https://jasstudies.com/?mod=sayi_detay&sayi_id=599 The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies en 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28479 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28479 Rüştü YEŞİL In our research, it is aimed to investigate the mediating role of college students' intrinsic and extrinsic life purpose related to their hopes and psychological well-being. The study has been carried out with 511 university students including 269 (52.6%) women and 242 (47.4%) men that have studied at different faculties of a state university in Turkey. “The Domain Specific Hope Scale” developed by Sympson (1999) and adapted to Turkish by Özbay, Terzi and Aydoğan (2011); “Psychological Well-being Scale” developed by Diener and his colleagues (2009, 2010) and adapted into Turkish by Telef (2011; 2013) and “Life Purpose Scale” developed by İlhan (2009) have been used. The technique as regression-based mediator macro which has been offered by Preacher ve Hayes (2008), has been used to determine the mediating role of intrinsic and extrinsic life purpose in the relationship between hope and psychological well-being. Sobel Z and bootstrapping have been used in evaluating the indirect effects. Descriptive statistics of variables were determined before mediation tests, and correlations between variables were analyzed by Pearson’s Product-Moments Correlation analysis. When we look at correlational findings, moderate positive relationships have been found between psychological well-being and hope and intrinsic, extrinsic life purpose. Nevertheless, it has been determined that both of intrinsic and extrinsic life purpose are significant predictors of psychological well-being. According to mediating results it has been found that both of intrinsic and extrinsic life purpose have mediated the relationship between hope and psychological well-being partially. As a result, it can be said that an increase in students' hopes increases their intrinsic and extrinsic life purpose, and with this increase their psychological well-being can be strengthened. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28471 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28471 Tuğba SARI, Musa YILDIRIM The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between gratitude and mental well-being, and some demographic variables (gender, socio-economic level, grade point average, perceived religiosity level). Research data were collected from 694 university students through online questionnaires in the survey. 490 of these participants (70.6%) were female and 204 (29.4%) were male and the average age was 21.40. The Gratitude Scale was used to measure gratitude and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale was used to measure mental well-being. Kruskal-Wallis Test was used to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference between the scores. The Mann Whitney U Test was used to determine which groups differed. According to the results of the analysis, it was found that the mental well-being level of the group with a high level of gratitude was higher than the middle and low level of gratitude and at the same time the mental well-being level of the group with a mean level of gratitude was higher than the group with low. Another research finding is that the level of gratitude differs according to perceived level of religiousness. It is found that as the perceived level of religiousness increases and the level of gratitude also increases. Besides, it was determined that the level of gratitude of the groups with different grade point averages differed. According to this, the level of gratitude of i 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28444 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28444 Mecit ASLAN, Mustafa SAĞLAM The purpose of this study is to evaluate teaching practice course in terms of mentor teachers. The present study was conducted in accordance with sequential exploratory mixed method design. Stufflebeam’s Context, Input, Process and Product Evaluation Model (CIPP) was used as curriculum evaluation model. Firstly, the quantitative data of the study was collected from 314 mentor teachers in four cities (İzmir, Diyarbakır, Konya, and Van) in Turkey. Secondly, qualitative data was obtained by semi-structured interviewing with 18 mentor teachers training in Van. A survey and a semi-structured interview form were used as data collection tools. SPSS and nVivo packet programs were performed in the analysis of obtained data. Descriptive statistics were used to analiyze the quantitative data and descriptive technique was used to analyze qualitative data. Miles & Huberman (1994) reliability formule was used in the analysis of qualitative data, and the correspondence between the coders was determined as 89.9%. As a result of the study, it was revealed that teaching practice course is generally useful even though there are some halting points in context, input and process of the course. Depending on the results, it is suggested that the duration of teachin practice should be increase, more measurement and assessment studies should be done, and as well as ongoing studies, school-family cooperation activities, administrative studies and social-cultural activities should be done in the process of teaching practice. In addition, it is necessary to reduce the number of student teachers in the responsibility of teachers and instructors. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28501 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28501 Oğuzhan KIRDÖK, Songül YANAR In this research, the influences of career beliefs, gender and academic success on career value predictors of adolescents at high school were aimed. This is a descriptive study designed as a general screening model. The study was conducted with 264 high school student (147 female and 117 males) at 10th, 11th, 12th grades. The age range of study group was 14-18. The grade averages and academic achievement of the students were taken into consideration. The data related from Career Beliefs Inventory (Ulu, 2007), Career Values Scale (Atli, 2012), Personal Information Form which was prepared by the researcher. In addition to them, the data of the students, academic achievement were obtained from E-Okul. At the analysis of data, Arithmetic mean, Standard deviation, Multiple linear regression analysis, Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficient were used. According to the findings of the research, it was seen that career beliefs, gender, and academic achievement was significant predictor of team, physical, leadership, gain, creativity and help career values of students. But was not significant predictor of friendship, freedom, and health career values. Finding showed that the important career value for students is gain. While the level of academic success is increasing, importance of physical and team work career value is decreasing. Also male students reck the leadership career value more than the female students; with it female students reck the helping career value more than the male students. The results was discudded with the literature findings. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28408 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28408 Enver Durualp, İsmail DOĞAN The purpose of this study is to investigate the factor structure and psychometrical feature of the citizenship perception scale which was developped to determine the citizenship perception of eighth grade students. For this aim by reviewing literature and taking some expert’s opinions, perception expressions that are placed in the pretesting form were determined. İn this study, expert opinions were obtained about content validity of the survey and it was decided to use exploratory factor analysis. Validity and reliability study of the scale includes 349 female, 323 male, totally 672 volunteer student who studies at the secondary schools that was chosen by using the simple randomised sampling method in the Çankırı city centre at 2013-2014 school year. