The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative technology paradigm that connects billions of devices, enabling seamless communication and data exchange. The study used the Web of Science Core Collection database to uncover global research trends in the IoT. The data in the study were visualized using the VOSviewer software, and bibliometric analysis was performed using the network map technique. The study aims to examine global research trends in IoT, examine IoT-related studies in social sciences, examine the status of IoT studies, especially in management and public administration, and guide researchers who aim to work on this subject. In the study, 87,397 studies on IoT between 2002 and 2022 were examined, and 1162 studies were included by limiting the studies to management and public administration. Studies were categorized and analyzed concerning fields of study, departments, years of publication, keywords, authors, and the most cited authors.

Sustainability has recently been among the frequently repeated concepts upon recognition especially of value of nature and natural resources. Substantial studies have been conducted on the subjects related with sustainability after 1980s. Increasing interest in sustainability concept has also enhanced point of view from every angle. The preliminary studies on the subject were mostly on comprehension of environmental sustainability. Over the time, sustainability has become privileged research domain in every angle from economy to health, from agriculture to management and so on. In Turkey, there have been various researches on sustainability and postgraduate level theses have been published. The objective of the present study is to analyze postgraduate theses on "sustainable development" in Turkey. Thus, it was aimed to determine which dimensions and which angles of sustainable development have been covered so far in Turkey. In this scope, postgraduate theses located in the database of the Higher Education Board National Thesis Center (YÖKTEZ) were screened through a literature search; then, collected data was classified through content analysis; and finally, bibliometric analysis was conducted. Totally 250 postgraduate theses on sustainable development published in the period of 1992-2021 were collected. The bibliometric analysis was conducted on collected theses with respect to their type, publishing year, language, distribution according to university and institute, titles of thesis advisor, number of pages, references, keywords, research method and data collection method. As a result of our analysis, it was determined that theses on sustainable development were oriented on environment, environmental issues, environmental sustainability, climate change, sustainable development education, renewable energy and sustainable economy subjects. Moreover, theses were predominantly master theses and issued by students registered with postgraduate programs of Social Science Institute. Although number of theses has varied over the time, it increased significantly recently. It was also determined that they were suffering major deficiencies with research method and0 data collection methods.

Bu çalışmada Mısır Arap Cumhuriyeti’nin yerel yönetim yapısı ele alınmıştır. Yerel yönetim yapısının karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmesi için Türkiye örneği seçilmiş ve iki ülke yerel yönetim yapısı bakımından karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın yapılmasındaki amaç yerel yönetim yapılarını karşılaştırmak, benzerlik ve farklıları belirlemek ve elde edilen bulgular dahilinde değerlendirmede bulunmaktır. İki ülke yerel yönetimlerin birimleri, anayasadaki yeri, organları, görev alanları, yetki alanı, giderleri, merkez-yerel ilişkisi, özerklik niteliği, desantralizasyon düzeyi ve denetim açısından karşılaştırmalı analiz yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre iki ülkenin de yerel yönetimlerinin yüksek düzeyde yerelliğe ve özerkliğe sahip olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
