    How Out-Of Activity Areas and Surrounding Land Uses Affect Students' Feelings About Coming School?: Cases in İzmir
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Özkan, Tuba Nur; Şenol, Fatma
    Araştırma 10-15 yaşındaki ortaokul öğrencilerinin okula gelme ile ilgili olumlu duygularını etkileyen faktörleri incelemektedir. Okul bahçesi gibi derslik dışı aktivite alanları ve park, diğer kentsel yeşil alanlar gibi okul çevresindeki arazi kullanımlarının öğrencilerin fiziksel ve zihinsel sağlıklarına etkisi kanıtlanmıştır. Fakat bu alanların ve buna ek olarak farklı derslik dışı aktivite alanları ve okul çevresindeki arazi kullanımlarının öğrencilerin okula gelmeye dair olumlu duygularına olan etkisine dair bir araştırmaya rastlanmamıştır. Bu tezde okula gelmeye dair olumlu duyguların önemli bir parçası olan okula bağlılık, akademik başarı, okul iklimi ve okula düzenli katılımı etkileyen etkenler üzerinden yola çıkarak okula gelmeye dair olumlu duygulara etki eden faktörleri saptamıştır. Bu faktörleri sosyal ve fiziksel faktörler olarak ele almıştır. Sosyal faktörler bireysel, ebeveyn, ev ve ev halkının karakteristik özellikleri olarak gruplandırılmıştır. Fiziksel özellikler ise derslik dışı aktivite alanları ve okul çevresindeki arazi kullanımları olarak ele alınmıştır. Aynı zamanda çocukların bu alanlara dair algıları ve bu alanlardan beklentileri de incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğrencilerin okula gelmeye ilişkin olumlu duyguları ile okul içi sınıf dışındaki etkinlik alanlarının ve okul çevresindeki arazi kullanımları çeşitliliği arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Bu tez Konak ve Karabağlar / İzmir'de dört mahallenin dört ortaokulunda 10-15 yaş ortaöğretim öğrencileri hakkında geliştirilmiştir. Alan gözlemleri ve kullanıcı anketleri sunmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, okulların yer seçimi ve derslik dışı aktivite alanlarının fiziksel tasarımına dair öneri ve stratejiler geliştirmektedir.

    Age-friendly' Neighbourhood Parks: Evaluating Parks in Karşıyaka (izmir) According To User Perceptions
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Imıl, Ahmet Said; Şenol, Fatma
    Neighbourhood parks are expected to be accessible public open spaces located in a walking distance to the residences of individuals and provide them opportunities for leisure activities, physical activities and socializing. Use of neighbourhood parks is beneficial for all, but especially for older adults, as most of their daily routines are bound to neighbourhood environment. It is observed that older adults using neighbourhood parks often tend to have better physiological, mental and social health. On the other hand, not all older adults use neighbourhood parks, commonly because physical and social characteristics of these parks are not responsive to their age-related spatial needs and expectations. An ‘age-friendly’ park is supposed to be accessible, attractive, comfortable and safe for all, and particularly older adults. Certain factors about parks and park surroundings, for instance, walkability of the streets, opportunities for social interactions or existence of restrooms affect the perceptions of older adults about the age-friendliness of parks. The aim of this study is to identify the socio-spatial characteristics of parks that contribute to their age-friendliness, based on studies about spatial experiences of older adults in public open spaces. Then as a case study based on interviews with 65 years old and older park users in two relatively age-friendly neighbourhood parks in Karşıyaka (Izmir) that are selected through site observations, this study intends to evaluate how age-friendly the older adults perceive these parks, in relation to access to parks, physical and social characteristics of parks and park surroundings. Finally, the study intends to use its findings to develop recommendations for urban design interventions to improve age-friendliness of neighbourhood parks.

    Children's Active Commuting To Schools in Different Neighbourhoods: Design of Streets as Child Friendy Environments
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Abatay, Gülce; Şenol, Fatma
    The study examines the factors that affect the 8-11 years old primary school students' commute to school by using active transportation modes (i.e., walking and bicycling). Active commuting to school is promoted for children as the main opportunity for children’s physical activity for their physical and even mental health. However, in recent years there has been a significant decrease in the number of children who engage in physical activity in many parts of the world including Turkey. As a result of rapid urbanization, decreasing number of open spaces in urban areas and also increasing level of car ownership are seen as the main reasons for children’s passive lifestyles. One of the easiest and most practical ways to adopt physical activity in children's daily life is to enable children to commute to their school by walking or bicycling. On the other hand, although there are increasing number of studies abroad, there is an important literature gap about the factors affecting children’s active commuting to school in Turkey. Besides multiple social factors (such as parents' concerns about the safety of their children) children's perceptions about physical characteristics of the built environment (such as land use and vehicular traffic) are some of the significant factors shaping travel mode of children to school. The aim of this study is to identify the social and physical factors that affect mode choice of children's commuting to their school while examining children's and their parents' experiences and expectations about the built environment. Developing as a study about 8-11 years old primary school students in two schools of two neighbourhoods in Bornova/Izmir, this thesis deploys fields observations and majorly user surveys with these children and their parents about their experiences of commuting to school. Finally, it develops recommendations and strategies for the physical design of the streets for children to use active transportation opportunities.

    Dynamics of Gentrification in a Seashore Town: the Case of Alaçatı, Izmir
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2012) Uçak, Eda; Şenol, Fatma
    This thesis examines the dynamics of the gentrification processes in Alaçatı (İzmir). The dynamics are the economic, political and social factors, the actors (the gentrifiers, the local people, the financial capital and the state) and the economic, social and physical impacts of gentrification. Compared to the cases in İstanbul and Ankara, Alaçatı as a small seashore town presents new insights about gentrification processes in Turkey. Based on the political-economic approaches, this thesis assumes that the capitalist accumulation processes since the 1980s in Turkey affect the process of gentrification in Alaçatı. My interviews with groups of residents in Alaçatı provided the study data. Study findings suggest that along with the public interventions, Alaçatı experienced a shift from agriculture to tourism, which attracted a group of pioneer gentrifiers and then other gentrifiers with high income from metropolitan cities who were searching for a small-town-living and jobs in tourism sector. This process affected economic, social and physical space of Alaçatı positively and negatively.