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis it is seen that the scale includes 38 items and concentrated on two factors. The name of ‘democratic citizenship’ and ‘conventional citizenship’ are given to the factors according to the contents of the items. According to the results of the reliability analysis, it was determined that, internal consistency related to total (?=0.80), democratic citizenship (?=0.87) and conventional citizenship (?=0.68) is high. Eventually it was determined that the citizenship perception scale is valid and reliable in evaluating the citizenship perception of eighth grade students. Based on this findings, citizenship perception scale can be used to measure the citizenship perception of eight-grade students. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28496 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28496 Mehmet Fatih KAYAN, Abdullah ADIGÜZEL The aim of this study is to bring together the studies that have been done in Turkey to reveal similarities and differences between teacher training program standards and accreditation, and study to determine the contributions of these studies to the field and their quantifiable data between the years of 1999-2014.In this study, 27 studies have been examined that have been done in Turkey in the field of program standards and accreditation in teacher education by type, method, pattern and data collection tool. Also brief summaries of studies have been included to our research. The studies that have been included in the research were carried out between 1999 and 2014.15 studies were scientific articles, 4 studies were Master’s theses and 8 of them were Ph.D. dissertations. 11 of the studies used the qualitative method, 14 of the studies used the quantitative method and 2 of the studies used a combination of both. According to the studies that have been included in this research it is important to have program standards in teacher’s training. However, it is striking that there are serious shortcomings in the implementation of standards in faculties.Particularly, it is seen as a major deficiency that the teacher candidates do not have to be qualified to any standards in admission to the education faculties. It is seen that in Turkey, cooperation between universities and the schools that host teachers-in-training is very important in teacher’s education as it is in the western countries. However, there are serious problems and deficiencies in observing and following up with teacher candidates that are sent from the education faculty to the practicum school and evaluating their proficiency.Additionally, the quality standards that are met by curriculum, professors, students, facilities, libraries and equipment, and management create the foundation of the accreditation system in western countries, which are lacking in Turkey. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28469 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28469 Gamze MUKBA, Fulya CENKSEVEN ÖNDER In our research, it is aimed to investigate the mediating role of college students' intrinsic and extrinsic life purpose related to their hopes and psychological well-being.

Mahmud Kashgari gives us much valuable information such as the geography of the Turkic tribes, court customs and popular beliefs, social life, ethnic structuring, tribal organisation, language, dialectal usages, cultural status, history etc. throughout the 11th century. The work of Kashgari is a unique source for Turkology with all these aspects. In his work, Kashgari states that, “I have travelled throughout their cities and steppes, and have learned their dialects and their rhymes; those of the Turks, the Turkmen-Oghuz, the Chigil, the Yagma, and the Qirqiz”. According to the information which Kashgari stated about Turkic homelands, his work can be characterized as a book of travel. In this article, Kashgari is studied as a traveller and how he draws the borders of the 11th century Turkic world. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28421 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28421 ADNAN OKTAY The adventure of writing in Turkish language goes back to very old eras. Gokturk alphabet is highly appropriate for Turkish language and it has reached to saturation level. However, there was a period which could be named the fatrat of Turkish literary (weakness or numbness of Turkish literary), especially after coming of the Turks to Anatolia. Some poets and writers who wrote in Anatolia during this period expressed their apologies and embarrassment for writing in Turkish. Staying away of these people from the Turkish language and their approach which Turkish seen as a language of ordinary people are sings of existence of periodical and historical negative approaches. Ashiq Pasha who lived most of his life in the 13th century, complained about lack of interest of people to Turkish language on his work entitled Garib-nama. Also, Ali Sheer Nawai continued his life as a man with a cause and conscious until the end of his life with the efforts of writing in Turkish language in Chagatay area in 15th century. Nawai’s great manuscript which entitled Muhakamatu'l-lugatayn shows his efforts for Turkish language. He was an awareness man andsome great poets like Husain Bayqara or Molla Abdurrahman Cami tried to even insist him on the matter of writing poets with Persian language. This shows how the environment and intellectual factors were dominant on the poets. Turks have continued their lives with small or large groups in a wide geographical area began from India to Egypt; from Central Asia to the west of Anatolia and even up to the Balkans in this period. What are the reasons behind unpopularity and exclusion of Turkish language? Why poets and writers had such these perceptions? What such these thoughts signs for? All these questions will be answered in this study. Intertextual reading method was used in this study. The Turkish classics and manuscript texts of the period from 13th century until the 16th century in Anatolia were examined. Stated questions were answered from these detected relevant examples. Therefore, there has been seen such reasons like seasonal political events, the actual power of Arabic and Persian literature in the literacy places and science, the forms of the life of the Turks etc. These reasons were effective on the formation of these thoughts. This negative image in some period has affected the poets and writers to write in Turkish even if they are enthusiastic. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28373 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28373 Ahmet Turan SİNAN, Semra CİNTOSUN Nezihe Meriç, one of the most important female writers of Turkısh Literaure, received the prize of Sedat Simav Literature in 1998 with the story book called as “Yandırma”. The subject of the article is identify the idioms in Meriç’s Yandırma, which is one of our female writers who use Turkısh well and to classify them according to their structure and consept one as. İdioms are pattern expresssions in the vocabulary of a language such as proverbs, reduplications, relation words. At leastt two words are searched for in the formation of the idioms. It is possible that the words that make up the idiom are formed in the form of very different elements of linguistic information. Like names and adjectives.At least one of the words that bring the idiom took a fiixed form by gaining connotation due to being used out of real means. Thus a new semantic structure emerges. They became aesthetical by using again and again by different layers of society before the written date of a nation. The common language understanding of the society comes here again. Many cultural elements, beliefs, traditions are possible to find in the idioms. The idioms that are considened by the researchers as the advanced subjects of a language are artistic expressions. İt is possible to find both the stops of Turkish folk poetry and the aesthetic rhythmical voice repetitions. In some idioms, the meaning is forgotten, and archaic words are also encountered. Some words may change in form. İdioms are indispensable language elements in speach and in writing. İt is a new meaning that many words come together. İt is a conceptual field. There is a functional aspect in transmission and formation of thought. İn this context, the texts in the mentioned work were scanned and the idioms were determined in terms of structure and conceptual field. