    An Urban Plan Evaluation for Park Accessibility: a Case in Izmir (turkiye)
    (Palgrave Macmillan Ltd., 2023) Şenol, Fatma; Öztürk, Sevim Pelin; Atay Kaya, İlgi
    Plan evaluations about park accessibility are rare at the neighbourhood scale. Moreover, urban plans traditionally identify park accessibility with predetermined measurements that may ignore limited walking conditions of children, the elderly, women with children, and low-income groups. Alternatively, this paper considers equitable (rather than equal) park accessibility as an important goal concerning environmental justice. To guide a path to achieving this goal, it investigates how to assess and revise urban plans with parks within walking distance to social groups in the case of a plan (1/1000 scale) in Izmir (Turkiye). Deployment of the location-allocation analysis (a multi-criteria assessment methodology in Geographic Information Systems, GIS) allows this research to consider physical/geographical barriers to walkability in actual neighbourhood settings and reconfigure such barriers as contextual variables, including limited walking distances of disadvantaged groups. Ultimately, this study also contributes to how to handle spatial and demographic data deficiencies in Turkiye when measuring equitable accessibility of public facilities by walking. Results identify an uneven distribution of park accessibility even within the neighbourhood on the plan and the potential for improving park accessibility by designing some non-park public lands with park features.

    Mevcut mahalle parklarının "İhtiyaca Dayalı Hakçalık" açısından değerlendirilmesi: İzmir'deki mahalle pParklarını kimler neden kullanıyor ve kullan(a)mıyor?
    (2019) Şenol, Fatma; Duran, Hasan Engin; Atay Kaya, İlgi; Şentürk, Burcu; Kaştaş Uzun, İpek
    Bu proje, bireylerin mahalle parkı erişim ve kullanımını, nesnel ve algısal yapılı ve sosyal çevre özelliklerinin etkilediğini, ancak yapılı çevre düzenlemelerinin parkları öncelikle kullanması gerekenlerin (öncelikle çocuklar, çocuklu ev kadınları, yaşlılar ve düşük gelirliler) yaşam koşul ve ihtiyaçlarını gözardı edebildiğini; ve bunun ise adaletsizlik hissine ve parkların az sayıda kişiye erişimiyle kamu kaynaklarının israfına yol açtığını kabul eder. Proje, İzmir?deki mahalle parklarına kimlerin neden ve hangi koşullarda eriş(eme)diği ve kullan(ama)dığını kent, mahalle ve park ölçeğindeki nesnel ve algısal yapılı ve sosyal çevre özelliklerini tespitle değerlendirmiştir. İzmir?de özellikle park-ihtiyaç gruplarının (çocuklar, kadınlar, yaşlılar ve düşük gelirlilerin) mahalle parklarını kullan(ma)ma neden ve koşullarını inceleyen Proje, kamusal kaynakla ve kamu sağlığına yönelik yaratılan parkların kullanımını belirleyen yapılı çevre düzenlemelerinin ihtiyaca-dayalı hakçalığa dayanarak geliştirilmesini ve ilgili araştırma araçlarıyla incelenmesini savunur. Proje bu savunu ve araçlarının il ve kent, mahalle ve park ölçeğinde ve park-ihtiyaç gruplarının mahalle parklarına erişebilirliğini etkileyen koşulların incelenmesinde nasıl kullanılabileceğini uygulamalı araştırmıştır. Dolayısıyla, sağlıklı yaşam çevreleri ve kamusal alanların herkesçe kullanımını hedefleyen kamu ve sivil aktörler için hem yöntemler ve mevcut araçların kullanımına dair rehberlik hem de park kullanımını etkileyen yapılı çevre düzenlemelerine yönelik müdahale alanlarının tarifi hedeflenmiştir. Bulgularımıza göre; İzmir?de bazı park-ihtiyaç gruplarının mahalle oranlarının ve park alan miktarlarının mekansal dağılımları arasında ters orantılı ilişki vardır. ?Parkzengini bölgelerdeki? parklar, park çevresi ve park içi faaliyet alanlarının niceliksel ve niteliksel özelliklerine bağlı olarak (iklim koşulları, konfor ve güvenlik sebepli) ve konut içi açık alanlara erişim sebebiyle az veya dikkatli kullanılmaktadır. Bu bölgelerde ağırlıkla park içine yönelik olumlu müdahaleler özellikle 55+ yaş grupları, bekar veya çocuklu kadınlar ve 14-22 yaş genç nüfusun park kullanımını arttıracaktır

