Developments in technology, economics, and ideology have increased mobility since the 1950s. Their impact on the field of tourism is particularly significant. Most of the travels since then have been for touristic purposes. Due to this, the tourism industry has grown rapidly and become a reasonable area of investment, especially for developing countries. While tourism has economic benefits, it can also have negative environmental and social effects. Accordingly, the conditions of the economy, environment and society have become important areas when studying tourism. Prior studies indicate that tourism is not economically efficient in countries with political problems or when it is limited to sea-sand-sun activities. Additionally, existing research asserts that uncontrolled growth in the tourism industry can physically impact the environment and the condition of local areas. Since the 1980s, economic efficiency, environmental sensitivity and social concerns have become the focus of tourism studies. The concept of sustainability became an important tool for measuring the societal impact of developments in tourism. Tourism activities in Turkey began in the 1970s, but the industry really started to develop in the 1980s after "the Tourism Incentive Law" was published. Antalya, became the fastest growing city in terms of tourism. Today, one out of three tourists visiting Turkey are hosted in Antalya. Although the expansion of the industry was planned, tourism in Antalya grew faster then anticipated. Therefore, the use of space was impacted. Previous tourism studies on Antalya have focused on tourism's economic, environmental and social impacts. However, these studies are mostly industry-oriented. Comprehensive studies are also absent in the literature. Social sustainability is a useful tool to measure tourism's social impact without neglecting its economic and environmental dimensions. In this study, tourism developments in Antalya are measured in terms of social sustainability. Tourism developments, plannings, press ...

Antalya is one of the most important cities of Turkey in terms of agriculture, tourism and population. In this study, the global warming case of Antalya was investigated by using the monthly mean maximum, monthly mean minimum and monthly mean temperature data of Elmalı, Korkuteli, Antalya, Manavgat and Gazipaşa meteorology stations between 1970 and 2017. For this aim, trend analyses were performed by Mann Kendall Rank Correlation method and beginnings of trends were determined. Run, interquartile range and autocorrelation tests were applied before trend analysis test. 99.99% confidence interval was used for all tests. Run test results indicated that the data is homogenous. According autocorrelation test results, there is not autocorrelation in tha data except monthly mean minimum temperature data of Antalya station for August. Therefore, prewhitening was used for monthly mean minimum temperature data of Antalya station for August. The 12-month average value of the increasing trend was calculated as 98.33% for the mean temperature, 88.33% for the mean maximum temperature and 80% for the mean minimum temperature. The 12-month average value of the statistically significant increasing trend was calculated as 10% for the mean temperature, 5% for the mean minimum temperature and 0% for the mean maximum temperature. If 95% confidence level was used for Mann-Kendall test, the 12-month average value of the statistically significant increasing trend was calculated as 61.9% for the mean temperature, 34.5% for the mean maximum temperature and 51.2% for the mean minimum temperature. These results show that there is global warming in Antalya. The beginnings of statistically significant trends vary between 1992 and 2009. While water consumption is increasing due to increase in agriculture, tourism and population in Antalya, the global warming detected in this study shows that both water consumption and losses in water resources will increase further. Precautions are suggested in the results section.

14th Meeting of the Euro Working Group on Transp. - In Quest for Adv. Models, Tools, and Methods for Transp. and Logist., EWGT, 26th Mini-EURO Conf. - Intelligent Decis. Making in Transp. and Logist., MEC, 1st Eur. Sci. Conf. on Air Transp. - RH -- 6 September 2011 through 9 September 2011 -- Poznan -- ; Antalya is an important tourism city and located on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. According to the Turkey Statistical Institute, approximately 7.5 million tourists visit Antalya each year. Turkey has a bad reputation about traffic safety. The rate of usage seat belt is too much high level like 80-90 percent in the developed countries. As a developing country, in Turkey, the rate of usage seat belt is one of the biggest matters. According to different studies, seat belt usage rate is below the 20% in Turkey. Therefore, if this ratio could increase, fatalities can be decreased. In this study, causes of this low ratio investigated about Antalya, changes in last year and difference between city centre and intercity roads and differences according to gender discussed and some arrangements suggested to increasing the ratio. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Der Beitrag basiert auf 22 leitfadengestützten biografischen Interviews und wirft die Frage auf, in wie fern RückkehrerInnen als Akteure der Transnationalisierung des deutsch-türkischen Raums bezeichnet werden können. Sie stellen vier unterschiedliche Typen von RückkehrerInnen dar und diskutieren deren Rollen als Mitglieder in transnationalen sozialen Netzwerken, sozialen Institutionen und Systemen. Sie kommen zu dem Schluss, dass RückkehrerInnen nicht per se als aktive Akteure im facettenreichen deutsch-türkischen transnationalen Raum zu bezeichnen sind und dass Transnationalität auch eine passive Komponente haben kann.
