    (2015) Adalilar, Sefik Naci; Alkibay, Sanem; Eser, Zeliha
    Ecovillages are models of sustainable settlements in cultural, ecological and economic context. There are several scientific studies related to ecovillages in other countries; however, there are no such studies in Turkey. This study is aimed to examine the consumer perceptions, attitudes and preferences regarding ecovillages. Based on 420 surveys with domestic and foreign consumers in Turkey, the findings revealed that, ecovillages are generally preferred by people who are between the 35-54 years old, and have high level education and income. "Being a sustainable life style" and "Having an authentic experience in a rural area" are identified as the most important factors that influence consumers' demand for ecovillages. Findings also manifested that transportation to the ecovillage accommodation, supporting services and attractions are the important factors for consumer pereferences. (C) 2015 The Authors.

    Counterfeit Supply Chains
    (2015) Eser, Zeliha; Kurtulmusoglu, Bahar; Bicaksiz, Adnan; Sumer, Selay Ilgaz
    This paper studies supply chains of counterfeits in Turkey based on insider information from actors in such chains as well as from knowledgeable witnesses. The study depends on semi-structured interviews with actors in or witnesses to such chains. Findings suggest that (i) various forms of counterfeit supply chains exist, (ii) profit margins of counterfeiters seem to be higher than legitimate businesses, (iii) counterfeiters are discouraged if they experience actual or threatened litigation, (iv) law enforcement places higher priority on fighting counterfeits that threaten public health and safety, and (v) counterfeits appear to drive down the prices of legitimate products. Overall, poor action by legitimate businesses against counterfeiters, weak institutional efforts on the part of law enforcement and low consumer awareness appear to foster counterfeit supply chains, or at least contribute to their persistence.
