                    <text>Türk Dili Ve Edebiyatı Bölümlerinde Osmanlı Türkçesi Eğitimi
Mehmet GÜMÜŞKILIÇ

Özet:Osmanlı Türkçesi, Türk dili tarihinin yaklaşık 450-500 yıllık bir dönemini ihtiva
etmektedir. İlim âleminde Osmanlıca da denilen bu devrede Arap harfli Türkçe metinler
yazılmıştır. Osmanlıca tarih boyunca hiçbir zaman başka bir dil olmamıştır. Arapça, Farsça
unsurlar içermekle beraber dil Türkçedir. Bu döneme vâkıf olabilmek için iyi bir donanıma
sahip olmak gerekir. Bunun için de ilk önce Arap alfabesi çok iyi bilinmelidir. Daha sonra
bol bol Arap harfli Türkçe metin okunmalı ve bu metinler yazılmalıdır. Ayrıca günümüze
yabancı olan kelimeler sözlüklerden bulunup, kavranılmalıdır. Günümüzde
Türkiye’de
Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı, Tarih, bazı Sanat Tarihi, Kütüphanecilik bölümlerinde ve İlahiyat
Fakültelerinde ilmî olarak Osmanlı Türkçesi eğitimi verilmektedir. Bunların dışında bazı
özel teşebbüsler çeşitli vakıflar aracılığıyla Osmanlı Türkçesi dersleri açmaktadır. Kendi
kültürümüzü, tarihimizi, edebiyatımızı, dilimizi ve toplumsal yapımızı iyi anlayabilmek için
Osmanlı Türkçesi dersi vasıtadır. Bu vasıta kullanılarak kültür köklerimize ilk elden ulaşma
imkânına sahip olabiliriz.. Tebliğimizde; Türkiye’de bulunan 8 üniversite örnek olarak
alınmış ve bu üniversitelerin Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı bölümlerinde okutulmakta olan
Osmanlı Türkçesi değerlendirilmiş ve bu derslerin daha verimli bir şekilde öğrencilere
verilebilmesi için neler yapılması gerektiği hakkında bazı teklifler sunulmuştur. Tebliğimiz;
Osmanlı Türkçesi eğitiminin gerekli olduğu, bu eğitimin toplumda yaygınlaşması gerektiği
konusuna bir nebze de olsa dikkat çektiyse hedefine ulaşmış sayılacaktır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Osmanlı Türkçesi, Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümü, Arap Harfli
Metinler, Üniversitelerde Osmanlı Türkçesi Eğitimi.

Giriş
Osmanlı Türkçesi, Türkçenin tarihî devirlerinden birisidir. Bu dönem yaklaşık 15. asrın ortalarından 20.
asrın başlarına kadar devam etmiştir. Bu devreye ilim âleminde Osmanlıca da denmektedir. Osmanlıca tabiri ile
aslında Türkçe kastedilmektedir. Zaten Tanzimat’a kadar, Türkçe metinlerin Osmanlı Türkçesi veya Osmanlıca
ile yazıldığına dair bir ifadeye pek rastlanmamıştır. Bu dönemde Türkçe, genellikle ‘Türk dili, Türkî, Türk’ün
dili’ gibi kelimelerle ifade ediliyordu (Akalın; 2002, s.15-16). Osmanlı Türkçesi ifadesi, belki de ilk defa,
Tanzimat’tan sonra ‘lisân-ı Osmânî’90, ‘Osmanlıca’ (Öksüz; 1995, s.14, 28, 167), ‘lehçe-i Osmânî’91 tabirleri ile
dilimize girmiştir.
Osmanlı Türkçesi kendi arasında üç kısma ayrılır: İlk döneme ‘Başlangıç Dönemi Osmanlı Türkçesi’;
ikinci döneme ‘Klasik Devir Osmanlı Türkçesi’; son döneme ise ‘Yenileşme Devri Osmanlı Türkçesi’ adı verilir.
İlk dönem 15. yüzyılın ortalarından, yani Fatih Sultan Mehmet’in İstanbul’u fethetmesinden 16. yüzyılın
başlarına kadar; ikinci dönem 16. yüzyılın başlarından 20. yüzyılın ortalarına, yani Tanzimat Fermanı’na kadar;
son dönem ise Tanzimat Fermanı’nın ilan edilmesinden 20. yüzyılın başlarına, yani II. Meşrutiyet’in ilanı olan
1908 yılına kadar olan dönemdir (Özkan; 2007, s.483-485).
Osmanlı Türkçesi devresinde yüz binlerce Türkçe eser meydana getirilmiştir. 1928 yılında yapılan harf
inkılabından sonra92 ise Latin harfli alfabeye geçildi. 1908’den günümüze kadar olan döneme Türk dili tarihi
bakımından Türkiye Türkçesi denmektedir.
Latin alfabesinin kabulünden belli bir müddet sonra Arap harfleriyle yazılan Türkçe metinler, okullarda
Osmanlı Türkçesi dersleri olmadığı için maalesef okutulamamıştır. Bu da; kültürümüzü, dilimizi, edebiyatımızı,
tarihimizi, sanatımızı yeni nesillerin anlamada zorluk çekmesi demekti. Ayrıca 1932 yılında başlayan ve kısa bir
süre sonra yapılan hatanın farkına varılmasından sonra vazgeçilen, fakat 1940 yılından sonra geniş bir şekilde
sürdürülen dilde tasfiyecilik hareketi neticesinde ( Özkan; 1995, s.43-45) Türkçede kullanılan ve herkesin bildiği
Arapça, Farsça kökenli birçok kelimenin yerine Türk dili kurallarına uygun olmadan pek çok kelime
uydurulmuş, Türkçenin ağızlarında kullanılan mahallî kelimeler ve çeşitli Türk lehçelerinde yer alan bazı
kelimeler Türk yazı diline geçirilmeye başlanmış, böylece genç Türk neslinin geçmişle bağları koparılmaya
90
Meselâ, Namık Kemal “Lisân-ı Osmânî’nin Edebiyatı Hakkında Bazı Mülâhazâtı Şâmildir.” (Kalpaklı; 1999, s.19-24)
adlı makalesinde bu tabiri kullanmaktadır.
91
Ahmet Vefik Paşa; 1876’da ilk baskısı, 1890 yılında da ikinci baskısı yapılan sözlüğüne Lehçe-i Osmânî adını koymuştur
(Bu sözlük Latin harfleriyle Recep Toparlı tarafından hazırlanmış ve Türk Dil Kurumu bu çalışmayı 2000 yılında basmıştır.).

s.89-222 )

�çalışılmıştır. Tasfiyecilik hareketinin siyasî bir yönü olduğu da gözden uzak tutulmamalıdır. 1950 ile 1960 yılları
arasında Türk Dil Kurum ile hükümet arasında bir anlaşmazlık söz konusuydu. 1945 yılında öz Türkçe kelimeler
daha çok kullanılarak Türkçeleştirilen anayasa, 1952 senesinde yeniden eski şekline, yani tabiî biçimine
döndürülür ( Akalın; 2002, s.43). Bu yıllarda dilin tabiî mecrasına girdiğini söyleyebiliriz. 1960 askerî
darbesinden sonra ise Türkçe yeniden bir çıkmaza girmiştir. 1952 yılında değiştirilen anayasanın dili 1961’de
tekrar öz Türkçe ile yazılmıştır ( Akalın; 2002, s.44). Yani 1960 ile 1980 yılları arasında “Öz Türkçecilik, arı
Türkçecilik, dilde özleştirme, dilde ilericilik, devrimci görüş” adlarıyla dilde ırkçılık ve tasfiyecilik özelliği
taşıyan aşırı özleştiricilik hareketi var olmuştur ( Korkmaz; 2002, s.62). Bu yapmacık dil hareketinin tam olarak
başarıya ulaşması mümkün değildi. Halk kendisinin anlamadığı, Türkçenin musikîsine uygun olmayan
kelimeleri reddetti. Arılaştırma hareketi azalıp çoğalmakla birlikte 1980’li yıllara kadar sürdü93. 1980’den sonra
Türkçe daha sağlıklı bir mecrada yoluna devam etti. 1995’ten sonraki yıllarda bilgisayarın, dolayısıyla internetin
ve cep telefonunun yaygınlaşmasından sonra ise, İngilizce kelime ve tabirler dilimizi istilâ etmeye başladı.
Teknolojinin baş döndürücü bir şekilde gelişmesinin kitap okuma alışkanlığına ket vurduğunu söyleyebiliriz.
Bununla beraber, internetin yaygınlaşmasının bir takım kitapçıların kitaplarını internet üzerinden satmalarını
sağladığını; medya kuruluşlarının artmasının, reklâm pastasının büyümesinin de bazı kitapların daha çok
okunmasını temin ettiğini söylememiz yerinde olacaktır. Günümüzde kitaba ilgi bir yandan azalırken, öte yandan
insanların kendi kültür köklerini aramaları sonucunda bazı kitaplara ilgi artmaktadır.
Tebliğimizde; kendi öz benliğimizi daha iyi kavramada vasıta olabilecek Osmanlı Türkçesini
günümüzde akademik bir şekilde öğretmeye çalışan Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı bölümlerinde okutulan Osmanlı
Türkçesi veya Osmanlıca derslerinin kalitesi ve Osmanlıca eğitiminin daha verimli olabilmesi için neler
yapılması gerektiği üzerinde durulacaktır.

Osmanlı ve Osmanlıcaya İlgi
Osmanlı Devleti tarihin en büyük devletlerinden birisi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu kadar büyük bir
iradenin elbette ki büyük bir dili de olacaktı. İlim âleminde Osmanlı Türkçesi veya Osmanlıca adıyla bilinen bu
dil, aslında Türkçeden başka bir dil değildi. Türkçe Fatih’in İstanbul’u fethetmesinden sonra artık bir
imparatorluk dili hâline gelmişti. Bu dil İstanbul’a değişik yerlerden gelen insanların konuşma biçimlerinin ortak
bir potada eritilmesi sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır. Yani birçok unsurun dillerinde geçen şekillerle oluşan İstanbul
Türkçesi, bir imparatorluk dili hâlini almış ve yüzyıllar boyunca hâkimiyetini sürdürmüştür.
Türk dili tarihi göz önüne getirildiğinde yaklaşık 500 senelik uzunca bir dönem Türkçe yazılan yüz
binlerce kitaba ilk elden ulaşabilmek için Osmanlı Türkçesi eğitimi almak gereklidir. Yukarıda da belirttiğimiz
gibi Osmanlı Türkçesi veya Osmanlıca ayrı bir dil değildir. Hiçbir zaman da farklı bir dil olmamıştır. Bazı kişiler
günümüzde “Özgeçmiş”lerinde bildiği diller arasına Osmanlıcayı da eklemektedirler. Bu son derece yanlış bir
davranıştır. Tabiî şunu da belirtmek gerekir ki, çok uzun bir dönem devam eden Osmanlı Türkçesi devresine
hâkim olmak kolay değildir. Bunun için bir takım donanımlara sahip olmak lazımdır: Arap harfli imlâyı iyi
bilmek, Arapça ve Farsça tamlamalara, birleşik yapılara ve kelime kadrosuna vâkıf olmak ve Türkiye Türkçesi
gramerini ayrıntılı bir şekilde kavramak.
Türkiye’de günümüzde Osmanlı Türkçesi eğitimi; üniversitelerin Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı, Tarih,
Kütüphanecilik ve bazı Sanat Tarihi bölümleri ve yeni açılan Sosyal Bilimler Lisesi dışında hiçbir yerde resmî
olarak verilmemektedir. Bu saydığımız birimlerin dışında bazı belediyeler ve sivil toplum örgütlerinin
Osmanlıca kursları düzenlediklerine şahit oluyoruz. Görüldüğü gibi ülkemizde Osmanlı Türkçesi eğitimi ancak
sınırlı bir şekilde sürdürülmektedir.

Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümlerinde Osmanlıca
Ülkemizde Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi bulunan neredeyse bütün üniversitelerde Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı
Bölümü mevcuttur. Bu bölümlerin hepsinde de Osmanlı Türkçesi dersi yer almaktadır. Aşağıda bazı
üniversitelerin Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümlerinde okutulan Osmanlı Türkçesi dersleri hakkında istatistikî
bilgiler verilecektir.
1) İstanbul Üniversitesi: Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümünün bulunduğu en eski üniversitelerden olan
İstanbul Üniversitesi’nde Osmanlı Türkçesi dersi, 1 ve 2. dönemlerde (1. sınıfın ilk ve ikinci dönemi) 4 teorik 2
pratik olmak üzere haftada 6’şar; 3. ve 4. dönemlerde (2. sınıfın ilk ve ikinci dönemi) ise haftada 2’şer saat
zorunlu olarak verilmektedir ( http://www.istanbul.edu.tr).

