Master Thesis The Morphological Characteristics of the Block Structure in Central Areas(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2004) Bozkurt, Uğur; Süel, Akın; Süel, Akın; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis thesis aims to introduce the fundamental role of the block structure in formation of the urban fabric, and with the aim to develop an alternative method for optimum conditions of the block structure, unlike the formation methods of the 'Development Regulation'. Block structure refers to arrangement of the plots, buildings and spaces within the building blocks. So, this thesis revealed the importance of the appropriate formation of the block structure to form the urban space creating the urban vitality in central part of the city. In order to achieve these aims, urban fabric, urban space, block structure, and streets are defined with their components to understand the scope of the study. After that, the existing conditions of the urban planning techniques are mentioned to expose the formation methods of the current applications. Then, the design criteria, which are selected in the literature survey, are introduced to welladjusted design conditions of the block structure arrangement. Within this framework, the design methods are designated to analyze and design the optimum formation conditions of the block structure. Finally, these design methods, which are defined as 'Comparative Study', 'Typo-Morphological Approach', 'Figure-Ground Theory', 'Density Distribution Model', 'Natural Lighting Assessment Method', 'Urban Design Guidelines' and 'Urban Coding', are used to suggest a conceptual model for an alternative size and form of the block structure, in contrast the existing conditions of the case study area with the aim to evaluate the determination process of the optimum conditions. Key Words: Urban Fabric, Urban Form, Block Structure, Plot Pattern, Building Structure, Network, Building Density, Design Criteria, Urban Morphology, Urban Design Guidelines, Comparative Study.Master Thesis Investigating the Efects of Nodes and Landmarks in City Plannig Practice(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2003) Böcekli, Burcu; Süel, Akın; Süel, Akın; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis thesis deals with the analysis of landmarks that are active elements in the formation of ordered urban spaces, in helping the creation of more qualified and identified cities and in increasing the quality of the living environment. It stresses why the landmarks are important for a city.s inhabitants and its visitors and aims to identify certain physical and social elements, which play role on the constitution of landmarks.Human beings and cities have strong interactions, relations and connections with each other. Man has some impressions and impacts from the city that he lives in or that he visited. These impressions are images that are collected from parts of cities. Visual urban elements play an important role on the formation of the impressions that he has. Social, economical and cultural facts are other active elements that effect human beings just like visual urban elements. The most important thing here is, all these experiments and impressions he has, are influenced from the urban environment and its visual elements.This study sees one of the functions of the planner as; lessening the effects of the unpleasant cities that we live in, with the positive effects of some urban elements like landmarks. Looking from this point of view, the first aim of this study is to examine the development and the usage of landmarks throughout history, the second is to define and classify landmarks and the third is to examine and discuss their use in the cities for the betterment of cities throughout history considering the planning principles.
