In 2017, we began conducting migration and demographic work on the Scops Owl Otus scops in Turkey. This methods paper is focused on three practical aspects of conducting Scops Owl research using nest boxes and related equipment. Based on the literature and input from other researchers, we developed and built nest boxes, a device (owl stopper) to capture owls by keeping them from exiting the nest boxes upon our approach, and a patio trap for capturing male owls. We offer specific plans with dimensions, material lists, and construction instructions and techniques to enable researchers to build and use these items for research on these small forest owls.

Determining space use and demography of a reintroduced fallow deer (dama dama) population using GPS telemetry in Dilek Peninsula National Park, Turkey Durmuş, Mustafa; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Department of Biology (2019) The Fallow Deer (Dama dama) population in Turkey is presumed to be one of the few autochthonous populations globally. Although the species has been under protection since the 1960s, it had become restricted to a single site in Düzlerçamı, Antalya. Within the context of a reintroduction project, 21 deer were translocated into Dilek Peninsula National Park (Aydın, Turkey) in 2011 and 2012. Fifteen individuals were GPS-collared and monitored between 2011 and 2013 to understand their movements, habitat choice a...
Analyzing Internal Migration to Antalya and Mugla through Gravity Modelling Akarca, Ali T.; Tansel, Aysıt (2018-07-01) Antalya and Mugla provinces located in southwestern Turkey recently emerged as new magnets for internal migration. In an earlier study, we had pointed out that the dynamics underlying migration to these two provinces differs in many respects from that fueling the population movements to traditional magnets. In this paper, we complement our previous findings by showing how in some other key respects, migration to Antalya and Mugla is similar to migration to traditional destinations. We accomplish this by est...
The Design of Academic Writing Groups for EFL Postgraduate Students Can, Gülfidan; İlçi, Ahmet; Alkış, Yunus; Akbay, Tuncer; Kilis, Selcan; Arslan, Okan (null; 2018-04-07) These proceedings contain the abstracts of papers of EDUSREF 2018, which was held in Ankara, Turkey on 6-7 April 2018. Establishing in 2018 as a scientific initiative; Education, Society & Reform Research (EDUSREF-2018) is an International Conference that aims to bridge the knowledge gap, promote social research esteem, and produce democratic information for potential education reforms. The conference included three keynote presentations from (1) Mustafa Zulkuf Altan, Professor from Erciyes University, on “...
Design and skill labs: Identifying teacher competencies and competency-related needs in Turkey's national makerspace project Demirata, Ahmet; Sadık, Olgun (2021-06-01) Turkey's Ministry of National Education started to establish makerspaces called Design and Skills Labs (DSLs) in every public school across Turkey by 2023. However, public school teachers' qualifications required for DSLs are not clear. This study aimed to find out the necessary competencies for educators in makerspaces, and public school teachers' competency-based needs in DSLs. Mixed methods research design was utilized in this study. First, interviews were held with professionals working in private and n...
An investigation on the planimetric design efficiency of guestroom floors in 4-star hotels Kula, Berk Osman; Düzgüneş, Arda; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2009) A large number of hostelries have been established in Turkey in line with the necessities of our age. From the period of Seljuk and Ottoman, we encounter many variations of these facilities which have come up to our time starting from the caravansaries. Today, even though these facilities differ architecturally, conceptually they work in the same way. The common feature in almost every one is to keep the maintenance, establishment and repair costs at the minimum level. In addition to this, hotel facilities ...