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28514 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28514 Mehmet ÖZDEMİR Abdullah Efendi from Bosnia explained one of the couplets of Mesnevi of Rumi at the end of his work “Tercüme-yi Makâsıd-ı Envâr-ı Gaybiyye”, and was known as “Şarih-i Füsûs” because of explaining the sufistic work of Ibnu’l-Arabi called “Füsûsu’l-Hikem”. Abdullah Efendi firstly emphasized the name “Allah” based on the word “el-ma’nâ huvallâh” in the couplet ““Guft el-ma’nâ huvallâh şeyh-i dîn / Bahr-i ma’nîhâ-yı Rabbu’l-‘âlemîn” in the first volume of the Mesnevi. In this respect, the name “Allah” is a comprehensive name that includes the meanings of all the other beautiful names of Allah; and is unique in that it indicates to the Entity of Allah. The name “Allah” disciplines and corrects the copies and originals of the visible entities in the universe in the scope of the Divine Name which refers to the originals and copies of the entities at a 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28437 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28437 Münire BAYSAN Beginning primary school, which is the first serious step in educational life, is one of the significant turning points in children's life. There are some pre-school practices for the child to start a new life with joy and energy and to achieve a steady success in this life. One of these is “Bad-i Basmala” or “Amen Parade” tradition. This ceremony, which has been practiced since the time of the Ottoman Empire, was carried out for children aged four to five years at that time. Children who are at the age of starting school were introduced to the education life with ceremony and prayer in the presence of a crowded group. Nowadays, this ceremony is practiced at least one week before schools are opened, when children reach the age of official education. Children who are dressed in clean and ornamented clothes and riding a phaeton with prayers in the old period are now dressed in school uniforms and taken out of their homes again with prayers. Saints entombed in the city are visited with vehicle convoys formed by the family members and they pray for them. The purpose of this practice, which has deep roots in culture, is to make it fun to start the school, to help the children to start their education life with joy, to overcome school fear and to feel the value of education. To bring family elders, relatives and friends together for the children who will start school, to present gifts to them and to provide spiritual support for their success in education are also among the purposes of this practice. These ceremonies, which were practiced in the past and are tried to be performed today, are extremely important in that the society shows the importance of studying and education. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28584 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28584 Sevim KARABELA ŞERMET Fakir Baykurt name in Turkish literature attracts attention with its works after 1950. Fakir Baykurt, one of the pioneers of the title of "Village Novel" in particular, is the writer of life and literature. The village novel in Turkish literature is popular from the beginning of the 1950s until the end of the 1970s. It is to illuminate the village and peasant life of the main aim of the works of Fakir Baykurt. Fakir Baykurt is an important name for Turkish literature as far as Turkish education is concerned. Fakir Baykurt has been a teacher throughout his life, but has long played an active role in union activities conducted by teachers, not content with the role of teacher / writer in life. He has been a founder and administrator for a long time within the movement of Turkish Teachers Union (TÖS) which is the first teacher organization. The name of the poor Baykurt is important not only for the history of literature but also for the History of Turkish National Education and History of Turkish Trade Unionism. It is known that Fakir Baykurt, which guides teachers in a sense by pioneering the organization of teachers, assumes a primary role in the struggle that teachers engage in. The village institutes that shape his life and the union activities that he engages in during his teaching career have been a great influence on the life as well as in the private life. In this study, the definition of a teacher-writer within the organization movement of Fakir Baykurt and his reflection on his works will be revealed. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28537 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28537 Melahat ÇEVİK Education continues throughout life. However, the training in formal learning is more efficient and of high quality; It contains endless research. Generally, research is conducted on the basis of statistical data. The individual is educated in his / her life, but may encounter some communication problems in school format. In this respect new and living solutions are necessary. The feasibility of these solutions is the solution; puts the bond with life. The non-living solution does not work. Art is one of the most appropriate learning solutions, especially since it imitates life in a way. How and how to use the artistic in the education and learning process depends on the individual characteristics and the purpose of education. In the light of this data, we are investigating how to use art in the cultural structure but it is insufficient. It is necessary to study how art education should be used for each individual as a learning tool of art. They need to study the individual needs of the data obtained from this care, not the mass. Applicability is problematic given the population dynamics of such studies. But maybe it is applicable in special education, or in special classes that are compulsory. The healing aspect of art is a tested reality. It is especially easy for individuals with bodily competence to perform. However, in the case of physically handicapped individuals, physical therapies in practice can produce solutions as well as they can be offered as an alternative in their recovery. The introduction of physical therapies into the inner world of the individual can also be facilitated by the artistic 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28546 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28546 Şeyma ERSOY ÇAK Gender theories point a structure where heteronormative order and/or the concepts that stay out of it are associated with each other or positioned through each other, with its content that embraces all gender-themed ideas, concepts, and cultural elements. Following the 19th century, some theoretical and conceptual approaches (gender, feminism, queer) have been developed in the academic field in order to criticize behavioral patterns imposed upon gender identities according to cultural or social data and to express rights or inequities observed based on gender within social life. With feminism, in the 1960s women's advocacy was predominant, and in the 1980s the equality of men's and women's rights gained importance, and in the 1990s the search for rights was also included in the work. The common problem can be defined as the acceptance of the existence of 'otherized' individuals within society and the struggle to reach equal conditions. "New York Musicology Community" founded in America in 1930 has provided service for the field of musicology with the name “American Musicology Community” in 1934 as a cultural movement and included the topic of gender which is discussed as an inherent part of musicology to its scope of research. In the study, the relation between musical practices and gender theories are searched through the examples within the scope of musicology and ethnomusicology disciplines. Literature of gender and music were written in Europe, America, and Turkey are examined to learn about the scope of the studies, the close tie between the music performance, as an important part of cultures, and gender theories are conveyed with research examples through the data obtained, the effect of gender theories and research findings are evaluated in studies linked with music. