    Açık verinin akıllı şehir uygulamalarında hızla yayılması, kent yönetimi ve vatandaş katılımını dönüştürerek şeffaflık, verimlilik ve katılımcı karar alma süreçleri için önemli fırsatlar sunmaktadır. Kent panoları, kentsel metrikleri interaktif görselleştirmelerle merkezileştirerek politika yapıcıların ve vatandaşların kentsel dinamikleri gerçek zamanlı izlemesine ve yanıt vermesine olanak tanımaktadır. Ancak, kent panoları düşük kullanılabilirlik, sınırlı kamu katılımı ve veri okuryazarlığı farklılıklarından kaynaklanan erişim engelleri gibi sorunlarla karşılaşmaktadır. Bu araştırma, İzmir'in özgün kentsel dinamiklerine uygun, ölçeklenebilir, modüler ve kullanıcı odaklı bir kent panosu tasarlayarak mevcut sorunları aşmayı, erişilebilirlik, kullanıcı etkileşimi ve tematik uyumu önceliklendirerek vatandaş katılımını artırmayı, kentsel yönetişimi güçlendirmeyi ve sürdürülebilir kalkınmayı teşvik etmeyi hedeflemektedir. Araştırma, pano kullanım desenlerinin nicel analizi ile belediye veri sağlayıcıları ve potansiyel kullanıcılarla yapılan nitel görüşmeleri birleştiren karma bir yöntem kullanmaktadır. Küresel kent panolarının karşılaştırmalı analizi ve ortak tasarım atölyeleri, platformun tasarımını geliştirmek için temel yöntemlerdir. Gerçek zamanlı veri entegrasyonu, interaktif görselleştirmeler ve öngörüsel analizlerle İzmir Kent Panosu, hem vatandaşları hem de politika yapıcıları güçlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çevresel kalite ve altyapı performansı gibi geniş bir kentsel metrik yelpazesini kapsayan platform, veri odaklı karar alma süreçlerini teşvik etmeyi ve kamu katılımını artırmayı hedeflemektedir. Bu araştırma, İzmir için uygulanabilir içgörüler sağlamakla kalmayıp, küresel ölçekte kapsayıcı kent panoları tasarımı için tekrar edilebilir bir çerçeve sunmaktadır.

    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2024) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Özden, Pelin; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This thesis aims to analyze how participatory processes increase community engagement and enhance the role of the user in urban design processes. In this context, a mixed approach is used, blending qualitative and quantitative methods including spatial analysis, surveys, interviews and participatory design workshops. The research explores the effectiveness of participatory approaches and co-design tools in urban design, focusing on two case studies from İzmir, Turkey. The research is organized around three main questions: Which participatory design approaches effectively involve community members in urban planning? How do different co-design tools affect the effectiveness of participatory design processes? How do toolkit techniques shape user experiences in urban design? Key findings show that participatory design enables the creation of more inclusive, innovative and sustainable urban spaces by incorporating the knowledge and experience of community members. The study highlights the importance of user experience in co-design processes and reveals that well-designed interfaces and tools can increase the overall effectiveness of urban design projects by facilitating the active participation of citizens. The findings highlight the potential of participatory design to strengthen the social fabric of communities and increase individuals' sense of belonging to urban life. Through extensive analysis, this study provides valuable insights into the role of community engagement in creating livable and resilient urban environments. By examining the effects of different toolkit techniques on user experiences, the thesis aims to contribute to the development of more effective and user-friendly design processes. This research provides recommendations for developing more inclusive and innovative urban design practices and advocates for the wider application of participatory approaches in urban planning.

    Understanding User Experience of Nature in Urban Green Spaces Through Biophilic Design: the Case of Karşıyaka
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Increasing urbanization is reducing human interaction with the natural environment, creating negative consequences for both humans and nature. Since the majority of the human population lives in cities today, the nature experience mostly includes the urban nature experience. In this context, urban green spaces are among the main areas that allow people to interact with nature in their daily lives. Therefore, it is important to adopt design approaches that encourage people's nature experiences in the design of these areas. Biophilic design, which focuses on enhancing people's interactions with nature in the built environment, offers an opportunity in this context. This study focuses on understanding the user's experience of nature through biophilic design in the context of three neighborhood parks located in the Bostanlı neighborhood of Karşıyaka district of İzmir province. In this study, nature experience is considered at two levels: the environmental level and the individual level. The spatial characteristics and nature experience potentials of three selected neighborhood parks were examined at the environmental level. To explore the individual level of nature experience, a nature experience workshop was conducted with seven participants residing in the Bostanlı neighborhood. For both levels, the experience-based framework of biophilic design was used as a theoretical framework. As a result of the analyses, it has been understood that the user's experience of nature in the use of urban green spaces in densely urbanized areas is affected by spatial characteristics as well as individual factors. Furthermore, the study findings indicate that the experience-based framework of biophilic design provides a useful framework for comprehending how users interact with nature in urban green spaces.

