    People prefer or have to choose different travel modes for various reasons while travelling. The Covid-19 Pandemic has led to the change and restructuring of social life by threatening people's health. It has created important changes on travel preferences and behaviors. The importance of travel preference in transportation has increased during the pandemic period. This study aims to contribute to the literature by comparing the change in travel patterns before and during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Lately, the current reasons for preference have been largely affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic. This study reveals how the travel preferences and external factors of travel have changed. In the study, home-based work, and home-based social travels were examined. The case study of the study includes central districts of İzmir. Research data obtained by 385 person-based surveys. Since the basic methodological approach is the before/during study, the study is examined in two periods, before and during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Chi Square and McNemar-Bowker Test methods were used in the study. The study discusses the significance of the Covid-19 Pandemic effect on travel preferences and external factors on travel preferences. As a result of the study, Covid-19 Pandemic effect on travel preferences and travel external factors was found to be significant. Social travels mode preferences were the most affected by external factors. Private car ownership was the strongest external factor in travel preference before the pandemic, and education level was the strongest external factor during the pandemic period.

    Housing Production in the Last Thirty Years and Housing Question of the Poor in Izmir
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Uysal, Ayça; Avar, Adile; Avar, Adile; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In this thesis, housing production in the last thirty years and housing question of the poor in İzmir is examined. The case study focuses on the squatter housing area in İkinci İnönü Neighborhood that has been suppressed by the luxury housing development and was declared as the urban transformation area under the Redevelopment of Areas Under Disaster Risk Law (no. 6306) by Narlıdere Municipality in 2013. The squatter housing development in İzmir started as the solution by the poor for the housing problem. Particularly in the last ten years, the urban transformation projects that aim to renew and transform the squatter housing areas resulted in exclusion through dispossession of the poor. The research problem is whether the poor can enter into the housing market; how and in what ways they articulate to the system; and what waits for them after the urban renewal project that would be carried out in the area. Accordingly, a field research was conducted. It was a methodologically pluralist work covering field survey, visual documentation, in-depth interviews with squatter housing inhabitants, the mukhtar and municipal authorities, focus group interviews, household questionnaires and interviews, and institutional data collection. The findings of the research indicate that the urban transformation project carried out in the squatter housing area will result in the exclusion and displacement of the poor. The project addresses to higher income groups, is market-oriented, and insensitive to the economic, social and cultural characteristics of the inhabitants of the area. The project will be carried out by the 50% shareholding partnership of Narlıdere Municipality and a private company. Although the urban transformation project has been submitted to the approval of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, there is no agreement that specifies the title deed right of the residents.

    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Erdem, Ezgi Gül; Akpınar, Figen; Akpınar, Figen; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Cities are complicated and dynamic structures. Urban agenda has changed constantly. Urban planning has to follow and reshape this dynamism as a return. Cities are under constant restructuring with parallel to spatial, economic, social and political conditions. In recent years, urban transformation has become turning point in planning system and occupied dominant role as a policy tool in Turkish context. Urban transformation has come to the planning agenda as an indispensable policy tool. Especially in the last two decades, urban transformation projects became a tool of spatial restructuring processes and solving major problems such as illegal housing, disaster risk, and uncontrolled urban sprawl. Moreover, with the generalization and reinterpretation of the context of transformation caused conceptual and practical confusion. The implementation of the urban transformation projects is taken place almost in all Turkish cities; however, it has felt more in big metropolitan cities as in the case of first Istanbul and then Ankara. The city of İzmir, seems to be subjected to all these discussions. This study first discusses the urban transformation concept as a tool of planning, by clarifying its principles on a global scale. After, it evaluates Turkey’s performance on a holistic approach, which means all interventions that caused transformation at the citywide level in the case of İzmir central areas. The analysis has conducted using multidimensional spatial data in GIS database in relation to general policies and legislation. All urban transformations projects in İzmir have digitalized geographically on a map to evaluate their location and attributes in relation to urban plans. As a result of these analyses, it has been concluded that despite the urban transformation concept was proposed as a solution to problems of the cities, it has evolved into a new problematic because of fragmented and speculative rent seeking activities or ineffective applications. The study aims to highlight these deficiencies and offer solutions.

    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Türkmen Çelebi, Burcu; Akış, Tonguç; Akış, Tonguç; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This academic study investigates the urban transformation practices and their effects on the urban life and on the citizens of Bayraklı region of İzmir. Since the urban transformation practices in Turkey have accelerated particularly in recent years, these practices have been assessed and evaluated by analyzing a number of cases both from throughout the world and from Turkey. The purpose of the thesis is to consider and criticise the rapid urban transformation practices in the context of the housing question, neoliberal urban policies and urban actors of construction sector. Through these perspectives, this study aims to construct a multi-dimensional approach considering the urban transformation of Bayraklı district in İzmir. The focus of the thesis dwells not only on the urban transformation areas in Bayraklı, but also on the spatial alterations in the central business district as well as the shore design works carried out in the district. Firstly, the decision of moving the city center from Konak to Bayraklı is considered by this study to be a significant improvement for the city of İzmir. Additionally, the master plan of the new city center prepared by an international urban design project competition in 2001 is perceived by this thesis as an important input to comprehend the urban transformation process of this particular district. Lastly, the shore design works concerning the area produce a noteworthy effect on the region. Therefore, such a spectrum of physical and social implications and actors related to them constitute the scholarly concern of this thesis.
