  Türkkan, Tuğba; Hatipoğlu, Ertuğrul; Yücel, İbrahim; Kulakaç, Nurşen; Sipahi, Ferkan; Zeybek, Halil İbrahim

  Violence against women represents a severe violation of human rights and has become a pervasive issue globally. This study aims to examine the risk factors associated with violence against women in a developing country context, specifically Turkey. This study adopted a cross-sectional research design. The study sample comprised 391 women living in a northeastern Turkish province, selected using a stratified sampling method. Participants’ ages ranged from 20 to 60 years, with a mean age of 40.83 years. The findings revealed a positive correlation between the age of both women and their spouses and the likelihood of experiencing physical and verbal violence. Factors such as the number of marriages, duration of marriage, number of children, and spousal infidelity emerged as significant risks for victimization. Additionally, an early age at first marriage, the presence of mental illness, and addiction problems were identified as critical risk factors for women’s victimization in violence. Education and employment were protective factors against violence, with higher educational levels and employment status for women and their spouses reducing the risk. Regression analyses further identified women’s education level, prior exposure to domestic violence, age at first marriage, and the addiction status of the spouse as significant predictors of violence against women. The findings provide valuable insights into the etiology of violence against women. In conclusion, the study has the potential to guide the development of more targeted and effective strategies to combat this pervasive public health and human rights issue.

  Work-Life Balance and Work Motivation: A Study on Turkish Civil Aviation Employees During the COVID-19 Pandemic

  Zeybek, Halil İbrahim; Şahin, Fatih

  The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of work-life balance on the work motivation of cockpit and cabin crew in Turkish civil aviation during the course of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19. This observation points to a significant gap in the research landscape in this domain. The topic of work-life balance is frequently addressed in academic literature, with a particular focus on its relationship with employee productivity, work addiction, organisational commitment, burnout, and gender inequality. The objective of this study is to contribute to the existing literature on civil aviation and tourism by investigating the impact of work-life balance on work motivation during the period of the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, which represents a novel area of investigation. The data for the research were collected through a questionnaire from 458 cockpit and cabin crew members working in airline companies in Türkiye, utilising a quantitative research method. The statistical analyses, which included independent sample t- tests and one-way ANOVA tests, were employed to assess the differences in work-life balance and work motivation based on the demographic characteristics of the participants. The results revealed a strong positive correlation between these factors.

  Spatially explicit modeling of road icing susceptibility using GIS and a multi-criteria decision approach: A case study of Gümüşhane city (Türkiye)

  Işık, Fatih; Kanyılmaz, Rabia; Çağlak, Savas; Eraslan, Selim; Zeybek, Halil İbrahim

  This study develops and validates a GIS-based, spatio-temporal model to identify and prioritize road segments with high icing susceptibility in the Gümüşhane city center, Türkiye. Icing on urban roadways constitutes a significant threat to vehicular and pedestrian safety, particularly in regions characterized by complex topography and dense urban morphology. A Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework, employing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with structured expert input, was used to synthesize ten primary causative factors. These include solar radiation, temperature, aspect, object height, precipitation, elevation, pavement material, slope, albedo, and road width — each representing a distinct topographic, climatic, or morphological influence on urban road icing. The AHP quantitatively established the relative influence of these factors, identifying solar radiation (28.5%), temperature (18.2%), and aspect (13.5%) as the most dominant drivers. The model generates monthly susceptibility maps that reveal "urban canyons"—narrow streets flanked by highrise buildings—consistently exhibit the highest and most persistent susceptibility due to severely limited solar radiation. The accuracy of the model's spatial predictions was quantitatively validated through field observations, with 91.4% of recurring icing locations correctly identified within high or very high susceptibility zones. This research culminates not only in a robust scientific framework but also in a validated decision-support tool that has been successfully integrated into the Gümüşhane City Information System (GCIS), where it is now operationally used to optimize winter maintenance strategies. Ultimately, this work provides a replicable, data-driven approach for enhancing urban resilience and traffic safety in challenging topographical settings.

  Kaya, Fazil; Çalık, İsmail; Taş, Sedat; Zeybek, Halil İbrahim; Akyürek, Suat; Pir, Rıfat