Özellikle 1968’den 1980’e kadar uydurma dili savunanlarla, halkın anladığı dilimize geçmiş ve Türkçeleşmiş kelimeleri
kullanmanın gerektiğini müdafaa edenler arasında daima bir mücadele olmuştu. Hatta bu öyle bir hâl almıştı ki, özellikle
entelektüel kişiler arasında onların kullandığı kelimelerden, hangi siyasî görüşe sahip olup olmadıklarına dair hükümler
çıkarılıyordu. Uydurma dil, memleketimizde büyük tahribat yapmıştı. Bu konuda bakınız: (Özkan; 1997, s.330-343)

�2) Fatih Üniversitesi: Özel üniversitelerin içinde en yüksek puanla öğrenci alan Fatih Üniversitesi FenEdebiyat Fakültesi Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümü, bursluluk puanı bakımından da Türkiye’de ikinci
durumdadır. Bölümde Osmanlı Türkçesi; 1, 2, 3 ve 4. dönemlerde (1. sınıfın ilk, ikinci ve 2. sınıfın ilk, ikinci
dönemi) haftada 4’er saat mecburî olarak okutulmaktadır ( http://www.fatih.edu.tr).
3) Gazi Üniversitesi: Bu üniversitede Osmanlı Türkçesi dersleri 1, 2, 3, 4. dönemlerde (1. sınıfın ilk,
ikinci ve 2. sınıfın ilk, ikinci dönemi) haftada 3’er saat zorunlu olarak okutulmaktadır
http://www.fef.gazi.edu.tr).
4) Ankara Üniversitesi: Bu üniversitenin Dil ve Tarih-Coğrafya Fakültesi Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı
Bölümü’nde Osmanlı Türkçesi dersi 1, 2 ve 3. dönemlerde (1. sınıfın ilk, ikinci ve 2. sınıfın ilk dönemi) haftalık
4’er saat zorunlu olarak verilmektedir ( http://www.dtcf.ankara.edu.tr).
5) Marmara Üniversitesi: Bu üniversitenin Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümü’nde okutulmakta olan
Osmanlı Türkçesi dersi, 1, 2 ve 3. dönemlerde (1. sınıfın ilk, ikinci ve 2. sınıfın ilk dönemi) haftada 4’er; 4, 5 ve
6. dönemlerde (2. sınıfın ilk, 3. sınıfın ilk ve ikinci dönemi) haftada 2’şer saat mecburî olarak okutulmaktadır
(http://www.marmara.edu.tr).
6) Boğaziçi Üniversitesi: Üniversitenin Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümü’nde Osmanlı Türkçesi dersi, 1
ve 2. dönemlerde (1. sınıfın ilk ve ikinci dönemi) haftada 4’er saat zorunlu olarak verilmektedir (
http://turkishliteratur.boun.edu.tr).
7) Uludağ Üniversitesi: Üniversitenin Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümü’nde 1, 2, 3 ve 4. dönemlerde (1.
sınıfın ilk, ikinci ve 2. sınıfın ilk, ikinci dönemi) haftada 3’er saat olmak üzere Osmanlı Türkçesi dersi mecburî
bir şekilde okutulmaktadır ( http://www.uludag.edu.tr).
8) Kültür Üniversitesi: Vakıf üniversitelerinden olan Kültür Üniversitesi’nin Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi’ne
bağlı Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümü’nde Osmanlı Türkçesi dersi 1 ve 2. dönemlerde (1. sınıfın ilk ve ikinci
dönemleri) haftada 4’er; 3 ve 4. dönemlerde (2. sınıfın ilk ve ikinci dönemi) ise haftada 2’şer saat olarak zorunlu
bir şekilde verilmektedir ( http://www.fen-edebiyat.iku.edu.tr).
Yukarıda verdiğimiz 6 devlet ve 2 vakıf üniversitesinde bulunan Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı bölümlerine
bakıldığında Osmanlı Türkçesi; 4 yıl, yani 8 dönem boyunca zorunlu bir şekilde haftalık ders saati bakımından
en fazla Marmara Üniversitesi’nde 18 saat olarak verilmektedir. İstanbul ve Fatih üniversitelerinde ise 4 sene,
yani 8 dönemde haftada 16’şar saat olarak mecburî Osmanlı Türkçesi dersleri okutulmaktadır. Yukarıda
bahsedilen 8 üniversitenin içinde 4 yıllık bir zaman diliminde Osmanlı Türkçesi dersi, haftalık 8 saatle en az
Boğaziçi Üniversitesi’nde okutulmaktadır. Bu sekiz üniversitenin 6’sında Osmanlı Türkçesi dersi 1. ve 2.
sınıfların ilk ve ikinci dönemleri olmak üzere 4 dönemde; Marmara Üniversitesi’nde 3 yıl boyunca, Boğaziçi
Üniversitesi’nde ise sadece 1 yıl boyunca zorunlu olarak okutulmaktadır. Bu tablo bize Osmanlı Türkçesi
dersinin üniversitelerin çoğunda 1 ve 2. sınıflarda okutulduğunu 3. ve 4. sınıflarda ise bu dersin gösterilmediğini
ortaya koymaktadır.

Osmanlı Türkçesi Eğitim-Öğretiminde Karşılaşılan Zorluklar
Osmanlı Türkçesi veya Osmanlıca dersleri öğrenciler arasında en zor ders kategorisine giren
derslerdendir. Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı bölümlerinin en temel dersi olarak vasıflandırabileceğimiz bu dersten
başarılı olabilmek için belli bir birikim elde etmek gerekir. 1. ve 2. sınıfta bu dersi iyi öğrenen öğrenciler, 3. ve
4. sınıfta diğer derslerde de avantaj kazanacaklarıdır. Çünkü özellikle 3. ve 4. sınıflarda Eski Türk Edebiyatı ve
Yeni Türk Edebiyatı derslerinde okutulan metinler genellikle Arap harfleriyle yazılan Türkçe metinler
olmaktadır. Osmanlıcası iyi olan öğrenciler 3. ve 4. sınıfta pratik yapma imkânı bulabilmektedirler.
Osmanlıcanın 1. sınıfı temel bir sınıftır. Bu sınıfta öğrencilere ilk olarak Arap harfleri kavratılmalıdır.
Bu sınıftakiler, ilkokul 1. sınıftaki talebeler gibi Arap harflerini 50’şer veya 100’er defa yazmalı ve harflerin
bitişme şekillerini iyi öğrenmelidirler. İlk 1-1,5 ay bu konulara ağırlık verildikten sonra kelime okumalarına
önem vermek gerekir. Kelimelerden, yavaş yavaş cümlelere geçilmeli; sonra da en basit metinden başlayarak
daha zor metinler okutulmalıdır. Günümüze göre yabancı sayılabilecek kelimelerin anlamlarının sözlüklerden
bulunup bunların kavranılmasının önemi öğrenciye anlatılmalıdır. Şemseddîn Samî’nin Kâmûs-ı Türkî’sinin
herkesçe alınması sağlanmalıdır. Tamamen Arap alfabesiyle tanzim edilmiş olan bu sözlük sayesinde öğrenciler
metinlerdeki kelimeleri doğru olarak okuyacaklardır. Öğrencilere bir de madde başları Latin harfleriyle
oluşturulmuş bir sözlük de kullanmaları tavsiye edilebilir. İlk dönemin sonlarına doğru Latin harfli metinleri
Arap harfleriyle yazma alıştırmaları yapılmalıdır. 1. sınıfın ikinci döneminde ise metin okumayla birlikte Latin
alfabesiyle yazılan metinleri Arap harfleriyle yazma konusuna da devam edilmelidir. Ayrıca öğrencilere 2.
dönem için dönem ödevi ve okunacak haftalık parçalar yazma ödevi olarak verilmelidir. Bu dönemde ayrıca
Arapça vezinlere de yavaş yavaş girilmeye başlanmalıdır.
2. sınıfta Osmanlı Türkçesi derslerinde, 1. sınıfa göre daha ağır metinler okutulmalıdır. Bu sınıfta
metinlerin yanı sıra Osmanlı Türkçesi grameri de öğrencilere belletilmelidir. Gramerde 1. sınıfta başlanılan

360

�Arapça vezinlere 2. sınıfta devam edilmelidir. İkinci dönem ise Arapça ve Farsça tamlamalar ve vakit kalırsa
Farsça türemiş isim ve türemiş sıfatlar; birleşik isim ve sıfatlar da konu olarak öğrencilere anlatılmalıdır.

Osmanlı Türkçesi Eğitimi İçin Teklifler:
Osmanlı Türkçesi Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümlerinde yukarıda da dile getirdiğimiz gibi genellikle 1.
ve 2. sınıflarda okutulmaktadır. 3. ve 4. sınıflarda bir kaç seçmeli dersin dışında Osmanlı Türkçesi ile ilgili bir
ders bulunmamaktadır. Üniversitelerin Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı bölümlerinde umumiyetle 19 ve 20. asırda yazılan
matbu metinler okutulmaktadır. Tarih bölümlerinde ise dîvanî, rik’a gibi yazı çeşitleriyle yazılmış metinler de
öğrencilere verilmektedir. Osmanlı Türkçesi derslerinin daha verimli olabilmesi için tekliflerimiz şunlardır:
1) Osmanlı Türkçesiyle ilgili dersler seçmeli bile olsa 3. ve 4. sınıflarda da değiş adlarla öğrencilere
verilmeli ve böylece öğrencilerin Osmanlıca ile ilgili irtibatlarının kopmaması sağlanmalıdır.
2) 3. ve 4. sınıfta Osmanlıca dersleri konulmasının mümkün olmadığı durumlarda, özellikle Eski ve
Yeni Edebiyat derslerinde verilebilecek Arap harfli metinler sayesinde öğrenciler, Osmanlıca derslerinde
öğrendiklerini pratik yapma imkânı bulacaklardır. Yani Osmanlı Türkçesini iyi bilen ve günümüze yabancı olan
kelimeleri bugünkü karşılıklarıyla kavrayan bir öğrenci 3. ve 4. sınıflarda rahat edecektir.
3) Özellikle Tarih bölümlerinde öğretilen çeşitli yazı stilleri ile ilgili de Osmanlı Paleografyası adlı bir
ders konabilir. Böylece Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümü öğrencileri de padişah fermanlarını, tapu sicil kayıtlarını
ve çeşitli evrakları az çok okuyabileceklerdir.
4) Osmanlı Türkçesini öğrencilere sevdirebilecek aktiviteler yapılmalıdır. Metinler belki görsel olarak
öğrencilere sunulmalı, böylece talebelerin dikkati çekilmeli ve onların derslere yoğunlaşmaları sağlanmalıdır.
5) Talebelerin, Osmanlı Türkçesi ile irtibatlarının derslerin dışında da kopmaması için onlara bol bol
ödev verilmeli ve bu yaptıkları ödevlerin karşılığını muhakkak alacakları söylenmelidir. Bunun neticesinde
öğrenciler hem ödevlerini yapıp, hem de ödevleri yaparken kelimenin yazılış şekillerine ve günümüzdeki
anlamlarına dikkat edecekler ve Osmanlıca ile olan ilişkileri devam edecektir.
6) İstanbul bir kültür hazinesidir. El yazmaları ve matbu Arap harfleriyle yazılmış birçok eseri
bünyesinde barındıran bir şehirdir. Özellikle İstanbul’da bulunan üniversitelerin Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı
bölümlerinde okuyan talebelere kütüphaneler gezdirilmeli ve cetlerimizin bize bıraktıkları eski kitapların ne
derece önemli olduğu idrak ettirilebilmelidir. Öğrencilerin, geçmişte büyük bir kültür hazinesine sahip bir
milletin torunları olduklarının bilincine varma yolunda kütüphane gezileri büyük önem taşımaktadır.
Osmanlıcaya vâkıf olanların Osmanlıcayı bilmeyenlere göre ayrıcalık sahibi olacakları talebeye
hissettirilmelidir.
7) Öğrencilere; Osmanlı Türkçesi eğitimi-öğretimi sayesinde günümüzde Türkçede çok sık, sık, bazen
veya nadiren kullanılan kelimelerin orijinal imlâlarını kavradıkları takdirde bunları güzel, doğru ve Türkçenin
musîkisine uygun olarak telaffuz edebilecekleri ve yeni nesilleri daha fazla etkileyebilecekleri anlatılmalıdır.
8) Geçmiş, yani tarih günümüzün aynasıdır. Geçmişte meydana gelen olaylar millî hafızamızdır. Kendi
kültür köklerini iyi bilmeyen nesiller, geleceğe güvenle bakamazlar, başka milletlerin kültür hegemonyasına
girerler. 20. yüzyıl ve bu yüzyıldan önceki yüzyıllarda meydana gelen tarihî hadiseler, günümüzde çözülemeyen
pek çok hadisenin de temelini oluşturmaktadır. Türk toplumu olarak geçmişte ilişki içinde olduğumuz bir çok
milletle alâkamızı daha güvenli bir şekilde sürdürebilmek ve kültürel köklerimizi yakından tanıyabilmek için
Arap alfabesiyle yazılmış Türkçe metinlere (Osmanlı Türkçesine) vâkıf olmanın elzem olduğunu devletimizin
üst kademesinden insanlara da kabul ettirebilmek için sık sık Osmanlı dönemiyle ilgili medyada programlar
yapılıp, yazılar yazılıp, sempozyumlar düzenlenmeli; devlet başkanının, bakanların ve üst düzey bürokratların
buralara katılmaları temin edilmelidir.
Osmanlı Türkçesi eğitiminin daha büyük kitlelere ulaştırılabilmesi için yukarıda yaptığımız elbette bu
tekliflerle sınırlı değildir.

