Significance of sketch in creativity process related to graphic design education
Authors: Karaata Ezgi 
Published: January 2023

Sketching holds significance for graphic design as well as it does in any other design process. The contribution of sketching to graphic designÂ processÂ comes in the form ofÂ generating new ideas and developing concepts. The solution of a design problem will not be the best one, if the designer uses technological tools, such as computers, directly in order to solve the design problem. The significance of sketching includes also the graphic design education. Even though computers are theÂ mostlyÂ used tools in today's graphic design education, studentsÂ should graspÂ the benefits of sketching. In this study, the role played in creative process by sketches that students do related to their projects during a course that is in the curriculum of a universityâ€™s Graphics Department will be discussed.Keywords: Design, graphic design, sketch, design process, creativity.Â
Inventive traditionalism vs. considering tradition: The changing character of the city of Ankara
Authors: Acar Aktan , Saglam Hakan 
Published: January 2023

There are different forms of Traditionalism. The most common form is the one that promotes the â€œidea of having a traditionâ€ itself as a discursive practice. The modus operandi of this form is the reproduction of the â€œimagesâ€ considered as having symbolic meanings. Despite the consensus over their â€œsymbolic communicationâ€, those images are deprived of their content that has been accumulated and articulated as a â€œtraditionâ€. The replacement of the accumulated knowledge, experience and consequently content with the â€œimageâ€ seems to initiate new traditions. It is possible to claim that it is a process of inventing those new traditions by means of â€œmade-upâ€ images of symbolic meanings.Architect has a definitive position in this process. The profession proposes a dangerous mixture of being a technician lost its authority and identity within the over exhausting construction market, which multitudes the same building image, without content, on one side, and on the other, of having the ultimate responsibility of inventing and reproducing that â€œmade-up images of traditionalismâ€.This study investigates the invention and reproduction of that made-up traditions through the transformation of urban morphology and texture of the city of Ankara with respect to the changing political and social atmosphere in Turkey.

In history of states and societies, there are milestones that fundamentally alters their future. Whereas victories, innovations and scientific advances lead to prosperity and happiness in society, factors like epidemics, natural disasters, moral corruption or wars which will be focused on study cause grief, turmoil, and collapse. The major transformative events of the 21st century for societies were The World War 1, particularly The World War 2. The remainder of them are millions of deaths of people, irreversible destruction against nature, famine, hunger and misery. After Second World War, two great powers United States and Soviet Russia shaped the world policy by creating a bipolar world. The world was divided into a US-led Western Bloc and a Soviet-led Eastern Bloc. It is called Cold War Era which will last until 1990s. War unsettled the balances, radically changed the peoplesâ€™ social, economic and political lives. The new nation-states emerged, empires and countries collapsed. After that, states developed various economic recovery strategies. Little government achieved development by adapting changing conditions in this process and survived. Throughout history, economic growth models are constantly changed depending on evolving conditions. When it comes to 20st century, along with globalization, concepts such as innovation, creativity, knowledge-intensive sectors revealed. Industries in which individual creativity and talent became an economic value and created employment and prosperity defined as creative industries. In the study, the impact of the creative industries in the process of development after trauma will be examined. It will be discussed that the economic development model can be created for todayâ€™s countries which are still under the sway of trauma and become more and more dependent. To do this, economic development of West German will be compared in the historical process.Keywords: ProductÂ design, Creative Industries, Knowledge Economy, Economic Development, Innovation, Technology.

Published: January 2023

The institution of Akhism which emerged 13th century in Anatolia not only guided commercial life but also regulated socio-cultural life of Turks for centuries. Design ethics resemble Akhism principles in many aspects, especially in terms of people-oriented approach.While Industrial Design is a commercial activity based on human benefit, Akhism purposes primarily human goodness in commercial life. Akhism held relations based on interest between producer and consumer which was an important problem in trades and crafts those times. Likewise, the Industrial Design profession which emerged 20th century with modern industry provides mutual interest between producer and consumer and optimizes firmâ€™s profit expectation and userâ€™s benefit expectation from the same product.Â Nowadays, even if it can be turned into manipulating consumer by commercial concerns, design -as it should be, is an activity which is conducted for human benefit and provides emergence of products and processes that ease the life of people. Human and the economic values which does not conflicts human happiness are priorities of Design Thinking as well as Akhism Thougt System. In this study, ethic responsibilities of designer are discussed on the basis of the principles of Akhism Institution.Keywords: Industrial Design Ethics, Akhism

The Europen Charter of Local Self Government was introduced and initiated in Turkey in 1992 however there were reservations placed on certain articles of the agreement. This Charter can be said to be considered as an essential reference paper for the agenda of Turkish Public Administration for the discussions of â€œreformation in local governmentsâ€, â€œempowering local governmentsâ€ and â€œcreating autonomous local governmentsâ€. The Charter has continously been present in the agenda of Turkish Politics before almost every elections, during preparation of a new constitution, the peace period and democratisation issues. These discussions are in relevance to removing or maintaning the reservations placed on the articles of the Charter.The Council of Europe has initiated the Charter and has started working in 1997 towards creating similiar documents at regions. The Council initially accepted the European Draft Charter of Regional Self Government and in accordance accepted the Reference Framework Document for Regional Democracy in 2009. The Draft Charter states that the recognition of the autonomy of regional governments will not be allowed to impact the policy of loyalty to the state in any way and that the regions will not be able to negatively impact the national unity.The purpose of this study is to research and present the discussions of the autonomy of local governments in Turkey in regards to the mentioned papers. The study will be limited to the impact caused or the impact that may be caused by the above mentioned documents and agreements in regards to autonomous local government discussions in Turkey. The above mentioned articles will not be examined in detail.