  Türkiye’de dağlık ve engebeli alanların geniş yer kaplaması yaylacılık faaliyetleri ve yayla kültürünün gelişmesini sağlamıştır. Türkiye’de geleneksel olarak hayvancılık amaçlı kullanılan yaylalar; yaz aylarında hayvan otlatmak, küçük çaplı da olsa tarım faaliyetlerinde bulunmak veya dinlenmek amacıyla faydalanılan geçici yerleşme alanları özelliği taşır. Tarım arazilerinin dar ve parçalı olduğu Gümüşhane ili (özellikle ilin kuzeydeki arazileri) ve çevresi Türkiye’de yaylacılık faaliyetlerinin en yoğun olduğu sahalar arasında yer almaktadır. Yörede hayvancılıkla meşgul olan halk için otların uzun süre kurumadan yeşil kaldığı yaylalar, büyük önem taşımaktadır. Yaylalar, çeşitli özellikleri yanında aynı zamanda kültürel birikimin âdeta gizli birer hazinesi niteliğindedir. Önce Orta Asya, sonrasında da Anadolu’da binlerce yıldır hayvancılık amacıyla yaylak ile kışlak arasında yer değiştiren topluluklar, sürdürdükleri ekonomik faaliyetlerin ve yaşadıkları coğrafyanın etkisiyle kendilerine has bir kültür oluşturmuşlardır. Bu kültürün en önemli unsurlarından birini de yayla mutfağı oluşturmaktadır. Yayla mutfağı, Türk toplum hayatında geçmişten beri süregelen yayla hayatının vazgeçilmez olgularından birini oluşturmaktadır. Yayla mutfak kültürü, zamanla birçok yönden ayırt edici ögenin eklenmesiyle özgün bir kimlik kazanmıştır. Mutfak kültürünün oluşmasında, coğrafi bölge, sosyo-ekonomik yapı, gelenek, görenek, tarım, hayvancılık ve teknolojik gelişmeler gibi faktörler etkili olmuştur. Bu çalışmada da kültürel miras unsuru olan yayla mutfak kültürünün geldiği son nokta ele alınmış, gelişimsel açıdan yayla mutfak kültürünün olumlu ve olumsuz yönleri tartışılmıştır. Yayla mutfağına ilişkin mevcut durumun yerinde tespit edilmesi için Doğu Karadeniz bölümünde yer alan Gümüşhane yaylalarına saha çalışması düzenlenmiştir. Bu çalışmalar kapsamında yayla sakinleri, muhtarlar, işletme sahipleri ve çeşitli paydaşlarla görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşmelerden elde edilen veriler üzerinden içerik ve betimsel analiz yapılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, yayla mutfak kültürü dört ana ve on alt tema üzerinden kategorize edilmiştir. Gümüşhane yayla mutfak kültürünün temel yapısını oluşturan bu dört ana temayı; hayvan ürünleri, tarım ürünleri, yöreye mahsus ürünler, yenilebilir yabani bitkiler ve mantarların oluşturduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Kategorize edilen her bir tema katılımcıların ifadeleri, gözlem ve ikincil verilere dayalı olarak bulgular kısmında değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca yaylalarda bakılan hayvan sayısı ve ekilen alan miktarı bakımından azalmaların olduğu, eskiden yayla halkı tarafından üretilen hayvan ve tarım ürünleri miktarının fazla olduğu ancak günümüzde yaylada yaşayan hanelerin genel itibari ile kendilerine yetecek kadar üretim gerçekleştirmeye çalıştığı, yaylacıların temel ihtiyaçlarını haftalık merkez yaylalarda kurulan pazarlardan veya ilçelere yakın marketlerden temel ihtiyaçlarını satın aldıkları tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanında yaylalarda yapılan yöresel ürünler listelenmiş ve yöresel yemek kültürünün bölgeye özgü ürünler kullanılarak devam

  Plateau Cuisine Culture as a Cultural Heritage: The Case of Gümüşhane

  Akyürek, Suat; Çalik, Ismail; Tas, Sedat; Pir, Rifat; Kaya, Fazil; Zeybek, Halil Ibrahim

  The large area of the mountainous and rugged areas in Turkiye have enabled the development of plateau activities and plateau culture. Plateaus, which are traditionally used for animal husbandry in Turkiye, have a characteristic of temporary settlement areas that are used for grazing animals, for small-scale agricultural activities or holiday in the summer months. Gumuhane (especially the lands in the north of the province) and its surroundings, where agricultural lands are narrow and fragmented, are among the areas where plateaus activities the most intense in our country. The plateaus, where the grass stays green for a long time, have significance for the people who are busy with animal husbandry in the region. Highlands, besides having various features, are also almost a hidden treasure of a cultural accumulation. Communities who changed their places for thousands of years between the plateau and winter season for animal husbandry first in Central Asia and then in Anatolia, they have evolved their culture as a result of their economic activities and geographical areas. Plateau cuisine is one of the most important elements of this culture. Plateau cuisine is one of the indispensable phenomena of plateau life, which has been practiced for centuries in Turkish social life. Plateau cuisine culture has gained a private identity with the addition of distinctive elements in many ways by time. Formation of culinary culture effected by many aspects. Such as; geographical region, socio-economic structure, traditions and customs, agriculture, animal husbandry, and technological developments. In the scope of this study, the last point reached by the plateau cuisine culture, which is a cultural heritage element, has been handled, and the positive and negative aspects of the plateau cuisine culture have been discussed in terms of development. To determine the current situation regarding the plateau cuisine on -site, the Gumuhane plateaus were carried out, where is one of the provinces of the Eastern Black Sea Region. The scope of these studies yielded with many interviews who are becoming highland residents, headmen, business owners, and various stakeholders. According to analyses, the plateau cuisine culture was categorized into four main themes and ten sub -themes. These four main themes constitute the basic structure of the Gumuhane plateau cuisine culture; it was concluded that animal products, agricultural products, local products, edible wild plants, and mushrooms. Each categorized theme was evaluated in the findings section based on the statements of the participants, observation and secondary data. Moreover, there is a decrease in the number of animals herded and the amount of cultivated land in the plateaus, the amount of animal and agricultural products produced by the plateau people in the past was high, but nowadays the households living in the plateaus are trying to produce enough for themselves in general, from the markets established in the central plateaus or from the markets close to the districts, and it was determined that they bought their basic needs. In addition, local foods made in the plateau are listed and it has been observed that the local food culture continues by using products specific to the region. Finally, suggestions have been offered to keep alive the plateau cuisine culture, ensure its continuity and transmit it to future generations as a cultural element.

