SPECIAL WORKPLACE ANALYSIS IN CONNECTION WITH HANDICAPPED FRIENDLY HUMAN
RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
- Authors: Yunus KÖLEOĞLU; Ali SEYYAR
  Abstract: The disabled workers employed in Turkey face significant problems in working life. Firstly, there are physical barriers, prejudices, working in unskilled low-paid jobs and deprivation of a professional career. One reason for these problems is that Human Resource Management (HRM) concepts do not sufficiently integrate disabled workers into their system. The aim of this paper is to present the structure of the adapted workplace analysis for disabled workers of the concept of “Disabled Friendly HRM” developed by Seyyar and Aydemir, inspired by Diversity Management as a HR strategy. The meaning of Disabled Friendly HRM is that it has the power to transform the heterogeneous workforce potential in companies for the common benefit of all employees and the company. In order to achieve this success, it is necessary to adapt the functionalities of workplace analysis, which are methodically valid in traditional HRM, to the needs of disabled workers. In this context in the first chapter of our article the analysis of the concept of handicapped friendly human resources management is made and after that their fonctions, aims and necessity are presented. In the second chapter Handicapped Friendly Human Job Analysis and in connection with that three fonctional factors are handled. These are Handicapped Friendly Special Job Description, Special Job Specifications and Job Design for Handicapped Labor. In order to apply the Job Design for Handicapped Labor we need several methods. Of them Handicapped Friendly Special Work Rotation, Special Business Simplification for Mentally Handicapped Persons, Special Job Enlargement and Enrichment for Handicapped Staff, Autonomous Working Groups in which Handicapped Persons are included, Handicapped Friendly Special Flexible Work and Handicapped Friendly Special Job Sharing are detailed introduced and evaluated. Ultimately, in companies that have developed a disability-friendly approach to HRM, disabled employees are able to fully adapt to the workplace as an equal member of the team and create a competitive advantage for the workplace with high motivation and performance.

ASSESSMENT OF THE POVERTY STATISTICS FROM HUMAN RIGHTS PERSPECTIVE IN
TURKEY
- Authors: Sefa ULU
  Abstract: Firstly, in this study, a summary explanation of the concepts that I have scrutinized for the discussion and conclusion parts have been given in interpreting the statistics. In this context, all approaches to the concept ''poverty'' have been adopted and there have been some explanations regarding human rights. After that, the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that may be related to poverty have been examined, and afterward the statistics of poverty in Turkey have been assessed. Moreover, I have given a further evaluation of poverty in terms of human rights by analysing these indicators. Statistics such as household income, consumer price index, minimum wage have been scoped out, incorporating the statistics analyzed in the light of data from Turkey. A considerable amount of effort has gone into revealing the extent of poverty in Turkey. In addition, I concluded that the public's perception of poverty in Turkey is relative, not absolute. Upon interpreting the statistics, the poverty level in Turkey has been evaluated concerning human rights. Overall, these results indicate that poverty is a condition that violates human rights. The material deprivation rate is an important indicator for the appearance of poverty. When we look at the rate of material deprivation, it is a fact that one out of four people is still in material deprivation, although there has been a decrease in the rate in the last ten years.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN RURAL TOURISM EFFECT OF RURAL POVERTY: A CASE
FROM THE YATAGAN
- Authors: Metin Serhat İLTER
  Abstract: Rural development moves are movements seen in all economies. Opinions on the possibility of rural development with agriculture and agriculture-based industry started to change with the involvement of tourism. Today, tourism has become an important source of income for Turkey, especially in the Aegean and Mediterranean Regions, besides agriculture. In many rural areas, tourism has overtaken agriculture and the agricultural visibility of the countryside (as in Bodrum and Marmaris) has been lost. The aim of this study is to reveal the importance of tourism as a second source of income apart from agriculture and animal husbandry in reducing rural poverty. One of the methods used to ensure rural development and reduce rural poverty is to bring the tourism values of the countryside to light and develop them. While examining this subject, firstly definitions were given and it was mentioned what development, poverty and tourism are. In addition to the few studies in rural areas in Turkey, rural tourism studies are almost non-existent. With this aspect, the study aimed to contribute to the existing literature. The place chosen as the research universe is Yatağan District of Muğla Province. The appearance of Yatağan as a mining town began to disappear after the privatization of the thermal power plant, and the historical (ruins) sites and unique towns (such as Bozüyük, Belen and Yava) of the district, especially those dating back to the Bronze Age, became places worth visiting and seeing. Osman Hamdi Bey, the founder of Turkish Museology, made his first studies in this district and the first finds were sent to the Istanbul Archeology Museum and are still exhibited here. Even this situation alone is enough to reveal the value of Yatağan in terms of tourism. The findings in Yatağan are presented as fieldwork and case studies in the article. By photographing Yatağan's historical and touristic places, it is aimed that the reader has more information about the subject. Yatağan, which is an example of typical rural life in the Aegean Region, has historical, geographical and demographic characteristics, tourism places, ruins, subsistence economy, educational status and tourism statistics. It has been tried to offer solutions for the economic aspect of the problems in the countryside, and rural tourism, which is one of the non-agricultural elements, has been examined in this context.

TAXATION OF DOMESTIC CASUALS PAID TO SERVICEMEN BY EMPLOYERS
- Authors: İmdat TÜRKAY
  Abstract: According to the Allowance Law No. 6245, the per diem includes the travel expenses of the civil servants and servants to be sent outside of the civil service and their food, drinking and sleeping expenses are compensated. According to the Income Tax Law No. 193, the subsistence payments made by employers to employees in temporary assignments in the country as expenses are considered wages with payments made as subsistence or travel allowance by institutions subject to the Allowance Law, and all of the actual travel expenses paid to service workers by employers outside the scope of the Allowance Law, and daily allowances for meals and lodging expenses,the daily wages given to the civil servants at the same monthly level or the amount not exceeding the highest limit of the daily wages given by the State are exempted from income tax. The travel expenses of the personnel sent to the country on temporary duty by the employers as a requirement of their activities are covered by one of the "real expenses" or "subsistence" methods. It is of great importance for employers to correctly calculate the daily amount to be exempted from tax so that they do not cause tax loss. In this study, it will be examined how the daily payments paid to domestic employees by public or private sector organizations will be exempted from tax, stamp tax deduction and expense writing.

So in this paper, firstly, after examining Rüstow's life, the general framework of the concepts of "vital", "vital situation" and "vital politics" will be revealed. At the beginning of the interconnected socio-economic elements of vital policy are the conditions of competition regarding the free market and the characteristics of the “strong state” that has adopted the principle of "liberal interventionism". In addition, subjects such as participatory industrial democracy, initial justice and equality of opportunity, public social assistance, which is an additional instrument of the social insurance system, natural environment and healthy housing, which are included in the concept of "vital policy", will also be discussed in detail. Finally, the views of some scientists and politicians who contributed to the developmental process of the social market economy, thanks to the award-winning events organized in his name after Rüstow's death, will be included.
