    The Assessment of the Criteria of Social Infrastructure Within the Scope of Women-Friendly City Planning Approach: The Example of Çiğli
    (Konya Teknik Üniversitesi, 2022) Güney, Mercan Efe; Tuncay, Beste; Tanrıverdi, Sıdal; Şanlı, Nurseli; Akbudak, Hacer; Ay, Filiz
    There is a close parallel between the freedom, equality and socialization that the residents in a social sett??ng are enjoying and the openness and equal availability of the social infrastructure in this setting. When these points are taken into consideration, it is possible to get the idea that social infrastructure areas should be planned as woman-friendly city criteria. So long as the urban planning fails to accomplish this task of creating a due process and language for gender equality, the social infrastructure areas in the cities will continue to pose a serious problem to the gender equality. In this article, an attempt has been made to articulate some suggestions for evaluating the social infrastructure areas in the light of woman-friendly city planning. This article offers some gu??delines for deciding which data should be taken into consideration and how the social infrastructure areas should be examined. The study analyzes social infrastructure areas following four categories: adequacy, accessibility, safety and usability. The findings revealed that no social infrasurcture areas met these criteria, especially in the densely used areas. The lack of face-to-face interviews with women is the shortcoming of the study. The study is one of the first studies on the subject, but it is thought that it will contribute to the field literature with its review and recommendation codes.

    Assessment of Green Areas Criteria Regarding Women-Friendly City Concept: Case Study of Çiğli
    (Cogent OA, 2022) Efe Güney, Mercan; Ay, Filiz; Tuncay, Beste; Tanrıverdi, Sıdal; Şanlı, Nurseli; Akbudak, Hacer
    Turkish women use cities as service areas where they practice their social gender roles. Parks are one of these service areas. This study aims to propose ways to analyze and assess green areas as public places regarding the women-friendly city concept as a way of promoting gender equality. The study claims that planning and constructing a green area is insufficient to create a public place, and the existence of a green area does not mean that it can be used. Furthermore, green areas should be approached in a context where their existence is not merely limited to their square meter ratios per person. Thus, green areas should be planned with a women-friendly perspective which meets the needs and demands of all users and with an approach that overcomes the intersectionality-blindness of planning.This study analyzes green areas based on the following three categories: accessibility, safety, and usability. The findings revealed that no parks met these criteria, especially in the densely used areas. Furthermore, problems related to all the three criteria were observed in the central area, and as people moved away from this area, issues related to accessibility and security came to the fore.