Authors: Dogaru Tatiana â€“ Camelia , Peculea Adelina Dumitrescu- 
Published: January 2023

The current economic crisis has called for huge fiscal efforts to avoid a deflationary spiral. In the context of the crisis, the national fiscal frameworks may play an important role in sustaining budgetary retrenchment. Therefore, the need for a fiscal consolidation, meaning a well-designed fiscal and budgetary policy is a challenge for all EU Member States. Moreover, the importance of strong and resilient fiscal frameworks has been emphasised by the October 2009 Council conclusions on the fiscal exit strategy.Â On this premise, the paper discusses what elements and considerations should be taken into account more carefully in designing resilient fiscal frameworks so as to support optimal policy-making and to promote the respect of the Stability and Growth Pact provisions. The unit analysis consists on several EU Member States, affected by economic crisis. Taking into consideration the aim of the paper, the research methodology is based on a case study as research strategy, and uses the triangulation method to obtain confirmation of findings through convergence of different perspective. Regarding the qualitative research, the authors use theoretical framework, legal analyses, systematic and analytical collecting data from official written sources, and macroeconomic indicators for quantitative aspects.Keywords: budgetary framework, restructuring process, governmental measures and policies.Â

Testing of the crowding out effect for Turkey
Authors: Yılancı Veli , Aydın Mücahit 
Published: January 2023

In this study, we test the effect of public investment on private sector investment for Turkey for the period 1980-2014. There can be three different types of relationship between them. Public investment can have crowding in effect on private sector investment. That is, an increase in public investments creates same way change in private sector investments. Public investment can have crowding out effect on private sector investment. In other words, an increase in public investments decreases private sector investments Public investment can have no effect on private sector investment. We first test the existence of the relationship between them by using recently introduced unit root and cointegration tests. We test the stationarity of the variables by using Kapetanios (2005) unit root test and test the long run relationship by employing Maki (2009) cointegration test. Both of the tests allow multiple structural breaks which determined endogenously. Since we find the long run relationship between public and private sector investments we examine the type of the effect using FMOLS cointegrating model which supports evidence for the crowding-in effect.Â Â Â Â Keywords: Crowding Out Effect, Cointegration, Structural Breaks

Authors: Kahraman Nurfeddin 
Published: January 2023

Tefenni Basin, is located in the southwestern part of Burdur Basin. ElmacÄ±k village where paleontological excavations was made, is established at the place where ElmacÄ±k stream opens to Tefenni basin. Â Â Â Â ElmacÄ±k fossil beds, were discovered during the geomorphological studies we did in 1997. Lake containing fossil, marsh layers consisting of fillers, are located on the Formation of Burdur. These layers showing different color and texture features, are tilted 10-15 degrees to the east-southeast direction by tectonic movements affecting region. Due to subsidence and rising as a cause of tectonic reasons, this layer series are located at different altitudes. ElmacÄ±k fossil beds insitu situation have mostly fossil localities. Secondary fossils are also observed in some layer series. Secondary fossil finds, consists of horn and bone oms belonging to various species lived in earlier periods. ElmacÄ±k vertebrate fossil bed, is located between the Neogene fossil beds in TokmacÄ±k town of Isparta province and Ã–zlÃ¼ce village of MuÄŸla province in south west Anatolia., According to these findings, ElmacÄ±k fossil bed shows a bed feature where comparisons can be made in view of the spread and migration of the upper Neogene faunal species. Between 2006 - 2009, excavations were made in five localities in ElmacÄ±k fossil beds. Through this excavations, the presence of twelve different macro species were identified in the region, macro proboscidians being in the first place. Among the excavated fossils, defense tooth of South Mamut, has been the largest ivory ever found in Turkey. Palaeontological findings excavated from the ElmacÄ±k beds, will be exhibited in a museum of natural history established in the center of Burdur. With new work to be done in the ElmacÄ±k fossil beds, withdrawal stages of Burdur Pliocene lake, Pliocene tectonic movements affecting the region and new evidence of Quaternary transition period may also be obtained.

Empirical Assessment of the Eurozone Monetary Policy Transmission in Latvia
Authors: Balina Signe , Freimane Rita 
Published: January 2023

The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the international transmission effects of euro area monetary policy shocks on the main economic and financial variables in Latvia in period from 2000 to 2014. Empirical assessment is made using a standard structural vector autoregression (SVAR) model of the euro area, augmented by the Latvian variables of interest (real GDP per capita, annual inflation and money market interest rate, and consecutively by additional variables: real private consumption per capita, investments, exports and imports, various loan interest rates and real wages). The estimated SVAR model shows that a negative monetary policy shock in the euro area has a strong and persistent effect on Latvian economy via interest rate and foreign demand channels. The main results shown by impulse response functions suggest that the estimated reaction of Latvian variables is several times stronger than the reaction of euro area aggregates. Volatility of reactions can be explained by the small size and high openness level of Latvian economy.Â Â Â Â Keywords: Monetary transmission; Euro area; Structural VARÂ
