Article The Impact of Technology on Economic Growth in Turkey(Inderscience Publishers, 2025) Ercan, M.; Temiz, D.; Gökmen, A.The Turkish economy has been suffering from trade imbalance for a long time. Exporting high value-added products will diminish Turkey’s dependence on foreign resources for capital and imported products. At the same time, it may be possible to divert more resources from gross domestic product (GDP) to R&D funds. Appropriate and efficient usage of technology will help companies innovate and find new areas of employment. As a result, the Turkish economy may have a better chance of obtaining a sustainable economic growth for the longer term. This study concludes that increased R&D expenditures leads to a rise in technology and this in turn contributes positively to economic growth. The results obtained from the study show that technology affects Turkey’s economic growth. Therefore, Turkey needs to work harder in the field of technology in order to achieve sustainable growth. Improving the situation and quality of research and development activities in Turkey, encouraging research and development investments by both the government and the business sector should be priority reform movements for Turkey. Policy makers should support science and technology, make institutional arrangements for intellectual property rights and raise the level of education, and make arrangements to increase R&D spending. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Wind Energy Development in Turkey: Policies and Challenges(European Wind Energy Association, 2013) Kucukali, S.; Küçükali, Serhat; İnşaat MühendisliğiThis paper aims to explore the availability and potential of wind energy in Turkey as well as assessing related government policies and challenges. As a European Union (EU) candidate several incentives were developed in Turkey for electricity generation from renewable energy sources by the enactment of Law No. 5346 in 2005 which was later restructured by Law No. 6094 in 2010. By June 2012, 57 wind power plants in operation with a total installed capacity of 1776 MW; whereas there are 212 wind power plants are under construction with a total installed capacity of 7166 MW. Within the scope of the study a survey was conducted with experts in order to determine the main barriers for wind energy development. The survey results revealed that the grid connection and change of laws were considered as the most important risks for wind energy development in Turkey. The findings of the case studies demonstrated that the perception of inadequate understanding of the risks elements can lead to project schedule overrun which can result in significant revenue loss.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4Analysis of a Historic Masonry Building(Croatian Soc Civil Engineers-hsgi, 2011) Ozmen, Cengiz; Özmen, Cengiz; Akan, Asli Er; Akan, Aslı; Unay, Ali Ihsan; MimarlıkThe paper starts from the observation that historic masonry buildings are often modified and altered to make them fit for present day use. A single-family masonry house in Turkey, situated in an earthquake prone area and built in the early 20(th) century, is studied. The analysis is made based on Turkish regulations for the initial building and for the building after alterations. Introduction of a reinforced-concrete slab has greatly improved seismic resistance of the building.Article The Effect of Technological Development on Renewable Energy(IGI Global, 2025) Avşar, D.; Temiz, D.; Gökmen, A.Renewable energies have an essential role in the reduction of external dependency of countries by meeting their energy needs from domestic resources, sustainable energy use as a result of diversification of resources and minimizing the damage to the environment from energy consumption. The study aims to measure technological developments' impact on Turkey’s renewable energy production. Therefore, this study uses annual time series data on Turkey from 1980-2022 to investigate the causal link between technology and renewable energy production. This study applies Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) (1981), Phillips-Perron (PP) (1988), Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) (1992) and Ng-Perron (2001) tests for data analysis. In the long run, it has been found that there is a significant positive relationship between technological development and renewable energy; in addition, it has been found that there is a bidirectional causality relationship between renewable energy production and economic growth in the short term. © 2025 IGI Global.

Intensive trade is the average of new products exported or new exports made by existing foreign trade in a country. The study found that the quantity component was 77.97% and the price component was 17.82%. Turkey's common trade share in automotive sub-industry production is 4.21%. According to these findings, it is seen that the strength of Turkey's automotive main and sub-industry exports stems from intense trade. It also appears that intense trading means a large number of pieces of the price device are being explained. © 2024 IGI Global.