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28518 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28518 Avnullah Enes ATEŞ Knowing the author’s style contributes greatly to the understanding of the these studies. For this reason some authors refer briefly to the style they follow in their forewords. In some studies, it is enough to give the necessity to write his study, not to mention the point about style. Zemahshari (d. 538/1144) did not mention some of the styles he followed in his book Kashaf. One of these is the tamrez (???????) forms used in the study. These patterns, which are sometimes used in the transmission of the news, show the weakness of the narrations according to the hadith method. Because the common feature of these patterns is that it is not known to whom the news belongs. However, knowing the owner of the verse is an important influence in the evaluation of the quality of the verb. For this reason, in Islamic sciences, these patterns have been used to convey unacceptable or undesirable translations and interpretations. Since the authors can not pass on these without mentioning them, they convey these views with their comments on the weakness. However, we believe that Zemahshari does not use these forms exactly in this sense. In this article examines the purposes of Zemahshari’s use of tamrez forms in his book and how they can be distinguished from each other. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28557 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28557 Yaşar ACAT Proverbs are words that give a certain judgment , advice and left us from our ancestors and anonymous. Proverbs and idioms are important items between language and culture. Every society has unique proverbs and idioms. They give clues about the lifestyle, language, culture, morality and customs of the society. Anatolian geography has become a place where dozens of languages have been spoken and lived since the beginning of history. The unknown thing is that these lands have become a hiding place for many archaic languages and dialects. Undoubtedly, a significant part of this cultural heritage constitutes Arabic dialects spoken in Anatolia. The researches about the Anadolu Arabic with his different dialects and accents, have started recently. It is obvious that there are many similar and diffrent matters between the Mhallemi dialect which is spoken in Midyat and its surroundings and the Arabic dialect spoken in Siirt and its surroundings and also thought as a highly rooted dialects of Arabic. The proverbs and idioms, remained until today, of the Siirt Arabs and Mhallemies who live in two different parts in close proximity to each other of the Al-Jazeera region, give important clues to understand the degree of closeness between the two dialects of Anatolian Arabic. In this academic notice, we will compare the proverbs and idioms that are still used vividly in Midyat and its surroundings with the proverbs and phrases used in and around Siirt, and try to reveal their similar and different characteristics. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28420 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28420 Gülistan EKMEKÇİ Yunus Emre was a great poet who contributed to the creation of the love language by reflecting his sincerity on his poems, made a magnificent mark on Turkish literature thanks to this characteristic of him. Yunus Emre’s literary characteristics that were overshadowed by determining the Qur’an’s verses and hadiths in Yunus Emre’s Poetry will be studied. It is seen that Yunus Emre, engraining love to people, supported his messages with a 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28442 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28442 Muhammed Aslan The hadith method, practiced since the exilic first century and recorded since the late second century, assesses and limits the rules and methods related to the documents and texts in hadiths, the qualifications of the deferent and the hadith concepts. One of the important concepts that is evaluated and limited in the hadith methodology is the concept of the münker hadith. In the dictionary, the notion of "münker" is described as "ugly, evil, unreasonable, denied, or every act that the authentic mind considers bad", and defined in several ways related to the hadith. Also, like the Qur'an and the hadith, it has been used several times in the basic Islamic sources, obtaining a religious meaning close to its lexical meaning. Münker hadith that has direct or indirect associations with other hadith types such as the known (ma’ruf) hadith, şaz hadith, muallel hadith and garip hadith has been used since the late second century. The meaning of the term munker hadith had a tendency of expansion and sometimes narrowing in time and it is the most defined type of hadith. The oldest known definition was found in Yahya b. Said al-Kattan (dated 198/813) and was finalized by Ibn Hajjar (d. 852/1449) as "the münker hadith is the hadith that was related by the weak deferent as opposed to the just deferent." During the seven centuries between the exilic second and ninth centuries, münker hadith was used in at least seven meanings as far as we could establish. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28452 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28452 Abdullah YILDIZBAŞI, Ayşe EDİZ , Esra BAYTEMUR Nowadays, both in the world and in Turkey, businesses tend to work more consciously on occupational health and safety. Since a good Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) system will increase production efficiency due to work efficiency. OHS aims to ensure that working conditions in the workplace are carried out in health and safety and those employees are physically and mentally protected from the hazards that may arise during work and provide legal, technical and medical precautions in the workplace in line with this goal. The OHS Management System is used to help businesses achieve their goals and to ensure that health and safety work is compatible with the overall strategy of the business. Frequent evaluation of the system's performance is crucial to the effectiveness and efficiency of the business. In this study, the performance criteria of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System are considered. Firstly, 80 performance indicators to be evaluated by examining OHSAS-18001 and ISO 45001 Management Systems have been determined. These are summarized in 5 main sections as Policy, Organization, Planning and Implementation, Evaluation. Then these performance indicators were evaluated together with experts who were working in the field of Occupational Health and Safety and who were defined as Decision Makers in the study and numerical data were obtained through the binary comparison surveys. Key performance indicators were determined by evaluating the numerical data obtained using the AHP method. As a result, using the AHP method, rather than using all of the 80 performance indicators set for the Occupational Health and Safety Management System performance measurement, the feasibility of performance measurement with the key performance indicators obtained has been examined. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28396 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28396 Aslı ALBAYRAK, Erhan ÖRNEK Thermal tourism facilities play an important role in lifting difficulties caused by aging, desire for health protection and improvement and treatment of some diseases. The fact that the thermal facilities, which are based on very ancient pasts and used as baths in the beginning, have started to be used as treatment centers when benefits of health have been understood over time. Today, in the point reached, thermal facilities are used both as a health center and as a center of rest and relaxation. Due to its geological structure, there are many thermal facilities in Turkey that have emerged due to many underground sources. One of the old ones is the Yalova-Armutian term.This survey was conducted in order to state customer satisfaction and customers revisit intention existent Yalova-Armutlu region, according to results give suggestions for increase customer satisfaction, and increase customer revisit intention. Survey technique was utilized from the quantitative research methods. Survey data were collected between dates of 06 January 2017-15 April 2017 from 300 thermal tourist who visit Yalova-Armutlu. For data analysis Factor analysis, Kruskal Wallis H test, Mann Whitney U Test and Regression analysis were used.

