Transportation and Natural Technological Unemployment…
Technological unemployment, according to general economic understanding, is defined as 'unemployment that
a technological progression causes'. However, while this kind of unemployment has occured due to technology
up to now, we observe a reverse change in this process nowadays. In this context, unemployment itself causes
technological progression. For instance, we evidence this change in the transportation sector.
We hear such unemployment news from different countries especially in the transporation sector. In this context,
it is reported that although there is a huge driver need especially in road transport in the Europe,
it can not be met. A leading furniture company in the world also stated that they meet problems in delivering
their products to the customers because of inadequate number of drivers. Same explanations are coming from
different regions and companies in the world as well.
As this is the case, 'autonomous wehicle manufacturing' has become one of the agenda issue of automotive sector.
That is, manufacturing 'automatically moving, stopping, and parking wehicle' is being taken into consideration
with utmost care especially in the road transportation nowadays. Thus; driverles trucks, picks up etc.
can easily be used in product transportation and driver need shall disappear.
There should, of course, be convenient infrastructure and superstructure for such wehicles. For this purpose,
suitable roads and traffic systems should be constructed. This is, however, another side of the coin.

Regional Development Focused University Model; The Case of Mardin Artuklu (MAU)
[Bölgesel Kalkınma Odaklı Üniversite Modeli; Mardin Artuklu (MAÜ) Örneği]
In a report by the World Bank (The Challenge of Establishing World Class Universities by Jamil Salmi,
Training Director, the World Bank, Washington D.C. 2009), it is expressed that it would be better for universities
to pool their resources (knowledge, experience etc.) for the development of their regions rather than each
endeavouring to become a world class training institution by requiring high budgets.
In fact, it is simply not possible for all universities in every country to attain world class status,
and for universities in developing countries especially so, since the budget requirement is very high.
Therefore, as stated in the Report, it would be more profitable for such universities to allocate their resources
for the benefit of regional development.
This book mentions these matters and provides the practices by Mardin Artuklu University, Turkey. In this context,
it aims to determine the effects/contributions of a university as an education institution and to form
'A Regional Development Focused University Model' by giving such concrete activities.
