    Innovative trend analysis of total annual rainfall and temperature variability case study: Yesilirmak region, Turkey

    Serencam, Uğur

    It is well known that any kind of ordinary hydrometeorological parameter trend may have increasing or decreasing tendency systematically. Various methodologies are developed for possible trend identification such as the well-known Mann-Kendall test and recently Şen innovative trend analysis (ITA) approaches. The former has a set of assumptions, whereas the latter is almost without any restrictive assumption. The main purpose of this paper is to present precipitation and temperature trend behaviors by applying ITA in Yesilirmak drainage basin. Selected observation stations are mainly located at the Black Sea confluence region of Yesilirmak while few others at the middle and upper drainage basins. ITA provided visual inspection with quantitative trend slopes distinctively for low, medium, and high sub-levels with physical interpretations. Based on categorization, precipitation records have significant decreasing trends in low, medium, and high levels as an average − 3.4%, − 3.8%, and − 2.4%, respectively. In contrary to precipitation trend, and consistent to global expectation in climate change, temperature records have significantly strong increasing tendency along the basin. In sub-level of temperature, this strong trend tendencies are detected + 4.6%, + 4.8%, and + 7.2% from low to high ranges, respectively.

    Detecting housing price bubbles using panel unit roots tests

    Korkmaz, Özge

    The current developments in the global economy indicate that fluctuations in housing price have important effect on macroeconomic stability. Housing price is one of the indicators of household prosperity. Therefore, excessive volatility in housing market may influence macroeconomic prosperity. Especially it has recently seen higher increases in housing price in Turkey than in previous years. The aim of the study is to investigate regional house price bubbles in Turkish housing market using different panel unit root tests, which are CADF, SURADF, PANKPSS, Fourier KSS, sequential ADF and generalized sequential ADF unit root tests and KPSS stationarity test with sharp and smooth breaks. Therefore, the advantages and performances of so-called unit root tests were compared. The results of the analysis show that the presence of the bubbles in some regions was evidenced by CADF and SURADF unit root tests, while any evidence regarding the presence of bubble was not found by PANKPSS, FKSS unit root tests and KPSS stationarity test with sharp and smooth breaks. This study contributes to the existing literature in comparing of new methods used in detecting of the bubbles in housing prices.

    Değirmenci, Yavuz

    The main purpose of the present study is to examine the main tendencies of the articles published in the field of geography education between the years of 2008 and 2018 in Turkey. Within the scope of this purpose, this study examined the subject fields, research methods, data collection tools, data analysis techniques and sampling methods used in the geography education studies in the journals scanned by the SSCI, ESCI and ULAKBIM social sciences databases in Turkey. The study used the document analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods. The study evaluated 224 articles determined according to the purposeful sampling method from the related databases by using the Geography Education Article Classification Form (GEACF) and then analyzed the obtained pieces of data by using the content analysis method and finally made some interpretations. According to the findings of the study, in the last ten years in Turkey, the highest number of articles were published in 2010 (n=33) and the lowest number of articles were published in 2017 (n=13). It was also observed that, in the field of geography education, the highest number of articles were published in the Marmara Geography Journal; however, in the journals scanned in SSCI, a total of (n=17) articles were published in the last ten years. Moreover, the studies were also determined to show more interest in the subject areas of teacher training and learning/teaching; questionnaires and scales were generally used as a data collection tool; the frequency/percentage and content analysis methods were preferred in the analysis of data; quantitative and qualitative methods were generally used in studies on geography education; on the contrary, mixed methods were less frequently used.

