İÇ MEKÂN TASARIMINDA SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR MALZEMELERİN İŞİTSEL KONFOR AÇISINDAN İNCELENMESİ
(Güzel Sanatlar Enstitüsü, 2026) Zeynep Yolcu; İç Mimarlık ve Çevre Tasarımı
This thesis aims to examine the effects of sustainable materials used in interior design on acoustic comfort. The study investigates how natural, renewable, recycled, and environmentally certified materials perform in terms of interior acoustics through a literature-based approach. Within this scope, the relationship between sustainability principles and the components of indoor environmental quality is evaluated with a particular focus on acoustic comfort.
The research methodology is based on document analysis, involving a systematic review of literature on sustainable materials, acoustic performance criteria, and international certification systems. Furthermore, the criteria of programs such as Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), FSC, GREENGUARD, and Cradle to Cradle were examined in relation to material acoustics. Information on selected sample projects was compiled from secondary sources only. Since no primary data were collected, the study does not present original findings; rather, it provides a conceptual evaluation of the contributions of sustainable materials to acoustic performance based on existing literature.
The evaluations indicate that low-VOC products, natural fiber-based materials, and recycled-content acoustic panels offer notable potential not only in terms of environmental sustainability but also in supporting interior acoustic quality. These materials possess characteristics such as sound absorption, reverberation control, and diffusion, all of which contribute to acoustic comfort within interior spaces.
In conclusion, the study demonstrates that the use of sustainable materials is directly related to acoustic comfort and provides a holistic approach that supports user well-being, spatial quality, and acoustic performance in interior design. In this respect, the study contributes to
iv
the development of material-oriented sustainable design approaches within the field of interior architecture.
DESTİNASYON MARKALAŞMA SÜRECİNDE KONUM TABANLI OYUNLAŞTIRMA UYGULAMASI: ELMADAĞ ÖRNEĞİ
(Güzel Sanatlar Enstitüsü, 2026) emel cansu büyükköse; Grafik
In the thesis titled “A Location-Based Gamification Application in the Destination Branding Process: The Example of Elmadağ”, a location-based gamification application was developed within the framework of the opportunities offered by digitalisation and technology, accompanied by qualitative and quantitative research focused on destination branding, which is one of the branding processes. The implementation demonstrates, through comprehensive literature review and survey findings, the particular significance of location-based games for destination branding. In the gamification application, storytelling unique to Elmadağ and Renkliköy, as well as the integration of traditional and local features, position this work as one of the pioneering studies in the field. As highlighted in the study’s significance, research in this area remains limited, and there are no similar studies in Turkey investigating the intersection of destination branding, gamification, and location-based games. The development of location-based gamification mechanics, interface design, and the transmission of region-specific cultural features in the context of destination branding forms a common intersection point for interdisciplinary collaboration among local governments, designers, and fields such as computer engineering.
The first chapter of the thesis examines the conceptual framework, while the second chapter investigates the concept of brand and its related processes. The third chapter addresses destination branding, including examples that encompass the brand and the digital transformation process, such as AR application studies. The main topic of the thesis, location-based games, is explored in the fourth chapter, which considers the effects of game history and culture, and analyses gamification applications—like the widely popular “Pokemon GO”—as elements of destination branding. The fifth and final chapter discusses the development processes of the “Renkliköy MCR” location-based gamification game, presenting findings on user satisfaction based on a survey conducted with 96 participants. The survey results reveal that location-based gamification games are innovative and effective tools for destination promotion and cultural transmission, meeting participants’ expectations to a great extent in terms of entertainment as well as social and cultural dimensions.
In the conclusion, recommendations, and discussion section, the findings obtained are supported by examples from the literature, emphasising the importance and function of location-based gamification applications and their effects in the destination branding process. The contribution of this application both to the region and to the transmission of its cultural values via the interface, in line with national development goals, is explained. In the final part of the thesis, the role of Hacettepe University in the branding of Renkliköy and its contributions to the project are examined in detail; concepts such as design processes, the influence of local stakeholders, support for the local economy, and sustainability constitute the main components of the thesis.