The deep cultural, social, and political traditions that they had made them an influential actor. Although they were organized in a form of state in Iran geography for a long time, they lost their organization since 1925. They were exposed to segregation and assimilation policies under the Iran government. Their ethnic identities, culture, language, and way of life were aimed to be forgotten with oppression. Despite all kind of the oppressions, Southern Azerbaijan Turks succeeded to survive and maintain their existence by the virtue of their national conscience. Southern Azerbaijan Turks had an influential dynamic of social movement in the historical process. They have been organized for different targets and aims since the beginnings of 1900s. They organized acts reflecting their claims for identity and culture. The social movement, which is gathered under the same roof with Southern Azerbaijan National Movement, transformed the matches of Traktör (Traxtur) football team into a social act. This kind of act, which is called as political football tactics, plays an important role for the Turks living in a closed and confined political area. The most important role of the Traktör football team is the creating process of geopolitical imagination of the young generation in the process of socialization. Discourses and spatial representations are used while creating this imagination. This discourse and spatial representations are visually represented with acclaims, marches, banners, clothing, and hand signs. In this study, it was aimed to analyze the discourses and spatial representations during the matches of Traktör football team as an act of social movement. In this respect, critical geopolitical approach was used as a base. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28511 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28511 Bülent ÖNGÖREN, Hüseyin SARIEFE , Yasemin BALCI Adolescence, seen as a transition to adulthood, is a developmental period that has its own unique characteristics. There are significant biopsychosocial changes during this period. Adolescents who have difficulty adapting to changes can experience problems in their emotions and behavior. The fact that the change is faster than the other developmental periods causes the risky behaviors to be seen intensely during adolescence period. Risky behaviors are behaviors that can affect young people's health, well-being and their lives and have negative consequences. Investigation of risky behaviors is thought to make an important contribution in terms of understanding adolescents. The aim of the research is to evaluate high school students, that is, adolescents, in terms of risky behaviors. The survey covers 4254 of 10th and 11th grade students in Muğla. Systematic sampling was used in the study. Ethics committee has been granted. Demographic Information Form and Risky Behavior Scale (RDS) were used in the study. Assessment was made on the subscales of risk behaviors scale, antisocial behaviors, smoking, alcohol use, suicide tendency, eating habits, school dropout and drug use risks. There was a significant relationship between demographic variables and gender, age, parental education and academic achievement and subscales of RDS. In general, academic failures, male, older students with higher income families with their children's antisocial behaviors, smoking, alcohol use, eating habits and drug use there are risks. However, suicide tendency was found in women, and the risk of school dropout was determined in lower income group. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28332 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28332 Fatih USLU, Fatih ÇOLAK Having been defeated by the Second World War, Germany has acted toreinforcethestate with out losingits time and began to developits industry.

Organizational culture may allow or filter mobbing attitudes Formative relationships between organizational culture and employee structure determine the nature of the interaction between leaders and members. Therefore, the interaction between different leaders and members in different organizational cultures may be different .In this context, this study has examined the intermediary role of leader-member interaction on the relationship between organizational culture and mobbing. To this end, data were collected from 223 workers working in textile enterprises in the city of Bitlis by interview technique. According to research findings, the type of bureaucratic organizational culture, one of the organizational culture types, has a positive effect on mobbing whereas Innovative Culture and Supportive Cultural have no significant effect on it. According to the analysis result, the Bureaucratic Culture and Supporting Culture have a positive influence on the Leader-Member Interaction, however the Innovative Culture has no significant effect on it. The Leader-Member Interaction, whose organizational culture types mediation effect was studied, has been analyzed together and the effects of the variables on mobbing have been viewed. It has been seen that the bureaucratic culture type continues its effect on mobbing, however the beta coefficient (ß = 0.438) has decreased to 0.381 (p 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28475 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28475 Rıfat KARAKUŞ, İsrafil ZOR , Şeyma YILMAZ KÜÇÜK The aim of this study is to determine internal factors affecting profitability in commercial banks comparatively for domestic and foreign banks. In this study, panel data analysis was performed by using the data between 2006 and 2015 of 12 domestic and 17 foreign capital commercial banks. In order to express profitability in the study, return on assets, return on equity and net interest margin are used as dependent variables. As a result of the study, in which ten internal factors were determined as independent variables, both differences and similarities of internal factors affecting profitability in domestic and foreign commercial banks are established. Asset size, equity to total assets, loan loss provisions to total loans and non-interest incomes to total assets affect return on assets positively in domestic banks while non-interest expenditures to total assets affects negatively. In foreign banks, equity to total assets and non-interest income to total assets affect return on assets positively. The asset size and equity to total assets also affect the return on equity for domestic and foreign banks positively. Moreover, for domestic banks non-interest income to total assets domestic banks and for foreign banks liquid assets to total assets are the other factors affecting the return on equity in the positive direction. Finally, equity to total assets and loan loss provisions to total loans are the factors that have a positive effect on the net interest margin for the domestic and foreign banks. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28643 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28643 Sevilay USLU DİVANOĞLU Political campaigns are a series of events organized to reach elections and win their support. Moreover, within the complexity of political space, political campaigns support the political communication process as a result of the efforts of recruited parties and political candidates to support the election. In the process of political communication, it is necessary to identify and observe the political actors, in other word political determinants, that give symbolic credibility to political events. Being observers of political campaigns, the determinants involved in the political communication process are obliged to provide voters with information about the ideology, program, goals and principles of the political formation they are in. In this direction, voters are more informed when performing voting behavior. In addition to benefiting from the political marketing of voters to satisfy their wishes, needs and expectations, there are also benefits in terms of knowing what factors constitute voters' political preferences. One of them is to develop marketing staff. The other one is that it shows how voters can be directed (İslamoğlu, 2002: 81). In this direction, by determining the factors underlying the preferences of the voters. voters are trying to develop positive attitudes towards a particular party. For this reason, political marketing requires the formation of voter behavior and the actors that influence it. These actors can be considered as political parties, political power, public opinion, political market, pressure groups, voters, ideology, political participation, lobbying that take place directly in the political process. These political determinants pioneered the execution of political campaigns that took place during the political marketing process. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28607 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28607 Yasin KELEŞ, Melike ÇAKIR KELEŞ University preference is one of the most important determinants of an individual's business life. In this respect there are many elements to be considered when making department preferences in the university. One of these elements is an individual's personality. The department preference an individual makes in accordance with their personality traits plays an important role in the education process and their employment in the field they trained as well as the success in business life. It is important for the tourism professionals to have certain personality traits , because it is required to interact with people from different cultures, communicate well with them and displaying emotional effort. The purpose of this research is to determine the personality traits of the students who are studying at undergraduate level in Turkey and to present suggestions in the future of tourism education. In this context, a questionnaire consisting of five dimensions including openness, extroversion, self-discipline, compatibility and emotional balance was applied to 828 students who had undergraduate tourism education in 8 universities within the framework of five factor personality theory. The obtained data were analyzed with statistical package program. According to analysis, it is found that experiential openness and self-discipline dimension express the highest personality trait, while the lowest personality trait is the emotional balance dimension. The results of the t test and the one-way analysis of variance for the independent samples in order to determine the differences according to the demographic characteristics of the students revealed that the self discipline dimension differs according to the education class and the emotional balance and the experiential openness dimensions differ according to the income status of the families of the students. The findings of the study and its results have been evaluated in the context of the future of tourism education. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28586 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28586 Şerif Ahmet DEMİRDAĞ, Nazik ÇELİKKANAT The tourism for potential countries has numbers of important functions such as income generating, employment, providing the foreign trade balance, regulating the international relations, raising the national income per capita and helping to preserve of historical and natural heritage. The sustainability and healthy development of such an important sector, depends on the quality and diversity of the services which provided in tourism sector. And to provide the quality service is directly proportional with the employment of specialized, educated and qualified workforce. In addition, employees who provide a high level of satisfaction from their work are often individuals who are depending to organization, work efficiently and adopting organizational goals and objectives. As a matter of fact, the first way to keep the qualified workforce in terms of organizations is to satisfy the members of the organization. In terms of tourism sector and tourism education, it is very important that the satisfaction provided by trainees of associate and undergraduate students especially the students who are educated at the high school education level which constitutes the core of the industry. Generally, students who meet with the tourism sector the first time by internship are planning their career also in this direction. Out of here, the aim of this study is try to present the likely effects of job satisfaction on the career expectations of the sector by examining the other studies carried out in the sector by emphasizing the importance of job satisfaction provided in internship by the tourism students who in the core state and will constitute the qualified labor sector. Hereby, it is aimed to inform about the tourism education given in tourism high schools, emphasizing the importance and theories of job satisfaction and providing information about career concept. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28521 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28521 Pınar AKARÇAY The main aim of this study is to discuss unbearable weight of the issue being late regarding political, social and economic aspects related to the recognition by Turkic World of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus which is located as an independent Turkish Republic in the most south part of Turkic World. Thus there are 7 Turkic states, 13 autonomous Turkic Republic, nearly 50 Turkic society all around the world today, and they totally have a population more than 300 million. Turkish is the 5th biggest spoken language on earth and it is spoken as mother-language by the Turks settled in the middle and western Europe as well as all across Middle Asia, Caucasus, Anatolia and Thrace. Thus it is necessary that this robust power should burden leading roles as a global actor, and in line with this issue, significant and affective strategic projects should be implemented among both states and non-governmental organizations. Instead of past superficial or ineffective cooperation, it is necessary not to be late anymore for exploring vision-wide and supportive works and deeds in the Turkic World today. Thus putting forward the negations created by the lateness of the problematic of this study also clarifies urgency for the integration process between TRNC and Turkic World. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=27969 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=27969 Çağatay KARADENİZ, Gökhan HAMZAÇEBİ It needs to be stated that all social layers have influence on Turkish culture. Specially, the place of Turkish family and cultural circle taking shape around it on our centuries- old culture has been continuously wondered. Turkish family should be mentioned in the studies concerning our cultural life since Turkish family is at the core of Turkish culture. It is not known when Turkish cultural factors come into existence in Giresun and its neighborhoods. However, the studies on this issue take us back thousand of years. In the light of scientific researches done in rural areas of Giresun, it should be underlined that the region contains a great variety of cultural elements. In folklore studies, it is possible to recognize various cultural elements such as literal, religious, historical, social, and musical elements in this region. Especially, the rituals concerning wedding ceremonies in Giresun comprise of various historical richness. Firing guns and the yells during the wedding contain several cultural values. We consider that it will be beneficial to draw attention to some sociologic and folkloric themes in an attempt to determine and evaluate these cultural values. In this way we are of the opinion that the data obtained will be convenient for interdisciplinary content and will be more comprehensive to explain cultural values presented by our study. This study analyzes the socio-cultural effects of the enthusiasm arising from local instrument and music, especially, in village weddings. Moreover, area study and interviews will be utilized to complete the study. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28431 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28431 MELDA AKBABA, Murat TÜRK In this study, it was aimed to determine the influence of perception of talent management on organizational adaptability and intention to leave job in tourism operations. For this purpose, 210 employees were reached through the questionnaire in tourism operations in Muğla province. According to the results obtained from the questionnaire, it was found that there is a moderately significant positive relationship between talent management perceptions and organizational adaptability and negativity a weakly significant relationship with intent to leave job. According to the results of a regression analysis, organizational adaptability and intention to leave job can be explained by the variability of the perception of talent management. In this context, talent management increases organizational adaptability of employees and reduces the intention to leave job tourism operations. Nevertheless, there is no significant difference between the perception of talent management and gender, age, educational status, working time in the tourism sector, department where they are employed who participated in this study. There is no significant difference between the organizational adaptability and gender, age, working time in the tourism sector. But there is significant difference between the organizational adaptability and educational status variable, department where they are employed. In addition, there is no significant difference between the intention to leave job and gender, educational status, the working time in the tourism sector. However, participants' opinions regarding the intention to leave showed a significant difference according to age, the department in which they were employed in this study . 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28572 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28572 Emel SARITAŞ, Süleyman BARUTÇU It is very important that businesses should not be ignored to keep abreast of evolving technology when the contemporary world of communication evolves incredibly and considering the possibilities of using innovations in communication in marketing activities. However, whilst businesses incorporate innovations to their mix of marketing, the identification of the characteristics of the mass that they can reach with these communication elements should be considered as another important field of activity. The age factor, which is considered as the most basic criterion for defining the target group, gives the opportunity to provide more clear information to the businesses when considered as the same living group. Generations have similar thoughts and attitudes because they are influenced by socio-economic events of the same period. In this study, the use of digital communication elements and the attitudes of the generations towards these digital communication elements were analyzed according to the generations. As a result of research that have conducted especially on mobile phone, internet and social media usage; there is no difference in terms of mobile phone use among generations, but it found that there is a difference in terms of internet and social media usage. When assessed differences between generations in terms of attitudes towards messages that businesses use to communicate using digital marketing elements, it is conclude that there is no difference between generations for finding disturbing, safe and convenient but there is difference for informative and amusing attitudes. Within these findings, suggestions are given to business and marketing managers. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28484 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28484 Ömür KARSLI In this article, one of the problems of epistemology, the meaning of intuiton as a source of knowledge, examined especially in al-Ghazali’s philosophy. Intuition is a concept that has found its place in many philosopher’s philosophy from the west to the east in the history of philosophy. Therefore it is possible to find this concept in many names, from Islamic philosophers to 20th. century philosophers. Despite its prevalence, however, it is not clear what is meant by the concept of intuition. One of the examples of this situation is al-Ghazali. al-Ghazali, considered one of the most important representatives of intuitionism in Islamic philosophy, is easily compared with western philosophers by researchers because of the blurring of the concept of intuition. The meaning of the concept of intuition that we compare with the concept of hads is that knowledge is grasped directly. Along with that there are rational, experimental, mystical and aesthetic types of intuition. We have studies the types of intuition in Avicenna and Descartes in order to illustrate these types of intuitions and thus to correctly determine the difference of al-Ghazali’s intuitionism. After studied the relation between intuition and knowledge in Avicenna and Descartes, we discussed al-Ghazali’s critics to mind. The source of the intuitionism that al-Ghazali’s gets from his criticss of mind, is God and al-Ghzali says that certain knowledge comes with the help of God. The intuition that come across in different positions in al-Ghazali is limited even though it is above the knowledge of senses and knowledge of reason. Therefore the intuition in al-Ghazali’s philosophy constitutes a whole together with its source, position and limit. Without considering this whole structure, it is very problematic to compare the intuition of al-Ghazali with the other philosopher’s intuitionism. In the article, which I discussed how such comparisons are true, I examined the meaning, kinds and importance of intuition in al-Ghazali and tried to identify the privileged aspects of al-Ghazali’s intuitionism. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28357 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28357 ONUR YILDIZ, Nursen VATANSEVER DEVİREN Geographical indications, holding a place among intellectual and industrial property rights, has significant potential in regional tourism with regards to marketing of local products and local values. Geographical indications provide local products, which can respond to changing demands of tourism in the context of today's search for alternative tourism, to be presented to the tourists and ensure the conservation of these products. Geographical indications which play an important role in the demand for local values by increasing the attractiveness of them, are also associated with rural development and sustainable tourism by making it possible to protect local products and to transfer them from one generation to the another. The aim of this study is to evaluate the current situation of geographical indications in Mugla with regards to regional tourism and to reveal the existing potential in the context of bringing in registered local products with geographical indications to regional tourism in Mugla. In the study, a SWOT analysis conducted for the province of Mugla through interviews with representatives of relevant institutions. In this context, solution proposals are presented concerning to increase the efficiency of regional products of Mugla with geographical indications in regional, national and international market. According to the results obtained, among the products having geographical indication in Mugla, it is understood that an intensive effort to transform Milas Handmade Carpets and Bodrum Mandarin into a tourist product. In particular, for Milas not being a tourist town and for its handmade carpets not being a agricultural food product, makes it difficult for Milas Handmade Carpets to meet tourists. For Bodrum Mandarin, having historical emotional bond with the locals and for Bodrum being a tourist town, wherefore it carries a higher potential in terms of regional tourism. