New @TESEV2015 report: “Sustainable Cities e-Participation for a Politics of Local Commons”
by Ulaş Bayraktar
The idea of sustainable development has been transformed into a concrete program under 17 headings within the United Nations Global Goals. According to the Sustainable Development Goals Index (SDG) prepared within this framework, Turkey ranks 48th among 149 countries with a score of 66.1. In the fulfillment of sustainable development goals, participatory city governments play a major role and new opportunities have emerged. Citizen participation can be achieved through a range of methods and scopes, such as information, consultation, inclusion, cooperation, and empowerment, and Internet technologies open up considerable opportunities for these, although preexisting structural and cultural problems that precede these mechanisms endure. This report argues that the participatory practices inspired by the idea of the commons could make a significant contribution to making these participatory practices more functional.
Policy Recommendations:
1. Bringing forth city values that could be shared by all citizens, in order to enhance the bonds of belonging, and organizing activities which would foster these bonds; 2. For those who continue to express their sense of belonging to their original home lands inspire of being residents of the same city, creating public occasions that would bring people together, facilitate mutual acquaintance and develop a minimum level of mutual trust; 3. Enabling information mechanisms that would enable people to understand the necessity and importance of participation, and which would make popular monitoring possible, as well as keep administrators informed of public expectations and choices; 4. Developing practices differing from the usual hierarchical organizational types in order to facilitate and encourage the gathering of people sharing similar problems and preferences.

#Cyberculture – Top 5 Threats to Transparency (by EFF)
As we approach the end of 2016, it’s disturbing to note the wide variety of ways in which government transparency has languished—even under an administration rhetorically committed to it. With the next administration poised to even further extend executive secrecy, it becomes ever more crucial for the courts and Congress to aggressively seek meaningful answers to questions for which the public deserves an answer.
Below are EFF’s top 5 threats to transparency in 2016:
From algorithms that spread fake news to glowing plants that don’t glow, here are our picks for the worst technologies of the year.
Much like The Force, technology surrounds us, penetrates us and binds together our galaxy, which is why it’s so hard to identify which technologies might have the most significant impact in the coming year.
In 2017, tech companies will have to adapt to a new reality. President Trump and his cabinet of billionaires will shape government regulation for companies across the tech industry.
Love or hate Facebook, you’ve got to hate Facebook.
With the rise of new opportunities for commerce and marketing and more user engagement than ever in the mobile space, mobile-first has been the focus for 2016. Still, some marketers are still struggling. A study from Opera Mediaworksprovides some insight into this year’s growth.

Eurosphere agenda: Northern England under Worst floods for 70 years…
Around 500 soldiers brought in to deal with ‘unprecedented’ flooding in Yorkshire and Lancashire.
It’s been a soggy weekend in northern England as widespread flooding caused by heavy rains prompted the evacuation of thousands of homes.
The UK’s Environment Agency (EA) has put 27 severe flood warnings in place, along with 90 warnings and 84 alerts, as the country continues to experience unprecedented flooding across northern England. The “severe” warning means there is a danger to life.
One of the Islamist militants who attacked the Bataclan concert hall in Paris on 13 November was buried on Christmas Eve in an unmarked grave, reports say.
Eleven new deaths are reported at sea off Turkey as the number of migrants and refugees crossing into Europe this year passes one million.
Tourist flow dries up amid crisis but refugees provide alternate source of income for vendors on Mediterranean islands.
Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has criticised Germany’s role in Europe as too dominant. “Europe has to serve all 28 countries, not just one,” he said to the Financial Times on Monday. Renzi has taken up the fight against Germany’s anachronistic austerity policy, some commentators write approvingly. Others dismiss his criticism as a cheap way of gaining votes.
Fifa’s Ethics Committee banned the organisation’s president Sepp Blatter and Uefa boss Michel Platini from football-related activities on Monday over a payment Platini received from Blatter in 2011. Some commentators believe that with Platini’s fall football is losing a role model and an acceptable potential Fifa boss. Others see the decision as a chance for the global football association to move on.
Spain’s two biggest left-wing parties ruled out supporting a government led by the ruling People’s Party (PP) on Monday, complicating Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s efforts to build a coalition to stay in power after a tight general election.
Since its birth in early 2014, Podemos experienced a dramatic rise in the polls during its first year followed by a significant nose dive throughout 2015. This roller coaster ride—which now seems to be climbing back up again—is due to several possible reasons. The truth probably lies in a combination of factors.
Iglesias’ party proposes a radical opening up of the state through citizen participation in decision-making, and administration as a weapon against oligarchic power.
The way to address the disaffection of young French Muslims lies in opening the political system to their democratic criticism and voices.
The leader of Britain’s Labour Party continues to inspire his supporters and confound his critics. Is he behind the times, or ahead of them?
Though the number of refugees arriving in Sweden has dropped by 60% since tougher asylum policies were adopted in November, the far-right Sweden Democrats are receiving unpecedented levels of support, according to a new poll.

