FOUNDATION STORY OF IZMIR MEDITERRANEAN ACADEMY

In Izmir Cultural Workshop which is realized under the leadership of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality on 24th October 2009, with the attendance of Izmir people and scientists, artsists and intellectuals, a new vision of improvement is determined. The vision has three bases. First one is Izmir to be a city of innovation and design to provide progress in the future; the second one is Izmir to be open to abroad and to improve the vision through relationships with big cities of Mediterranean. Third one is to provide the vision in democratic and participatice practices. Izmir Metropolitan Municipality has formed Mediterranean Academy as a department which will support the vision determined in Cultural workshop and realize the “Izmir, Mediterranean’s city of culture, art and design.

The academy, working hard with the sharers to make real Izmir vision and providing support for the strategy of globalizing Izmir, will expand horizons both for the city and the country.

Academy’s first facility area will be improving cultural and historcial activities. New vision means new history. Reforming the thought activities in this field, Academy will move the capacity in Izmir universities.

The strategy that Izmir is a design and innovation city is the second activity field in Mediterranean Academy. On 31st May 2011 Design Forum is organized and first step is taken in this subject. In order to achieve the design city, the design forum get into the conclusion that two conditions should be developed. First condition is increasing the design capacity in Izmir and the second is increasing the awareness and demand in design.

In the discussions in the design forum, design process of Izmir is also brought forward as well. Coast Design Project was come to birth from within these discussions.

Third field which the Academy will enhance the activities is organic agriculture and ecologic settlement design. The reason why the topic is one of the most necessary is that the man power of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality that can work in this field, high potential of Izmir in agriculture, possible contribution which Izmir can give world sustainability.

IZMIR MEDITERRANEAN ACADEMY MANIFEST

In today’s world, the economies compete with one another through big cities. For that reason, management of big cities not only give service to their citizens, but also undertake leading role of their cities in competing in the field of economy. Thus, the variety of function has been reflected to the local government law of Turkiye.

Izmir contributes to the globalisation and transition to information society being one of the biggest 130 cities in the world. Within that period, Izmir structures both itself and its hinterland as a urban zone.

Having a peculiar place in democracy history of Turkiye, Izmir treats in accordance with the democratic tradition in forming new function of city management. There is a communion between Izmir public and opinion leaders that Izmir needs to leap forward in economy and life quality and Izmir has the potential and position to make the progress.

Izmir Metropolitan Municipality has determined the city vision which will provide the peak in a democratic period. In Culture and Art Workshop gathered in 24th October 2009, a progress vision with three bases have been established with the attendance of scientists, and artists who are Izmir citizens and Izmir lovers. The first one is Izmir to have the characteristics of design and innovation for having a more advanced place in world economy business, second is to reach the goal open to abroad and focusing a network of relationship formed between Mediterranean big cities. Third is to apply the vision in a management mentality which is democratic and has participative practices and respectful to human dignity.

It is essential to make long term effort for all public regions in order to make this vision come alive. There come out the necessity of long term institutionalizaiton which can undertake the intellectual and organizational load for the vision. A consensus has been reached by the Metropolitan Municipality Consultancy mechanisms that “Izmir Mediterranean Academy” can be the institution and execution has been carried into.

Izmir Mediterranean Academy has basically two functions. The first is that is an institution of idea. On that sense, it will develop the strategies which will actualise the vision, in this way it will broaden Izmir’s horizon, the works will not be confined in routines but will be open to continuous innovation and contribute with sharers for the intellectual capasity to improve Izmir’s vision.

The second primary function of Izmir Mediterranean Academy is to create a platform where sharers will interact with each other, where functions that they undertake in realizing vision will be determined, where application promises will be given. Its being an institution which will realize both of the functions makes it authentic.

Rather than being an unwieldy institution which has large staffs, which generates its thoughts by itself, which makes researches by itself, which tries to carry out solutions by itself, that is, which makes the works by itself, It has to have a flexible and innovative mentality, which triggers capacities of Izmir and Izmir lovers, which brings them together, which encourages them to do, which provides their commitment to functions.

This institution capacity and commitment must accomplish organization which has a high skeleton crew, which can widen, narrow, and improve partnerships not with hierarchic division of work but according to the work it has taken, which can utilize the power and creativity of the horizontal relations.

When the Academy’s area of activity is defined with the referral to Izmir’s vision, a wide area comes up. It cannot be expected from The Academy to operate in all areas. Therefore, it is expected to operate in a narrower area as an eclectic. After succeeding in certain areas, it will transfer this function to NGO’s or other institutions; it will also start being a Pioneer in a new area.

At the starting stage, it was decided that the Academy would give priority to three subjects. First of them is to handle history of Izmir again with the perspective of its being a Mediterranean city. When you develop a vision to a city, the history must be written again for this vision to be able to gain profoundness. This is basically an academic operation. Researches will be made, international meetings, workshops, competitions will be held, exhibitions will be opened. Izmir Metropolitan Municipality will activate Ahmet Piristina City Museum. This operation will be a function which it will maintain throughout all its life.