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28423 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28423 Hale Eda AKDURU, Fatih SEMERCİÖZ The religion concept, which is being discussed since years, exists since the beginning of the communities and reflects usually on people’s attitudes at social enviroment. Especially employees’ ethical values, religious perspectives, manners can be easily understood in the workplace. Although social pressure causes people to be patient against negative consequences as a value at the Turkish Culture, the employee voice which consists of criticising organisation in a proactively way or being participant for organisational businesses can be affected by employees’ religious attitudes. Focusing on employee behaviour which is a main reason for all the organisation to work healthy, employee voice helps managers to measure the degree of some variables like organizational sense of belonging, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behaviour and role behaviour of employees. The religious attitudes has four dimensions like emotional behavioural, relational and cognitive attitudes. It is impossible for an employee not to have stress when there is a conflict between his/her religious attitudes and judgements about the work or workplace. On that condition the responsibility of managers is to determine which dimension of the religious attitudes reflects which kind of employee voice behaviour and to protect conflicts all around the organisation. Accordingly, with this research the relationship between employees’ religious attitudes and employee voice is researched and the results are interpreted at the findings section to make suggestions for the managers. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28552 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28552 Esma SAYIN Born in the town of Qaradagh near Sulaymaniyah in Iraq, Mawlânâ Khâlid-i Baghdâdî (d. 1242/1827) is the founder of 'Khalidiyya' branch of Naqshbandi order. He has gone to Delhi in India and served for Abdullah Dehlavi (d. 1240/1824), a follower of Mujaddidi branch and within only a year, he has received initiation from Naqshbandiyye, Qaderi, Sohrawardi, Kobrawi and Chishti orders and he returned. The purpose of this article is to determine the effect of Khalidism particularly in Bingöl, Hakkâri and surrounding areas. Seyyid Tâhâ, for example, who lived around Hakkâri is deemed to be one of the most important sources attributed by the Naqshbandiyye order to Khâlid-i Baghdâdî (d. 1942). In this sense, there are four important golden chains (silsila) that reached Seyyid Tâhâ-yı Hakkâri. The first one is Esad Erbili that reached Khâlid-i Baghdâdî through Tâhâ el-Harîri and Seyyid Tâhâ (d. 1931). He is one of the important Khalidi sheiks active in Istanbul. Mahmut Sami Ramazanoglu (d. 1984), Muhammet Muhyiddin Efendi of Bolu (d. 1976) Mustafa Hulusi Dinc of Yahyalı are caliphs of this person. The second one is Muhammet Lutfi of Alvar (d. 1956), who is the caliph of Muhammed Kufrevî from Bitlis. Küfrevî reached Khâlid-i Baghdâdî through Seyyid Tâhâ. The third one is Abdulhakim Arvasî chain and through Seyyid Fehim and Seyyid Tâhâ-yı Hakkâri it reached Khâlid-i Baghdâdî. The fourth one is Haznevî chain and it reached Khâlid-i Baghdâdî through Ahmet Haznevî (d. 1949) Ziyaeddîn Fethullah Velknisî, Abdurrahman et-Taği, Sıbğatullah Arvasî and Seyyid Tâhâ. During the era of the son of his caliph Abdulhakim Huseynî, Muhammed Rasheed Erol (d. 1993) this chain has became nationwide in Turkey. In addition, we see that the communication and spiritual connections between Seyyid Tâhâ-ı Hakkâri and his master Mawlânâ Khâlid-i Baghdâdî is very strong. Seyyid Tâhâ never has severed his spiritual ties with his master; while Khâlid-i Baghdâdî always has directed him through warnings, guidance and letters. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28573 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28573 Öznur YÜKSEK, Bahar URHAN TORUN Over the decades there has been ongoing discussion about semantic transfor-mation of popular culture whether it means to the choices of majorities or the directed particular preferences to influence masses. Either way, books are largely regarded as an anti-popular cultural argument. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate from the readers’ point of view whether reading has a relation with culture or popular cul-ture. To point out extent of popular culture influence area, it is crucial to reconsider the book readers’ perspective on bestseller books. The secondary purpose is to draw atten-tion and contribute to the area as the rarity of academic studies grounded from this context. In this sense, in theoretical part of the study, popular culture’s, mass culture’s and the books’ relations with them are detailed with literature survey. And the last part is consisted of in-depth interview analyses with twelve bestseller books readers from Turkey, who prefer to read them beside other types of books, in order to reveal the factors affecting book preferences; reasons of reading bestseller books, and the meaning they attribute to the bestseller books. The most interesting result of the research is seven out of twelve attendees think that frequent appearance on traditional and new communication technologies through advertisements and Public Relations (PR) works make a book bestseller. Thanks to those promotional activities, they believe not all bestseller books deserve major/global attention but meantime they all check bestseller book lists and justify reading those books due to several reasons. So it can be said the attendees are conscious of the ways making a book popular but still cannot resist to common interest in society. 2024-08-29 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28618 https://jasstudies.com/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=28618 Mehmet Akif KARA The problem of poverty became more visible, especially after the 1990s, and became debatable in the "academic" summer. The debates on poverty and impoverishment are also related to the transformation of the state's economic policies. Along with the transition from social welfare state practices to "neoliberal" economic policies, "social policy" has also changed. Globalization and neoliberal policies have led to a gradual shrinking of social politics and a change of meaning. On the other hand, with the "social aid programs", the struggle against poverty has been tried to be continued. However, this "new process" brought with it debates such as impoverishing the poor and increasing social assistance addiction and charity culture. It is also argued that social policy will be reduced to social benefits through the discussions that are discussed in this study. After poverty, social policy and social assistance applications are theoretically addressed, social assistance and its types will be handled through the SYDV (Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundation) example operating in Gümüşhane Province within this theoretical-conceptual framework. 2024-08-29
