Ankara, Turkey: Social Science Association of Turkey, 1975 xi, 342 pp. Out of print and scarce. Bibliographical notes. All papers in English. The first and most comprehensive study undertaken by the Social Science Association of Turkey was carried out in Izmir. This three-year study, begun in 1967, in addition to being cited for its own merit, has also been recognized as a successful example of interdisciplinary research. The project studied and evaluated subjects such as the changing social structure of Izmir; distribution of urban functions over the city; changes during the past century; modes of communication and relations among the urban dwellers; socio-psychological dimensions of social change; and migration to and settlement in Izmir. Findings about various dimensions of social change in Izmir have been published in a series of books.
