This study investigates the associations between characteristics of urban green spaces and frequency and duration of self-reported physical activity in the city of Aydın, Turkey. Data were collected through a survey with 420 participants. We analysed the associations between characteristics of urban green spaces and frequency and duration of general population' physical activity and physical activity of physically active people with multivariate linear regression while controlling for sex, age, marital status, education level, occupation and household income level. Results showed that for the general population, short distance to urban green spaces, many trees, exercise equipment and picnic areas were positively associated with frequency of physical activity, while barbecue and fire places negatively associated with duration of physical activity. For physically active people, many trees, soccer and basketball fields were positively associated with their frequency of physical activity, but water features were negatively correlated with frequency of physical activity. In regard to duration of physical activity for physically active people, findings showed lawn and exercise equipment were positively correlated with duration of physical activity, while water features, barbecue and fire places were negatively correlated with duration of physical activity. The findings indicate that levels of physical activity in urban green spaces could be promoted with many trees, exercise equipment, picnic areas and lawn. However, causal relationship needs to be conducted with intervention or longitudinal studies.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı fiyat, politika ve pazarlama seçenekleri karşısında organik ve konvansiyonel çekirdeksiz kuru üzüm üreticisinin arz duyarlılığını incelemektir. Böylece, çekirdeksiz kuru üzümle daha etkin ve başarılı politikaların geliştirilebilmesi için gerekli ipuçları elde edilebilecektir. Çalışma, Türkiye'den ihraç edilen çekirdeksiz kuru üzümün %75-80'ini tek başına karşılayan Manisa ilinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma verileri konvansiyonel ve organik kuru üzüm üretimi yapan 300 üretici ile yüzyüze yapılan anketlerden elde edilmiştir. Arz modelleri, çeşitli senaryolar çerçevesinde ürün fiyatlarına gösterilen potansiyel tepki dikkate alınarak Tobit model yardımıyla tahmin edilmiştir. Konvansiyonel kuru üzümde arz esnekliği 0.18, organik kuru üzümde ise 0.21'dir. Birim alana uygulanan organik tarım desteğinin organik kuru üzüm arzını %3.2 artırdığı belirlenmiştir.The effects of alternative marketing and agricultural policies on supplies of conventional and organic raisins Anahtar Sözcükler: Arz esnekliği Konvansiyonel Kuru üzüm arzı Organik Tobit model ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine organic and conventional raisins producers' supply response under several prices, agricultural policy options and marketing channels. Thus, the tips can be obtained necessary for the development of more effective and successful policies with raisins. The study was carried out in Manisa where 75-80% of the raisins export was met alone. The data was gathered from 300 conventional and organic raisin producers via face to face interviews. Supply equations were estimated with Tobit model using the potential supply levels in response to own prices obtained under certain scenarios. Supply elasticity of conventional raisins is 0.18. In organic raisins, supply elasticity was found as 0.21 which is a little higher than that of conventional raisins. Area-based supports in organic farming was seen to increase organic raisin supply level by 3.2% approximately.
