URBANISATION IN TOURISM REGIONS; CASE STUDY OF KUŞADASI
Tourism regions are areas that are rich in natural and cultural landscape values and also have high user potential. In today's conditions, natural and cultural landscape values, which are already under pressure due to global changes, are exposed to more intense destruction in order to meet user demands in tourism areas and provide more users with economic concerns. However, the sustainability of landscape values means the sustainability of tourism values as well as the natural values of areas.
Kuşadası is one of the most important coastal and cultural tourism centers of Turkey, located in the center of important historical and touristic areas such as Izmir, Ephesus, Mother Mary, Milet, Didim, Pamukkale, Marmaris and Bodrum. In this study, the landscape change of
Kuşadası depending on tourism activities and urbanisation in the last two decades has been examined and the effects of tourism and urbanisation on landscape values have been determined. And suggestions for sustainability of natural and cultural landscape values during
tourism and urbanisation process have been produced.

It aims to enhance human well-being, particularly within office environments, ultimately influencing performance and corporate success. In the era of globalization, where office spaces play a pivotal role, the interplay between office design, occupant well-being, and performance cannot be underestimated. Several factors are integral to the success of office design, including lighting, color schemes, ergonomic furniture, and construction materials. A well-designed office should not only facilitate work but also lower stress levels, boost motivation, and promote physical health among its users. This academic study delves into the identification of biophilic design elements that contribute positively to the office experience. It commences with a comprehensive literature review on biophilic design principles and their components. These principles are then transposed into the realm of office design, forming the basis for an expert evaluation survey. The survey findings highlight three paramount biophilic design elements for integration into office spaces: access to natural light, the use of evolving natural materials, and the provision of a nature view. Interestingly, participants with expertise in landscape architecture and biophilic design place higher importance on incorporating natural elements into their office designs. This research emphasizes the pivotal role played by biophilic design in shaping corporate environments, rendering them conducive to work, while concurrently promoting the wellbeing and productivity of their inhabitants.

Bu çalışmanın amacı Ege Üniversitesi Yerleşkesi'sinde çalışmakta olan akademisyenlerin sürdürülebilirlik kavramı ve sürdürülebilir yerleşke hakkında temel bilgi seviyesini ve kişisel düşüncelerini irdelemektir. Materyal ve Metod: Bu çalışmada, üniversitenin yönetimi ve eğitiminde daha etkin olduğu düşünüldüğü için yalnızca akademisyenler hedef alınarak, toplam 215 akademik personelle yüz yüze görüşmelerle anket çalışması yapılmıştır. İki bölümden oluşan anket çalışmasında katılımcıların demografik özellikleri ve sürdürülebilir yerleşkeler hakkındaki temel bilgileri ve düşünceleri irdelenmiştir. Ayrıca katılımcıların demografik verileri ve sürdürülebilir yerleşke kavramı hakkındaki bilgileri arasındaki ilişki açıklanmıştır. Bulgular: Yapılan anket çalışması sonucunda, katılımcıların %44,3'nün sürdürülebilir yerleşke kavramı hakkında bilgi sahibi olduğu, %83,8'nin sürdürülebilir yerleşke uygulamalarını desteklediği, %88,9'nun sürdürülebilir yerleşke uygulamalarını insan ve çevre için faydalı bulduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Katılımcıların %15,7'si sürdürülebilir yerleşke uygulamalarını yüksek maliyetli bulmakta ve %77,9 oranındaki katılımcılar bu uygulamaların uzun vadede ekonomik tasarruf sağlayacağını düşünmektedir. Katılımcıların %93,2'si yeşil yerleşkelerde çalışmanın performansı artırdığını düşündüklerini belirtmişlerdir. Katılımcıların verdikleri cevaplar cinsiyetlerine, yaşlarına, unvan ve kadrolarına, fakültelerine ve çalışma sürelerine göre gruplandırıldığında; yaş ve katılımcıların çalışmakta oldukları fakülte dışında diğer gruplarda istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark görülmemiştir. Sonuç: Yapılan analizler sonucunda, katılımcıların sürdürülebilir yerleşke kavramı hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadıkları, konu ile ilgili bilgi düzeylerinin yaş ve fakültelerine bağlı olarak istatistiksel anlamda değişiklik gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Sürdürülebilirlik kavramı hakkında bilgilendirici çalışmalar yapılması önerilmektedir. ABSTRACT Objective: It is considered that the impact of higher education institutions is important in developing a sustainable lifestyle and ensuring its adoption by the society. The aim of this study is to examine the basic knowledge level and personal thoughts about the concept of sustainability and sustainable campus of the academic staff working in Ege University Campus. Material and Methods: In this study, It is thought that academic staff more effective in the management and education of the university. For this reason the face to face survey was targeted only academic staff. It was conducted with 215 academic staff in Ege University. The survey was consisted of two parts, the first part was about the participants' demographic characteristics and the second part was about the participants' basic information and thoughts about sustainable campuses were examined. In addition, the relationship between the participants' demographic data and their knowledge about the concept of sustainable campus was explained. Findings: As a result of the survey, it was found that 44.3% of the participants had knowledge about the concept of sustainable campus, 83.8% of the participants supported sustainable campus applications, 88.9% of the participants found sustainable campus applications beneficial for human and environment. 15.7% of the participants find sustainable campus applications to be costly, and 77.9% of the participants think that these practices will provide economic savings in the long term. 93.2% of the participants stated that they think that working in green settlements improves performance. When the answers of the participants were grouped according to their gender, age, titles and cadres, faculties and working periods; There was no statistically significant difference between the groups except the age and the faculty where the participants were working. Results: As a result of the analyzes, it was found that the participants did not have enough information about the concept of sustainable campus and the level of knowledge about the subject changed statistically depending on their age and faculties. Informative studies on the concept of sustainability are recommended.

Urban regeneration practice (which can bedefined as rehabilitation of some parts of the city, reuse of abandoned areas, improvement of damaged urban areas and interventions to increase the quality of social and cultural life) is an important tool that can be used to create sustainable cities. In this study, It is aimed to determine the benefit of the urban regeneration project and thus to determine whether the urban regeneration project to be implemented contributes to sustainable urbanization in example of "The urban renovation project of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality located in Uzundere Neighborhood of Karabağlar" by remote sensing methods and spatial analysis of zoning plan layouts, measuring land use decisions, the amount of green areas per capita, the change in , CO₂ gas retention.