Sonuç
Tarihimizi, kültürümüzü, edebiyatımızı, dilimizi iyi anlayabilmede en önemli vasıtalardan olan Osmanlı
Türkçesi eğitimi günümüzde önem kazanmaktadır. Medya da Osmanlı Devleti’nin toplum yapısını bugünlerde
daha ilgi ile takip etmektedir. Televizyonlarda çeşitli tarih, kültür, sanat ve edebiyat programları yapılmakta;
gazetelerin kültür sayfalarında geçmiş kültürümüz ile ilgili yazılara rastlanmakta; Osmanlı dönemiyle ilgili
romanlar, hikâyeler yazılmakta; böylece Osmanlı dönemine alâka, gün geçtikte artmaktadır. Bu döneme ilk
elden ulaşabilmek ve 1928 yılında yapılan harf inkılâbından önce Türklerin yaklaşık 900-1000 sene kullandıkları
Arap harfleriyle yazılmış olan Türkçe metinleri anlayabilmek için gereken donanımı bize sağlayacak olan en
önemli husus, Osmanlı Türkçesi eğitimi ve öğretimidir. Osmanlı Türkçesi veya ilim âleminde yaygın olan adıyla
Osmanlıca günümüzde üniversitelerin ancak sınırlı sayıdaki bölümlerinde okutulmaktadır. Bu bölümlerin

361

�başında gelen Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümü’nde verilen Osmanlı Türkçesi dersi, bölümün en temel dersi
olmalıdır. Tarih bölümlerinde de Osmanlıca dersi verilmektedir. Bu iki bölümün dışında bazı İlahiyat
fakültelerinde, Kütüphanecilik, Sanat Tarihi, Müzik bölümlerinde de Osmanlı Türkçesi dersi genellikle seçmeli
ders olarak okutulmaktadır. Bunun dışında 6-7 sene önce açılan Sosyal Bilimler liselerinde de Osmanlıca dersi
liselerin müfredatında bulunmaktadır. Yukarıda bahsettiğim müesseselerin ve bazı özel teşebbüslerin açtıkları
özel kurslarda verilen Osmanlı Türkçesi derslerinin dışında maalesef Türkiye’de çok uzun bir dönem –yaklaşık
450-500 sene- Arap harfleri kullanılarak meydana getirilen yüz binlerce Türkçe kitaba ulaşabilmenin en önemli
aracı olan Osmanlıca eğitimi hiçbir yerde yapılmamaktadır. Bu da bizim en önemli eksikliklerimizdendir. Genç
nesle, milletimizin dünya yüzündeki büyük devletlerin kültürlerinden hiç de eksik olmayan, hatta onların
kültürlerinden daha ileri bir kültür oluşturan Osmanlı dönemini aydınlatabilmede vasıta olan Osmanlı
Türkçesinin önemi kavratılmalı ve kültür köklerine bağlı olmayan milletlerin dünyada hiçbir zaman söz sahibi
olamayacakları idrak ettirilebilmelidir.
Tebliğimizde Osmanlı Türkçesini nazara vermeye, Osmanlıca eğitiminin toplumda yaygınlaşabilmesi
için bazı teklifler yapmaya çalıştık. Bu önemli konuya dikkat çektiysek, tebliğimiz hedefine ulaşmış sayılmalıdır.

Abstract: Several studies have been done for the HIV-1 protease specificity problem by
applying machine learning computation techniques recently. In this work, a Linear Support
Vector Machine (LSVM) technique has been applied to predict the cleavability of proteins by
HIV-1 protease. We used Orthonormal Encoding (OE) extraction technique to map
octopeptide sequence inputs. According to simulation outcomes, we have achieved better
result, which has a rate of %91.8, compared to earlier studies to predict the cleavability of
HIV-1 protease.

1. Introduction
HIV-1 protease (Beck et al. 2000) is a small enzyme in the AIDS virus that ensures its replication. The
mature and infectious viral particles can only be generated when the polyproteins are cleaved by the HIV
protease; otherwise, the viral particles are inactive (Graves et al. 1992). The cleavage sites in the viral
polyproteins do not share sequence property. HIV-1 protease inhibitors target the active site in HIV-1 protease
for preventing its maturation functioning. Owing to the factthat HIV-1 protease cleavage sites in proteins are
templates for inhibitor drugs, deciphering and understanding HIV-1 protease is vital. In this paper, we apply
Linear Support Vector Machines (LSV M) for detecting HIV-1 protease cleavage sites in proteins with the view
of Orthonormal Encoding technique.
During the last decade or so, for the HIV-1 protease, there have been several works to develop various
prediction methods based on machine learning.In (Cai et al.1998) multilayer perceptron (MLP) which is a nonlinear machine learning method was used to solve this problem. Recently, Support Vector Machine (SV M) has
been adopted for the prediction of the cleavage sites.In (Cai et al. 2002),the authors applied Vapnik’s SV M to
the HIV-1 cleavage problem. In (Röngnvaldsson et al. 2003),the authors showed that HIV-1 protease cleavage
prediction is alinear problem and LSV M isthe best classifierforthis problem. In (Nanni etal.2006),the authors
studied an encoding technique that combines the amino acid substitution matrix Blosum50 together with the
sequence order of the amino acid composition. In this work, a linear discriminate classifier (LDC) and a radial
basis function SV M were combined.

2. Background and Techniques
2.1. Peptide Sequences
A protein sequence is composed of variable combinations of 20 natural amino acids ∑(A, C, D, …, W,Y).
A peptide is represented by P = P4 P3 P2 P1 ↓P1’ P2’ P3’ P4’ where ↓denotes a scissile bond, Pi is an amino acid
belonging to ∑ (Röngnvaldsson et al. 2003).
2.2. Orthonormal Encoding (OE) Feature Extraction Technique
Feature extraction is a process that extracts a set of features from the original pattern representation.
Orthonormal Encoding is a robust feature extraction technique to map the octopeptide to a sparse orthonormal
representation. Each amino acidinthe peptide sequence (Pi)isrepresented by a 20 bits vector with 19 bits setto
zero and one bit set to one. We implemented OE in OSU toolbox (http://sourceforge.net/projects/svm/) in
MatLab program.

2.3. Data Set
A large data set comprised 1625 substrates has been used. This data set had been experimentallytested for
cleavage by the wild type HIV-1 protease (Kontijevski et al.2007). On this dataset, we conducted 10 tests. Each
training and testsets has been randomly re-sampled but maintained the distribution ofthe patterns intwo classes.
2.4. Hyperplane Classifiers: 1-Norm Support Vector Machines (Fung et al. 2005)
Support Vector Machines are a set of related supervised learning methods used for classification and
regression. We considerthe problem of classifying m pointsin the n-dimensionalinput space Rn,represented by
the m x n matrix A, according to membership of each pointAi in the class A+ or A− as specified by a given m x
m diagonal matrix D with plus ones or minus ones along its diagonal. Forthis problem, depicted in Figure 1,the
linear programming support vector machine with a linear kernel (thisis a variant ofthe standard SV M) is given
by the following linear program with parameter ν &gt; 0:

min

( ω ,γ , y )∈R n +1+ m

ve′y + || ω || 1

s.t. D ( Aω − eγ ) + y ≥ e

(1)

y ≥ 0,
W here ||.||1 denotes the 1-norm as defined in the Introduction. That problem is indeed a linear program,
and it can be easily seen from the equivalentformulation below:

min

(ω ,γ , y )∈R n +1+ m

ve′y + e′t

s.t. D ( Aω − eγ ) + y ≥ e

(2)

t ≥ ω ≥ −t ,
y ≥ 0.

For economy of notation we shall use the firstformulation (1) with the understanding that computational
implementation is via (2). Ifthe classes are linearly inseparable, which is often the case in real-world datasets,
then two planes bound the two classes with a “soft margin” (i.e. bound approximately with some error)
determined by the nonnegative error variable y,thatis:
(3)
Aiω + yi ≥ γ + 1, for Dii = 1,

Aiω + yi ≥ γ − 1, for Dii = -1.

The 1-norm of the error variable y is minimized parametrically with weight ν in (1), resulting in an
approximate separating plane.This plane classifies data as follows:

= 1, then x ∈ A+ ,
sign( x′ω − γ ) 
= −1, then x ∈ A− ,

(4)

W here sign (·) is the sign function defined in the Introduction. Empirical evidence indicates that the 1norm formulation has the advantage of generating very sparse solutions. This results in the normal ω to the
separating plane x′ω = γ having many zero components, which implies that many input space features do not
play a rolein determining the linear classifier.

This makes this approach suitable for feature selection in classification problems. Since our rule
extraction algorithm depends directly on the features used by the hyperplane classifier,sparser normal vectors ω
willlead to rules depending on a fewer number of features.

3. Results and Discussion
O wing to the factthat OE makes the domain space sparser (i.e.from 208 to 2160),the ratio of number of
features and the sample size increases.In Figure 2, a graphical description of the system experimented is given.
On step 1, training data encodes as Orthonormal encoding. Referred training data is labeled with respect to
(Kontijevski 2007). On step 2, By Using orthonormal encoded inputs, LSV M Classifieris constructed. On step
3, testing data is encoded as orthonormal encoding. Finally, a confusion matrix which is a table with two rows
two columns that reports the number of True Negatives, False Positives, False Negatives, and True Positives
produced from LSV M classifier.
We conducted 10 tests and get 0.9277 class rate values as stand-of-the art. We have used totally 540
samples as seen Table 1.

4. Conclusion
In this paper,the problem is to predict whether a given peptide, HIV-1 protease cleavage site,is cleaved
or not. We showed by an empirical approach, LSV M with OE inputs can partition the space successfully.
Experimentalresultsshow thatour result outperforms the results as pointed in (Nanni et al.2006) has a value of
91.8% and in (Kim et al. 2008) has a value of 89.92%.

Abstract: Caper has been using as a medicinal and aromatic plant for a long time in
particular Mediterranean basin. More recently there have been obvious increased
interest to this plant because of a wide culinary and medicinal use areas of this plant.
Anatolia is one of the natural growing areas of this plant and local people use it in
several ways. The plant has an important commercial value. Particularly in dry areas,
the plant naturally found and preventing erosion. In this review we gave information
about caper production possibilities, growing techniques, history etc.

Introduction
Capers has been known for a long time as a aromatic and medicinal plant and itis naturally grown in
mostly in Mediterranean countries (Toncer and Tansi, 2000; Kan et al., 2006). The seeds has been reported in
Yanghai cemetery in China (Jiang et al., 2007). In old Egypt civilation the seeds was also found together with
Pharaoh tombs. Capers were mentioned by Dioscorides as being a marketable product ofthe ancient Greeks. In
Aristo and Hipokrattime, the plant particularly its buds was known as a secret plant (Bilgin, 2004). Capers are
also mentioned by the Roman scholar, Pliny the Elder. The plant had been a part of the Mediterranean diet for
over 5,000 years and several archaeologists has unearthed caper seeds, along with grape, pistachio, almond and
olive seedsin Mediterranean basin, which belonged tothe middle Bronze age. Capers widely distributed in some
areas in Italy and it has been extensively reviewed in Ronesans time (Barbera and Lorenzo, 1984). The peoples
consumed caper flower buds and fruits (caperberry) for a long time. The famous traveller, Evliya Celebi
mentioned caper plants 400 years ago in Osmancik town of Corum city in Anatolia region.
There is a strong association between the caper plant and seas. The important caper specie, Capparis
spinosa is said to be native to the Mediterranean basin, but its range stretches from the Atlantic coasts of the
Canary Islands and Morocco to the Black Sea to the Crimea and Armenia, and eastward to the Caspian Sea and
into Iran. Therefore itis believed that capers originated from dry regions in Mediterranean and Near Asia.
Currently, capers naturally grown in Spain, France, Morocco, Monaco,Italy, Malta,former Yugoslavia,
Greece, Tunisia, Algeria, Africa, Southeast Asia, Himalayas, Pacificislands and some parts of Australia(Bilgin,
2004).In these countries,locally capers are collected from wild plants withintheir naturalrange. European main
sources are Spain, France and Italy (especially Sicily and the Aeolian island of Salina and the Mediterranean
island of Pantelleria). Capers are also cultivated in Dalmatia as well. In Turkey, it is widely distributed in
Western cities, middle Anatolia, East Black Sea and Sothern cities(Davis, 1965; Olmez etal.,2004).Itislocally
known as ‘Kebere’,‘Gebre otu’,‘Gebere’ or ‘Yılan kabağı’in different part of Turkey (Ozcan et al., 2004).

Systematic, Morphology and Anatomy
Capers belongs to Capparidaceae family and the family include around 46 genus. Caper is belong to
Capparis genus and Capparis spinosa L. and Capparis ovata Desf. are the main cultivated species (Kan and
94

�1st International Syposium on Sustainable Development, June 9-10 2009, Sarajevo

Arslan, 2004). C. spinosa has three sub species; C. spinosa var.inermis Turra, C. spinosa var.spinosa Zoh. and
C. spinosa var. aegytia Lam. On the other hand, C.ovata Desf.is alsoincluded three sub species such as C. ovata
var. palestina Zoh., C. ovata var.canescens (Coss.) Heywood and C. ovata var. herbacea Willd.In general caper
plantis a shrub with 30-50 cm height. However, C. spinosa can be reach up to 2.5 m and can be found between
200-300 a.s.l(Kan and Arslan, 2004). C. ovata is generally has horizontal growth habit with 20-30 cm height.
This specie can be seen atthe altitude of between 300-1500 a.s.l(Davis, 1965). The aerialparts of capers can be
cover approximately 15 m2 soilarea. The plant has very strong perranialroot system. It can be reach up to 40 m
underthe soil(Olmez et al.,2004). Forthisreason,the plantare used in erosion controlstudies. The plantis also
suitable for dry areas. Leaf stipules may be formed into spines. Flowers are born on first-year branches (Rivera
et al., 2002; Yilmaz et al., 2002). Capers flowers has mild aroma and itinclude 4 sepal and 4 petals which has
white to pink color and numerous anthers and only one stamen. The anthers are in violet color. The flowers has
nectarium. It can be pollinated by bees or vasps (Sozzi, 2001; Rivera et al., 2002). The caper fruits named as
caperberry and itis elipsoid or ovate shape. The maturated fruits suddenly opened and seeds go outside (Sozzi,
2001).

Climate
Capers can be grown on semi-arid conditions. Dry heat and intense sunlight make the preferred
environment for caper plants.Plants are productive in zones having 200-600 mm annual precipitation and easily
survive summer time temperatures higher than 35-40°C. However, caper is a cold tender plant and has a
temperature hardiness range similar to the some kind of subtropical fruits for example pomegranate, fig and
particularly olive trees (-9 °C) (Kan and Arslan, 2004). However in Northeast Anatolia, caper plants can bee
seen in colder areas where olive trees can not be found

Soil
Plants grow wellin nutrient poor sharply-drained gravelly soils. Mature plants develop large extensive
root systems that penetrate deeply into the soil. Therefore itcan be grown in very poor soils as well. Capers are
salt-tolerant and flourish along shores within sea-spray zones. The caper's vegetative canopy covers soilsurfaces
which helps to conserve soilwater reserves (Olmez et al., 2004).

