    Agglomerations, Human and Social Capital: The case of Manufacturing Industry in Konya-Turkey
    (SELCUK UNIV, 2017) Karakayaci, Ozer
    Over the last three decades, new planning paradigms have exploded the factors depending on socio-cultural characteristics of space, in contrary to regional science. These paradigms argue the strategy for economic, social development and growth of regions instead of traditional theories which focus on spatial analysis as distance, transportation cost, labour cost. Economic development has not been considered independently from space by these theories and it was emphasized importance of economic actors, institutional and economic infrastructure as well as geographic features for economic performance of a region. Space contributes to increase not only skilled workforce, knowledge spillover and distribution but also social relations and interaction. In other words, the social-cultural and humanity factors relating with geography are major factors affecting on the development and also growing of economic activities. Industrialization as engine of regional development has been benefiting from the advantages offered by spatial features, clustering of economic activities. In this context, clustering of economic activities has been one of the new areas of interest in economic geography. Therefore, it can be said that human-social-spatial resources within a region has had a major role in developing by essays of the new economic geography. The aim of this paper is to determine the effects of human and social capital in agglomerations of economic activities in case of Konya-Turkey. In this study, the agglomeration tendencies for manufacturing industry in Konya, which have major potentials in terms of human and social capital, are analyzed comparatively depending on survey and secondary resources with using statistical. In this paper, it is answered a question: how can human and social capital bring about geographic concentration in a region? In this framework, the paper is composed of four chapters. At first, it is involved theoretical background also conceptual explaining about terminology such as agglomeration/clustering, human and social capital. Second, it is called methodological chapter that it involves the determination of variables, explanation analytic methods and techniques, and also giving information relating with the development of Konya manufacturing industry. Third, it is evaluated data getting from analyses and methods techniques. And last, it presents results and evaluations relating with the study findings.

    Re-Thinking the Importance of Rural Areas in Regional Planning: Theoretical Discussions in the context of New Regionalism
    (KARE PUBL, 2018) Karakayaci, Ozer
    Dynamic and network-based spatial structure associated with the social-cultural processes, new institutional and organizational structure, which emerges from global and post-modern movements, have forced to the change of strategies about regional development and politics revealing new paradigms such as new production organization and the emergence of strategic, social, economic and politics centers by concreted with global networks. This change has proposed an item for the discussions oriented the importance and role of actors and settlement in regional economic development as well as context and content of regional economic development. In other words, the rural settlements, which have been ignored or seen as insignificant by traditional paradigms, begin to be evaluated as important factors of economic development with the advantages in their spatial-economics and socio-cultural structure alongside the development models based on space and internal dynamics. In this frame, the main aim of the study is to discuss how a change process the rural area approaches are undergoing and what kind of importance it is in terms of present regional development policies, with the new paradigm shifts in rural area approaches. That new meaning to rural has been gained by discussions about for being an engine of regional economics of rural, for being the resilience to other regions by spatial and social embeddedness in rural, for adopting and diversifying the innovative/competitive production types in rural and for developing the socio-cultural infrastructure of rural, thus, has been on the agenda of politics especially in the evaluation to present new roles in the context of functional-territorial connection instead of rural-urban tension and to reveal the place-based relationships.

    Relational and Institutional Approaches to Planning Issues in Turkey
    (YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIV, FAC ARCHITECTURE, 2015) Karakayaci, Ozer
    Planning discourses have focused on relational and institutional structure, as well as changing economic and social paradigms. This has led to alterations in various stages of planning systems, from theoretical approaches to institutional arrangements, spatial scales, local sources, and power relations and fragmentations, and from planning-implementation processes to political and public interests. Over the last two decades, there has been growing academic and political interest in the evolution of planning from the aforementioned perspectives in Turkey. The aim of the present study was to explore whether relational and institutional approaches are the key reasons for the success of planning approaches in upper-scale planning enterprises. It is demonstrated that insurmountable obstacles that provide reference for institutional and relational dimensions of planning are some of the most important matters impacting planning in Turkey. These obstacles include uncertain spatial scales, fragmentations of authority and territory, and incomplete institutional and legal regulation at regional and national levels, among other issues.
