    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Ece Kaya, Birsu; Akış, Tonguç; Akış, Tonguç; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This academic study focuses the living space of the urban poor in İzmir through the Yeşildere region. Gecekondu areas in Turkey have emerged in 1950s with the immigration of people from rural to the city who migrate for reasons such as job, education and health care to meet the housing needs of people. These areas have become against to construction law, unplanned, without infrastructure together with serious environment and health problems. Yeşildere has become a gecekondu area in order to meet the housing needs of people who migrated to İzmir between 1960-1975 due to the establishment of industrial buildings and job opportunities. In time, having stuck in the city center, some interventions and works have been started under the name of so-called "urban transformation" because of the increased value of the land and the gecekondu residents were sent to other parts of the city or mass housing in the city's peripheries. Yeşildere, besides housing the aqueducts which still remain today from the Roman and Ottoman era, is being used as a gecekondu settlement due to the accelerating industrialization in the country. In recent years, demolitions have been carried out by the local government for certain reasons and new infrastructure works have been carried out in the region. In this context, the aim of the thesis is to evaluate and criticise the historical transformations of İzmir and Yeşildere, the physical and social characteristics of the urban poor's living space, the recent interventions by local government, the urban migrations and urban transformation practices. The thesis is constructing a critical analysis on Yeşildere and aiming to support the recent literature studies through the in-depth interviews with the people in the neighbourhood. For this reason, these semi-constructed interviews were conducted during the study with the individuals who is living and already lived in Yeşildere together with the literature study.

    (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 Technology
    The 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.