Propagation
Capers can be propagated either from seed or cuttings. For seed propagation, caper seeds are miniscule
and are slow to nurture into transplantable seedlings. Fresh caper seeds germinate readily-but only in low
percentages. To obtain high germination percentage, stratification should be apply on caper seeds. In this way,
seeds placed moist medium and waited 2-3 months in cold storage near O o C (Tansu and Kocabaa, 1997; Sozzi,
2001; Yilmaz et al., 2002). The seed coats of capers very resistto obtain water inside (Cesari, 2003). The seed
coats are also include lignins. The use of plant growth regulators, particularly gibberellins has been reported
increased seed germination ratio in caper seeds from 22% to 64% (Macchia and Casano, 1993; Soyler and
Khawar, 2007; Suleiman et al., 2009). The seeds can be dispersed by some animals (Tansu and Kocabaa, 1997;
Sozzi, 2001). Caper cuttings are hard-to-rooting (Soyler and Arslan, 2000; Kan et al.,2002). The best cutting
collection time are February, March or April in Mediterranean areas. The stem cuttings can be prepared from
basal portions, greaterthan 1 cm diameter and 8 cm in length with 6-10 buds. The rooting media must be well
drained with bottom heat. The use IBA can be helpfultoincrease rooting.

Planting, Irrigation, Pruning and Fertilization
For commercial production, the planting can be start in January, February or March. The planting
distances can be applied 2x2 or 3x3 in dry areas and 4x4 or 5x5 in irrigated areas. Depending on the roughness
of the topography; about 2,000 plants per hectare can be planted. The first year plants do not prefer excess
irrigation.If possible, dripirrigation is better. A full yieldisexpected after 3to 4 years. Plants are pruned back in
winter to remove dead wood and watersprouts. Pruning is crucialto high production. Heavy branch pruning is
necessary, as flower buds arise on one year old branches. Three year old plants will yield 1 to 3 kilograms of
95

�1st International Syposium on Sustainable Development, June 9-10 2009, Sarajevo

caper flower buds per plant. Caper plantations can be lasted 20 to 30 years. Fertilization is a not big issue in
caper production.

Harvest and Processing
As well known caper is produced mainly for unopened flower buds. These unopened flowers are
exported after harvest (Soyler and Aslan, 1999). For harvest,itis very crucisalthat only unopened flower buds
should be picked on a dry days. Harvesting is carried out regularly throughout the growing season. In Turkey
and the other producer countries, caper flower buds are collected mainly by hand. The unopened flowers can be
picked up 5-6 time per season.
After harvest, unopened flowers are preserved either in vinegar or under layers of salt at the
concentration of 20% in a jar.In Turkey,the export companies mostly located in Izmir,Istanbul, Bursa etc. The
collected caper buds classified according to diameter of buds. In Italy, capers are graded on a scale from '7'to
'16', which indicates their size in millimeters. The diameter lower than 7 mm is accepted the best one. This
classification is not applied in Turkey. Among two main species, C. ovata is better physical and chemical
properties for processing (Ozcan and Akgul, 1999; Giuffrida et al., 2002).

Culinary Uses
As mentioned before, unopened flower buds of capers have an important commercial value in capers
producer countries. These flower buds either pickled in vinegar or preserved in granular salt. Moreover, semimature fruits (caperberries) and young shoots may also be pickled for use as a condiment. Capers have a sharp
piquant flavor and add pungency, a peculiar aroma and saltinessto comestibles such as pasta sauces, pizza,fish,
meats and salads. It was interesting that the flavor of caper similar to that of mustard and black pepper which
comes from mustard oil: methyl isothiocyanate (released from glucocapparin molecules) arising from crushed
plant tissues. Capers make an important contribution to the pantheon of classic Mediterranean flavors that
include: olives, rucola (argula, or garden rocket), anchovies and artichokes. In most parts of the world, tender
young shoots of caper plants can be eaten as a vegetable, or pickled. More rarely, mature and semi-mature fruits
are eaten as a cooked vegetable.

Medicinal Uses
There is very old belief that capers reduce flatulence and to be anti-rheumatic in effect.In ayurvedeic
medicine capers are recorded as hepatic protectors, improving liver function. Capers have reported uses for
arteriosclerosis, as diuretics, kidney disinfectants, vermifuges and tonics. Infusions and decoctions from caper
root bark have been traditionally used for dropsy, anemia, arthritis and gout. Capers contain considerable
amounts of the anti-oxidant bioflavinoid rutin. Caper extracts and pulps have been used in cosmetics, but there
has been reported contact dermatitis and sensitivity from their use.

Economic Importance
The European Union countries are the biggest markets for capers. They need high quality caper flower
buds. As far as we know, the EU rejected imports from some North African countries recently because of the
toxic residue found in the products. However, for the caper products that are appropriately certified, the world
market is wide open. Further, organic production of capers will open an additional market niche. A good
marketing concept will bring thislocal plantto an export success because the growing conditions for capers are
outstanding in Turkey. On the other hand the plant needs to be advertisement on it. Therefore an effective
advertisement can also increase its consumption in Turkey as well.

Abstract: Use of technology is changing the way we work, learn, and communicateeven the way we carry out our regular, daily activities. In high education, technology
has had a dramatic impact on teaching and learning, including service-learning
experience. Service-learning classes and activities can be augmented through the use of
technology to provide more effective experience for faculty, students and community
participants. With their ready access to new technologies, higher education institutions
are well-positioned to take advantage of rapid changes in the field.
Keywords: IT, Development, Education

Introduction
Computerization is a process that facilitates the flow, saving and access to information. Looking through
education, IT, when it comes to communication between professors and students and saving time, represents the
relief during the educational process. This model of work has certain infrastructural and demographic
requirements, therefore it is important to decide whether BH is able to support, and when they will have this
feature. (dr.Zlatko Lagumdzija, mr.Zlatan Šabić, Mr.Tarik Zaimović, mr. Kačapor Kemal, mr. Dragan Ivanovic,
2006)
Computerization is one of the areas of study that in a positive sense, is transforming the profile and
image of the organization. It transforms the existing and creates new, appropriate educational programs.
Therefore, the computer helps each organization, through stable and evolutionary development, to become a
leading educational institution in its field at the state and regional levels.
Computerization helps to increase the productivity of the organization to the extent that any set goals of
that organization are available. Employees use new tools that will help their communication through modern
technology. Today, technological support is such that the participants in the organization can unload most of
their daily problems of a practical nature. Therefore, they can be concentrated on the objectives and essence of
the teaching process.
Staff of organization should have at their disposal the most modern computer-communication aids.
Each business unit should be computerized. Internal communication should be at an extremely high level. (Dr.
Zlatko Lagumidžija, 2006)

Distance Learning (DL)
Distance learning, abbreviated DL, is very often linked to modern methods of learning and comes from
encouraging the expression of Distance Learning and translated into the Bosnian language means ‘’learning
remotely’’. The idea of DL rests on dislocating classical classes and assignments to the new virtual classroom,
where a completely new opportunity for study is provided to students.
In addition to professor – student interaction, there is also student-student interaction. The phase of
synchronous and asynchronous learning is being combined. It also replenishes individual and group work. If you
are involved in the educational process, you will see that all of these forms ultimately complement each other.
Distance learning, as a new form of learning, offers to students who do not have time to follow the daily
lectures, to learn the material and offers them the possibility of learning in a time when it is most convenient for

327

�1. International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 9-10 2009, Sarajevo

them. This form of educational process, in the last 20 years due to the rapid development of information
technology, computers and computer network, has joined, or has almost completely replaced the previously
known methods of education. Enormous importance in the expansion of this form of education is placed on the
Internet, as a global computer network, which is fast and relatively cheap, can connect very remote participants,
and helps us overcome technical, linguistic and other barriers in the educational process.
An increasing number of students in the world conduct a significant part of their studies at home, by
using information from the Internet that are prepared just for them and designed to lead them through the process
of learning and absorbing content.
At the Faculty of Economics in Sarajevo, this kind of learning started six years ago, where the student
through the Courseware received additional materials from the professors. In addition it served professors and
other students for further explanation, the exchange of information and to work on common tasks. In the world
market there are great courseware tools for organizing remote learning, as commercial and free software
packages. Of the commercial tools among the best software packages are WebTV and Blackboard, and the free:
Moodle and Caroline. Applications for distance learning, made by Moodle Courseware tool on Windows XP
operating system and Apache / MySQL / PHP platform in the form of a local Web server, presents a view of
basic opportunities of the software Moodle package in the organization process of distance learning.
There are many legitimate reasons for the establishment and expansion of remote education. We have
loose-linked or partially isolated parts of the country, we have employed and unemployed people who need
various forms of supplementary education in the age in which, because of other obligations, cannot come to a
classic educational environment and invest time in learning programs. We have educational institutions with
tradition and quality that do not meet in the world bidders of educational content, and have, on the other hand, a
relatively viable network IT infrastructure that can solve more technical service needs to distance learning.
Education today is considered to be the condition of survival and development of modern societies,
because the importance of education, especially in the field of information technology, is at a proportional size
with technological development of society.

Existing State of Computerization in Bosnia and Herzegovina
In general, computerization in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a slow process that does not enjoy such a
growth trend, such as in developed countries. Many factors, including the economic condition of the state and
the level of education are determining this trend. Information and communication technologies as an integral part
of the modern movement are changing our business world, as well as household and government institutions
more slowly than expected. These changes promise faster and cheaper communication of citizens, which
indirectly affects the positive development of society as a whole. (Sadovic Mirza, prof.dr.Aida Habul, 2008)
It was noted that the number of Internet users is still bigger in the Federation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina than in the Republic of Serbia and is 36% versus 20%. The younger generation uses this method of
communication more than adults.
When it comes to students, 80% of them are using the Internet. This information is useful to indicate
that we are ready to head to more systematic and better access to organizational IT in higher education. (Rizvić
Amra, 2008)
In this case we have decided to take a more detailed analysis of use and development of pre-existing IT
systems - Distance Learning (DL), its advantages, the current suitability of this vision of study in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, and provide any suggestions for improving it.

IT at the Faculty of Economics in Sarajevo
1. Faculty of Economics in Sarajevo
The Faculty of Economics in Sarajevo was founded in 1952. From then until 2005 13,246 students of
four-year study graduated 541 students of three-years of study and 2,578 students of two-year study. The
Masters of Science degree acquired 435 candidates and there were 174 doctoral dissertations. The entire period
since the establishment of the Faculty is characterized by intensive development focused on the following
lessons and educational processes, as it’s modernizing.
2. View of the state of IT at the Faculty of Economics in Sarajevo
The Faculty of Economics is a leader in the whole process of E-education in Bosnia and Herzegovina
by the number of advanced courses, access to e-education and standardization of developed courses, which have
devoted special attention to the aim of obtaining international certification - accreditation. Project E-education,

328

�1. International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 9-10 2009, Sarajevo

meaning Distance Learning (DL), which is developing at the Faculty of Economics as a project of the MIT
(Management and Information Technologies) Center, began in 2005.
The first generation of DL students (of 150) entered the DL study in the 2006/2007 school year. It is
necessary to mention that this is not classical DL studies, but the combination of DL study and standard studies
(70% of classes take place online, 30% in class). The largest part of each exam is graded in class. Today at the
Faculty of Economics in Sarajevo, about 980 students are participating in the DL study and about 120 professors
and assistants are involved.
The Faculty of Economics in Sarajevo, out of all the faculties in the University of Sarajevo, is equipped
with the most technology. It has 340 PCs (20% of the total number of PCs at the University of Sarajevo), 20
laptops and 6 MAC's. Network infrastructure is well made; all desktop computers are linked to the LAN
network. There is also infrastructure for wireless connections (The hot spot in the building is in the square of
liberation and the building at the Skenderija Plateau).
When it comes to the DL project, the technical infrastructure of the Faculty is used, but one mail service
and a computer room with 30 computers is reserved for this project, while other infrastructure is used if
necessary. Nonpermanent faculty employee is not related solely to this project. Carriers of the project are
members of the MIT Department of Economics, University of Sarajevo, together with technical personnel (7 are
actively involved), working on improving service and providing the necessary assistance relevant to professors
who create the DL course, in terms of getting acquainted with the teaching staff from the Moodle platform and
students, who work in the function of the DL operator (13). (Rizvić Amra, 2008)

Research
The comparison of different research may find that the students expressed agreement that the
development of IT raises the quality of study. It is a very small percentage of students who do not agree with the
above statement, with no significant differences by years of study. It is interesting to notice that the students with
the most positive attitude are the students in the final years of study. The reason for this could be that these are
students who began their studies at the Faculty at a time when it was not at this level of IT maturity, and were
witnesses of the progress. Unlike them, students of first, second and third years of study at the faculty come to
the time when the use of information technology is almost the same as today.

Conclusion
Widespread use of technology is changing the way we work, learn, and communicate-even the way we
carry out our regular, daily activities. In high education, technology has had a dramatic impact on teaching and
learning, including service-learning experience. Service-learning classes and activities can be augmented through
the use of technology to provide more effective experience for faculty, students and community participants.
With their ready access to new technologies, higher education institutions are well-positioned to take advantage
of rapid changes in the field.
The process of education in the distance is, "old" is more than a hundred years, and its temporal
development depends on the development and availability of communication media. The first forms of remote
education were based on letters and postal delivery as a communication tool. Recently the field of DL learning
has been intensively studied for several reasons. The belief that the end of any secondary school or faculty stops
the need for learning and education was long ago abandoned. From the introduction of the computer in daily
human environment, human life has required change and adjustment, and training employees in an adequate
way.
In the past 20 years, distance education has become very popular in the world due to the rapid
development of IT. In such a communication based environment, it becomes quite clear that modern
communication has become the basis of human life. So learning with computers and computer networks has
replaced the previously known methods of distance instruction, such as correspondence schools and educational
programs on radio and television. This especially took place in countries where large distances always presented
a problem in the organization of education, which today have developed IT infrastructure, such as Canada, USA,
Australia and South Africa. Internet in these countries successfully overcame spatial distances and very well
replaces all other known media. The purpose and meaning of Web lectures to listeners is that at any time they
have access to teaching materials which are easier and better to be prepared for the coming lessons and exam
preparation. New opportunities and responsibilities in the career of young people in terms of changes in places of
work, change jobs because of better financial conditions, variable working hours, and a large number of
meetings and business trips, work on the ground, etc., give the new generation of students who are able to
finance their education by working, more and more access to learning programs from a distance.
Learning from a distance is a form of modern learning which is applicable to all forms of education
(schools, universities, specialist and postgraduate studies, etc.). Distance learning includes almost all the

essential features of classical learning and by accepting all the benefits of new telecommunications and computer
technology, it is becoming modern.
The process of DL study can be improved with better technical equipment and appropriate
standardization. The need for international accreditation of Faculty, as a carrier of E-education is of extreme
importance.
E-education and this kind of study is the future of the world so Bosnia and Herzegovina should work
hard to be in line with the world’s E-education.

