Master Thesis Energy efficient urban design(Izmir Institute of Technology, 1998) Peker, Zeynep; Serim, Muharrem Erkal; Serim, Muharrem Erkal; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyMy personal interest to the term "sustainability" comes up with the close examination of the concept of energy efficiency and the clear threats to our environment let me to make an intensive study on the subject.The aims of this thesis are; to define the problems urban energy consumption causes; to indicate the necessity of reducing this energy consumption; to indicate the importance of planning and urban design to achieve energy efficiency and conservation; to describe energy efficient urban design; to identify energy efficient urban design process and its variables in a convergent manner; and to provide a detailed theoretical supply to serve for further study on this subject.The theoretical knowledge given in the thesis is based upon a wide, intense and ranged literature survey. On the other hand, the pragmatic approach which is built on the combination of the theoretical pieces with a close look at Izmir example is based on the description of the influences of climate, built environment and development and planning process on energy consumption and energy conservation status of Izmir. With respect to the climatic data and development pattern of Izmir, it can be said that any attempt to provide energy efficiency should contain reduction of energy consumption both in cooling and heating however the priority differs according to the properties of the site and microclimate. Central areas of the city, due to the existence of heat island, experience overheating, lacking- of ventilation .. In these areas cooling bas priority_ Therefore it is required to reduce the heat island effect and the energy used for cooling. On the other hand, new development areas, for instance north growth axis of Izmir, have lower air temperatures because of being not completely developed. Therefore, it is required reductions in energy use for heating. Also in order to prevent the formation of heat island and to provide thermal comfort, it is required cooling strategies In summer.Energy conservation and efficiency concepts are not common in our planning apd design practice. However, energy efficiency must be achieved through a complementary tJrban planning and design process. The concept should be adopted into master plans and regulations should promote energy conservation.Master Thesis Utilization of Urban Design Principles in Designing the Urban Space Case Studies on the Netherlands and Turkey(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2007) Bal, Ufuk; Serim, Muharrem Erkal; Serim, Muharrem Erkal; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis thesis aims to develop a concept model as a tool for successful urban space design by defining general principles and therefore to stress the importance of defining and using these criteria when realizing projects. Moreover, the thesis research aims to provide concrete examples for designers to get to know how to integrate these principles practically into design and implementation process. In this framework, first the debate on the definition of urban design has been put forward. Then, the historical development of urban design has been presented in order to understand the past experiences and attempts in creating .successful. urban space. The principles of urban design, which are crucial to develop a key model for designing the urban space, have been defined. Furthermore, current policies and design control systems in different European countries have been examined. The historical development of urban design practice with contemporary examples from the Netherlands and Turkey have been examined. The thesis provides brief analysis on urban design projects with respect to urban design principles in seven headings, which constitutes the components of successful urban space: character, continuity and enclosure, quality of public realm, ease of movement, legibility, adaptability and diversity. In this context, urban design principles have been used to monitor the urban design projects from the Netherlands and Turkey with making comparative study between them. In this sense, selected projects have been evaluated and compared basing on how they fulfill the requirements that have been described with the above mentioned urban design principles, and more importantly, how they satisfy these principles in the process of designing the urban space. As a consequence, importance and necessity of urban design principles in order to create successful urban space and the importance of urban design for the future of the cities has been presented.
