Book Synopsis The Garden of the Mosques by : Crane
Download or read book The Garden of the Mosques written by Crane and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1999-11-23 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an annotated translation of what is perhaps the most important Ottoman literary source for the Islamic monuments of the Ottoman capital, Istanbul: Hafız Hüseyin bin Ismail Ayvansarayî's Hadikat al-Cevami (The Garden of Mosques). Long recognized by Turkish scholars as a unique source for the city's architecture and urban form, the text, which was completed in 1195/1780 and revised and enlarged between 1248/1832-33 and 1253/1838 by Ali Sati, contains separate descriptions of each of Istanbul's more than 800 mosques, plus accounts of its medreses, tombs, tekkes and other monuments. The annotations place each of these buildings within the city's urban plan and provide biographical information about the patrons, architects and other personalities mentioned in the text. An introductory essay gives an account of Ayvansarayî's life and works, describes the various manuscript versions of the text and reviews the cartographic resources available for the study of Istanbul's urban form.

Book Synopsis A Neighborhood in Ottoman Istanbul by : Cem Behar
Download or read book A Neighborhood in Ottoman Istanbul written by Cem Behar and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining the vivid and colorful detail of a micro-history with a wider historical perspective, this groundbreaking study looks at the urban and social history of a small neighborhood community (a mahalle) of Ottoman Istanbul, the Kasap İlyas. Drawing on exceptionally rich historical documentation starting in the early sixteenth century, Cem Behar focuses on how the Kasap İlyas mahalle came to mirror some of the overarching issues of the capital city of the Ottoman Empire. Also considered are other issues central to the historiography of cities, such as rural migration and urban integration of migrants, including avenues for professional integration and the solidarity networks migrants formed, and the role of historical guilds and non-guild labor, the ancestor of the "informal" or "marginal" sector found today in less developed countries.

Book Synopsis Comparison of GIS-based and High Resolution Satellite Imagery Population Modeling by : Julia Kubanek
Download or read book Comparison of GIS-based and High Resolution Satellite Imagery Population Modeling written by Julia Kubanek and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decades, the rapid growth of the world population has led to a large number of emerging megacities. The 1999 Izmit (Turkey) earthquake is a striking example of the impact of natural hazards on megacities. On August 17, 1999, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck the area of Izmit, Turkey, resulting in 18,000 fatalities and US$ 18 billion in economic losses. The probability of a magnitude 7 earthquake striking Istanbul within the next 30 years ranges between 30% to 70%. In order to reduce the impact of natural hazards on human lives, emergency management plans are essential. The development of these plans strongly relies on up-to-date population and inventory data. However, existing techniques for population data generation do not meet the requirements of today’s dynamic cities. In this context, remote sensing has become an important source of information in the last years. However, detailed analyses on the suitability of remote sensing for urban applications are still rare.For her study, Julia Kubanek conducted a quantitative evaluation of the suitability of Ikonos imagery (1m resolution) for population modeling in the district of Zeytinburnu (Istanbul, Turkey). The results show that Ikonos images can be used for complementing existing inventory data sets. The automated extraction of single buildings was identified as the major source of error in the estimation of the population. Kubanek's study discusses the replacement of traditional, time-consuming and cost-intensive techniques for population estimation with remotely sensed imagery as a relatively new data source in an increasingly urbanized and fast-changing world. Her book addresses scientists and professionals in geography, remote sensing, urban planning, and natural hazards research.

Book Synopsis Earthquake Hazard Impact and Urban Planning by : Maria Bostenaru Dan
Download or read book Earthquake Hazard Impact and Urban Planning written by Maria Bostenaru Dan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classical field dealing with earthquakes is called “earthquake engineering” and considered to be a branch of structural engineering. In projects dealing with strategies for earthquake risk mitigation, urban planning approaches are often neglected. Today interventions are needed on a city, rather than a building, scale. This work deals with the impact of earthquakes, including also a broader view on multihazards in urban areas. Uniquely among other works in the field, particular importance is given to urban planning issues, in conservation of heritage and emergency management. Multicriteria decision making and broad participation of those affected by disasters are included.

Book Synopsis The Gallipoli Campaign by : Metin Gürcan
Download or read book The Gallipoli Campaign written by Metin Gürcan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The war against the Ottomans, on Gallipoli, in Palestine and in Mesopotamia was a major enterprise for the Allies with important long-term geo-political consequences. The absence of a Turkish perspective, written in English, represents a huge gap in the historiography of the First World War. This timely collection of wide-ranging essays on the campaign, drawing on Turkish sources and written by experts in the field, addresses this gap. Scholars employ archival documents from the Turkish General Staff, diaries and letters of Turkish soldiers, Ottoman journals and newspapers published during the campaign, and recent academic literature by Turkish scholars to reveal a different perspective on the campaign, which should breathe new life into English-language historiography on this crucial series of events.

Book Synopsis Narrating Heritage by : Veysel Apaydin
Download or read book Narrating Heritage written by Veysel Apaydin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrating Heritage critically examines the links among heritage, rights and social justice. This book brings important original ethnographic research and unique case studies together in a coherent and cohesive way to examine patterns and differences of approaches to heritage. It exposes discourses of the uses and abuses of heritage, and provides narratives of persistence, demonstrating the importance of heritage in securing human rights and social justice. Drawing on over ten years of research and ethnographic fieldwork based on six complex case studies from Turkey and comparing them with case studies from across the world, the book explores a variety of social, political, cultural and economic heritage discourses, making explicit the relationship between cultural and natural heritage. This book expands on these discourses by examining the role of violence in heritage, expanding on the concepts of both direct and slow violence. It situates heritage discourse within the sphere of human rights and lays out redistribution, recognition and representation as dimensions of social justice in a heritage context. The case studies in this volume explore multiple themes, from the links between cultural performance and the construction of collective identity and sense of belonging, to the roles of education, learning about other cultures and nationalist use of education. They also discuss the relationship between construction of heritage, space, and access and exclusion, as well as the impact of authoritarianism and heavy neoliberal policies on heritage making.
Book Synopsis When Democracy Breaks by : Archon Fung
Download or read book When Democracy Breaks written by Archon Fung and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-02 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Democracy is often described in two opposite ways, as either wonderfully resilient or dangerously fragile. Both characterizations can be correct, depending on the context. When Democracy Breaks aims to deepen our understanding of what separates democratic resilience from democratic fragility by focusing on the latter. The volume's collaborators--experts in the history and politics of the societies covered in their chapters--explore eleven episodes of democratic breakdown, from ancient Athens to Weimar Germany to present-day Russia, Turkey, and Venezuela. Strikingly, in every case, various forms of democratic erosion long preceded the final democratic breakdown. Although no single causal factor emerges as decisive, linking together all of the episodes, some important commonalities--including extreme political polarization, explicitly anti-democratic political actors, and significant political violence--stand out across the cases. Moreover, the notion of democratic culture, while admittedly difficult to define and even more difficult to measure, may play a role in all of them. Throughout the volume, the contributors show again and again that the written rules of democracy are insufficient to protect against tyranny. While each case of democratic decay is unique, the patterns that emerge shed much light on the continuing struggle to sustain modern democracies and to assess and respond to the threats they face.