Qamarul; Yazici, MehmetIn this paper, we analyze the job creation and destruction process, and the productivity dynamics in Turkish manufacturing by size, export status, import status and ownership by using a comprehensive firm-level dataset for the period of 2010-2015. Our focus is on the effect of turnover, which is due to the entry and exit of firms, on both job flows and industrial productivity growth. Our results show that while small firms contribute most to job creation, it is the large firms that contribute most to productivity growth. Regarding ownership, domestic private firms perform better than foreign firms in both job creation and productivity growth. With respect to export status, even though non-exporters outperform exporters in job creation, exporters dominate the productivity growth. As for import status, in job creation, like in the case of export status, non-importers do better but in productivity growth, unlike in the export status, no group of firms dominate, more specifically importers' and non-importers' contributions are close to each other. Another interesting finding is that, turnover effect on industry productivity is positive but very low. The role of incumbent firms in generating productivity growth is much higher than that of entering and exiting firms.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 5Understanding Location Choice of Syrian Refugees From Country To Neighbourhood Level: Opportunities, Restrictions and Expectations(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi HalilogluThis study aimed to delve into distinct strands of the location choice (LC) of Syrian refugees by uncovering its determinants at country, city and neighbourhood levels from the narratives, along with the help of content analysis. Findings providing an aggregate explanation of the Syrian emplacement process revealed that Syrian refugees in Turkey, as active agents in the process, make their destination choices within opportunities and restrictions of different scales through the contribution of other agents, places and processes. Findings emphasizing time-and context-specific features -the transitivity, interrelatedness and multi-dimensionality (legal, economic, socio-cultural and spatial) of determinants of LC -showed that the opportunities and restrictions of LC influence Syrians' future expectations.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Incivility, Mobbing, and Abusive Supervision: a Tripartite Scale Development Study(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Sumer, H. Canan; Goncu-Kose, Asli; Toker-Gultas, Yonca; Acar, F. Pinar; Karanfil, Derya; Ok, A. BasakUsing qualitative and quantitative methodologies, in three consecutive studies with employed samples, we developed measures of workplace incivility, mobbing, and abusive supervision sensitive to the nuances of a non-Western context (i.e., Turkiye). In Study 1, we first conducted 15 focus groups (N = 149), identified culture-specific and universal themes underlying the focal mistreatment types, and developed the initial scales. We then pilot-tested (N = 427) and refined the scales using exploratory factor analytic procedures. In Study 2, confirmatory factor analyses (N range = 456-524) and associations between the new scales and their widely used counterparts (N = 353) yielded evidence for the construct validity of the scales. Study 2 also involved the development of short forms of relatively long incivility and abusive supervision scales. In Study 3 (N = 482), we first examined the extent to which the three scales were operationally distinct. Second, we examined the scales' ability to predict burnout and organizational commitment. Results supported operational distinctiveness as well as the criterion-related validity of the scales. A dominance analysis revealed that the three scales had equivalent contributions in explaining the two outcome variables, further justifying their distinctiveness. We argue that the use of present scales is not necessarily restricted to the Turkish context and may prove useful more broadly in other neo-traditional contexts.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Decoding the Impact of Covid-19 on Everyday Life Practices of Syrian Refugees: an Investigation at the Neighbourhood Level(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi Haliloglu; Haliloğlu Kahraman, Z. EzgiThis study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at the neighbourhood level on the everyday life practices of Syrian refugees and the potential reasons for virus transmission in their settlements. It is based on fieldwork in an ethnic enclave of Ankara, which revealed comparative insights into everyday life practices of Syrians before and after the outbreak, their perceptions, reactions and strategies towards the pandemic and its countermeasures. Their religious beliefs, socio-cultural structure, social networks and economic struggles have significant effects on their perceptions and practices in pandemic times; together with their living and working conditions, this may create risks of virus transmission. The degradation in their employment status, interruptions in donations and increase in expenditures resulted in decreases in living standards. The outbreak, negatively influencing their use of public services and some parts of social life created new inequalities and stressors but empowered their social support system and virtual networking capacities.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Understanding the Local Dynamics of Syrian Refugee Integration Through the Eyes of Refugees and Local Residents: the Case of the Onder Neighbourhood, Ankara(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi Haliloglu; Gungordu, Feriha Nazda; Haliloğlu Kahraman, Z. EzgiAs the civil war in Syria continues and the displaced Syrians continue to become 'urban refugees' in their settled (host) countries since 2011, policy/political attention has shifted to refugee emplacement and integration. Despite the growing policy-oriented literature on integration, limited attention has gone to developing actor-oriented approaches to uncover the local dynamics of refugee integration by giving a voice to both refugees and local people. Attempting to address this gap in the literature, this article presents the views of Syrian refugees and local people on the integration process through the findings of a case study conducted in the onder neighbourhood of Ankara, Turkey; known as 'Little Aleppo.' The findings portray the social, economic, political and spatial dimensions of Syrians' integration at the local level from both parties' perspectives and reveal the local drivers of and barriers to Syrians' integration in Onder.
