Taşınmaz geliştirmede değer kestirim analizleri ve İstanbul konut alanı örneğinde bir uygulama
Taşınmaz değerleme; bir taşınmazın, taşınmaz geliştirme projesinin ya da bir taşınmaza bağlı hak ve faydaların belli bir tarihteki olası değerinin, bağımsız, tarafsız ve objektif ölçütler çerçevesinde belirlenmesidir. Taşınmaz değerlemenin ilgi alanlarından biri de taşınmaz geliştirme projeleridir. Bu tezde, taşınmaz geliştirme proje çeşitlerinden biri olan konut geliştirme projeleri üzerinde uygulanabilecek bir risk analiz sistemi ve proje riskini oluşturan en önemli değişkenlerden biri olan birim satış değerinin bilgi yönetimi çerçevesinde belirlenmesine yönelik doğrusal çoklu regresyon modeli geliştirilmiştir.Risk analiz sistemine yönelik olarak, taşınmaz ve konut geliştirme sektörü incelenmiş, Türkiye'de şirketlerin konut geliştirme projeleri kapsamında gerçekleştirmiş olduğu yatırıma yönelik analizler araştırılmıştır. Konut geliştirme pazarında ulusal ve uluslararası durum incelemesi yapıldıktan sonra risk analizinin teorik yapısı oluşturulmuştur.Gayrimenkul yatırım ortaklıklarından elde edilen konut geliştirme proje verileri üzerinde risk analizi çalışmaları yapılmış ve bu analizler sonucunda konut geliştirme yatırımlarında en çok risk oluşturan değişkenler belirlenmiş, konut geliştirme projeleri gerçekleştiren şirketler için riski azaltan bir risk yönetim sisteminin oluşumu araştırılmıştır.Önemli değişkenlerden birisi olduğu görülen birim satış değerinin belirlenmesine yönelik olarak taşınmaz değerleme veri tabanı oluşturulmuş, ulusal bazda bu veritabanının küme değerlemesi ve otomatik değerleme sistemlerine altlık olması amaçlanmıştır. Sermaye Piyasası Kurulu'nca lisans verilmiş değerleme şirketlerinin hazırlamış olduğu değerleme raporlarındaki konut türü taşınmazlara ilişkin veriler, oluşturulan veri tabanına aktarılmıştır. Daha sonra bu veriler düzenlenerek çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi uygulanarak istatistiki bir değerleme modeli oluşturulmuştur.Anahtar Kelimeler: taşınmaz geliştirme, gayrimenkul yatırım ortaklığı, konut geliştirme, risk analizi, risk yönetimi, değerleme, konut değerleme, çoklu regresyon analizi.
Taşınmaz geliştirmenin kuramsal temelleri; arazi geliştirme
Yıllardan beri Türk insanı taşınmazlara yatırım yapmayı sosyal bir güvence aracı olarak görmekte ve bu alana taleplerini yoğunlaştırmaktadır. Sosyal güvence olarak görmelerinin bir çok nedeni vardır. Bu nedenlerden en önemlileri; sosyal güvenlik sistemlerindeki çarpıklıklar, şehirleşme hızının yüksek olmasına bağlı olarak taşınmazlara olan taleplerin artmasına karşın gerekli arzın olmaması, halkın taşınmazlara olan yatınım diğer yatırımlara göre daha karlı olarak değerlendirmesi ve bu yönde hareket etmesi, çoğu alanların rant aracı haline gelmesi ve bu ranttan faydalanma isteği, sahiplenme içgüdüsünün fazla olması vb. olarak sayılabilir. Taşınmazlara talebin yoğun olduğu ülkemizde karlı bir yatırım aracı olarak düşünülmesi gereken taşınmaz geliştirme işi, gerçek anlamda bilimsel ölçütlere, pazarlama ve fınans analizlerine dayalı olarak yapılmamaktadır. Bunun en önemli nedeni gelişmiş bir taşınmaz piyasası ve finans sektörünün olmaması, enflasyonun makul bir orana düşmesine karşın hala istikrarlı olmaması, güvenilir bir arsa ve arazi politikasının henüz oluşmuş olmaması ve refah seviyesinin düşüklüğü sayılabilir. Genelde, Türkiye'de, bir geliştirme işine karar verildikten sonra, geliştirme sürecinde yapılması gerekli olan pazar araştırmaları, fizibilite çalışmaları gibi çok önemli çalışmalar yapılmamakta ve bu çalışmaların yapılamamasından dolayı yeni geliştirilen taşınmazların pazarlanması aşamasında zorluklar yaşanabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada taşınmaz geliştirmenin kuramsal temelleri anlatılmakta; Türkiye'deki mevcut durum ve mevcut durumun eksiklikleri ortaya konulmaya çalışılmaktadır. Türkiye'de yapılan arazi geliştirmeye örnekler verilmiştir. Tezimde ele aldığım konu Türkiye'de yeni bir konu olduğundan yeterli kaynak bulunmamaktadır. Gerek araştırma gerekse hazırlama aşamasında benim için zorlu ve bir o kadar zevkli bir çalışma olduğu kanaatindeyim. Bu alanda yapılacak temel çalışmalar için bir "ilk adım" olarak kullanılabileceğini düşünüyorum.

