Geray, U., Özden S. 2003: Silvopastoralism in Turkey's Mountainous Mediterranean Region, Mountain Research and Development, Vol 23 No 2, May 2003:128-131
Grasslands and forests are degraded in Turkey’s Mediterranean Region (TMR), the center of the widespread traditional Yoruk silvopastoral system. Government efforts to halt degradation focus on afforestation, a policy that reduces the amount of land available to the Yoruks for their traditional livelihood system, which is further endangered by socioeconomic dynamics subject to the pressures of globalization. This silvopastoral system is examined with respect to policies that affect it and its potential for sustainability, with a view to regional community development. Interaction between this regional system, a component of traditional culture in the TMR, and current trends in globalization are noted, and the need for harmony between silvopastoralism and forestry is examined.

Özden, S., Atmis, E., Menemencioglu, K. 2004: Negative Effects of the Recent Unplanned Expansion on Highland Ecosystems in Turkey, Mountain Research and Development, Vol 24 No 3, August 2004
Traditionally, highlands in Turkey have been used mainly for transhumance, a pastoral system based on seasonal transfer of livestock herds to and from uplands. The backto-nature trend in the 1990s led to a rediscovery of the highlands by non-rural populations, a trend that is threatening to destroy both natural and cultural resources in mountains. The Ministry of Tourism, inspired by the concept of ecotourism, announced in the 1990s that it would open the highlands of the East Black Sea region to development, as this region’s share of overall tourism income was negligible, and classified various highlands located there and in other regions as “tourism centers.” Infrastructure investments which the Government tried to introduce in the highlands, combined with uncontrolled demand, has led to unplanned development with negative impacts. The factors that threaten both the highlands and transhumance in the Mediterranean, Central Anatolian and Black Sea regions can be divided into 4 categories: unplanned infrastructure investments, mass tourism-oriented development, construction of second homes, and traditional festivals that are losing their substance.

Özden, S., Mendeş, M. 2005: The Usage of Multiple Correspondence Analysis in Rural Migration Analysis, NEW MEDIT. A Mediterranean Journal of Economics, Agriculture and Environment, Vol 4 No 4/2005 sf.36-41
ABSTRACT In general terms, the notion of 'internal migration' is defined as one's relocation from a permanent place of residence to another between politically or administratively defined regions. In Turkey, as in all countries, the reasons for internal migration include economic, social, cultural, geographical, environmental, demographic and political factors. For this study, 9 forest villages located in the southernmost part of Turkey were selected as subjects. A questionnaire was designed to determine the reasons why local peasants prefer migration. The poll helped determine the effects of such factors as profession, age, and annual income. The technique entitled Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) was employed in this study. Analysis conducted on the data collected for this study indicates that the highest tendency of migration lies with peasants who work as illegal charcoal-makers, below age 30 and earning an average annual income under the local economic conditions. RESUME En general, par migration interne on entend le emplacement d'un lieu de residence permanente a un autre lieu, a Vinterieur des regions bien defmies sur le plan politique ou administratif. En Turquie, ainsi que dans tous les autres pays, la migration interne est le resultats de divers facteurs d'ordre economique, social, culturel, geographique, environnemental, demographique et politique. Dans le present travail, neuf villages deforets ont ete selectionnes dans Vextremite meridionale de la Turquie. Un questionnaire a ete mis au point afin de determiner la raison pour laquelle les paysans locaux preferent emigrer. Cette enquete a contribue a determiner les effets de ces facteurs tels la profession, I'dge et le revenu annuel. La technique de VAnalyse de Correspondance Multiple (MCA) a ete utilisee dans cette etude. Les donnees collectees indiquent que la tendance migratoire la plus significative peut etre observee chez les paysans ages de moins de 30 ans, qui travaillent ille'galement dans des mines de charbon et avec un revenu annuel moyen inferieur par rap¬port au niveau economique local.

