Master Thesis Blue growth in Izmir Peninsula(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Coşkunışık, Ceren; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe trend towards exploiting natural resources caused by urbanization and increasing population has recently started to attract significant attention. In particular, it is the 'Blue Growth' concept, a subject not previously considered in the field of planning, for which the European Union has started to develop holistic and sustainable policies. In traditional planning studies, the terrestrial and coastal areas are considered as a whole and the marine areas are excluded from the planning. The seas, however, cover a large part of the city and its habitats. In marine areas such as the terrestrial areas; The regions that need to be protected, the species that need to be protected, the regions that are formed according to the diversity of the areas of use, and the regions that need to be used by the sectoral diversity. In this study, people from different institutions and organizations involved with marine areas were interviewed by using qualitative data collection method. The study aims to raise awareness about marine areas, to give information about the European approach in dealing with marine areas and to show that the seas should be considered together with land and coastal planning in Turkey. Therefore, in this study, we investigated how the sea areas are used, which laws and regulations are applied to the seas, which sectors and which stakeholders are involved with the sea. Then, maritime areas were examined on the Izmir peninsula in the framework of marine tourism and aquaculture and fishing. As a result of this study, we hope to increase awareness about the marine areas to be included in the field of planning and we will suggest our ideas about the holistic planning approach. This study will provide guidance on the marine environment and legal regulations for future studies.Master Thesis Fab Labs as Innovative Production Spaces in the City: Comparative Analysis of Izmir and Dortmund(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Bilgöl O, Hazal; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, a comparative analysis of three fab labs has been investigated regarding innovative and creative spaces in cities. Therefore, the fab lab models in Germany and Turkey have been examined. Fab Lab model has been emerged in the cities related to maker spaces and the Maker Movement to enhance the maker culture in the community. Under the guidance of literature reviews, the Maker Movement, Maker cities, Fab Lab model relations has been mentioned. In the scope of the study, three fab labs İzmir Fabrika Lab, Dortmund Dezentrale Fab Lab and HRW Bottrop Fab Lab was examined under the determined subtitles. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with fab lab managers and workers. Fab lab objectives shape related to establishment process, initiator and organisation model. Regarding the various objectives of fab labs, user profiles, impacts and network with other foundations differentiate. To this extent, it is crucial to answering how fab labs can spread in cities considering their relationship between maker community and public spaces in the urban design context. By developing citizen participation, considering the potentiality of transforming fab labs to third places and specialisation possibilities of fab labs can response urban and community issues or needs. Therefore, when the fab lab model considered as revitalisation and transformation strategy, it is possible to answer environmental problems and demands with innovative and creative methods.Master Thesis Evaluating the Impact of Urban Policies for Disabled in Izmir(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Şahin, Kardelen Ekin; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn the world, more than 1 billion people are experiencing disability every day, and the phenomenon of disability has been increasingly discussed each passing day. That the individual mutually interacts with the built environment and society, moreover, that physical and behavioral barriers from outside are concrete and abstract barriers that limit the individual's activities are important approaches that have been discussed for a long time. What is described here is that what creates the situation of 'being restricted' or 'disability' is the restrictive environment, society's negative and wrong attitudes. Although there are many regulations, studies and initiatives on disability and accessibility approaches in our country, it is seen that there are insufficient holistic studies, which are proceeded to remove physical and behavioral barriers and make investments in the social sphere. In this study, it was aimed to analyze the process of innovative policy making and implementation, which deals with the concept of disability both physically and socially, from a holistic perspective. In line with this aim, the 'Accessible Izmir Project' of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality was examined as a case that handles the disability phenomenon in the light of the socio-politic model and sees accessibility as a physical and social phenomenon. This project is an initiative that aims to ensure accessibility, to support initiatives in the social field, making studies to ensure the participation of the disabled in public and social life, and to create a more livable and inclusive city in doing so. In accordance with this purpose, within the scope of this project, studies are being made to get rid of both physical and attitudinal barriers. While adopting incentive approaches to provide accessibility, efforts are being made to break down perceptions and approaches, which are negative, incomplete and wrong, against people with disabilities. In this study, through the semi-structured interviews with the main actors of this project, the dimensions of this sample, disability, and approaches to accessibility are examined.Master Thesis Analysis of Four Urban Squares in Izmir According To the Leading Urban Design Literature(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Ceyhan Abacı, Fatma; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Çil, Ela; Çil, Ela; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe squares are the