2014 kadastrosu ve Türkiye yaklaşımı
On yıllık periyotlarda, geleneksel kadastral sistemler kendilerini yenilemek için reformlara ihtiyaç duymuşlardır. 20. yüzyılın sonlarındaki hızlı teknolojik gelişmeler, sosyal değişimler, küreselleşme, yeryüzünün doğal ve kültürel değerlerini yok eden bir sanayileşme, toprağa bakışı değiştirmiş ve yeni kadastro anlayışını ortaya koymuştur. FIG 7. komisyon tarafından ortaya konulan bu yeni anlayış, kadastronun sürdürülebilir kalkınma ve toprak yönetimini destekleyen, bilgi sistemi üzerine kurulmuş, taşınmaz piyasasının gelişim ve denetimini sağlayan, çevresel yönetimi destekleyen ve istatistiksel veri üreten bir yapıda olması gerektiğini öngörmüştür. Bu çalışmada, Kadastro 2014 adı verilen bu yeni kadastral sisteme ulaşmak için mevcut durumun tespit edilmesi, eksikliklerin belirlenmesi, yapılması gereken reformların tespiti, yasal düzenlemelerin belirlenmesi gibi konular incelenmiştir. Türkiye kadastrosunun mevcut durumu, eksiklikleri, yanlışları, kurumsal ihtiyaçları, öncelikle yapılması gereken reformlar ele alınmıştır. Kadastro 2014 ile Türkiye kadastrosu karşılaştırılmış ve bu yeni anlayışa göre Türkiye kadastrosunun yeri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Mevcut sistemin eksik kaldığı konular ve öne çıktığı alanlar tespit edilerek, yeni düzenlemelerin hangi yönde yapılması gerektiği ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.

The relationship of eating awareness with body mass index in individuals going to A sports club
In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between mindfull eating and Body Mass Index (BMI) in participants who go to sports clubs. Data were collected from individuals between the ages of 18-45 who went to Istanbul Göztepe Academy Sports Club by face-to-face interview method. In addition to demographic information, data were obtained using the Mindfull Eating Questionnaire (MEQ)-30. 538 participants, 281 women and 257 men, participated in the study. When the MEQ-30 scores of the participants were examined according to gender, no significant difference was found between the genders in the total score, disinhibition, focus and awareness subscales. Emotional eating and interference were found to be lower in females, while eating control and eating discipline were lower in male participants. Disinhibition and emotional eating scores were found to increase with increasing age. When the MEQ-30 total scores of the participants are analyzed according to the BMI ranges, it is seen that the MEQ-30 results decrease as the BMI value increases. A weak negative correlation was found between MEQ-30 total scores and BMI values. While inhibition, focus, eating discipline, awareness and interference subscale scores were not affected by BMI, emotional eating problem was found to be higher in obese individuals compared to normal weight individuals.In our study, in which individuals who continue to do sports constitute the study population, a relationship was found between lower BMI and eating awareness.

Investigation and comparison of hedonic hunger status of type 1 diabetes and non-diabetic adult individuals
This study was planned to examine and compare the relationship between hedonic hunger status and the Food Craving Questionnaire, Visual Analog Scale, Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, and Palatable Eating Motives Scale in adults who were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and those who were not diagnosed with diabetes. 225 (74.5%) female and 77 (25.5%) male volunteers between the ages of 18-64 who applied to the Turkish Diabetes Foundation in Istanbul between October 2021 and January 2022, were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and were not diagnosed with diabetes included. Participants consisted of 72 adults with type 1 diabetes and 102 without diabetes with a mean age of 18-28 years, 48 adults with type 1 diabetes and 25 with a mean age of 29-39, and 26 adults with type 1 diabetes and 25 non-diabetic adults, with a mean age of 40-64 years. In order to determine the personal characteristics and nutritional habits of individuals, a questionnaire consisting of 28 questions in total, Power of Food Scale (PFS), Food Craving Questionnaire (FCQ), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI) and Palatable Eating Motives Scale (PEMS) were used to collect data. A PFS total score of 2.5 and above, a FCQ total score approaching 234 points increase hedonic hunger, VAS total score approaching 10 points interest in foods such as chocolate, chips, french fries, fast food and pastries, CSEI total score approaching 100 points increasing self-esteem respect, and PEMS total score approaching 5 points indicates the frequency of consumption of delicious foods for non- metabolic reasons. The mean total scores of PFS, FCQ, VAS, CSEI, and PEMS of type 1 diabetics were found to be 2.790.83, 164.7847.72, 5.181.47, 38.833.14, and 1.970.57, respectively. In those without diabetes, the mean total scores of PFS, FCQ, VAS, CSEI, and PEMS were found to be 2.810.89, 165.7445.24, 5.571.54, 38.803.54, and 2.140.70, respectively. There was no significant difference between the scores of individuals who were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and those who were not diagnosed with diabetes. Individual differences such as gender and age and factors such as the types of foods for which excessive nutrient demand, the presence of excessive food cravings, self-esteem, and motivation to consume these foods affect the hedonic hunger status of individuals. Determining the factors that cause hedonic hunger will contribute to more accurate guidance in the nutrition programs to be planned for individuals, improving the nutritional habits of individuals, keeping blood sugars at optimal levels in diabetics, and increasing the success of preventing and delaying diabetes-related complications.