Atmis, E., Özden, S., Lise, W. 2007: Public Participation In Forestry In Turkey, Ecological Economics, 62(2007):352-359
ABSTRACT Recently public participation in forestry has been seriously considered in Turkey. Participation is however quite a challenge for a country with a long tradition of top-down management and a strong bottomup dependence on public provisioning. In such a setting, it may not be surprising that the experience with public participation in forestry in Turkey are mixed. There are some positive initiatives like the creation of farmer's cooperatives and NGO's, but their role is quite limited and small of scale. This paper is bringing together different views based on existing studies in Turkish related to Turkey's experience with implementing public participation in forestry.

Özden, S., Atmis, E., 2006: The Mountain-Based Culture of the Taurus Yörüks: Cultural and Economic Approaches, Journal of Modern Turkish Studies , Vol 3 No 2,sf.157-164 June 2006
ABSTRACT Nomadic stock-breeding has always been an activity with both economic and cultural aspects for the Yörük and Turkmen tribes living in the mountainous areas of the Mediterranean region of Anatolia from the initial immigration of Turkish clans to date. Yörüks who spread to many mountainous areas in Turkey have their own original culture. They originally lived along the Taurus Mountains, from the west part of Anatolia to the east Mediterranean region. The traditional highland stock-breeding is not popular anymore for the Yörüks. Migration is a must for stock-breeding in the Mediterranean region. Both the climate and topography require migration because of the fact that as the summer advances, grass dries at lower altitudes and remain green only at higher altitudes. As general strategy for development of rural areas, the production systems should be continued and the cultural and natural substructures should not be upset. On the other hand, it would be wrong to exclude some or all of the components and to focus on the traditional stock-breeding system of the Yörüks. For development of this traditional culture, some economic and social approach is recommended in this paper.

Atmis, E., Özden, S., Lise, W. 2007: Urbanization Pressures On The Natural Forests In Turkey: An Overview, Urban Foresrty& Urban Greening 6(2007):83-92
ABSTRACT Forests used to be the field of interest chiefly for rural communities, but now they attract the attention of urbanites too. Thus the forest and public relationships are turning into concrete facts as it is understood better that the forests protect the production and resources of water, preserve the soil and increase its prolificacy, provide positive effects on the climate and health in general, and can be used for recreation and tourism purposes. This study aims to assess how the forests in Turkey are affected by the current rapid urbanization process. Urban centers were originally built around wetlands and prolific lowlands. In time they expanded, and natural resources such as agricultural fields, wetlands and forests in the construction areas were depleted. In addition to this relationship established through nearness to the forest. Furthermore, such urban requirements as heating, education, settlement, recreation, tourism and employment exert various pressures on the forest. In this study we assessed the above mentioned pressures, and suggest some measures to be taken against further depletion of natural resources.

Öner, N., Özden, S., Birben, Ü. 2007: The relationship between a natural monumental stand recently found in Turkey and local beliefs, Antropological Insights In Press
ABSTRACT Northbound roads from Ankara, the capital of Turkey, pass through immensely wide plains containing almost no trees. There is a small hill above Tuney village located at the right side of the road 80 km north of Ankara, and it is conspicuous by a small forest. How did said forest survive to this day? This is a curious question for everybody interested in nature. This study aims to review and analyze two different structures of the area: the local peasants who created a myth for the small forest in question, and the forest itself. Informal interview method was employed to understand the peasants’ perception of the forest and to get to know them. Inclination of the field ranges between 12-35o four sample quadrats of 400 m², which can best represent the constitution they belong to, were taken in order to find out the stand constitutions in the research site and their various silvicultural properties. There are 10 trees having monumental features in this natural stand. The most magnificent of these trees is 15,0 m, its diameter is 60 cm and it is estimated to be 500 years old. The small forest studied herein does not owe its survival to the shaman belief in question; otherwise all juniper forests would have remained intact. The small forest is conserved not because juniper is considered sacred, but the local people pay respect to the evliya’s grave there. The most significant conclusion deducted from this case study is environmental protection and local beliefs have closer relationships.