                    <text>About Speech Levels and Interaction between Their Units
H. HAYRULHEY
SamSIFL,Samarkand,Uzbekistan

Abstract:Article is devoted to an actual problem interaction – linguistics of the text and
speech. In article one of pressing questions of modern linguistics – a problem of levels of
speech and definion of units making it is analyzed. As levels of speech are investigated a
phrase (offers), the complex syntactic whole and paragrafh.

Keywords: Linguistics, progress, linguistic communication, speech acts.

Progress achieved in the sphere of world linguistics has been making a great and indisputable contribution
to the development of our science. Only some of the books published during recent years can serve as an evident
to this: V.G. Borobotka “Principle of forming discourse. From psycholinguistics to linguosinergetics”;
KrasnikhV.V. “Ethnopsycholinguistics and linguoculturology”; “Language and knowledge. Parts of speech from
cognitive point of view. The role of language in the world cognition” by Kubriyakova E.S; “The bases of
discourse theory” by Makarov M.D; “Language philosophy. Culture studies and didactics” by Rojdestvenskiy
Y.V; “Keys to communication. The bases of communication theory” by Yakovlev I; “Linguistic communication
and speech acts” by Bach K., Harnish R.M; “Linguistic theory of America” by Newmeyer F.L. and others.
It should be stated that units of each level themselves imply a separate system. The fact that, they enter
into hierarchic relations and join the units of other levels, extends the notion of a system and produces an idea
about a whole -language system. This situation can be observed not only in the relation between the units of
language levels, but also in the combinations of speech units.
When speaking about speech units we must mention that this problem has just been included into the list
of problems discussed in linguistic literature. Scientists have not come to one conclusion concerning the units of
speech and appropriate levels. And the main reason for this that till the present moment linguistics has not
distinguished language and speech, and consequently, language problems has been studied thoroughly, while
speech problems left behind. There are a lot of positive effects of admitting speech linguistics as a separate
branch of linguistics.
Development of speech linguistics as a separate branch indissolubly connected with the demands of
science development; as our traditional linguistics lacks its power and sources to give scientific grounds for text
linguistics and interpret problems connected with it. Besides this, it has become clear that the idea of including
sentence into language units is wrong. But it is also wrong to come to conclusion that speech linguistics is prior
to language linguistics. Speech linguistics is closely related to language linguistics; it deals with interpreting
problems of the units bigger than language units, and their levels.
Even we can say that speech linguistics continues language linguistics. There- fore, units of language and
speech and the hierarchic relationship between them act depending on each other. We can observe this in the
process of segmenting text or when synthesizing text formation by inductive method. So, studying language and
speech separately does not and cannot imply denying relationship between them. We can quote the following
statement of V.B. Kasevich on this point: “We must distinguish language levels (of language system) and levels
of speech activity. If a language level is a separate subsystem of language, that has its rank of language
hierarchy, level of speech – is a separate “tact” or stage of language mechanism’s work, when some concrete
subsystem or concrete language level participates in the process of production or perception of discourse” [1.21].
But V.B.Kasevich emphasizes that sentence and level expressed by it is related to language: “A fragment
of complete information can not be expressed by any other language units smaller than sentence” [1.21]. We
think that the ability of sentence to express a complete idea does not require it’s belonging to language units, as
expression of a message is formed in speech. He gives hints at this idea being not final and writes: “The
problems of the number and quality of language and speech levels activity are far from their final conclusion”
[1.24].
As a matter of fact, levels of speech is a sphere of our linguistics that still needs an explanation; on the
contrary, levels of language are studied thoroughly. It’s known that the number of speech units should coincide
with the number of language units. But there are still no sound ideas about levels of speech because this problem

426

�is controversial. Thus, it is difficult to compare the problems of investigation of speech and language units with
each other.
We have mentioned that the phonematic, the morphematic levels are formed on the basis of such language
units as the phoneme, the morpheme; and, the word and the lexematic level are above all others. The sentence
level which is realized by means of words belongs to speech not language. However, V.M.Solntsev excludes
phraseological units and idioms from this list [2.18]. In our viewpoint the question of phrasemes and idioms is
open. It’s true that most of the phrasemes and idioms can be considered as speech units, as they exist in the
system of our language as ready- made. But wouldn’t it be a mistake if we don’t include into the language units
the phrasemes in the form of sentence like “Alining tarvuzi qo’ltig’idan tushdi” (Ali was disappointed)? Of
course, the components of the phraseme are used in figurative meaning: Ali dropped his water-melon from his
hands.
But still, it is connected with semantic side of the problem. As for the syntactic features, this phraseme
meets all requirements of sentence level. M.Mirtojiev states: “Though phraseme has a form of a phrase or a
sentence and makes a lexical unit, it still possesses its syntactic features. So it is equal to words inside the
sentence and functions as one of them. This can be equally applied to phraseological units in the form of phrase
and those of sentences. But at this point we shouldn’t forget that phraseology is a semantic phenomenon. For this
reason, it can cause only semantic deformation, but not syntactic” [3.187].
Indeed, one type of phraseological units considered as a set phrase is important only from semantic point
of view. But syntactically it’s of no importance. Syntactic relations between the components of phraseological
units can serve as a proof of our words. Sh. Rahmatullaev states to this point: “Syntactic analysis of a phrase
analyzes the structure of language unit, not speech. Generally speaking, syntactic relations between the words
comprising a phrase are constant and always inner” [4.10].
We can agree with considerations of both scientists mentioned above. But still, in Uzbek linguistics we
can not see any research work in the form of monography on syntactic nature of phraseological units.
It is true that we can observe ideas remarks of this kind in recent manuals, educational supplies and some
scientific articles. For example, H.Jamolkhonov states: “Connection of words in phrasemes doesn’t differ from
the one of the words in the structure of free combinations or sentences: they all are connected hierarchically, but:
a) words in free expressions or sentences are connected in the process of speech, while in phrasemes, long
before; and they are set” [5.206].
One more that thing should be stated is: when speaking about phraseological units, we think that
phrasemes in the form of sentences find their real form in speech, while in language they have only patterns
(models).
So, it is appropriate to consider sentence as a speech unit, while word combination as a language one.
First, it stipulates an invariable structure, second, components of word combination in sentence become sentence
components. This includes word combination into the list of speech units, and shows impossibility of
interpreting it as a separate level. The fact that word combination is formed in the process of speech can not
serve as a reason for this point.
The second unit of speech is a complex syntactic construction including several sentences and form
hierarchic relations. Thus complex syntactic construction (traditional complex sentence) needs thorough
investigation. Our linguists give different interpretation not only to the term “complex syntactic structure” but
also to the term “complex sentence”. Some linguists state that it is necessary to stop using the term complex
sentence (Ovsyanko-Kulikovskiy, Sakulina, Kartsevskiy, etc.). They accept only the concept of a (simple)
sentence. However, I.F.Vardul considers that not all complex constructions can be interpreted as simple
sentences. Besides this, according to I.F.Vardulin’s point of view, sentences traditionally called as complex
sentences can not have the status of sentence, compound sentences have this status. But if there are no complex
sentences what is the need of the concept of compound sentences.
Besides all other above mentioned scientists, I.F.Vardul follows L.S.Barkhudarov and G.V.Kolshanskiy
and calls complex sentences as parallel constructions; he states that it is more appropriate to call compound
sentences as whole sentences [6.70].
The unit of speech, which is bigger than sentence, is a paragraph. This status is connected with its
integrative character, as independent sentences, parcelative and attached constructions, complex syntactic
constructions come in the paragraph. L.G.Fridman also mentions paragraph as a unit of speech and says:
“According to communicative plan sentence is the main syntactic unit. Levels bigger than sentence is complex
construction and paragraph. If sentence has been studied from all its aspects, complex syntactic construction and
paragraph have not been studied at all” [7.155-156].
This statement of Fredman is not out of place, of course. But he includes only independent sentences into
the list of paragraph components and ignores complex syntactic construction and other syntactic structures.
Thus, we see that in his above mentioned idea, he emphasizes that complex syntactic construction is a
speech unit. If syntactic construction is a speech unit, it forms bigger unit of speech than sentence, and if it is
used as a paragraph component, it establishes hierarchic relations with it.

427

�We must empathize that paragraph presupposes the highest level of speech and includes independent
sentences as well as complex syntactic constructions; there fore it has integrative character. This is very
important, as hierarchic relations of speech units are connected with that character of paragraph. Besides, this
integrative character measures the degree completeness of the information expressed in the paragraph.
As a conclusion, we include sentence, complex syntactic constructions and paragraph into the list of
speech units and on this basis we state speech levels having the same termination.

Abstract: The study aims to inquire in terms of Larry E. Greiner’s Model of Organizational
Growth in the development process of structural changes in the organizational life. The
present case study explicitly will be able to reveal “how” realizing according to Greiner’s
Model of Organizational Growth. This study will help to understand to us the process of
organizational growth and the content of the subject. In addition this study specifically will
help to understand along with organizational growth which comprising according to phases of
organizational life cycle of the organizational culture and organization structure of the
strategies of Greiner’s Model of Organizational Growth.
Due to such motivating facts as the promise made by organization management beforehand to
allow me to conduct a comprehensive survey, changes in the management styles, adaptation of
the theories of modern management and the ability of ongoing continuous of the growth’s
providing in the extend of qualitative, an advanced and technological manufacturing
environment and a dynamic competitive atmosphere. Kordsa Inc. was chosen to be handled
for our analysis. The research covers prospective practicing of organizational growth and
organization history of Kordsa Inc. from 1973 to 2004 in Turkey.
Key Words: L.Greiner’s Organizational Growth Model, Organizational Life.

1. Introduction
Organizations go through some phases as born, growing, maturity and death like every living
organisms. However organization can be immortal contrary to live organisms in the theory. For immortalizing
their lives, organizations have to manage organizational growth process successfully in the hyper competition
periods.
There are organizational growth models and applications, which were developed in the scope of
organization life cycle, (Sutton at all.,p.45;Miller at all.,p.225; Churchill at all.,p.30-35;Adizes,p.10; Santora at
all.,p.12;Lester at all.p.314) for not terminating and also maintaining organizational growth. Among these
models, Larry E. Greiner’s Organizational Growth Model(Greiner p.55;) is accepted as a classic in organization
literature by organization theorists. Accordingly, Greiner Organizational Growth Model’s theoretical ground
consists of terminating evolutionary problems in organizational growth’s different phases by using revolutionary
solution approaches. Greiner’s Organizational Growth Model, its applications, effects of applications on
organizational structure and organizational culture, effects of Greiner’s Organizational Growth Model
applications in Kordsa Inc. on organizational structure and organizational culture were analyzed in the study.
Filley and Aldag said that “Organizations can harmonize themselves to environmental situations;
however they cannot previously predict this harmonization. At the same time, Filley and Aldag propose that
transitions in organizational growth phases doesn’t happen frequently, and expecting how it will shape advanced
level organization is not possible (Whetteen et all,p.50).. On the other hand, theorists like Cavoie and Culbert
argue that developments in frequent intervals guide organizational transitions truly by the time. (Cavoie et
all.,p.417-420).

2. L. Greiner Organizational Growth Model
Organization theorists developed models trying to explain organizational growth phases. L. Greiner’s
article named “Evolution and Revolution as Organizations Grow” is the most valuable one and is accepted as a
classic. (Bedeian,at all, p.466.). In addition to this, also Kaplan and Johnston modeled organizational growth
from the evolutionary and revolutionary dimensions (Kaplan at all., p.13).
Greiner propose that dissolution of every revolution time interval determines whether organization will
arrive to next evolution phase or not. At the same time, finalization of growth phases cause to arise of
management crises belonging to every phase (Tang etc.p.29).. Greiner analyzed organizations’ growth situations
in five main dimensions. These are from Figure 2; Organization’s Age, Organization’s Size, Evolution Phases,
Revolution Phases and Sector’s Growth Rate.

Greiner Organizational Growth Model consists of five phases and every phase has two dimensions. First
dimension is evolutionary dimension in which organizational growth is stable and calm, another dimension is
revolutionary dimension in which every phase triggers other phase.

Organization comes to the breakpoint while accumulations and tensions in one phase is calm, and
revolution is created to cause radical changes in organizational structure. According to this model, every
structure is valid for a specific time period and organizational change triggers radical structure changes.
Changing organizational structure solves the problems in that time, and prepares infrastructure fort he problems
may occur in the future.

4. Reflections Of Organizational Growth Applications On Organizational Structure
Organizational structures in organizational growth process can adapt to new situations during passing
new phases. These organization structures; Informal Organization Structure, Centralized-Functional
Organization Structure, (Jones,p.453;Greiner, Harvard,p.53).. We will try to analyze organizational growth
reflections on organizational structures which occurs during growth process.

5. Reflections Of Organizational Growth Applications To Organizational Culture
Compatible Organizational culture applications to changing structures are seen in organizational growth
process. In this part, organization cultures (Flamholtz at all.p.314;Schein,p.262,), Entrepreneurship-Power
Culture, Role Culture, Professionalism-Institutionalism-Process Culture, Destek Kültürü, Cooperation Culture
were analyzed.

