Publication Open Access Simulating change in cultural landscapes: the integration of historic landscape characterisation and computer modelling(American Society of Landscape Architecture (ASLA), 2020) Erdoğan, Nurdan; Carrer, Francesco; Tonyaloğlu, Ebru Ersoy; Çavdar, Betül; Varinlioğlu, Günder; Jackson, Mark; Kurtsan, Kübra; Nurlu, Engin; Turner, Sam; Şerifoğlu, Tevfik Emre; Faculty Member; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED)More than 80 per cent of the world's landscapes are influenced significantly by human activities, and current land-use and land cover trends are likely to increase the rate of landscape change at a significant rate in the near future. To manage and guide landscape change, and an advocacy of positive landscape change–rather than attempts to stop change as in traditional preservationist approaches–requires the identification of threats and opportunities. Tools to do this will need to be based on well-investigated evidence for the long-term past evolution of landscapes and the understanding of possible future scenarios for change. Historic landscape characterisation (HLC) is a GIS-based method employed to interpret and study landscapes with a particular focus on representing and mapping the aspects of landscape character which result from past cultural processes. This paper introduces a new protocol which uses HLC data to model future landscape evolution and to simulate scenarios of landscape change. It describes a computer-based simulation framework derived from landscape ecology and used with HLC datasets during research on a region in southern Turkey. Such integrated modelling protocols have the potential to assist landscape planners to develop holistic and informative approaches to managing landscape change.
Publication Metadata only The history of Turkology research in croatia and of the chair of Turkology of the faculty of humanities and social sciences in Zagreb(Hrvatski Institut za Povijest, 2015) Vlasic, Andelko; Researcher; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AIn this paper, based on archival records of the Archive of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb and on relevant literature, the history of individual and institutional Turkology research in Croatia is analyzed. The Oriental Collection of HAZU was formed in Zagreb in 1927 and on the same year HAZU tasked German Turkologist Franz Babinger with collecting Oriental manuscripts in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The following year, Russian Turkologist Aleksey Olesnitski took over that task and in the following years he collected 1966 manuscripts, 660 documents and over 500 books for the Oriental Collection, as well as wrote numerous valuable works. Besides that, in 1937, Olesnitski was named lecturer of Turkish language at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, but his work was stopped by his early death in 1943. Olesnitski's scientific work in the field of Turkology was preceded by the work of Ćiro Truhelka on the beginning of the 20th century. From the 1970s onwards that work was continued by Muhamed Ždralović, from the 1980s by Nenad Moačanin, from the 1990s by Ekrem Čaušević, Vesna Miović and Tatjana Paić-Vukić, while in the new millennium Kornelija Jurin Starčević, Vjeran Kursar, Dino Mujadžević, Marta Andrić, Barbara Kerovec and Azra Abadžić Navaey joined the Turkology research of their predecessors. On the other hand, the place of the professor of Turkish language at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, that was suddenly extinguished in 1943, was revived in 1994 with the launch of the Chair of Turkology with Ekrem Čaušević as Head, Marta Andrić, Barbara Kerovec and Azra Abadžić Navaey as lecturers, two foreign language instructors and associates from the Faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb and in Sarajevo.Publication Open Access Wild Goat style ceramics at Troy and the impact of Archaic period colonisation on the Troad(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2013) Pernicka, Ernst; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Aslan, Carolyn Chabot; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 57663The establishment of colonies along the Hellespont by inhabitants of Ionia, Athens and Lesbos is well-known from historical texts. Recently, stratified contexts at Troy as well as other surveys and excavations have yielded new information about the chronology and material markers of Archaic period settlements in the Troad and the Gallipoli peninsula. The archaeological evidence for colonisation in this region is not clearly seen until the late seventh to early sixth century BC when there is a dramatic change in the material culture. Destruction evidence from Troy indicates that the new settlers probably entered a weakened and depopulated region in the second half of the seventh century BC. The Ionian colonists transplanted their pottery traditions and started production of East Greek style ceramics in the Troad. Neutron Activation Analysis of Wild Goat style ceramics found at Troy offers further confirmation for the existence of Hellespontine Wild Goat style ceramic production centres. The Wild Goat style examples from Troy help to define the characteristics of the Hellespontine group, as well as the chronology and impact of colonisation in this area.Publication Metadata only Working for the state in the urban economies of Ankara, Bursa, and Salonica: from empire to nation state, 1840s-1940s(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2016) N/A; Department of History; Kabadayı, Mustafa Erdem; Faculty Member; Department of History; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 33267In most cases, and particularly in the cases of Greece and Turkey, political transformation from multinational empire to nation state has been experienced to a great extent in urban centres. In Ankara, Bursa, and Salonica, the cities selected for this article, the consequences of state-making were drastic for all their inhabitants; Ankara and Bursa had strong Greek communities, while in the 1840s Salonica was the Jewish metropolis of the eastern Mediterranean, with a lively Muslim community. However, by the 1940s, Ankara and Bursa had lost almost all their non-Muslim inhabitants and Salonica had lost almost all its Muslims. This article analyses the occupational structures of those three cities in the mid-nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth, tracing the role of the state as an employer and the effects of radical political change on the city-level historical dynamics of labour relations.
