The increase in housing prices and rents and the changes in urban spaces and the housing market due to the number of asylum seekers are noteworthy. The civil war that emerged in Syria in 2011 forced people to migrate. With the migration movements, it was inevitable that many problems, especially the need for housing, would arise in many cities of Turkey. The study aims to eliminate the main problems related to spatial insufficiency and local services in the cities receiving migration and to determine how these areas can be evaluated after the migration of asylum seekers to their countries or other countries. Land and housing production, population and household numbers, home ownership, prices, and rent changes in Gaziantep province were investigated, and the development of the city’s planning area, land production, and adequacy of infrastructure services were analyzed. By applying a survey to public and private sector employees and managers of the province, managers of professional organizations, and other stakeholders, the effects of asylum seekers on the city’s economy, saand tial, economic, social, and environmental change were evaluated. According to the research findings, the urban economy’s risks and opportunities have been analyzed. According to the research results, the decisions that need to be made to manage the crises that cities may face in current conditions and new migrations should be evaluated within the scope of sustainable urban land management policies and urban economy. Sustainable urban policies should be developed for the housing problem.

During the implementation phase of the zoning plans, in addition to the creation of residential areas, various social reinforcement areas should be created in order to ensure healthy and orderly urbanization. Municipalities need real estate in order to perform the public services they are responsible for, and use various methods of acquiring real estate unique to them in order to acquire this real estate and implement zoning plans. However, due to the fact that the aforementioned methods of acquiring real estate cannot be applied for various reasons, the practice of abandonment has emerged as a result of the search for different methods by municipalities and real estate owners. In the study, the application of abandonment is considered from the point of view of the real estate owners and municipalities who make abandonment. In addition, the process experienced through the example of a lawsuit filed with the Municipality of Mengen regarding the return of free abandoned areas at the request of the owners was examined. In particular, the problems that occur when Decoupling practices made in the past are subjected to land and land regulation later were examined through sample zoning application in the research part of the study. Since the fact that a large part of the zoning parcels formed as a result of bankruptcy or free abandonment before implementation were constructed, caused them to become shareholders with real estate belonging to the municipality or treasury due to the additional DOP deduction made from these parcels during implementation, the use of real estate belonging to public administrations in this way is considered the most appropriate solution for the owners, but the result is that there is a negative situation that causes the fragmentation of real estate belonging to public administrations.

In the past, steps taken with a sole focus on profit and growth, without considering the limited of natural resources, have led to irreversible negative consequences that we face today. In response, countries aiming to act with greater consideration for the resources of future generations have adopted new strategic approaches such as the circular economy model, sustainable production, sustainable consumption, sustainable development, and zero-waste living. These concepts have frequently been addressed as part of this transition. In line with these approaches, the concepts of circular economy and sustainability -two of the world’s emerging trends- have been discussed both nationally and internationally since the last quarter of the 20th century, and have gained increased theoretical and practical focus since the beginning of the 21st century. The transition from a linear to a circular economy represents a shift from a traditional to a new economic, social, and environmental paradigm. While this transition presents opportunities such as increased efficiency, waste reduction, the emergence of substitute resources, and new employment areas, it also brings challenges such as high costs, inter-country inequalities, and the long process of building societal awareness. In this article, the theoretical foundations of the circular economy model, which is an alternative to the traditional linear economy in order to ensure sustainability, and the global action plans signed by the European Union are examined, and the textile sector, one of the circular economy applications, is discussed.

The research investigates how the cognitive, emotional, and perceptual dimensions of social media advertisements influence consumer behavior. It also examines the significance of advertisement design elements, the effects of demographic factors, the roles of various social media platforms, and the influence of personalization levels on purchase intentions. Data were collected from a sample of 300 social media users across Turkey and analyzed using statistical methods such as correlation, regression, and ANOVA. The findings reveal that while cognitive, emotional, and perceptual dimensions had limited direct influence on purchase intentions, they contributed to the overall effectiveness of advertisements. Advertisement design elements were found to have no significant impact on consumer behavior. Among demographic factors, gender exhibited a significant influence only on the habitual dimension, while age differences were observed in the interactivity dimension. No significant effect was identified for educational level in any dimension. The study also found that the influence of different social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, on purchase intentions was largely similar. Regarding personalization, advertisements aligned with users’ interests significantly enhanced purchase intentions, whereas alignment with personal preferences did not yield a notable effect. These results underscore the complexity of the relationship between social media advertisements and consumer behavior, highlighting the interplay of multiple factors. The findings emphasize the importance of emotional engagement, interest-based personalization, and demographic considerations in shaping effective advertising strategies. This study provides valuable insights for both academic research and practical applications in the field of social media advertising.

In financial markets, the decisions made by investors are influenced by behavioral finance biases rather than strictly adhering to the rational decision-making paradigm outlined by traditional financial theories. At this point, financial literacy plays a critical role in enabling individuals to understand financial concepts and make informed investment decisions.The research focuses on how financial knowledge levels influence individuals' risk perception, decision-making tendencies, and behavioral biases. The data for the study were collected using a quantitative method and obtained from a survey conducted with 129 individual investors. The demographic characteristics of the participants—such as gender, age, education level, and income status—were analyzed.The findings indicate that individuals with higher levels of financial literacy tend to make more rational and predictable investment decisions. Conversely, those with insufficient financial knowledge are more prone to behavioral biases such as loss aversion, overconfidence, and herd behavior. These findings highlight the critical role of financial literacy in investment decision-making and emphasize the importance of financial education programs.As a result of the study, it has been concluded that increasing financial knowledge reduces irrational behaviors and supports more conscious decision-making processes. Therefore, it is recommended that educational and awareness campaigns targeting individual investors be expanded.