6. Analysis Of Reflections Of Greiner Organizational Growth Model’s On Organization
Structure And Organization Culture
6.1. Research Purpose
General purpose of the study is analyzing Kordsa Inc.’s organization structure and organization culture
in light of Greiner Organizational Growth Model.

261

�1. International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 9-10 2009, Sarajevo

Answers to research questions determined in the framework of this general purpose will be searched in
the light of data gathered.
• How do Kordsa organizational growth applications change according to L. E. Greiner Organizational
Growth Model applications?
• How are the reflections of Kordsa organizational growth applications on organization culture
according to organization life cycle phases seen from the perspective of G Model?
6.2. Scope Of Research
Selection of the organization using organizational growth application effectively has big importance for
arriving the aim of the study. Therefore, Compatibility of main parameters in E. Greiner’s Organizational
Growth Model like Organization Age, Organization Size, Evolution Phases, Revolution Phases and Growth Rate
of The Sector Kordsa Inc.’s organization structure, became effective to determine sample organization in the
study.
6.3. Research Method
The study is a qualitative research. Semi structured interview technique and content anaylsis were used
in this qualitative research. In this study, as one of case study techniques, technique was chosen.
Semi structured interview technique was applied to executives. Data intended for organization growth
applications, the subject of the study, was tried to be obtained. In content analysis, records, activity reports about
phases of managements’ foundation to now, and data from management proceeding handbooks were analyzed.
6.4. Research Limitations
Main constraint in the study is there is no empirical study on organizational growth from the perspective
of organization life cycle in our literature. Furthermore, executives didn’t reply some questions by accepting
them as a company secret.
6.5. Research Results And Evaluation
a. Results and Evaluation About the Relationship between L. Greiner’s Organizational Growth Model
Applications and Organization Structure and Organization Culture
L. Greiner’s Organizational Growth Model Applications has effect on organization culture and
organization culture according to organization life phases. According to these phases an organization structure in
newly founded organization goes through phases in order of; informal organization structure, centralizedfunctional organization structure,, matrix organization structure. At the same time, organization cultures in this
phase are; entrepreneur-power culture, role culture, professionalism-institutionalism-process culture, support
culture and cooperation culture.
b. Results and Evaluation About the Relationship between L. Greiner’s Organizational Growth Model
Applications and Organization Structures in Organization Life Cycle Phases
In the research, by making observation-interview-document analysis researches it was found that,
sample has passed first four phases and now in the fifth phase in organizational structure changes shaped by
phases at Greiner Organizational Gowth Model applications.
After making observation-interview-document analysis researches it was found that organizational
structure in this phase has organic organization structure qualifications consisting of matrix organizations.
c. Results and Evaluation About the Relationship between L. Greiner’s Organizational Growth Model
Applications and Organization Culture in Organization Life Cycle Phases
After making observation-interview-document analysis researches it was found that Creativity, sharing,
harmony and role culture is dominant from the foundation date of Kordsa 1973 to 1987.
In 1987 by organizational growth, Kordsa’s organization structure transformed to divided structure,
Kordsa’s production capacity increased, and Kordsa started to enter wide markets. In this phase, deficient culture
transformed to support culture.
In 1994, institutionalism-professionalism-process culture was started to be applied.

In 1998, Kordsa made a %50-50 cooperation with Dupont and in 2004 it bought remaining shares of
Dupont. By this, this corporation transformed to a global structure from organizational dimension. In this phase,
“cooperation culture” was seen. Similar results were found in literature review.

7. Results and Suggestions
Kordsa Inc. was founded in 1973 and consequently it was understood that it is important to analyze
organization’s age, including periodical applications between 1973-2004 years and as anticipated in Greiner
Organizational Growth Model.
Organizations’ growth and maturation arise in evolutionary process. This evolutionary phase, is long
growth process defined as “specific time interval”. Kordsa Inc. experienced evolutionary process among the
periods 1973-1981, 1981-1987, 1987-1990, 1990-1998, 1998-2004.
Unimpeded evolution is not inevitable and is not sustainable indefinitely. Organizations enter a
revolutionary process by the crisis after evolutionary phases. Kordsa Inc. experienced these processes among the
years 1987-1990 and 1998-2004.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new forecasting method for a marketing decision model. To
support the modeling process, a fuzzy expert system was designed to determine whether a
new product should enter the market. The fuzzy expert system based model presenting of a
new product to the market at the best time will provide an advantage to the companies in
competitive environment and increase their share of the market. In the final stage of this
framework, algorithms for building fuzzy expert systems are explained and applied to a case
study. The proposed method was tested with an actual data load of product life cycle.

Keyword: fuzzy expert system; product life cycle; marketing decision model

Introduction
Real-world decision-making is much too complex, uncertain and imprecise to lend itself to precise,
prescriptive analysis.Itisthis realization that underlies the rapidly growing shiftfrom conventional techniques
of decision analysis to technologies based on fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic was originally proposed as a means of
representing uncertainty and formalizing qualitative concepts that have no precise boundaries. So far, of fuzzy
logic has gained much more attention in engineering applications than in business and finance applications, but
an even larger potential existsinthe latterfields (Facchinetti et al., 2003 &amp; Yavuz et al.).
Fuzzy logic is an excellent way to combine Artificial Intelligence methods (Zadeh, 1993). Fuzzy set
theory and fuzzy logic provide a general method for handling uncertain and vague information, which
unfortunately are unavoidable in many real world decision-making processes (Frantti &amp; Mahonen, 2001). Fuzzy
logic avoids the abrupt change from one discrete output state to another when the input is changed only
marginally. Thisis achieved by a quantization of variablesinto membership functions (Herrmann, 1995).
Expert systems were designed to reason through knowledge to solve problems using the same methods
that humans use. A fuzzy expert system is an expert system that utilizes fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic to overcome
some ofthe problems which occur when the data provided by the user are vague orincomplete.
In this paper, we illustratethatthe fuzzy approach may be usefulin industrial economics.In particular, a
fuzzy expert system has been adapted for product life cycle management. The well-known product life cycle
approach describes the changing features of markets during their evolution. It may therefore serve as a
theoreticalframework within which market changes can be explained (Klepper &amp; Graddy, 1990). To supportthe
decision process, a fuzzy expert system was designed to determine whether to enter of a new product into the
market. Finally, when operating the fuzzy expert system, three different deductions can be made:the preservation
of the present status,the introduction ofthe new productto the market and the withdrawal of the productfrom the
market.
The organization of this paper is organized as follows: Section 2 briefly summarizes the basic principles
ofthe productlife cycle. Section 3 provides an overview of the Fuzzy expertsystems.In section 4 (the main part
of this paper),the major modeling issues ofthe study are examined, based on a fuzzy expert system. This paper
concludes with a summary ofthe findings and directions for future research.

Product Life Cycle
All products and services have certain life cycles. Life cycle refers to the period from the product’s first
launch into the market untilits final withdrawal. The life cycleis split up in phases. Since an increase in profits
isthe major goal of a company that introduces a product into a market,the product’s life cycle management is
very important(Komninos, 2002). New product failures may occur because of an overestimation of market size,
product design problems,Incorrectly positioned, priced or advertised products,costs of product development and
/ or competitive actions (Kotler &amp; Armstrong, 2001).
Although the life cycle varies in accordance with the product and sector base,the product’slife cycle –
period usually consists of five major phases as shown in (Fig. 1). The first period is the product development
phase, the second period is the entrance phase, the third period is the growth phase, the fourth period is the
maturity phase and the fifth period is the satisfaction phase. The product development phase begins when a
company finds and develops a new productidea. The entrance phase isthe period of a product’s presentation to
the market and the effort spent for its acceptance. Generally, this isthe period of catching up at par point. The
growth phase is the best step, where the product has reached its maximum profit and has been through its
brightest period. In the maturity phase, problems gradually arise up and in sales startto decrease. Despite this
sales decrease, companies try to keep their sales high by using other marketing activities,called sales efforts.In
that period increase in sales like jumping sales (comb tooth) occur. It is generally agreed that innovation,
performance, and competition depend significantly on the maturity ofthe markets(Dosi,1997). The Satisfaction
phase isthe period thatthe companies prefer notto be in because they willstarttolose in a while.
During the maturity period, significant changes are made in the way that the product is behaving in the
market. Presentation of a new product to the market at the best time will provide an advantage to competing
companies and increase their share ofthe market (Leenders &amp; Wierenga, 2002).

Figure 1: Life cycle period of a new product
In the conventional productlife cycle,introduction of a new productto the market corresponds point "A"
in (Fig. 1) (http://www.otterbein.edu/home/fac/brccbly/courses/images/plc.gif). When a company comes to this
point atthe end of the maturity period, it has to choose one of these alternatives: new product, new market, or
withdrawal of goods from the market,so as notto enterinto the 5-th period.
As shown in Point "A" (McDonald, 1995)the existing system is considered to be lateforthe new product
to enter the market. This point is the period in which the company withstands a number of costs called other
sales efforts(promotion, excess goods, discount, etc.)to keep the sales active.Itis plain to see from a review of
the conventionallife cycle that profit has started to fallin spite ofthe increase in sales.
The proposed system attempts to determine the point specified as point "A" in (Fig. 1) by means of the
expertsystem. Inthis proposed structure, point "A" can be taken to an earliertime than in the existing policies.In
the operation ofthe system, productlife cycle maturity period characteristics will be reviewed and efforts will be
made to determine the most suitable time for presentation ofthe productto the market by evaluating the factors
called as macro and micro marketindicators.
There are some major productlife cycle managementtechniques that can be used to optimize a product’s
revenues in respect to its position in a market and its life cycle. These techniques are mainly marketing or
management strategies that are used by most companies worldwide and include the know-how of product
242

upgrade,replacement and termination.
Nevertheless, a product manager must know how to recognize which phase of itslife cycle a product is
in,regardless ofthe problems inthe model discussed above. To do that,a good method is the one which follows
(Komninos, 2002):
a.Collection ofinformation aboutthe product’s behavior over a period atleast of 3–5 years. (Information
willinclude price, units sold,profit margins,return ofinvestment – ROI, market share and value).
b.Analysis of competitor short-term strategies (analysis of new products emerging into the market and
competitor-announced plans about production increase, plant upgrade and product promotion).
c.Analysis ofthe number of competitorsin respect of marketshare.
d.Collection ofinformation ofthe life cycle of similar productsthat will help to estimate the life cycle of
new products.
e.Estimation of sales volume for 3 – 5 years from productlaunch.
f.Estimation of the total costs compared to the total sales for 3 – 5 years after product launch
(development, production, promotion costs).
Strategies that must be applied as soon as the phase of product life cycle is recognized are given in the
(Tab. 1) (Komninos, 2002).

Fuzzy Expert Systems
A fuzzy expertsystem is an expertsystem that utilizesfuzzy sets and fuzzy logicto overcome some of the
problems which occur when the data provided by the user are vague and incomplete.Itconsists of a fuzzification
module, an inference engine, a fuzzy rule base and a defuzzification module. The fuzzification module preprocesses the input values submitted to the fuzzy expert system.

Figure 2: Structure ofthe fuzzy expert system
The inference engine usesthe results ofthe fuzzification module and accessesthe fuzzy rulesinthe fuzzy
rule base to infer whatintermediate and output values to produce. The final output ofthe fuzzy expert system is
provided by the defuzzification module. The structure of the developed system is shown in (Fig. 2). This
structure is common for fuzzy inference systems.

Developed Marketing Decision Model
In this study, a new marketing decision model was developed, whose structure identifies the fuzzy logic
inference flow from the input variablestothe output variables. The fuzzification inthe inputinterfacestranslates
analog inputs into fuzzy values. The fuzzy inference takes place in rule blocks, which contain the linguistic
control rules. The outputs of these rule blocks are linguistic variables. The defuzzification in the output
interfaces translatesthem into analog variables. The decision tree ofthe modelis shown in (Fig. 3).

The fuzzification method, “Compute membership function (MBF)”,isthe standard fuzzification method
used in almost all applications. This method only storesthe definition points ofthe membership functions in the
generated code and computes the fuzzification atruntime.
For output variables, different defuzzification methods exist as well. The most often used method is
center-of-maximum (“Co M”), which delivers the best compromise of the firing rules (Von Altrock, 1997;
Bojadziev &amp; Bojadziev, 1997).
In (Fig. 4),the rule block ofthe structure ofthe fuzzy logic system is shown. This block containsthe rules
of the system describing the control strategy. Rule blocks contain the control strategy of afuzzy logic system.

Each rule block confines allthe rules for the same context. A context is defined by the same input and
output variables of the rules. The ‘IF' part of the rules’ describe the situation for which the rules are designed.
The ‘THEN’ part describes the response of the fuzzy system in this situation. The degree of support (DoS) is
used to weigh each rule according to itsimportance, which ranges from zero to one.
Global market indicators, overall economic situation and legal and political circumstances prevailing in

Table 6: Summary of project
As a result of operating the expert system, three different deductions can be made: preservation of the
present status,introduction of a new producttothe market and the withdrawal ofthe productfrom the market,i.e.:
If PERFOR M A NCE = Active Then “Preserve the present status”
If PERFOR M A NCE = Passive Then “Introduce the new producttothe market”
If PERFOR M A NCE = Bad Then “Withdraw the product from market”

Results
The fuzzy expert system-based marketing decision model, which defines the product life cycle, was
implemented in an automated knowledge base. Our model was constructed using FuzzyTech as an expert system
development tool for determining productlife cycle. The Productlife cycle maturity period characteristics were
reviewed and efforts were made to determine whethertointroduce the productintothe market or not. As a result
of operating the expert system, three different deductions can be made: “preservation of the present status”,
“introduction ofthe new producttothe market” and “withdrawal ofthe productfrom the market”.