    Future of fig production in Turkey

    Uzundumlu, Ahmet Semih; Oksuz, Muhammet Emre; Kurtoglu, Seval

    Fig is a fruit that grows in warm and humid climates; therefore, it is widely cultivated in the countries of Mediterranean climate zone. It has an important role in human nutrition with the minerals and Vitamins it contains. While fresh figs are offered for direct consumption, dried figs are used as the main or auxiliary ingredient in many desserts. Located in the Mediterranean climate zone, Turkey is an important fig producer and exporter with a share of 23% in world fig production. Although fig production is realized in 60 out of 81 provinces in Turkey, it is mostly produced in Aydin, Izmir, Bursa, Mersin, and Hatay provinces, which provide some 86 percent of the total production. The aim of this study is to predict the fig production trend of Turkey for the next 9 years from 2017 to 2025 using the fig production data from the period between 1991 and 2016 in order to enlighten the policy and decision makers regarding fig, an important export product of Turkey. The ARIMA model has been used to make the estimations in the study. According to the findings, it has been forecasted that Turkey’s fig production will decrease in the next ten years from 2017 to 2025 and the total share of five leading provinces will increase by 1 percent in fig production. It has also been estimated that fig production will increase in leading fresh fig producer provinces, whereas it will decrease in leading dried fig producer provinces in Turkey. It has been concluded that there is a need to create fresh fig demand in other countries for new exporting possibilities.

    The status of renewable electricity from hydropower in Turkey

    Serencam, Uğur

    Turkey has many problems due to its increasing energy consumption and rapid economic growth. Foreign energy dependency adversely affects sustainable development of the country by hindering its economic development. Turkey has a yearly total 433 TWh hydropower capacity and 151 TWh yearly economical capacity. The electricity demand of Turkey will reach to around 420 TWh annually by 2020. Turkey had 521 operational hydropower plants with a total capacity of almost 24,000 MW in 2014. This corresponds to 34% of the total capacity. Within the first 8 months of 2015, 8 more hydropower plants came online with a capacity of around 1,240 MW. The share of hydro in power generation capacity went up by 1% during the first five months of the year reaching 35% from its previous 34% level in 2014.

    Renewable energy status and hydropower in some developing countries and focus on Turkey

    Yuksel, Ibrahim; Arman, Hasan; Serencam, Ugur; Songur, Mehmet; Demirel, I. Halil

    The share of renewable energies varies quite a lot in the developing countries, both in terms of total primary energy and electricity generation. Several different policy instruments are in use for promoting renewable energies, such as quota obligations, price subsidies, and taxes/tax exemptions on energy. Some countries such as Turkey, also have specific political programs for renewable energies. The obstacles and success conditions mainly deal with geographical, economic, administrative and political factors. The Republic of Turkey forms a natural bridge between Europe and Asia and the country has a relatively young population in both Europe and Asia. Turkey aims to utilize its energy potential, including from renewable sources, in a cost-effective manner. In its efforts to promote renewable energy, the government has focused on electricity, but has recently started to pay more attention to heat. On the other hand, Turkey's geographical location has several advantages for extensive use of most of the renewable energy sources. In this regard, renewable energy resources appear the most efficient and effective solutions for clean and sustainable energy development in Turkey. In addition to Turkey has a great hydropower, especially small hydropower potential. This paper deals with Turkey's renewable energy status in developing countries.

    Study of phylogenetic relationship of Turkish species of Matthiola (Brassicaceae) based on ISSR amplification

    Doğan, Bekir; Çelik, Mustafa; Ünal, Murat; Sefali, Abdurrahman; Martin, Esra; Kaya, Ayla

    Matthiola W.T.Aiton is a taxonomically complex genus in which there are many problems, mostly with Matthiola longipetala and M. odoratissima. Matthiola species native to Turkey were collected from various locations in Anatolia, and their DNA was isolated. Revision studies performed on the basis of molecular data obtained from studies conducted in recent years have made the phylogenetic relationships and systematic positions of the taxa more apparent and reliable. Consequently, the remaining taxonomic problems among the species have been resolved through the use of DNA-based molecular analysis methods, which, unlike phenotype studies, are not affected by environmental factors. The inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) fingerprinting method was used in the study because its properties were considered to be more reliable and consistent than those of the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA method. DNA fragments were amplified through the use of ISSR primers. The phylogenetic relationships among the taxa were represe ted on a dendrogram constructed through means of NTSYSpc 2.02 software. The infrageneric and intergeneric phylogenetic relationships between Matthiola and other related genera were also characterized. It was determined that the taxa Matthiola odoratissima and M. ovatifolia are separate but closely related. Moreover, it was observed that the Matthiola longipetala complex forms a separate group within the genera. Clearly, the genera Matthiola, Sterigmostemum, Strigosella, Malcolmia, and Chorispora are phylogenetically differentiated on the dendrogram.