Improving design activity has been given priority on the vision of being design and innovation city within academy operations. The main reason of this is that Izmir has an improvement potential of design demand in Izmir and also there are improved departments related to design in the universities in Izmir. After this decision was taken, a Design Forum with broad participation was held in Izmir on 31st May 2011. Roles that different actors would undertake in Izmir’s becoming a design city were defined. Izmir Metropolitan Municipality will use its own authority to improve the people of Izmir’s living awareness in designed environments and also will provide the use of opportunities of Izmir Fair on displaying design activities.

The third area on which Academy activities would focus was chosen as realizing detailed programming which will provide Izmir’s development as sustainable city. This includes a wide range of area from founding an ecological village to disposing of solid waste, to purify waste water, to constructing buildings whose carbon consumption is reduced, to food safety, to organic agriculture. These activities will be realized by paying special attention particularly to partnership which will be improved with international institutions especially with Mediterranean cities.

After the Academy began operating from such starting point, while it will improve its organization, vary its activities, it will also be open to experimentality, will improve its organization by leaning to evaluating results taken.

Mediterranean Academy chose culture and art areas which will have an indispensible place in Izmir’s future vision as the fourth priority area according to strategic priorities determined in Culture Workshop which was held in 2009 when the foundation was laid. Academy has aimed at playing the role culture industry deserved in the city’s economical and social development by taking culture, education, including information, with their largest definitions, and aimed at making “Creative Izmir” concept reality by providing cultural activities’ being in the center of the lives of the people of Izmir. When carrying out the Works in this area, the Academy supervises and encourages participation of all the people of the city especially children, youngsters and women into the cultural life and on the other hand, it will try to root cultural governance, which will be created with contributions and the dialog of the institutions of central administration in the city, local authority, non-governmental organizations, and the artists, between the city practices.

Mediterranean Academy will try to play a pioneer role in forming a “Mediterranean cultural network” within the interaction of Izmir with the cities and cultural attempts which contribute to Mediterranean’s cultural mobilism in all cultural and art Project and activities.

HIS PROJECTS AND THE SCIENCE INSTITUTIONS HE FOUNDED

1. When Halil İNALCIK started working on kadi registries in 1950’s, he appealed to Museums General Directorate in Ankara for the registries which were found in dust and dirt and in a pile thrown away in a cell in Green Madrasa by Sultan I. Mehmed (1413-1421), to be put in order. This archive goes up to Fatih era and it is the oldest Ottoman Archive. These registries have unique value. General Director accepted his proposal of forming an organized archive from these registries. The registries were sent to Istanbul. They were bound and put in order. They were set in good order in a special archive in Bursa Archeology museum. And they have been put into service of researchers.

2. After the II. World War, in parallel with development of social and economic history researches in the world, İNALCIK founded International Association for Social and Economic History of Turkey which he thought it as a platform where Ottoman History would be researched on the base of these Dynamics, where the results would be presented to science world, and where historians, who are interested in the subject, would come in a regular basis.
and he, as the head of this union, presided 10 international congresses called International Congress on the Social and Economic History of Turkey. Dates and places of these congresses are:
Hacettepe Universitesi, Ankara (1977)
Strasbourg Universitesi, Strasbourg (1980)
Princeton Universitesi, Princeton (1983)
Munih (1986)
Istanbul (1989)
Aix-en-Provence (1992)
Heidelberg (1995)
Bursa (1998)
Dubrovnik (2001)
Venedik (2005 )
Viyana (2010)
3. The other Project INALCIK undertook is The History of the Scientific and Cultural Development of Mankind which was published by UNESCO. This work was planned as seven volumes. He, together with Prof. Peter Burke from Cambridge University, was assigned as the head editor of the fifth volume which comprises the years of 1500-1800 of this work. The book was Published in 1999. (History of Humanity-Scientific and Cultural Development: From the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century, London: Routledge, 1906).

4. Halil İNALCIK

Research Project / Istanbul History according to Ecclesiastical Registries: He started a new Project on evaluating city archive which contains about ten thousand books from Istanbul Ecclesiastical Court registries collections for Istanbul History in 1980’s. (This archive was placed in a special building of Office of Mufti of Istanbul. This archive was organized as a result of increasing interest in Islamic sciences and Islamic Law in II. Abdulhamid (1876-1905) era. It was attached to Shayk al-islam. This archive is primarily important not only for Istanbul History but also for general Ottoman city, craftsmen, trade, and law history.) Prof. İNALCIK came together with Prof. A. Kuran, Prof. Z. Toprak for this purpose. He sought ways to establish an institute or a foundation. Committee became larger when Prof. N. Atasoy joined into it. Establishing a foundation or an institute was planned. Because of the difficulties in obtaining financial sources, realizing the Project delayed a while. In the end, it was decided with the attempt of Prof. Atasoy that the Project would be started as a Project attached to Istanbul University Literature Faculty Art history center. The Project has been maintained with Sabancı University – Packard Humanities Institute (PHI) partnership since 1999. the first book of the Project was published with the title Istanbul Court Ecclesiastical Registry no:121 (prepared by S.N.Aykut, Istanbul, 2006)

5. Halil İnalcık founded Center for Ottoman Studies in Bilkent University in 2003. Halil İNALCIK donated copies of documents and books which he collected from different archives for years, research texts which were not completed, more than 1000 offprints and other materials to this center. It will be put into use of researchers in the center where classification Works have been carried out in the near future. Yalova Municipality Halil İNALCIK Research Institute
