Publication The republic of Belarus from the perspective of administration and regional geography(Marmara Üniversitesi, 2014-01-01) Atasoy, Emin; Galai, Elena; Mazbayev, Ordenbek; ATASOY, EMİN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/İlköğretim Bölümü.; 0000-0002-8769-1240; CEK-7635-2022Belarus is a leading country that is least known, least debated and scientifically least investigated. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to promote the republic of Belarus to the Turkish audience and help people broaden their body of knowledge about this country. Geographical, historical, geopolitical, socio-economic and demographic findings and interpretation constitute the multi-level fields of debate of this Belarus-oriented study. In this study, not only were the historical and current administrative structure of Belarus and the resulting consequences examined, but the comparative geographical, socio-economic and demographic analyses of the provinces (oblats) were carried out as well. It emerged in this study that there were some differences amongst the provinces (oblats) in terms of industrial production, agricultural production, trade potential, settlement and demographic characteristics that were based on various factors.Publication The republic of tatarstan from the perspective of human geography(Marmara Univ, 2014-01-01) Çalışkan, Vedat; Galai, Elena; Atasoy, Emin; ATASOY, EMİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/İlköğretim Bölümü.The human potential, ethnic structure and population characteristics of Tatarstan, one of the most developed and richest autonomous republics of Russia, were investigated in this study. With the study, the urbanization features and heterogeneous population structure of Tatarstan were brought up for discussion, along with its geographical location and geopolitical and geoeconomic sensitivity. In addition, revealing of the quantitative change in the Tatar ethnos within the borders of Russia and its geographical distribution characteristics and the analysis of the changes in the ethnic structure of Tatarstan in terms of the perspectives of time and space are also among the issues this study addresses. There are two fundamental results which are highlighted in the study. The first one is that by dividing & segregating the Tatars living within the borders of Tatarstan and the Russian Federation into different sub-nations and different sub-ethnoses in the last two censuses, their total population amounts were shown to be low. In the study, it is warned that this might lead to some important problems in socio-demographic and political aspects. Secondly, it is stressed that the economic and political unity of Tatarstan with the characteristic of a semi-Slavic and semi-Turkish population structure with Russia appears unavoidable.