    Gis-Based Mappings of Park Accessibility at Multiple Spatial Scales: a Research Framework With the Case of Izmir (turkey)
    (Routledge, 2021) Şenol, Fatma; Atay Kaya, İlgi
    With a concern of social needs in the redistribution of benefits of parks, recent research assesses park accessibility but usually at one spatial scale (e.g. city, neighbourhood, or park). As a case in Izmir (Turkey), this study explores how to develop research with a multi-scalar focus on park accessibility. It proposes a framework with the research stages deploying GIS-based tools. The first stage identifies park-rich, park-moderate and park-poor neighbourhoods. The second and third stages evolve in three park-rich neighbourhoods and at 112 local parks. All stages deal with preparing various socio-spatial data from online sources and field observations and assess the data according to a list of themes about accessibility and diversity. The results highlight that regardless of their high park coverages per person, park-rich neighbourhoods have multiple blocks, buildings, and parks with the features hindering park accessibility for some local groups with different walking capacities and needs. The GIS-based mappings of these features can provide decision-making tools about local parks and neighbourhood interventions.

    Conflicts Over Locally Unwanted Land Uses (lulus): Reasons and Solutions for Case Studies in Izmir (turkey)
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Atay Kaya, İlgi; Kaya Erol, Nursen
    Land use planning affects many different and usually conflicting interests. While every land use planning decision has a potential of creating conflicts, Locally Unwanted Land Uses (LULUs) are the most conflict facing subjects in urban land use planning processes. This paper aims to answer the question “what are the reasons and solutions for conflicts in the planning processes of LULUs”. This paper is based on a research examining LULU cases in İzmir, Turkey including solid waste facilities, fisheries and quarries to find out the reasons and the solutions for LULU conflicts. The research findings suggest that the conflicts stem not only from negative effects of LULUs on environment and community but also from procedural deficiencies such as lack of knowledge and lack of trust. The findings also call for planning processes with more consideration of local level and public participation seeking for consensus. Meanwhile, the conclusions underline the limitations for the success of participatory processes in which conflicts are resolved with attempts including symbolic benefits rather than considering exact interests of local people. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd

    A Data Coding and Screening System for Accident Risk Patterns: A Learning System
    (WITPress, 2011) Geçer Sargın, Feral; Geçer Sargın, Feral; Duvarcı, Yavuz; Duvarcı, Yavuz; İnan, E.; İnan, E.; Kumova, Bora İsmail; Kumova, Bora İsmail; Atay Kaya, İlgi; Atay Kaya, İlgi
    Accidents on urban roads can occur for many reasons, and the contributing factors together pose some complexity in the analysis of the casualties. In order to simplify the analysis and track changes from one accident to another for comparability, an authentic data coding and category analysis methods are developed, leading to data mining rules. To deal with a huge number of parameters, first, most qualitative data are converted into categorical codes (alpha-numeric), so that computing capacity would also be increased. Second, the whole data entry per accident are turned into ID codes, meaning each crash is possibly unique in attributes, called 'accident combination', reducing the large number of similar value accident records into smaller sets of data. This genetical code technique allows us to learn accident types with its solid attributes. The learning (output averages) provides a decision support mechanism for taking necessary cautions for similar combinations. The results can be analyzed by inputs, outputs (attributes), time (years) and the space (streets). According to Izmir's case results; sampled data and its accident combinations are obtained for 3 years (2005 - 2007) and their attributes are learned. © 2011 WIT Press.