  Monitoring Surface Deformations in a Fossil Landslide Zone and Identifying Potential Failure Mechanisms: A Case Study of Gümüşhane State Hospital

  Alemdag, Selçuk; Yalvaç, Sefa; Bjelotomić Oršulić, Olga; Kara, Osman; Zeybek, Halil İbrahim; Bostanci, Hasan Tahsin; Markovinović, Danko

  The escalating occurrence of landslides has drawn increasing attention from the scientific community, primarily driven by a combination of natural phenomena such as unpredictable seismic events, intensified precipitation, and rapid snowmelt attributable to climate fluctuations, compounded by inadequacies in engineering practices during site selection. Within the scope of this investigation, contemporary geodetic techniques using the GNSS were employed to monitor structural and surface deformations in and around a hospital edifice situated within an ancient fossil landslide region. Additionally, inclinometer measurements facilitated the determination of slip circle parameters. A subsequent analysis integrated these datasets to scrutinize both the hospital structure and its surrounding slopes. In addition to the finite element method, four different limit equilibrium methods (Bishop, GLE–Morgenstern–Price, Spencer, and Janbu) were used in the evaluation of stability. Since the safety number determined in all analyses was <1, it was determined that the slope containing the hospital building was unstable. The movement has occurred again due to the additional load created by the hospital building built on the currently stable slope, the effect of surface and groundwater, and the improperly designed road route. As a result of geodetic monitoring, it was determined that the sliding speed on the surface was in the N-E direction and was approximately 3 cm, and this situation almost coincided with inclinometer measurements.

  Comparison with carbonate rocks hosted iron skarn in the eastern Sakarya Zone (Gümüşhane, NE Turkey): a geomorphologic, geochemical and stable isotopic approach

  Sipahi, Ferkan; Zeybek, Halil İbrahim; Gücer, Mehmet Ali; Işık, Fatih

  The carbonate rocks in the eastern part of NE Turkey are situated within the Pontide paleo-magmatic arc and are frequently in contact with granitoid formations, often hosting skarn mineralization in the region. These carbonate rocks, typically found on ridges and hillsides exhibit predominant orientations along east–west, northeast-southwest, and northwest-southeast directions. A part of limestone, named as biomicrite, metamorphosed and display a saccharoidal texture. Comprised mainly of calcite, with less secondary quartz and iron oxide minerals, these carbonate rocks are classified as Fe-poor calcio-carbonate and magnesio-carbonate, having higher CaO and LOI contents. Marble and recrystallized limestone with granoblastic texture mainly comprise of calcite, less quartz, magnetite, and hematite. Marble classification diagrams suggest calcic skarn mineralization, indicated by decreasing CaO (or CO2) and increasing MgO from limestone to marble (or skarn). Strontium contents deviate slightly from the lithosphere carbonate average, while low Rb contents, attributed to skarn metamorphism, indicate the absence of K-bearing minerals. The high Al2O3/SiO2 in the carbonate rocks can points out hydrothermal activity and carbonate disengagement can indicate to actualize at temperatures that can affect Ce and Al mobilities. The low authigenic U value, low U/Th and Ni/Co ratios in carbonate rocks have been implied that protolith constituents deposited under oxic conditions. Positive Eu anomalies in limestone and marble suggest the influence of hydrothermal fluids. Carbon and oxygen isotope values in marble are similar with those of metamorphic and skarn marbles, indicating a magmatic origin. Overall, mineralogical and geochemical analyses propose a uniform source and/or geological process for all studied marbles.