significant elements of the urban public spaces that provide the users different experience in the city, activate their city life and they are human oriented places for cities and societies. The squares are strong accumulation places where each day a different experience comes true so they transfer society‟s culture, social habits, way of life, memories from past to the future. Since urban squares have those significant roles for cities, researching the spatial, functional and social qualities of the squares are very important to understand and identify them. The aim of this study is to reveal the characteristics of urban squares according to leading literature studies. The study focuses on what are the criteria we need to analyze in order to determining the qualities of the squares. Accordingly, the main common ideas on urban squares in the literature have been categorized to evaluate the squares. The leading qualities of the squares comprise of the ten normative criteria based on sixteen important authors of related studies which are the main textbooks of the thesis. The content of the criteria consists mainly of the characteristics that the square must have physically, socially and functionally. In this study, Ali Paşa Square, Hatuniye Square, Cumhuriyet Square, and Gündoğdu Square are chosen in İzmir as case study area. The study cases are observed and analyzed according to ten evaluation criteria. The analyses results extract the characteristics of each square. All findings, results and normative criteria are together discussed as results. The results of this study may guide to reconsideration of urban squares within modern usages and designing more useful squares for further studies.Master Thesis Urban Tomography and Digital Humanities in Visual Tradition of Urban Design(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Yılmaz, Almira; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologySince the 1960s, the information obtaining methods used in urban design studies in the visual-perceptual dimension have been improved and renewed with the developing technology and internet facilities in the world of the 2000s, however the urban design techniques have lagged behind this. In the studies carried out until the 1990s, only hand drawings, observations, one-to-one interviews and questionnaires were used as a data gathering method, technology and digitalism were not used. Where technology is not used in urban studies, traditional methods requires large data processing as time and effort in large-scale areas therefore data gathering methods has to change. In this study, the theoretical aspects of the methods used in the visual-perceptual tradition are discussed with the examination of especially the works of Kevin Lynch, Donald Appleyard and Gordon Cullen, who use traditional methods. Since social media and digital multimedia tools are frequently used in today's societies, every movement related to the city is available in a digital environment. It is explained that with ‘Digital Humanities’ a digital library approach that has been used in today's technology; we can have a more practical, more up-to-date and developing information network. Taking into consideration the active use of social media in today's world, considering the major trends such as big data analysis, internet of things, visualization tools -photographs, video records- and social media platforms, we can discuss the urban design of the city and its places and we will be able to obtain information about the city from millions of different perspectives. In this study, what urban designer can use the information technology and visualization methods in the accelerating new technological age and what are these methods theoretically adds to the field questions are discussed.Master Thesis Place Attachment in the Urban Design Guides: Case of Buca(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Bayram, Arzu; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis study investigates physical ties of inhabitants, to Dumlupınar neighbourhood and its surroundings where situated in the district of Buca and has a conservation plan, in the context of urban design guides. While cities has faced with losing their identities in the present times, conservation plans are assets in this sense but only not sufficient enough by themselves. Technical specifications, which constitute a framework for the implementation of conservation plans, are used as a standardized template, without any specific definitions. This situation ignores the identity of each place and the historical processes it undergoes and prevents its ability to carry its values to the future. Urban design guides are the tools that makes more explicit definitions on plans by taking into account the specific development processes of each place. In this sense, urban design guides must be considered as a whole with development plans. This makes sure of cities that have different identities can be more liveable and transferable to the future. As a result, the content of the meaning of places where people grow feelings to, can be evaluated in terms of urban design guides in order to make places liveable.Master Thesis Low Carbon Neighborhood: Walking and Cycling Priority Urban Design(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Gündel, Hande; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyFollowing The Industrial Revolution, along with newly developing job opportunities, a rapid migration from rural to urban has begun. With the increasing flow of migration, the urban enlarged. With the increase of the distance in access, wide motorways and railways started to be built up on these areas. Along with major freeways, throughout 20th Century, the natural environment began to be destroyed and fragmented, resulting in urban sprawl and environmental pollution. Traces of the reclaim of the streets from car dominance were examined and the steps leading to a low carbon living were investigated. As a result, five principles were developed upon this living mode. These principles were scrutinized at the neighborhood scale. Having strong social bond in itself, the neighborhood scale is appropriate for implementing these principles. In the study, single case studies suitable for various low carbon living concepts were examined. According to