    Toward a sustainable energy future in Turkey: An environmental perspective

    Serencam, Huseyin; Serencam, Ugur

    As long as the energy future of Turkey is concerned there is a consensus among all parties involved in the subject that a strong sustainability based on diverse range of renewable and variety of sources with efficient and fair use of energy is a must. The main criterion in this approach is to use energy with the least possible greenhouse gases and other harmful emissions. A shift in focus to meeting the needs of energy service sector will be immediately felt in the sustainable energy future in Turkey. Another important aspect of the sustainable energy future of Turkey is that all energy users, as more knowledgeable and active participants will be more involved in various stages of the process. However, Turkey has a long way to reach this vision, because of growing greenhouse emissions related to energy production and utilization of alternative energy is slow. Besides, the intensity of energy of the Turkish economy is decreasing slower than many other OECD countries. In addition, energy consumption per person in Turkey is far above the service needs, even for modern lifestyles. There are substantial obstacles on the way to a sustainable energy future of Turkey, such as various aspects of economic structure, a misdirected energy market process, and a lack of vision among the decision makers.

    Multi-criteria decision making methods based weighted SERVQUAL scales to measure perceived service quality in hospitals: A case study from Turkey

    Altuntas, Serkan; Dereli, Türkay; Yilmaz, Mustafa Kemal

    The main objectives of this study are to: (i) measure hospital service quality by using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and analytic network process (ANP) as a multi-criteria decision making method to acquire the relationship and the level of the importance among service quality measurement (SERVQUAL) dimension; (ii) find perceived service quality with respect to different hospital classes (A, B and C) in Istanbul, Turkey; (iii) compare AHP- and ANP-based weighted SERVQUAL scales with the unweighted SERVQUAL scale for public hospital service quality in terms of different hospital classes (A-B and C). First, four hospitals are selected randomly for each class and then, a questionnaire based on the SERVQUAL model is conducted for each class to measure perceived service quality with respect to five major criteria, namely tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy, from patients' viewpoints at hospitals. Next, the second questionnaire based on ANP is developed to evaluate the importance of criteria and construct the relations among the criteria. The study sample contains 281 outpatients totally. Three important findings are obtained in this study. First, there is a significant difference among different hospital classes regarding the perceived service quality. Second, according to the patients, the most important service quality dimensions are empathy, the knowledge of employees, sympathetic and reassuring employees, services provided at the time promised to do so, and safe feeling of patients in interactions with hospital employees. Thirdly, the, perceived service quality through the AHP- and ANP-based SERVQUAL scale is higher than that with the unweighted SERVQUAL scale.

    A systematic investigation on cryptognathid mites (Acari: Cryptognathidae) of Kelkit Valley (Turkey)

    Dönel, Guldem; Dogan, Salih

    In this study; cryptognathid mites collected from Kelkit Valley have been evaluated systematically. Three species belonging to the genus Cryptognathus Kramer, 1879 and six species belonging to the genus Favognathus Luxton, 1973 have been determined. Of these; Favognathus distortus (Kuznetsov, 1974) is new record for the Turkish fauna. In the introduction of the paper given on original description of this species, it has been mentioned that femur I has three setae as for all the species dealt with in the paper, but shown four setae on femur I in the figure. Khanjani & Ueckermann (2008) agreed to femur I with three setae in their identification key for all Favognathus. In Turkish specimens it has been determined that femur I bears four setae. One of the species determined from the research area, Favognathus kamili sp. nov., is new to science. The new species is similar to Favognathus dakotoensis (McDaniel & Bolen, 1979) and F. ochraceus (Summers & Chaudhri, 1965) in general appearance; however it can be distinguished from them by the anterior edge of hood smooth, dorsolateral punctations smaller size than centrals, coxa-sternal region without striae and reticulum, tc on tarsus II similar. Furthermore, it was decided that the Turkish specimens named as Favognathus orbiculatus (Livshitz) by Koc & Ayyildiz (1999), Dogan & Ayyildiz (2004), Akyol (2007) belonged to Favognathus kamili sp. nov. and these specimens subsequently were transferred to this new species. Additionally, the males of Favognathus bafranus Dogan, 2008 and the deutonymph females of Cryptognathus lagena Kramer, 1879 and Cryptognathus ozkani Dogan & Ayyildiz, 2001 have been found for the first time in this study.