Political Allegory in Animal Dystopias of George Orwell’s Animal Farm and Laline Paull’s The Bees
(Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2025) Çakır, Mehmet Utku; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Two dystopian works, George Orwell’s Animal Farm and Laline Paull’s The Bees allegorise different breeds of animals to criticise and satirise two different political systems, namely the totalitarian oligarchy and the conservative, oligarchic monarchy, and their negative outcomes such as repression, injustice, and inequality among the animal characters in the novels. The author of Animal Farm, George Orwell directly criticises Stalin and his repressive regime in the USSR through a set of farm animals in his novel. He builds analogies between the historical and political figures in the USSR and his human and non-human animal characters to satirise socialism in the Soviet Union. He also presents two types of oligarchies in his novel, which are warring oligarchy and sultanic oligarchy. Whereas Orwell demonstrates the warring oligarchy among human chararacters such as Mr. Jones, Mr. Pilkington, and Mr. Frederick, he presents how a sultanic oligarchy and Napoleon’s totalitarian rule are formed on Animal Farm due to the pigs’ exploitation of the farm animals in his Animal Farm. Unlike Orwell, Laline Paull does not satirise a certain historical period in her novel, The Bees. Even though Paull does not criticise a certain historical period, her work harbours several political themes, events, and allusions such as regicide, massacre, and war that are allegorised through a bee colony. Paull’s totalitarian bee hive, which is composed of upper and lower social classes such as the Queen, Sister Sages, and Floras, is ruled by a conservative, oligarchic monarchy. This political system not only represses the bees, but also causes injustice and inequality among them. Whereas the Sages occupy the ruling positions due to their superior kin, the other bees form the underprivileged class owing to their inferior kin in the hive’s totalitarian regime. Consequently, this thesis claims that creating dystopian environments, Orwell’s classical dystopia, Animal Farm and Laline Paull’s critical dystopia, The Bees illustrate political allegories observed in the political systems, social classes, and the political events they present.
XVII. Yüzyılın İlk Yarısında Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda Köylü-Devlet İlişkileri: Ankara ve Aydın Örneği
(Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2025) Aytunca Arslan, Satiye; Tarih
The Ottoman State built its economy and state order on the traditional agricultural society. For his reason, peasant have a vital role in society in terms of the contitnuity of production and the develeopment of the economy. Because the state tried to guarantee the rights of the peasants with certain laws and contracts, thus wanted to create an atmosphere of mutual trust and loyalty. However, in practice, this order did not work as flawlessly as it might seem. The change, confusion and crisis environment, especially in the late 16th and 17th centuries, brought some problems in peasant-state relations. On the one hand, the peasant, who tried to deal with the bandits, also had to deal with the corruption of local administratos and tax officials. The state on the other hand, tried to ensure the peace and security of the peasants and the society, sometimes by assigning duties and rank to the rebels and sometimes by punishing them.
The aim of this study is to present a different perspective on the peasant-state relotionship through the examples of Aydin and Ankara, based on various sources. Accordingly, the issues of how the developments in the said period were perceived by the peasant-state, what attitudes and strategies were developed in the face of problems, and how this situation affected the social order are examined in a comparative and holistic way.
Post-Hakikat’in İzleri: Adorno’da Hakikat ve Politika
(Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2025) Demircan, Ferhat; Felsefe
This study, drawing on Adorno’s reflections on truth and politics, aims to examine the concept of post-truth and to explore a historical-utopian understanding of truth in response. It centers around questions such as: In the face of the crisis of truth, can critique still open a path to utopia? and Is the idea of truth becoming an instrument of ideological domination and epistemological fragmentation? The first part will present Hegel’s and Marx’s conceptions of history and dialectics, which provide the historical and intellectual background for Adorno’s critique of ideology. Subsequently, Adorno’s critiques of Hegel and Marx, along with his conception of the culture industry developed within the framework of ideology critique, will be addressed. In the second part of the study, in order to understand the relationship Adorno establishes between truth and society, central themes in his philosophy will be examined. This section will interpret Adorno’s notion of utopia, which points beyond a merely hypostatized concept of truth, revealing social tensions and contradictions. The final part will engage with Adorno’s warnings concerning the threat posed by fascist tendencies to democracy in the aftermath of the Second World War. It will demonstrate how economic uncertainty and social anxieties feed populism, and how populism is connected to post-truth. The study will then propose Adorno’s utopia-based conceptualization of truth as a response to the replacement of collective utopias with privatized fantasies of desire, within the nexus of post-truth, the alt-right, populism, and their shared foundation in neoliberalism.