the method, the theoretical structure of the study was evaluated, then applied projects were examined, and thus an awareness questionnaire on "low carbon living" was applied with cyclists representing low carbon transportation. This study of "low carbon living awareness" is the first academic study in Turkish case. According to the survey results, cyclists’ awareness of low carbon living is promising. In particular, awareness of low carbon transportation is high. İzmir has potential in terms of low carbon living. In general, there is a certain awareness degree and walking and cycling priority urban design. All of this forms the basis for the formation of low carbon neighborhoods.Master Thesis An Investigation of Public Spaces in Izmir From a Place Management Perspective(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) İnanç, Eray Mustafa; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, the development of place management, its constituent elements and the management of various public places in the case of İzmir have been investigated. Place management incorporates the effects of place making and place governance. By conducting literature reviews, place management was divided into the sub-topics of place development, place quality and place branding. In the scope of study, three international projects were examined regarding the aforementioned sub-topics, including the Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz, New York High Line and Bryant Park. Additionally, in local context, semi-structured interview were conducted with the place managers of three sites in Izmir, all having different management schemes (Balçova Telpher, The Elevator Tower in Karataş and Sasalı Natural Life Park). Suitable infrastructure, a growth-supporting legal climate and the usage of technology are three essential factors for the development of an area. However, place development is also linked directly to the development of high quality places. Besides social and environmental factors, local administrations have to give an opportunity to such development. With good design and development of an area inevitably comes the branding of such a place. To this extent, it is critical to answer the question of how a public place can be successfully managed starting from the design phase. Not only initial costs, but also running costs need to be taken into consideration during this design phase, during implementation and monitoring. Therefore, by applying good place management, it is possible to ensure both internal continuity and the sustainability of its successes.Master Thesis Exploring Temporaray Usage Opportunities of Urban Public Spaces for Event Organizations(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2010) Şenyol, Özlem; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe adjustment of urban spaces to the necessitated usages which is resulted from the rapidly altering daily practices is a difficult process. Since the traces of that alteration are widely seen in the public spaces, the design of those spaces is need to be taken into account form a large perspective. In this regard, temporary usage of public space is an essential condition used for the re-organization and re-design of public open spaces in today.s urban areas. That allows us to reconsider public spaces in relation with time and space. This study intends to evaluate event organizations in open public spaces temporarily for different kinds of events (i.e. arts and culture, sports, science and education, recreation) and scrutinizes the temporary usage opportunities of open public spaces for events with a new method .Eventcheck'. This method corresponds with other known examples of urban design studies that use checklist approach such as .Placecheck and Chapacitycheck.. In addition, this method has been developed as an urban design guide that enables to evaluate the skills and needs for various actors (such as urban designers, artists and organizers) who are the parts of providing event organizations in open public spaces.In order to obtain actor.s preferences and needs about event organizations, a comprehensive pre-determined list of semi-structured questionnaires are prepared. İstanbul and İzmir are selected for place of interviews due to their distinctive cultural policies. Consequently, this research puts forward eventcheck method for improving temporary usage into open public spaces for event organizations.Master Thesis Walkable Streets (evaluation of Streets in the Context of Urban Theory, Life and Form)(Izmir Institute of Technology, 1998) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Süel, Akın; Süel, Akın; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis study aims; to detennine evolving process of urban street and street design approaches through history, to examine general street design considerations and the pedestrian friendly street design policies, to introduce traffic calming measures as an effective new method in the revitalization of the urban streets; and to offer traffic calming techniques and policies as a new alternative in the restructuring of Turkish cities' streets. The case study focused on the application of the traffic calming measures in an intensively urbanized central area in izmir. Pragmatic approach indicated that the implementation of traffic calming techniques may work efficiently in Turkish cities if the wide range neighborhood traffic improvement programs can be applied. These programs may include following approaches in a wider sense: establishment of traffic safety education for children and adults, encouragement of city and neighborhood streets as community space rather than car space, implementation of new urban design methods for enhancing safety and livability, improvement of efficiency and effectiveness of traffic laws and legislate changes in funding and our traffic laws to provide safe and accessible conditions for non-car users. On the other hand, the promotion of traffic calming measures throughout the country can only be provided with the construction of the model projects and the preparation of the traffic calming design guidelines by the significant municipalities.No doubt that, the application of the area-wide traffic calming schemes will have the major role in the creating of walkable streets in our cities and towns.