Statement: URGENT PEACE FOR CHILDREN!
English version of media release It was translated by volunteers from @CocuklaraBaris Team.
URGENT PEACE FOR CHILDREN!
As child rights advocates from İstanbul, İzmir, Ankara, Diyarbakır, Van, Batman and Mardin; children’s and human rights NGOs, unions, occupational organizations, academicians, artists, deputies, journalists, women’s and LGBTI organizations, students, civil initiatives, political parties and establishments we are here in Diyarbakır today to emphasize our demand of peace for children once again.
The influence of the context of violence in Turkey which started after the elections of June, 7th and escalated with Suruç Massacre (July 22) and Ankara Massacre (October 10) is deepening within all segments of the society. We demand that the state to stop the curfews, established in 17 districts of 7 cities where approximately 1 million 300 thousand people live from August 16 up to date; the conflicts in the region and deaths of all people especially the children because of the conditions of curfews.
Turkey has signed the UN Child Rights Convention in 1990 and accepted the protection and realization of the rights and freedoms of every child, however today, the dominating government system has been acting very rudely towards children where loveless actions and discourses are disseminated and where children are abused. Children and youngsters are not only abused, but they are loosing their lives, and physical and psychological unities due to violence.
From Suruç massacre of 22 July up to now, the conflicts and curfews have resulted in such negative conditions where children even the ones in their mother’s wombs have became direct targets of armed forces of state and 55 children have lost their lives because they were not able to receive health services. Today, children and youngsters are deprived of educational services, the teachers have been sent to out of cities for in-service training, the schools are being used as camps, the hospitals are bombed, school dormitories are bombed, civilians are targeted who are outside for their basic needs, people are forced to migration, access to health services are prevented. These show that what goes on is not an operation but war and this is an open violation of the rights mentioned within the Convention. The military shipments to the localities increase our concerns
The children are loosing their relatives there even if they don’t loose their lives by chance. They can not access to rights to education, health, growing up in a safe environment, shelter and development and they are witnessing violence and they are neglected and abused.
It is known that most influential traumatic experiences are made by humans. The context of violence has short and long term influences over children in the region. This context of war has direct traumatic influences on the children in the region and also on children who are indirectly exposed and on the society as a whole. Also these influences can be transferred from one generation to another even after war is over. The children who are exposed directly or indirectly suffer from anxiety, depression, anger, loss of trust, helplessness, hopelessness, alienation and other negative feelings. This situation affects the physiological, social, psychological and societal development of children. Despite all these scientific realities there are no measures for protection of children, the violations are gaining weight and continuing. In last 2 days, 15 people have lost their lives in Cizre and Silopi, four of which were children. This shows the gravity of the situation which is not acceptable as for human and children’s rights.
Our sadness and anxiety enhances seeing that the situation is not covered enough within the international community and that the press can not realize the commitment to information within conditions of oppression of the right to freedom of expression and press.
The government has to love, respect and care all the people and provide a rights-based way of living for everyone without discrimination. A state government which has been using violence against children and youngsters, which is responsible for their deaths without any remorse and which deliberately prefers a very oppressive and brutal attitude and approach far from a humanitarian discourse, constitutes a very important risk for all the children and young people in the country with regard to child abuse and neglect.
The number of instances of child neglect and abuse by the state, has been increasing recently. We have to (say) ‘STOP!’ (to) the present government which has been impairing children and youngsters cruelly by oppressing them, restraining their development and violating their right to live.
We are condemning all approaches which,
-removes children from the secure and constructive atmosphere of play and curiosity and coerces them towards despair and death; closes the door of a joyful life for them; – prepares a discriminatory ground which paves the way for armed conflict where children and youngsters fight with each other; – Launches prosecutions against children and youngsters without any respect of their right to criticize the world and the things going around in their environment in a free manner.
Turkey paid a very high price during the civil war atmosphere in 90’s and it is still paying. We, who sign this document know, live and feel that this war and conflict have a destructive and almost incurable effect not only to the people who live in the region, but on all of us. Therefore we repeat again what is to be done immediately:
Curfew should be removed State should fulfill the obligations of UN Convention on the Child Rights, which it signed, and all its other obligations regarding human rights and abandon its violence and pressure on living areas. All parties should develop attitudes to protect high benefits of children The negotiations should restart within the context of peace, freedom and democracy All those who violated human rights should be punished The social, economic and psychological destruction during this process should be restored within the context of human rights and the social justice should be rebuild
We know this for sure, in contrast to what authorities say, the effects of war and violence on children are too deep to remove with “compensation trainings.” The real compensation of those harsh days is possible only with Peace, Freedom and Solidarity.
