Turkey’s possible membership of the European Union from a cultural perspective
Cultural identity ; Cultural landscape ; Cultural studies ; Europe ; European Union ; Islam ; Turkey
This paper examines the cultural aspects of the Turkey–EU relations by employing the World Values Survey for Turkey, the EU, and the Muslim world. The results indicate that Turkey’s shared values are between those in the EU countries
and in the Muslim world, reflecting the country’s dualistic cultural landscape. Religiosity has been increasing in Turkey, accompanied by an increasing tendency toward traditionalism and a decline of confidence in the EU. They also confirm that higher religiosity
increases the chance of higher justifiability of traditional values, stronger criticism of democracy, and lower confidence in the EU. From the critical and liberal constructivist approach, Turkey’s cultural dissimilarity matters for possible EU membership.

The structure of the Palaezoic schists in the Southern Menderes Massif, western Turkey : a new approach to the origin of the Main Menderes Metamorphism and its relation to the Lycian Nappes
and their relation to the Main Menderes Metamorphism. The study area is located on the southern side of Besparmak Mountain, north of Selimiye in the southern sector of the Menderes Massif.
the morphotectonic model is the central-west Anatolia model of the extensional tectonic regime of the Aegean Sea. There is no similarity between the lens-shaped anticline-horst structures of the NAFZ and the southern areas. While the historical and measured larger
Fracture surfaces of red mudstones (overbank deposits within the Kuzgun Formation of Late Miocene-Tortonian — age) are coated by thin black colored manganese oxide beneath a thin soil cover in the Mersin area of southernTurkey. These manganese

Quantifying the slip rates, spatial distribution and evolution of active normal faults from geomorphic analysis : field examples from an oblique-extensional graben, southernTurkey
The AA. combine a range of geomorphologic techniques with available structural and geological data to decipher the neotectonics of a regionally significant Plio Quaternary Graben in southernTurkey (the Hatay Graben), where the rates and timing

In parts of southern France, the Russian Plain, south central Turkey, the western USA and in Germany, slopes are covered by deposits (cover-beds) formed by geomorphic processes not limited to linear discharges. Often, loess material is mixed

The seven articles deal with the Turkey as a new regional player in the near and middle east, the urban development and segregation in metropolitan Istanbul, the gated communities in Istanbul, the question of really development of Marmara Region
, the new shopping malls and urban life in Ankara, the development processes and state planning in the Eastern Regions of Turkey, the sustainable tourism in Southwestern Turkey and the planning perspectives for the Kemer Region in Antalya Province. - (IfL)
