    First domino tile in the social innovation process: idea creation of university students
    (IEEE, 2016-09-08) Yıldırım, Nihan; Ansal, Hacer
    Interrelations between creativity, innovativeness and entrepreneurial skills of individuals have long been discussed in the literature. Due to the challenges regarding their measurement, most studies focused on the intentions rather than the outcomes. The idea generation that requires creativity is the first stage of social innovation. The young population's creative potentials in participating social innovation practices deserve a special attention as they play a critical role in the innovativeness and entrepreneurship of societies. This study aims to explore the factors that determine the creative intentions of university students that are important in generating social innovation projects. A structured survey based on the literature was conducted among 600 management and engineering students from 3 universities from the different percentiles of the Entrepreneurial and Innovative University Index for 2012 of the Turkish Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology. The survey included questions on the demographic characteristics, environmental factors, motivators, university/institutional context, perceptions and creative thinking attitudes. By conducting reliability and factor analysis, accuracy and validity of data is tested and the impact factors were identified. Findings reveal that visionary attitude, curiosity, exploration and learning, attitude for own creativity, self-esteem, perception about the learnability of creativity, university and social environment are components of creative thinking intentions of students and some of these factors vary by year of study and university.

    Climate change versus 'security and peace' in the Mediterranean macroclimate region: are they correlated?
    (Coventry University, 2011-10-28) Türkeş, Murat; Öztürk, Tuğba; Altınsoy, Hamza
    Climate change, whether its global or regional scale, is one of the most significant and far-reaching challenges that the human societies living in the Earth’s surface have faced in the 21st century as it was in the 20th century. Consequently, the aim of this study is to scientifically assess impacts of the global and regional climate changes and variability including decreased precipitation amounts (drying) and increased air temperatures (warming) that would very likely cause to increase frequencies, durations and intensities of the drought events in the Mediterranean basin and Turkey, and associated problems and consequences with respect to the global, regional and national peace, prosperity and security issues and concerns.
