    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.

    Groundwater in Local Development Strategies: Case of Izmir
    (IWA Publishing, 2018) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Yazdani, Hamidreza; Baba, Alper
    This study takes into account groundwater in local development strategies of Izmir, in which rapid and uneven development has occurred in recent decades. Therefore, resilience thinking is needed in the future development of the city-region. To this end, the paper aims to make an analysis of recently completed asset-based local development strategies for Izmir city towards water resiliency. The methodology has two main steps. Firstly, by using spatial interaction analysis of peninsula and river basins, potential vulnerabilities and risks are indicated. Secondly, a stratified model of strategy evaluation is conducted by scrutinizing the existing layered approaches. Then, these models were applied to all strategic decisions including water resources and indicated a high level of consistency to achieve sustainable and resilient use of blue-green infrastructure in the future of Izmir’s metropolitan area. Local assets, including water resources, are the backbone of future development of the Izmir city-region. Therefore, usage of local assets in a multi-level perspective of strategy development needs to be understood. The stratified model denotes that special emphasis should be given to different river basins in different levels. This study illustrates that synergy management is needed between different layers of local development strategies, in which the role of urban and rural households is of the utmost importance.