    Evaluating the Impacts of Geothermal Energy Plants on Quality of Life: Case of Alasehir (manisa)
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Quality of life has been handled with different approaches by many disciplines from past to present, and it has started to be used frequently in the international agenda in order to meet the needs of the increasing world population and to find solutions to problems such as climate change. Due to the multidimensional and complex nature of the concept, there is no consensus on the definition and measurement method. Quality of life definitions, and indicators varies in the context of scale, approach, and method. The study concentrates on the perceived quality of life of people close proximity to geothermal power plants in the case of Alaşehir. First, the indicators used in neighbourhood, rural and environmental quality of life studies were examined and grouped under the parameters of built environment, accessibility, vulnerability, degradation, health, contamination, and resilience. Then, the historical background, usage, geothermal systems, environmental impacts and social acceptance of geothermal energy and geothermal energy studies in Turkey were evaluated. As a result of this evaluation, the participation parameter was added to the research. In line with socio-spatial analysis, the areas under the influence of geothermal power plants were determined and semi-structured interviews were conducted with the parameters. As a result of the analyses and interviews, it has been determined that the impact of geothermal energy on the quality of life in Alaşehir district is perceived through agricultural production. Contamination, vulnerability, and participation parameters come to the fore, and show that geothermal power plants negatively affect the perceived quality of life.

    This study investigates new ways of working models for designers by examining a design cooperative while contributing to the literature of new generation cooperatives in Turkey. In this study a case examination of a design cooperative has done regarding the phenomenon of new generation cooperatives and various expanded roles of designers. The case of design cooperative is from İzmir. New generation cooperatives emerged due to changes in market forces and make cooperatives to revive. On the other hand, design works scope has facing changes and tries to solve more complex problems day by day. With the help of the literature, changes in economic patterns, new generation cooperative, expanded roles of designer and penta-helix framework for multiple design initiatives is mentioned. Platformİzmim Service and Solidarity Cooperative is form İzmir is examined through determined points. Case of cooperative defines itself as design cooperative regarding their membership structure and the profile of members. Examination done via semi-structured interviews with volunteered members regarding various layers. In order to lay contextual relation several meetings done for understanding of İzmir context. Design cooperatives give the impression of a new practice that can enable all disciplines that have an impact on the design of the environment we live in, and thus the formation of a wide range of ideas and designs within the mediating practice which involves negotiation between various penta-helix actors. Penta helix is one of the concepts of the cross-sector collaboration of stakeholders (community, government, business, academics, and social entrepreneur). Yet it observed that several key factors still needs to be discussed to place design cooperative in eligible category.

    Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation and Sustainable Urban Drainage in Tropical Coastal Cities: a Case for Mombasa City
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Climate change is a reality, and its impact is being experienced all over the globe. The effects range from heat waves, rising sea levels, coastal erosion, flooding, drought, and reduction of bio-diversity among others. Urban areas are at greater risk since they accommodate the majority of the global human population exceeding 55% and are expected to be 68% by 2050. The most affected urban areas are the tropical coastal cities since most of them fall within low and middle-income countries with low levels of economic development and technological capabilities hence a low capacity to adapt. This study focuses on exploring Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) as an affordable and ecologically sustainable approach to enhance climate change adaptability in tropical coastal cities. A case study of Mombasa is considered, a typical tropical coastal city located in Kenya. Primary data sources including pictures and key informant interviews via snowball sampling were employed to gather ground information. Secondary sources consisted of institutional data review, strategic documents, policies, and scientific journals on NBS and Climate Change adaptation in tropical environments. The study findings depicted the climate change associated challenges in Mombasa include urban flooding, rising sea levels, coastal erosion, increasing temperatures. Rapid urbanization related challenges include inadequate infrastructure and services, poor liquid and solid waste management and inadequate housing. The study proposes NBS measures such as coastal vegetation restoration, implementing green infrastructure in the urban area, and creeks restoration could offer multi-dimensional benefits that can be replicated in other tropical coastal cities to enhance sustainability and climate resilience.