Investigation of mindful eating on healthy nutrition and body mass index in women aged 18-65 years who applied to a private clinic in levent.
Nowadays, many weight loss methods have developed in addition to the classic calorie-restrictive diets. Classical weight loss methods are not always very effective in terms of permanent weight loss. Obesity is a serious health problem that continues to increase and brings many chronic diseases along with it. The relationship between eating behavior and weight gain and obesity has been investigated for a long time. Calorie-restrictive treatments used in the therapy of obesity cannot be sustainable in the long term. Therefore, different interventions are needed in addition to calorie-restrictive practices. Mindfulness is currently being discussed as a permanent and effective weight loss method. Research on the use of mindfulness in addition to traditional calorie-restricting weight loss procedures is showing positive results. Mindfulness is defined as "awareness that arises in the present moment, non-judgmentally, by paying attention". When "Mindfulness" is reflected in eating behaviors, it is defined as "Eating with Consciousness or "Mindful Eating". Although mindfulness practices are used for many health conditions, it plays an important role in eating disorders and weight management, especially by providing portion control within the scope of mindful eating. In this cross-sectional study, it is objected to interpret the correlation between mindful eating behavior, healthy eating habits and body mass index (BMI). This research was conducted among female individuals between the ages of 18-65 who applied to a private clinic in Levent. One hundred ninety woman have participated in the study. (51.6% (n=98) 18-30 years old, 12.6% (n=24) 31-40 years old, 18.9% (n=36) 41-50 years old and 16.8% (n=32) 51-65 years old). An online questionnaire (which includes Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition (ASHN), Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ) and Sociodemographic data form) was applied to compare the healthy nutritional habits and the mindful eating patterns of the individuals participating in the study and to determine sociodemographic information such as age, weight, height, education level, income status. According to the data obtained from the study, there was a statistically significant negative correlation between BMI and total mindful eating scores (p<0.05). A statistically significant moderate correlation was found between the total score of the Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition (ASHN) and the total score of Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ) (Mindful Eating Questionnaire scores increase as the Healthy Eating Attitude Scale score increases) (r=0.381; p=0.001; p<0, 01).

In order to increase awareness about sustainable nutrition, to develop policies on this issue and to contribute to the literature, this study aimed to evaluate the "eating attitude behaviors of female individuals and the adaptation to the Mediterranean diet, which is a sustainable nutrition model. An online questionnaire, which includes questions about socio-demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements and nutritional habits, was applied to the individuals participating in the research. The test was applied to measure the sustainable nutrition knowledge level of individuals, the Mediterranean Diet Adaptation Scale (MEDAS) consisting of 14 questions to measure Mediterranean diet compliance, and the Eating Attitude Test-26 to determine the eating behaviors of individuals. In this study, 1.8% of female individuals were underweight, 27.9% were normal, 38.1% were overweight, 14.6% were grade 1 obese, 4.3% were grade 2 obese and 3.2% were grade 3 obese. The Eating Attitude Test-26 (EAT-26) was used to screen for the risk of eating disorders. In this study, low-level positive correlations were found between individuals' eating attitudes and BMI and bulimia and eating preoccupation variables, and low-level negative correlations between BMI and control variables. When the scores they got from the Mediterranean diet adaptation scale, bulimia and preoccupation with eating, and the sub-dimension of controlling eating were evaluated according to the groups whether they received sustainable nutrition education or not, no significant difference was found between the groups (p>.05). When the scores they got from the Eating Attitude Scale (t(504)=2.16, p<0.05) and the Dieting subscale (t(504)=2.31, p<0.05) were evaluated according to the groups whether they received sustainable nutrition education or not, a significant difference was found between the groups. It is necessary to carry out more research to increase the knowledge and awareness of sustainable nutrition in the society and to provide sustainable nutrition education to individuals.
