İkametgâh memnuniyeti bağlamında konut yeri seçimi ve ikametgâh hareketliliği: Bolu kenti örneği

Residential satisfaction is related to the qualities of housing and neighbourhood, the accessibility of the household to different services and facilities, and economical opportunities and social networks. Morever, with the development of urbanization, the choice of housing location and the attitudes of the household in choosing the location have become an important subject which is evaluated in the housing and real estate market. Housing location choice attitudes of the household, having different socio-economical and demographic structures, play a significant role in the development of urban structure and urban area, and real estate market. The aim of this article is to empirically analyze the effective determinants (or factor) in the choice of housing location with respect to household mobility in the context of residential satisfaction in a medium-sized city. In accordance with this aim, housing location choice is estimated by the behavioural model and statistical (factor, regression and variant) analysis which were obtained by using the data set based on the questionnaires selected by snowball households in the sample area of Bolu city. The results show that housing location choice or preference changes in accordance with the socio-economical and demographic indicators of the household in terms of housing mobility in the spatial area of Bolu city. This change was determined to be effective of household the education, salary, the ownership of the property and the age of the head of the household. In conclusion, socio-economical and demographic factors are effective in housing location choice in the context of residential satisfaction in Turkey in genera

Lithology Discrimination in Foreland Basin with Landsat TM

The Kahramanmaraş Foreland Basin (KFB) margins are formed by Paleozoic-Mesozoic limestone, metamorphic and ophiolite. This basin contains sandstone and claystone alternations with lesser amounts of reefal limestone, channelized conglomerates, debrites and slump deposits. An irregular topography and absence of path obscured the accurate and complete mapping of the basin. Thus, Landsat TM images were used. The RGB 751 false colour composites were chosen due to abundant claystone and limestone content of the KFB. The RGB PCA 145 was preferred due to high loading of TM bands 5 (clay and iron oxide mineral), 7 (carbonate mineral), 3 and 1 (albedo and topography). The RGB 5/7-5/1-4 (light green dots in 5/7 indicate enhanced claystone area and OH - bearing alteration zone; red dots in 5/1 indicate enhanced iron oxide bearing alteration zone; fourth band for water bearing minerals) shows the transportation way of sediments. The OH - and iron oxide bearing alteration zones are found on older source rocks and younger deposition area. Main lithological boundary, geometry and provenance properties of the KFB were satisfactorily obtained from the Landsat TM images. However, low spatial resolution (30 m) prevents detail facies discrimination that still requires hard field working and/or detailed satellite images. © 2011 Indian Society of Remote Sensing

Computer Programming with Early Elementary Students with Down Syndrome

Students of all ages and abilities must be given the opportunity to learn academic skills that can shape future opportunities and careers. Researchers in the mid-1970s and 1980s began teaching young students the processes of computer programming using basic coding skills and limited technology. As technology became more personalized and easily accessible in the early 2000s, there was renewed interest in preparing students with the computer programming skills necessary for their education and possible career choices. The purpose of this single case study was to explore the feasibility of teaching early elementary students with Down syndrome basic computer programming skills using evidence-based practices (i.e., explicit instruction), physical manipulatives, and a robot. All participants (n = 3) successfully completed the intervention. Results, limitations, and future research directions are discussed
