Marmara Region (marmara + region)
Selected AbstractsSemi-Authoritarian Incorporation and Autocratic Militarism in TurkeyDEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE, Issue 4 2005Tim Jacoby This article argues that, since the early 1980s, there have been two regimes in Turkey. The first, which is broadly akin to Michael Mann's characterization of Semi-Authoritarian Incorporation, has predominated in areas of the country not administered through emergency legislation. In keeping with his model, it has been most fully asserted in areas of key economic value , particularly the Marmara region and the environs of the capital, Ankara. In the thirteen predominantly Kurdish provinces of the south-east of the country, on the other hand, a second of Mann's regime types, Autocratic Militarism, is discernible. This was institutionalized under a new constitutional structure introduced following the 1980 coup as a means of dealing with a rise in pro-Kurdish insurgency. [source] Major neotectonic features of eastern Marmara region, Turkey: development of the Adapazar,,Karasu corridor and its tectonic significanceGEOLOGICAL JOURNAL, Issue 2 2004nç Yi Abstract Eastern Marmara region consists of three different morphotectonic units: Thrace,Kocaeli Peneplain (TKP) and Çamda,,Akçakoca Highland (ÇAH) in the north, and Armutlu,Almac,k Highland in the south of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ). The geologic-morphologic data and seismic profiles from the Sakarya River offshore indicate that the boundary between the TKP in the west and ÇAH in the east is a previously unrecognized major NNE,SSW-trending strike-slip fault zone with reverse component. The fault zone is a distinct morphotectonic corridor herein named the Adapazar,,Karasu corridor (AKC) that runs along the Sakarya River Valley and extends to its submarine canyon along the southern margin of the Black Sea in the north. It formed as a transfer fault zone between the TKP and ÇAH during the Late Miocene; the former has been experiencing extensional forces and the latter compressional forces since then. East,West-trending segments of the NAFZ cuts the NE,SW-trending AKC and their activity has resulted in the formation of a distinct fault-bounded morphology, which is characterized by alternating E,W highlands and lowlands in the AKC. Furthermore, this activity has resulted in the downward motion of an ancient delta and submarine canyon of the Sakarya River in the northern block of the NAFZ below sea level so that the waters of the Black Sea invaded them. The NE,SW-trending faults in the AKC were reactivated with the development of the NAFZ in the Late Pliocene, which then caused block motions and microseismic activities throughout the AKC.

Ambraseys Summary We use the earthquake history of the last 500 years to help evaluate the tectonic and hazard contexts of the 1999 earthquakes at Izmit and Düzce in western Turkey. The 20th century has been unusually active, but over the 500 year period the seismic moment release can account for the known right-lateral shear velocity across the Marmara region observed by GPS. Two areas of known late Quaternary faulting stand out as unusually quiet over this period: the northwest shore of the Sea of Marmara and the southern branch of the North Anatolian fault system between Bursa and Mudurnu.

[source] The effects of 17 August Marmara earthquake on patient admittances to our dermatology departmentJOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY & VENEREOLOGY, Issue 3 2002D Bayramgürler Abstract On 17 August 1999 a devastating earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 on the Richter scale occurred in Marmara region of Turkey and the epicentre of the earthquake was our city. In this study we aimed to determine the influence of a major earthquake on patient admittance's to the outpatient clinic of our dematology department. All the registrations of the outpatient clinic of our dermatology department in a period of 6 months after the earthquake and the same period last year were revised retrospectively and categorized into 15 subgroups. The first 3 months registrations (earthquake group 1) and the second 3 months registrations (earthquake group 2) after the earthquake were compared with those of the same periods in last year, respectively (control group 1 and control group 2). Also the earthquake group 1 was compared with the earthquake group 2. When the results were evaluated, it was seen that the incidence of infections-infestations was significantly higher in the earthquake group 1 when compared with the control group 1. When the earthquake group 2 and the control group 2 were compared with each other regarding the incidences of the skin diseases, no statistically significant difference was found. The incidences of erythematous-squamous skin diseases, pruritus and neurocutaneous dermatoses and eczemas were significantly higher in the earthquake group 2 when compared with the earthquake group 1. On the other hand, the incidences of infections-infestations and dermatoses due to physical factors were significantly lower in the earthquake group 2 when compared with the earthquake group 1. We think that the alteration in the admittance's to outpatient clinic of our dermatology department in the first 3 months after the earthquake is due to the damaged infrastructures and unhygienic life conditions and in the second 3 months is due to psycho-emotional factors related to earthquake.