Conclusion
In this paper, we propose a way to deal with product life cycle management. This new idea is to
reproduce what fuzzy expert system does when they have to decide a new product’s market entering time.
Values taken by these reviewed factors are interpreted by means of the fuzzy expert system and the best
decision forthe company is made. As a result ofthe study,the most suitabletime forintroduction ofthe product
to the market can be determined, instead of withstanding the costs of other sales efforts and losing profit or
risking the loss of market share during the product's maturity period.
In further research, to get a most realistic model,itis possible to add quantitative parameters to model
such as production per unittime, wasting machine hours,labor hours,and raw material. Besides,to adapting this
model to reallife, generalrules should be extended. For example,to define political circumstances of the target
society, new rules set can be added to model.

Abstract: Natural water resources had been threaten by increase of temperature due to global
warming and not proper usage of them this causing health problems both for human and
aquatic environment.
Therefore new studies have been forced in the rehabilitation and sustainable usage of water
sources recently in the world.
In this paper information about their currency state and future projections is given based on
many published data.
Keywords: water resources, Turkey, sustainable

Introduction
One of the important vital resources of sustainable development is water. World population in
20.century increased approximately three fold in proportion to 19.century. On the contrary it is seen that
utilization of water resources increased six fold.
However the fast consumption doesn’t have properties about providing equal opportunities and benefits
to beneficiaries of resources. Swedish hydrologist Malin Falkenmark points out that annual capitation of
agricultural, domestic-urban,industrial water demand limit of minimum sufficiency is 1000m3 in a country. So
under thislimit means poverty in point of water. There are water famines especially in three regions of world at
presenttime. These are Africa,the Middle East and South Asia.
In 20.century,itis written official enrolments thatthe speed of water consumption increase istwo half
fold of the speed of population increase broad world. Even the Middle East in which has trouble with water
problem, the rate of population increase exceeds %3 in lots of counties, and new generation doubles up the
previous one numerically. On the other hand,itis guessed that with the increasing population in the developing
countries in 20 years,in ratio of %17 more water will be needed to grow food products. On that account,itis
guessed that the increase in total water consumption will be %40 in 2025. According to World Bank experts’
guesses, the number of countries which have substantially troubles with water famine is anticipated to rise to
%34, and itis pointed outthatmore than 3 billion people will be faced with water famine in 2025.
Water crisis is described like that over one billion people’s not gaining enough access to healthy
333

�1st International Syposium on Sustainable Development, June 9-10 2009, Sarajevo

drinking water and half of world population’s not having enough water and groundwork of waste water. So,
unavoidable water crisisis possiblein the whole world.
On the other hand, according to evaluations, dirty waters cause %80 of illness in developing countries,
and death of approximately 10 million people ever year. The recession of water quality and the anxieties about
qualification of water provided that water resources are included in environmental protection and development
content of United Nations Environment Program.
Turkey’s Water Potential and Assessment of Situation
W hen the water potential of a country, which is reinforced by rainfall, is divided to population,
capitation of annual average of water amount is gotten. It does not mean thatthe water potential of a country is
always usable property. There are important differences between the total water potential and usable water
potentialin countries where rivers have irregular flow.
Turkey is 779.425 square kilometersintotal area,land area is 765.152 square kilometers and water area
is 14.300 square kilometers.
The climate of Turkey is semiarid and there are excessivetemperature differences among some regions.
Annual average amount of rainfallis 643m m3 (TUĐK 2008). Water resources are limited according to irrigable
solid in Thrace and Central Anatolia regions, in Eastern Black Sea is reverse of this. Underground and
aboveground waters of our country are given in Table 1 and 2.

Table 2. Underground Waters (billion m3) (Kıran, 2005)
W hen population increase of our country is considered, capitation amount of annual water is guessed
2750m3 in 2010; capitation amount of usable wateris 1300m3 in same term. It shows thatthere will be critical
deficiency of waterin furtheryears especially in arid yearsin some parts of country (Kıran, 2005).
W hile the annual population increase is %2.3 in Turkey, this rate is %3.6 in Southeastern Anatolia
Project region, and this is twofold of %1.8 increase in world. Actually when capitation annual water amount is
considered,the common aspectisthat Turkey is not a rich country about water resources. The capitation annual
amount of water is 1300m3 in our country. However this amount is 3000m3in Asia, 5000 in Western Europe,
7000 in Africa, 18000 in North America, 23000 in South America and 7600m3 in overallworld (Türkkan 2009).
The Possible Effects of Global Warming and Insensible Use of Water to Our Country’s Water Resources
All world countries and science world started to ponder about more productive use and development
sustainability of available water resources because of global warming and unconscious usage of natural water
resources.
Global warming is named shortly “the rising oftemperature on surface of atmosphere, oceans, and land
masses”. The cause of this warming is guessed as greenhouse gases which are included to atmosphere with the
burn of fossilfuelslike coal, natural gas, crude oil.
Global warming started to produce clearly its effects in our country too like whole world. Turkey is in
the risk group countries about potential effects of global warming. Our country will be affected by negative part
of global warming like forestfires, arid, desertification and especially reducing of water resources.
According to V. technical report of IPCC, which was published in 2002, it is made determined that
temperature increases to 0.25°C every 10 years in Turkey, there is fall average %10 in rainfall, when a line is
drawn from Samsun to Adana between 2071-2100 years, its west part will warm up 3-4°C, its east part will
warm up around 4-5°C, daily rainfall amount will fallto 0.25mm, vaporization and evaporation willincrease,
summer aridity will increase, there will be decline in fish species which live in interior waters depending on
reducing in waterresources (Atalık 2005). Againitis made determined alot ofresearchesin paralleltoreport of
IPCC; the negative effect of climate change to water resources will be pretty much in 10 yearsterms to come.
One of the biggest problems of available recourses is water pollution when itis considered that aridity
334

�1st International Syposium on Sustainable Development, June 9-10 2009, Sarajevo

and desertification problems will increase more with global warming in our country which takes place in arid
and semiarid belt.
Natural water resources are become dirty and unusable by upward industry and industrialization, and
polluting resources day by day. Water pollution is one ofthe mostimportant environment problems in nowadays
(Uslu &amp;Türkman 1987). Chemical pollutions are frequently come across by usage of pesticide and chemical
drug in agriculturalstrife withthe development ofindustry and industrialization especially late yearsin waters of
our country (Sönmez et al. 2008). Wash, which is a physical pollution,is one of the biggest problems of water
resources. Our barrages are established for kind of aim with big investments, another aim of them is irrigation.
Our barrages fillin shortertime than estimated economic life with soil materials which are carried by river and
surface flows. Generally economic lives of barrages are determined 50 years, butitisseen thatsome barrages fill
in 15-20 years with the effectof excessive wash (Karamanlı13 years, Altınapa 10 years, Kemer 22 years).
Itis clear that our country’s water resources are become weak day by day, and they are not developed
enough according to upward population. So, itis possible that there will be water problems in 10 years in our
country which is not water wealthy.
Water Policy of Turkey and the Conformity with World Strategies
Turkey aims to join European Union in the near future. With this aim, our country has to make
consistent own legislation to legislation of Union and has to make applicable this new legislation. Water Frame
Directive was prepared frame by European Union in 1996 and put into effect in 2000. It is a conjunctive
directive to all member countries and candidate countries in concession process. The necessary precautions and
constitutionaltransforms of candidate member countries are clear especially. The two main titles of Water Frame
Directive of European Union attract attention. First of them is “Usage of Sustainable Water” (80/68/EEC) topic
(Efeoğlu, 2005). To provide continuity of available resources is emphasized and to constitute necessary
substructure about financial supportis wanted in this main title. The otherimportanttitle is “Aquatic Ecosystem
and Prevention of Waters”. In other words to prevent pollution in available resources and to avert damage to
nature stabilityis aimed.
W hen the two materials are handled holistically, providing sustainability and averting pollution of our
available resources are only possible with again attend to production with make refining of used waters or return
them to nature stability. The same situation appears when development and strategic plans of our country are
looked at. The two provisions support regulation of management of resource in 9th development plan of 20072013 years.“Environmental Protection and Development of Urban Groundwork” title of plan is 159.provision.It
emphasizes that “Fast population increase and industrialization duration continue to be an importantforce factor
on sustainable usage of natural resources. The uncertainties in distribution of duty and authority between
institute and institution about protect environment and not being negative affected of production duration about
sustainable usage of natural resources have not been dispelled sufficiently.” 162. Provision points out the
agreement on the topic that “United Nations Climate Change Frame Engagement was approved by the Turkish
National Assembly in 24 May 2004.
As a conclusion, our resources are limited and bounded sustainability because of industrialization,
upward population and especially climate change. First ofthese resource are waters without doubt. So the waters
which are used in areas ofindustry,industrialand production, are necessary totake for provident and refinement
certainly.

Conclusion
Water resources should be used to satisfy the needs of present day and future for the protection of
ecolojic stability and also providing sustainable devepment of human societies. It is more important for our
country which isin the risk group countries because of global climate change. The mostimportant solution way
isthe providing sustainability of available resources. Our rivers, which are the most important renewable water
resources, should be used consciously, should be protected regime of them, short built dimension catchments
should be constituted and evaluated instead of high built dimension catchments. Waters, which are used in
industry and industrial,should be returned to natural environment with least damage afterrefinement. Economic
lives of river,lake and barrages should be lengthened with taking necessary precautions about erosion and water
pollution which is based on agricultural pest control. To constitute an applicable “Sustainable Water Policy” is
necessary with founding a functional government unit and determining inventories of water resources. The most
important ofthem isto encourage people about conscious water usage, and stoping waste should be emphasized
because wateris not an endless resource.

Fiscal Framework of Sustainable Development
Abdulkadir IŞIK
Pamukkale University
Abstract : The achievement of sustainable development—combining economic development,
social development, and environmental protection—is a key
challenge facing the
international community. To this end, progress will beneeded in a number of different policy
areas, with the right mix of policies varying from country to country. The purpose of this
paper is to explore the relationships between fiscal policy—the range of the government’s
taxing and spending decisions—and the economic, social, and environmental aspects of
sustainable development.. Fiscal policy is central to the work of the all fiscal institutions,
whose mandate is to promote international monetary cooperation, the balanced growth of
international trade, exchange stability, and orderly exchange arrangements. Fulfilling this
mandate is the insititutions primary contribution to sustainable development. Finaly this paper
discussed fiscal activities of any economic system effect on the sustainable development.
Keywords: Sustainable development, Fiscal Framework, and Institutions

1. The Terms of Sustainable Development
The concept of sustainable development is about ensuring that the costs of one generation’s activities do
not compromise the opportunities of future generations. It stresses the long term compatibility of the economic,
social and environmental dimensions of human well-being. There are tax aspects of various significances in
these three dimensions, some of which are under the primary responsibility of developing countries.
Part of economic growth in some country is achieved through policies that allow and sometimes even
encourage businesses and people not to think and act in a sustainable way.
The current debate often centres on specific fiscal remedies to address sustainable development issues.
From the perspective of developing counties, such measures would typically include the use of targeted taxes or
tax incentives to encourage / discourage specific behaviour that affect economic, environmental or social
sustainability, such as the adoption of environmental taxes; or tax incentives to attract Foreign Direct
Investment; or tax incentives for continuing education. From the perspective of OECD countries, there is also a
recurrent debate concerning the possible creation of new taxes in wealthy countries to collect funds that would
be allocated to development projects in less developed countries (e.g. the Tobin tax)
Sustainable development has three pillars—economic development, social development, and
environmental protection.1 It entails “. . . balancing the economic, social, and environmental objectives of
society . . . integrating them wherever possible through mutually supportive policies and practices and making
trade-offs where (this) is not possible. This includes, in particular, taking into account the impact of present
decisions on the options of future generations.”2 In September 2000, the member states of the United Nations
underscored the importance of sustainable development by re-affirming the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs), a set of time-bound targets for improving human development along several important dimensions.
Fiscal policy—the range of the government’s taxing and spending decisions—has important effects on all
aspects of sustainable development: economic, social, and environmental. Fiscal policy affects sustainable
development through its effects on growth, the environment, and human resource development. These effects
operate at both a macroeconomic level and through the myriad ways in which governments’ tax and spending
decisions affect incentives to work, spend, save, and invest. Fiscal policy is central to the work of the lot of fiscal
institutions.

2. Revenue Composition and Growth
An efficient and fair tax system is an important component of a growth strategy. While foreign aid can
make an important contribution, the main source of finance for a country’s public expenditure must be its own
tax revenue. This requires an effective tax administration and a tax policy that minimizes distortions to ensure
that the best use is made of resources across the economy. To minimize distortions, tax systems should avoid
excessive complexity, focusing on taxing a broad range of goods and services at relatively uniform rates. Income
taxation also has a role to play, although weak administrative capacity limits revenue from this source in many

401

developing countries. Tax systems should also be sensitive to the possibility of market failure, not least in
relation to the use of the environment and natural resources, and be administered in a manner that is transparent,
impartial, and rules-based.

3. Expenditure Composition and Growth
Allocating a higher share of public spending to physical and human capital formation can also promote
growth. Investments in physical capital, such as roads and other infrastructure, can increase the economy’s
productive capacity.23 Although the efficacy of such investment varies across projects and countries, recent
research indicates that it may have a significant impact on economic growth. One study finds, for instance, that
an increase in public investment in transportation and communication of percent of GDP is associated, on
average, with an increase in annual per capita GDP growth of as much as 0.6 percentage points.
A better-educated and healthier population contributes to growth. Beyond their direct effects on wellbeing, improvements in the education and health status of the population also increase worker productivity.
Reductions in communicable diseases such as malaria have positive spillover effects on growth by promoting
tourism and foreign direct investment. Indeed, it has been estimated that each 10 percent improvement in life
expectancy at birth can raise the per capita GDP growth rate by 0.4 percentage points. Although it has been
difficult for economic research to quantify the magnitude of the effect of education on growth, there is
nonetheless evidence that it can be significant. Economic growth, in turn, has beneficial effects on education
attainment and health status, contributing to a virtuous cycle of stronger education, health, and growth. Physical
and human capital spending should also be protected during fiscal adjustments. Fiscal consolidations that protect
capital expenditure tend to be both more sustainable and better for growth. This finding reinforces the notion that
reorienting public expenditures away from less productive spending, such as untargeted subsidies, and toward
more productive spending, such as investments in physical and human capital, facilitates growth in many
countries in both the short and long runs.