  Elevation-dependent growth trends of Picea orientalis (L.) Peterm forests in the Fırtına Creek Basin (Rize/Turkey)

  Işık, Fatih; Bahadır, Muhammet; Zeybek, Halil İbrahim; Hatipoğlu, İlter Kutlu

  Changes in climatic conditions have ecological and economic consequences or impact for trees and forest stands. In this respect, it is crucial to understand the radial growth trends of trees, their ecological response across elevation gradients, and the possible impacts of climate change on the species. In this study, Picea orientalis (L.) Peterm, located in the Fırtına Creek Basin in the northern part of the Eastern Black Sea Mountains in northeastern Turkey, was investigated along different elevation gradients in the context of climate-growth response. In the study, six site chronologies along an elevation gradient from 900 m to 2050 m were developed. Dendroclimatological methods were applied to assess the elevation-dependent radial growth characteristics of trees. In total, 200 increment cores were collected from 98 living trees. The relationships between climate and tree ring growth along the elevation gradient showed a positive relationship between growth and temperature at upper elevations (1700–1900 m) and a positive relationship between growth and precipitation at middle elevations (1400–1600 m). In particular, January–April mean temperatures and May rainfall were positively correlated with tree-ring growth. At lower elevations (900–1100 m), the correlation coefficients between climate and growth are insignificant because, at these altitudes, the species have optimum ecological conditions. It was also found that mean temperatures between 0 °C and 2 °C in January–April and total precipitation between 60 and 100 mm in January–February positively affect tree growth. However, if these thresholds are exceeded, it is possible that growth may be adversely affected. This research underscores the complex interplay between climate variables and tree growth along elevation gradients, highlighting the need for adaptive management strategies in the face of changing climatic conditions.

  3D data integration for geo-located cave mapping based on unmanned aerial vehicle and terrestrial laser scanner data

  Çömert, Resul; Özdemir, Samed; Bilgilioglu, Burhan Baha; Alemdag, Selçuk; Zeybek, Halil Ibrahim

  The Akçakale cave is a significant natural and cultural heritage site in the Black Sea region of eastern Turkey. The complex geometry and difficult-to-access areas of the cave have made the use of traditional mapping methods challenging. To overcome these limitations, this study utilized TLS and UAV technology to produce highly accurate 2D and 3D data for cave management and risk assessment purposes. The TLS system was used to create a detailed 3D point cloud of the cave interior, while the UAV system generated a 3D model of the surface topography outside the cave. The two sets of data were combined in the GIS environment using a geodetic network established in the study area, providing a common geodetic reference system for both TLS and UAV data. The study found that the cave area is 13,750 m2, which is smaller than the area of 18,000 m2 that was previously estimated using conventional measurement methods. The volume and ceiling heights of the cave were calculated using the elevation models generated from TLS point cloud data. The 3D point cloud data were also used to map dripstone locations on the floor and ceiling of the cave, and the boundaries of rock blocks on the ground were precisely determined. The study identified potential risks associated with the cave, particularly the risk of rockfall in the source rock areas around the cave entrance and the southern part of the cave. The nearest building to the cave is approximately 35 meters away, and all the buildings in the area are less than 300 meters from the cave. In the event of the cave collapse, the buildings in the southern part of the cave are at risk of rockfall. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of combining data from TLS and UAV systems to generate broad and sensitive cave mapping and risk assessment data, which are critical for cave management and safety. The collected data can be used for cave stability investigations and rockfall risk assessments. This study provides a foundation for future explorations of the Akcakale cave and highlights the potential for modern surveying techniques to enhance our understanding of complex geological structures such as caves.

  Tor topography in Giresun mountains, Türkiye

  Uzun, Ali; Aylar, Faruk; Zeybek, Halil İbrahim; Alemdağ, Selçuk

  Tors are mound-like rock landforms, resistant to erosion, that may sometimes reach the size of several storeys of house by volume. They may develop in different climate regions and different rock types, led by granitic rocks. In this study, tors developed in granitic rocks around Yaylalı village linked to Kürtün county in Gümüşhane were investigated. The study area is located in the eastern part of the Giresun mountain range in northeastern Turkey, 2000–2300 m above sea level. The aim of the study is to determine the natural environmental characteristics in tor formation and to reveal the effect of bedrock on tor formation. During field studies, 18 tors were selected by noting location, size and structural features, and dimensions were measured. Thin sections were first made from the rock samples taken from the tors and then the mineralogical composition was investigated by modal analysis method. As a result of this analysis, it was determined that the bedrock forming the tors is granite. During the field observations, it was determined that the intersecting vertical joints supported the formation of castle-like tors, while the horizontal joints supported the formation of pita pile-shaped tors. There are also pseudokarstic shapes resembling kamenitza and karst pavement. In conclusion, joint sets causing local resistance differences directed the formation of tors, while excess slope affected surface erosion and suitability of climate conditions-controlled weathering rate.
