban forms for the future development strategies of cities.

Calculation of average skidding distance on sloping terrain with GIS tools

To determine skidding productivity and costs for skidding operation, it is necessary to estimate real skidding route and to calculate average skidding distance. This study was intended to expose how the real average skidding distance was to be calculated and which operation process was to be followed up for harvesting units/blocks having irregular shapes as three dimensions. Compartments, harvesting stands, were divided into sub-compartment polygons called harvesting blocks with respect to transport borders determined according to road location, stream flow, and topographic structure of mountainous terrain. To calculate average skidding distance based on surface length between the most suitable existing road segments and centroids of the polygons, a selective process was followed. In this study, vector and raster Geographic Information System (GIS) tools were used. To compare with other approaches and evaluate of the calculus algorithm, various skidding distance determination strategy were improved and applied on the same test area. In this study, spatial analyses have been made for 17 compartments selected from Pamucak Forest Planning Unit of Isparta Forest Region, in Southern of Turkey. According to the results the mean difference between real average skidding distance (ASDR) and shortest average skidding distance (ASDS) was found amount 24 meters for the test area. It has been considered that the ASDR amount calculated in this study is too close to real skidding distance used for harvesting operations. Keywords: Average skidding distance, Transport boundary, GIS, ArcHydro tool

Effects of harvesting time on some yield and quality traits of different maturing potato cultivars

The effect of harvesting time was investigated on yield and quality traits for spring season production in different maturing potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars under agro-climatic conditions of southern of Turkey in 2006 and 2007. The experimental layout was a randomized split plot with three replications, including six potato cultivars as main plots and four harvesting times as subplots. The cultivars tested were adora (early), carrera (early), felsina (mid-early), marfona (mid-early), mondial (mid-late) and vangogh (mid-late). Samples of tubers were harvested at 75, 90, 105 and 120 days after planting (DAP) in spring crop. Early cultivars carrera and felsina gave more than 2 t ha-1 tuber yield at 120 DAP. However, vangogh and mondial (mid-late cultivars) proved to be superior cultivars in relation to dry matter, specific gravity or starch content at 105 DAP. Key words: Potato, harvesting time, cultivar, yield, quality.

Kilise Tepe 1994

The Göksu valley (Fig. 1), which furnishes one of the two main routes from Turkey's southern shore through the Taurus to the Konya plain and the rest of the central plateau, must be deemed one of the country's national treasures. The clear turquoise ribbon of the river threads its way south-eastwards from high in the mountains west of Ermenek to reach the Mediterranean at Silifke, or rather at the mouth of the delta it has created to the south of the classical and modern town. The valley itself, however, is by no means uniform, nor is the road which follows it. Coming from the interior, the traveller leaves the Konya plain not far south of Karaman, and after a gentle climb to the pass at Sertavul, begins to descend thickly pine-grown slopes high on the eastern shoulders of the valley, with the Göksu itself glimpsed occasionally flowing far below. Dropping steeply down, leaving the monastery of Alahan high above one to the left, one passes into a very different landscape around the regional centre of Mut, Roman Claudiopolis (earlier Ninica, see Mitchell 1979). Here the Göksu is joined from the west by the Ermenek Su, and the narrow valleys of their upper courses give way to a wide, low-lying basin, where the stream has cut through one terrace after another, to yield a curiously desert landscape in which remaining patches of the geological terraces, harbouring olive groves and cereal crops in early summer, stand isolated from one another by high eroded scarps, whose steep bare yellow and white limestone slopes are studded only sparsely with pines and low evergreen bushes like prickly oak.