4. Fiscal Policy for a Sustainable Environment
In both developed and developing countries, fiscal policy has an important role to play in assuring
sustainable use of natural resources and safe guarding the environment. This applies to both the tax and spending
sides of the government’s budget. On the former,
Taxes can be used to ensure that prices reflect the full social costs of producing goods and services. This
type of pricing is most conducive for growth over the long term. The prices charged for petroleum products, for
instance, need to reflect not only the cost of buying or selling them on the world market but also the social costs
of the airborne pollution their usage can create and—in the absence of better-targeted instruments, such as toll
charges—the congestion associated with motor vehicle use.

5. Sustainable Development and Governance
Poor governance poses a number of obstacles to human development. Corruption results in the
allocation of budgetary resources for unproductive programs and inefficiencies in public spending, which
reduces the effectiveness of outlays on social and poverty-reducing programs in fostering social development.
Poor governance results in budgetary allocations tilted in favor of less-productive investment projects and
defense-related spending and against nonwage operations and maintenance expenditures, which reduces the
quality and productivity of existing infrastructure. Corruption also reduces revenue and therefore the ability of
the government to mobilize the resources needed to finance critical poverty-reducing programs. Corruption
results in the poor capturing a smaller share of the benefits from public spending and, more generally, in higher
poverty and income inequality. Good governance is essential to ensuring that higher social spending translates
into better social outcomes. Even if spending is allocated to propoor activities, public funds must be used for
their intended purposes to ensure that these outlays have a positive impact on human development. As such, a
sound public expenditure management (PEM) system and transparency in government operations are pivotal not
only for good macroeconomic management but also for good governance. Good governance is also essential for
promoting environmental sustainability. Progress in alleviating environmental problems in developing countries
has been slow, often owing to ill-defined property rights regimes, corruption, and a general lack of capacity and
political will at the national level.53 The IMF’s general emphasis on improving the quality and transparency of
spending decisions has improved the effectiveness of developing countries’ environmental and other spending.
In Brazil, for example, federal spending on environmental protection programs grew during an IMF-supported
program.

Conclusions
The international financial institutions (IFIs) need to continue to provide financial support to countries
pursuing sustainable growth and poverty-reduction strategies. In this regard, IFIs need to ensure that such
support is used to promote strategies that are country-owned and developed with input from PSIA. In countries
where the institutional capacity to develop and implement such strategies is weak, it is essential for IFIs to
provide technical assistance, including in public expenditure management, Finally, international financial
institutions should foster more extensive dialogue with member country governments and civil society to
improve communication and better explain the rationale for their policies. Also National budgets are at the heart
of the macroeconomic policy. They reflect choices that government have made, but more fundamentally they
reflect the values and the claims made on resources by various social groups, i.e. the balance of power within a
society.

Abstract: Fifteen narbon vetch (Vicia narbonensis L.) lines obtained from ICARDA
were used in this study. The highest seed yield (1163 kg/ha) was obtained by the line
2390, the lowest seed yield was obtained (1110 kg/ha) by the line 2561. As an
average, the 1000-seed weight ranged between 171.4 g and 318.8 g, whereas biological
yield ranged between 4043 kg/ha and 7899 kg/ha. It has been found that the
relationship among the traits varied according to the years. Although there were
negative correlations (-0.656**) between 1000-seed weight and seed per pod, and also
there was positive correlations (0.830**) between 1000-seed weight and pod length.
The biological yield was positively correlated (0.680**) with pod length and 1000seed weight. Except for the plant height, there was no significant correlation between
the seed yield and other characteristics in summer sown lines.
Keywords: Narbon vetch (Vicia narbonensis L.), plant height, 1000-seed weight,
biological yield, seed yield, relationship between seed yield and other traits.

Introduction
In the arid and semi-arid regions of Turkey,traditional cereal/fallow cropping systems are practiced by
majority ofthe farmers. Every year,about 16.7 million ha are under cultivation and 5.1 million ha areleft as a
fallow (Anonymous, 1998). Hence, approximately one fifth of the crop land is left as a fallow for 12-14
months. Central and southeastern areas generally receive lessthan 500 mm average annual precipitation during
December and May months. Plant growth is seriously affected by the amount and distribution of rainfall. The
fallow practice could be ended by using suitable cropping system intransitional regions having 400-500 m m or
more annual rainfall (Acikgoz 1988, Iptas et al. 1994). Tokat Province is located in the region of the
Transitional climate. Hence,the amount of rainfall varies according to year-to-year. Since the fallow area was
25.1% of the total cropland in the year 1980, it reduced to 8.9 % in the year 2000. The area obtained by
reducing fallow area can be used to grow chick-pea,lentiland vetch species. Vetch species are grown either as
pure stand or as a mixture with cereals for green herbage, hay and seed production. Narbon vetch (Vicia
narbonensis L.)is grown for seed production widely in arid and semi-arid regions (Acikgoz, 1988; Eason et al.
1987; ICARD A 1988). Buyukburc et al.(1994),Iptas et al.(1994), Buyukburc &amp; Iptas (2001) have found that
narbon vetch has a potentialimportance for seed production, when sown either in autumn or in spring in Tokat
Province. Major portion of precipitation occursin early spring monthsin Tokat Province. Climatic conditions are
suitable between the end of February and the second quarter of March for spring sowings. Narbon vetch crop
when sown as spring legume under Tokat ecological condition will getit’sseed maturation within 119-128 days.
The seed of narbon vetch contains about 20-32 % protein,hence itis expected to play a very importantrole in
the dietary of broiler chickens (Abd-el Moneim 1992, Eason et al. 1990, Thomson et al. 1990). The straw is
palatable as a forage for sheep (ICARDA, 1989).
The objectives of this study are to: (i) determine the yield and the yield components, (ii) determine the
relationship between the seed yield and other agronomic traits.

Material and Methods
This study was carried out during the year 1995 and 1996 under Tokat-Kazova (40o 13I -40o 22I N, 36o 1I 36 40 E, elevation 623 m) ecological conditions by growing narbon vetch lines as a spring crop. Some climatic
data regarding the research area are given in Table 1. As itis seen in Table 1 that total rainfall of 236.8 mm,
354.1 mm and 203.6 mm was recorded between March and June months during the 1995, 1996 and long
durations, respectively. In 1996, the amount of rainfall was higher than the year 1995 and long durations.
Almost half of the annual rainfall has fallen into March and June months in Tokat-Kazova region as long
durations. The study soils are slightly alkalinein reaction, medium in calcium carbonate content, medium to poor
in P content, high in K content and medium to poor in organic matter.

Fifteen genotypes of narbon vetch were used; 2561 and 2393 accession, Syria origin; 2380, 2383, 2390,
2391, 2392, 2467 and 2468 accession, Lebonan origin; 2461, 2462, 2464, 2465 and 2466 accession, Turkey
origin. The experiments were carried out as a randomized complete block design with three replications. The
seed bed was prepared conventionally and the plots seeded as 200 seed/plot on 5th March 1995 and 12th March
1996,in rows spaced 30 cm apart with four rows. Before seeding, 30 kgN/ha and 60 kg P2 O5/ha were uniformly
broadcast on allthe plots. The plots were weeded manually throughoutthe growing season as and when needed.
At harvest, measurements on the plant height, pod per plant, number of seed per pod, and pod length were also
recorded for each plot. These measurements were obtained from 10 plant for each plot. The plots were handharvested at the surface of soil and plants were weighed in order to determine the biological yield. After
thrashing, clean seeds were weighed and the 1000-seed weight was determined. The harvest index was
calculated by dividing the seed yield by total biological yield. Harvests were finished between 15-30 June in
both years. The analysis of variance of the years 1995, 1996 and means of 2 years were done, and average
differences were determined by Least Significant Difference (LSD) test as suggested by Duzgunes (Duzgunes et
al. 1987). Also, the General Linear Model procedure of SAS was used to determine the simple correlation
coefficients among all measured variables.

Results and Discussion
Yield And Yield Components
Plant height of narbon vetch lines are presented in Table 2. As itis seen in Table 2, that plant height
varied between 53.0 and 77.3 cm (average of two years). Highest plant height was observed for line 2468,
lowestforline 2390.

Table 3: Pod lenght, 1000 seed weight and biological yield of narbon vetch lines
The number of pod per stem was more during the year 1996 than 1995 (Table 2). The increase in the
number of pod per stem was probably due to rainfall distribution during the vegetative stage. Buyukburc &amp; Iptas
(2001) also reported thatthe amount of rainfall had more effect on the number of pod per stem. Mean pod length
ranged from 44.6to 56.3 mm in 1995, 47.6to 62.3 mm in 1996 and 46.1to 57.9 mm as a mean oftwo years. The
difference among lines are statistically significant atthe 0.01 level.Increased number of pod per plantincreased
the pod length because of the more rainfall happened during the year 1996. This result confirms the findings of
Buyukburc &amp; Iptas (2001). The resultsregarding the number of seed per pod is given in Table 2. As itis seen in
Table 2,thatthe number of seed per pod varied according to the years. This difference in general was related to
the amount of rainfall. The number of seed per pod was the highest (4.6 seed/pod) in line-2561 and the lowest
(3.7 seed/pod)in line-2464 and line-2388. Forthe 2-year average,significant differences (P&lt;0.01)in 1000-seed
weight were found among narbon vetch lines (Table 3). Weight of 1000-seeds was more in the year 1995 than
the year 1996. This difference was due to decreased pod length and the number of seed per pod inthe year 1995.
Four lines (2464, 2466, 2462 and 2465) showed difference in 1000-seed weight than other lines. According to
the means of two years, maximu m biological yields were obtained by line-2462 (6294 kg/ha),followed by line2464 (5572 kg/ha),followed by line-2466 (5572 kg/ha) and followed by line-2465 (5446 kg/ha) (Table 3). Data
on seed yield and harvest index are presented in Table 4, respectively. Table 4 also indicates that both seed
yield and harvestindex varied significantly (P&lt; 0.01). Seed yield has also decreased inthe second yearin lines
2392, 2462 and 2468. The seed yield varied between 728 and 1532 kg/ha during the year 1995 and varied
85

�1st International Syposium on Sustainable Development, June 9-10 2009, Sarajevo

between 930 and 1848 kg/ha during the year 1996. Data on average of two year indicate that maximum seed
yield was obtained from line-2390 (1666 kg/ha), followed by line-2391 (1514 kg/ha),line-2392 (1411 kg/ha)
and line-2383 (1373 kg/ha),respectively.

Relationship between seed yield and the other characters
Simple correlation coefficients among the seed yield and the other traits are presented in Table 5. There
was no year-to-year variation interms ofrelationship between seed yield and yield components. Correlation was
found (0.668**) between seed yield and the number of pod per plant (only in 1995). However,this correlation
was not found in the year 1996. Decreased plant height, increased, the seed yield (mean of two year).
Buyukburc &amp; Iptas (2001) have reported a significant and positive relationship among seed yield, plant height
and biological yield of similarlines when sown in winter. Similar authors have also found negative significant
relationship with pods per plant. Since summer sowings have less vegetation growing period than winter
sowings, due to this summer grown plants complete their vegetation stage in short period than winter grown
plants. Hence, the difference in plant height and other agronomic characters is expected between sum mer and
winter grown plants. An increase in pod length and 1000-seed weight have increased biological yield during the
year 1995 (Table 5). In second year, a significant negative relationship was observed (-0.610*) between
biological yield and number of pods per plant. According to the average oftwo years,increasing number of seed
per pod decreased (-0.656**) the weight of 1000 seed (Table 5). Similar results were reported by Buyukburc
&amp; Iptas (2001) in winter sown. Itis possible to benefitfrom the seed and straw of annuallegume forage crops
grown in arid and semi-arid region (ICARDA 1988, Cakmakci &amp; Acikgoz, 1994). Due to this varieties which
give more seed and straw are preferred. As reported by Abd-el Moneim &amp; Cooks (1990) that generally varieties
with high harvestindex have high biological yield. However,in summer sown crops this position is not true. A
significant negative relationship was observed between harvest index and biological yield in both years. This
position shows that summer sown lines with high seed yield have high harvestindex and low straw yield.

Conclusions
This experiment was carried out during the year 1995 and 1996 under Tokat-Kazova ecological
conditions. The results are sum marized as under:
a) When narbon vetch (Vicia narbonensis L.) was sown in March,it gave 1107-1666 kg/ha seed yield (average
of two years).
b) Ecological factors (especially precipitation) have significantly affected the seed yield and agronomic
characters.
c) The lines as 2390, 2391, 2392 and 2383 when sown in summer were found to be better than other lines in
respectto seed yield.

                <text>Fifteen narbon vetch (Vicia narbonensis L.) lines obtained from ICARDA  were used in this study. The highest seed yield (1163 kg/ha) was obtained by the line  2390, the lowest seed yield was obtained (1110 kg/ha) by the line 2561. As an  average, the 1000-seed weight ranged between 171.4 g and 318.8 g, whereas biological  yield ranged between 4043 kg/ha and 7899 kg/ha. It has been found that the  relationship among the traits varied according to the years. Although there were  negative correlations (-0.656**) between 1000-seed weight and seed per pod, and also  there was positive correlations (0.830**) between 1000-seed weight and pod length.  The biological yield was positively correlated (0.680**) with pod length and 1000-  seed weight. Except for the plant height, there was no significant correlation between  the seed yield and other characteristics in summer sown lines.</text>
