    Factors affecting rural development in turkey: Bartin case study
    (Elsevier, 2010) Yilmaz, Buelent; Dasdemir, Ismet; Atmis, Erdogan; Lise, Wietze
    The aim of this study is to establish the most important factors affecting rural development in Turkey by means of a multi-dimensional approach and to achieve realistic and practical rural development strategies using these factors. For this purpose, a total of 96 villages are selected fully covering two counties in the Bartin province located in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey, which is among the provinces with the lowest per capita income and the highest share of village population. 36 variables which characterise the level of development in villages are developed. These variables are measuring environmental, economic and socio-cultural dimensions and the relationships among them. Principal component and regression analyses are applied determining that there are 12 factors affecting development of the villages. These are (1) geographical location, (2) size of a village, (3) productivity of land, (4) type of land use, (5) active population. (6) poplar production areas, (7) proximity to a river, (8) housing comfort, (9) characteristics of drinking water, (10) productive fruit areas, (11) cooperativization and (12) social infrastructure investments. Based on these 12 factors, a development index (DI) is developed consisting of the 12 variables with the highest factor loading in each derived factor. Villages are divided into three groups based on (1) the DI values and (2) 36 variables used in a discriminant analysis, showing that the proposed DI is a reliable index to measure variation in development. According to these results, development strategies for each village group are put forth. Subsequently, the methodology developed in this paper can be used to monitor village development and to assist in effective use of resources for sustainable forestry and development in Turkey.

    Mapping of biotopes in urban areas: A case study of the city of Bartin and its environs, Turkey
    (Academic Journals, 2010) Yilmaz, Buelent; Gulez, Sumer; Kaya, Latif Guerkan
    Biotope mapping is one of the planning elements playing an important role in detection of ecologically valuable areas. It is obligatory to consider urban biotopes in point of protection and management of natural and cultural structure especially in the development processes of urban areas. However, urban planning in Turkey where 75% of the population lives in urban areas is done without considering existing biotopes. For this reason, the cities lose their identity and gradually lose their quality of being a livable environment. In this study, the cultural and semi-natural biotopes in the City of Bartin and its environs, one of the smallest provinces of Turkey, were examined. First land use types were determined and later biotope types were classified and mapped. After determining all land usage types, comprehensive mapping method was applied. However, representative mapping method was also used in areas where land usage and biodiversity were similar. Geographical information systems were used to map urban biotopes and store the ecological data. Varieties in land use types and plant species combination were used as indicators in determination of the areas that show ecological differences. A database were formed in order to provide basis for ecological planning approach in urban areas by mentioning plant species found in each biotope.

    A sustainability assessment of quality of life in a traditional settlement pattern: The case of Kemaliye, Turkey
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2017) Tacoral, Ezgi; Atik, Atilla; Yilmaz, Buelent; Aslan, Fueruezan; Altunkasa, M. Faruk
    Worldwide, especially in societies with higher education levels, traditional settlements are important components of cultural heritage in terms of sustainability. However, the recent wave of urbanisation that has been experienced in Turkey has placed significant pressure on traditional structures. The District of Kemaliye, which has largely preserved its traditional texture for various reasons, is a small town in the Erzincan Province of Turkey. The aim of this study is to determine the quality of life of the traditional settlement pattern of Kemaliye to contribute to its ecological, spatial and socio-cultural sustainability. A public opinion survey was carried out with the aim of identifying the public's needs and demands and its socio-cultural characteristics. The survey also aimed to determine the quality of urban life in Kemaliye. Multidimensional statistical techniques were used to identify the most important environmental, socio-cultural, infrastructural and regional factors that affected the public's views of quality of urban life in Kemaliye. Based on these findings, suggestions were formulated for the efficient use of resources in urban redevelopment efforts and to provide a basis for the new settlement plans that are projected to be carried out for the city centre of Kemaliye and its vicinity.
