Yayın Pedestrian crossing behavior at midblock crosswalks(Elsevier Ltd, 2019-12) Tezcan, Hüseyin Onur; Elmorssy, Mahmoud; Aksoy, GökerIntroduction: This study investigated the pedestrian crossing behavior at midblock crosswalks, in Istanbul. Method: Data were compiled from field studies at four selected crosswalks that were on one-way streets. Three of the crosswalks were located on three-lane streets while the other one was on a two-lane street. By using two-hour video recordings at each crosswalk, information was collected about pedestrian crossing preferences, pedestrian platoons both at curbside and during the crossing, traffic characteristics including volume, crosswalk occupancy and illegal parking, and pedestrian characteristics comprising age, gender and distraction status. These data were stratified with respect to the number of lanes and two multinomial logit models for platooning and individual crossing behavior was estimated for each stratum. Results: The results showed that the likelihood of platooning increases as the traffic volume and platoon size increase. Moreover, pedestrians who waited for little or no at the curbside and started to cross when one or more lanes were occupied generally lost time during the crossing. In terms of policy, the formation of platoons should be prevented by enforcement or demand-responsive traffic signals with push-to-walk buttons, etc. Overall, the study revealed that the presence of midblock crosswalks is questionable.Yayın Digital exclusion in Turkey: A policy perspective(Elsevier Inc, 2012-10) Karakaya Polat, RabiaThis article explores the patterns of the digital divide in Turkey and analyzes policies related to this issue. Our analysis reveals that the digital disparities are interwoven with other social inequalities. This finding is parallel to the conclusions of previous research which suggests that digital exclusion can have a 'reinforcing' effect on social and/or economic inequalities. Having considered the current range of policies targeting either ICT access or skills, we argue that techno-centric solutions with huge budgets occupy the policy agenda at the expense of more sophisticated programs that take into account the social context of digital exclusion. These policies fail to address the most disadvantaged groups. Those who are old, disabled, female and reside in rural areas are less likely to be internet users and existing policies do not reach out to these groups.Yayın Developmental state in the context of globalization: definitional, conceptual, and methodological issues(Routledge, 2025-08) Karaoğuz, Hüseyin Emrah; Ayhan, Berkay; Albasar, İlgi DoğaDevelopmental state has offered one of the most widely used analytical toolkits to study political economy of development. One of the intriguing debates in the scholarship is whether ‘conceptual stretching’ undermined the analytical usefulness of the framework. While for some scholars the developmental state has just become a buzzword because the framework is applied to many different regions inappropriately, for others there are varieties of developmental states in the context of globalization. We address this debate by systematically and critically examining the developmental state scholarship, including its main trends and evolution, key discussions, methodology, and emerging areas of research. We conclude that the developmental state remains a valuable approach for researchers in the post-neoliberal political economy context, but scholars would benefit from more precise definitions, clearer justifications of why a particular conceptualization is chosen over others, and more rigorous application of research methods.
