Book Part Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Organizing: Spontaneously Developed Urban Technology Precincts(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2012) Çevikayak, Gülnur; Velibeyoğlu, Koray[No abstract available]Book Citation - Scopus: 68Knowledge-Based Urban Development: Planning and Applications in the Information Era(IGI Global Publishing, 2008) Yiğitcanlar, Tan; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Baum, S.In the globalizing world, knowledge and information (and the social and technological settings for their production and communication) are now seen as keys to economic prosperity. The economy of a knowledge city creates value-added products using research, technology, and brainpower. The social benefit of knowledge-based urban development (KBUD); however, extends beyond aggregate economic growth. Knowledge-Based Urban Development: Planning and Applications in the Information Era covers the theoretical, thematic, and country-specific issues of knowledge cities to underline the growing importance of KBUD all around the world, providing academics, researchers, and practitioners with substantive research on the decisive lineaments of urban development for knowledge-based production (drawing attention to new planning processes to foster such development), and worldwide best practices and case studies in the field of urban development. © 2008 by IGI Global.

Water-based regional context and its transformative power at regional and urban scales have been themed on landscape studios of some scholarly works such as G. M. Kondolf et al. and S. Nijhuis and D. Jauslin. The interdisciplinary ‘regional landscape project studio’ follows a didactic approach that combines regional planning and specific mode of regional and urban transformation thinking. The whole idea of the graduate studio is, therefore, to apply landscape infrastructure and the fourth nature into ‘the regional landscape-urban transformation’ equilibrium, as a novel way to healing our living environments. Landscape infrastructure is being explored in urban studies as a concept/reality that expands the traditional set of spatial planning and design strategies towards the multifunctional system. The association of hydrological pattern with natural and urban landscapes calls for site-specific design interventions in some critical cross-section.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Morphological Analysis of the Transformations of Konak Square in Izmir(Sejong University Press, 2013) Can, Işın; Çil, Ela; Yaylalı Yıldız, Berna; Kılıç Çalğıcı, Pınar; Velibeyoğlu, KorayHistorical public spaces are always seen as the shop windows of cities by local authorities. Therefore there have been continuous discussions on public spaces' use, display, power, and control in every city. Konak Square, first public square of Izmir, was constructed consciously as an administrative centre by the government. The square has gone through different processes since 19th century. This paper tries to examine these cyclical transformations of Konak Square through morphological analysis. It focuses on Konak Square and its vicinity through the three available maps of 1941, 1989, and 2013. Subsequently it examines the two future proposals of the square both by looking at the syntactic analysis of pedestrian models and recent discussions on the square. It uses axial analysis, in situ observations, and archival research. Axial analysis coincides to reveal how the square's accessibility has shifted within the city but also compares it with the other important squares of Izmir In situ observations support the axial analysis but also signify the different daily practises and the appropriation of hard and soft spaces in the square. This study revealed that in order to judge the future proposals of a public space, we have to understand first how the space was being used and changed, most importantly the current uses and practices. Although the global integration values of the square decreased each period, locally the square became more integrated both physically and socially. Consequently, the two proposals pose a threat in the pedestrian use of the square.Book Part Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Spatial Transformations in Istanbul Cbd: the Role of Ict?(Information Science Reference, 2008) Geçer Sargın, Feral; Avar, Adile; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Saygın, Mustafa ÖmürNow with the intensive use of information and communication technologies, many cities around the world are competing to become a global city. Istanbul is enumerated within the first 50 cities in the globalization process, other than the triad of New York, London, and Tokyo. This chapter explores urban space transformation of Maslak, the contemporary central business district of Istanbul, with respect to information and communication technologies, by using deconcentration and economic restructuring approaches of urban theory. Compared to other global cities, Istanbul has distinctive characteristics, since it has been passing through a unique transformation process. More specifically, its economic, political, and social characteristics distinguish Istanbul from other cities within the same category (Gamma) of world cities. This study has revealed that transformations in Istanbul were not primarily driven by information and communication technologies. In contrast information and communication technology's role in the transformation of the Istanbul central business district is only a contributing factor.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 7Understanding the Supply Side: Ict Experience of Marmara Region, Turkey(Information Science Reference, 2008) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Yiğitcanlar, TanMarmara region's local governments in Turkey are setting the benchmark for the country in the implementation of spatial information systems and e-governance. The chapter aims to shed light on organizational realities of recent practices of information systems and technologies based on the evidences from selected local government organizations in the Marmara region. This chapter scrutinizes these practices and discusses the pivotal relationship between the information and communication technologies and its local organizational context within the region. The chapter also exemplifies challenges and opportunities of the Marmara as an emerging information and communication technology-supported region by illustrating the specific information and communication technology supply instruments. The chapter reveals that the particular success in supply side does not guarantee the sustainable information and communication technology implementation. There are other concerns including demand side that are strongly linked to a realistic understanding of end user demand, the institutional capacity of respected organizations, public-private partnership, and the joined-up policy efforts at both national and local levels.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 29Queensland's Smart State Initiative: a Successful Knowledge Based Urban Development Strategy?(Information Science Reference, 2008) Yiğitcanlar, Tan; Velibeyoğlu, KorayDuring the last two decades, knowledge-based development has become an important mechanism for knowledge economies. In a knowledge economy, information and communication technology is extensively seen as a potentially beneficial set of instruments, which may improve the welfare and competitiveness of nations and cities. At present, both public and private actors aim to exploit the expected benefits of information and communication technology developments. These technologies offer unprecedented promise for social and economic development on all global, national, regional, urban, and local levels. Therefore, this chapter seeks to investigate the potential of information and communication technology policy at both regional and urban levels, and, in particular, to shed light on various factors that influence urban information technology policies in the public domain. The chapter sets out to explain the knowledge-based urban development processes and challenges and opportunities in information acceptance and use in urban policy-making in Queensland, Australia. This chapter draws on providing a clear understanding on policy frameworks and relevant technology applications of the Queensland Smart State experience.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 6Urban Information Systems in Turkish Local Governments(IGI Global Publishing, 2005) Velibeyoğlu, KoraySince the end of 1980s, different sectors have implemented geographical information systems (GIS) in Turkey. A study on GIS market in Turkey indicates that municipalities are the primary customers (Gülersoy & Yigiter, 1999). One of the earliest GIS projects in Turkey began with the production of digital maps covering the boundaries of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in 1987. Since 1994, a rapid development process has occurred with the widespread diffusion of GIS especially in universities and large public sector organizations respectively. However, the early city-wide municipal GIS projects were initiated only after 1996 (Ucuzal, 1999).
