    Gis-Based Determination of Suitable Agricultural Areas and Comparison With Current Land Use, the Case Study of İzmir
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Demirkesen, Ali Can; Demirkesen, Ali Can; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Agricultural production is the main source of life for humanity. In order to the protection and proper use of agricultural lands are of great importance. İzmir has a high potential in terms of agricultural areas. There are three basin areas within the provincial borders and fertile agricultural areas where the continuity of agricultural production can be ensured. With the effect of urbanization and population growth, the settlements expanded towards agricultural areas. For the correct use, sustainability and efficiency of agricultural lands, the most suitable areas in terms of agricultural production should be analyzed correctly. This study was carried out to determine the most suitable areas for agriculture in İzmir. The study considers a Geographic Information System GIS-based approach. The combination of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and GIS can be used in the process of generating solutions for complex planning problems. In the first stage of the study, the criteria were weightlessly overlayed, and a result map was obtained. In the second stage, weights were obtained for each criterion using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Suitability analyzes for the study area were obtained by weighted overlay analysis using GIS. Environmental characteristics, soil characteristics and economic factors were taken into account while performing the suitability analysis for agricultural areas. The same criteria were used for both suitability analyses. As a result of the comparison between the two maps, a resultant map obtained by the weighted overlay method was found to be more reliable, and the results were compared with the current situation. In the current situation comparison, Great Lowland Protection Areas, 1/100000 Scaled Environmental Plan, and Law No. 5403 are discussed. When the comparisons were made, the areas that differed with the current situation were determined. It is seen that the agricultural lands obtained as a result of the suitability analysis are spread over wider areas compared to the current situation.

    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Kaya Erol, Nursen; Kaya Erol, Nursen; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Urban vitality represents active street life in cities. Pedestrian density and diversity of the streets, which are the most important public spaces for cities, and also variety of pedestrian activity on the streets are the urban vitality indicators. Urban vitality enhances social interaction and sense of belonging by bringing together the people from different groups for different purposes at different times of the day. Vital urban areas is the basis for creating safe, sustainable and successful urban environments. Researches argue that urban form components of residential areas encourage or limit urban vitality. Accordingly, this thesis examines the impact of urban form on urban vitality. Urban vitality studies in Turkey are mostly conducted in the the historic city centers or central business districts. There is an important literature gap about determining the level of urban vitality of an urban area in residential areas at urban block scale. Assessing urban vitality at the urban block scale is crucial to creating socially and economically sustainable residential areas. The aim of the thesis is to asssess and measure the impact of urban vitality factors related to urban form on urban vitality. In this direction, it is aimed to reveal the relationship between urban form and urban vitality through a case study. Within the scope of the thesis, two zones representing different urban forms are selected in the Yenikale neighborhood in Narlıdere District of Izmir as a case study area. Firstly, pedestrian counting is carried out in 5 different streets for each zone in order to determine the urban vitality level of the zones. Then, urban form data of the zones are collected and analyzed. Finally, the factors affecting urban vitality are evaluated by scoring method. In addition, according to the findings of the thesis, recommendations are provided to increase the urban vitality. Consequently, importance of urban form components in order to maintain urban vitality and the necessity of urban vitality for the sustainable future of the cities have been revealed.

    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Saygın, Nicel; Saygın, Nicel; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Water, as an indispensable source of life, is considered as a scarce resource due to excessive consumption, pollution, climate change, and poor management practices. As water scarcity is being felt more and more every day around the world, innovative and creative solutions have gained an emergency for cities. Instead of conventional solutions, city managements are searching for sensitive solutions to nature and local. Turkey is already facing the problems of water scarcity due to its semi-arid climate susceptive to climate change; however, the conventional approach dominates water management. Bodrum is chosen as the case study area because it has its own water collection methods used for centuries by local population and have been emerged as a cultural heritage. The aim of the thesis is to propose environmentally sensitive and effective solutions to the water scarcity of the peninsula by combining the local water heritage methods and contemporary nature-based water supply techniques. In the study, water management methods of different historical cities are examined. Later, the current water problems and different management techniques from around the world are discussed. Additionally, approaches of countries are discussed to understand concepts and implementations. In the case study, the water problems and management history of the Bodrum Peninsula are investigated. The current situation analyses and a survey are conducted. With the obtained data, a guide which presents integrated strategies to combine the local water heritage methods and innovative nature-based techniques have been developed for the Bodrum Peninsula.

    Spatial sprawling of the capital especially in the post-2002 process in Turkey increased with transportation, extraction and energy investments, by the regulatory role of state. Especially for energy investments as the one of enterprise of capital that progressed by neoliberal policies, the state intervention which is one of the state’s roles that is capital-oriented in Turkey is re-regulation processes. In the historical background of HEPPs in Turkey; Munzur Valley, it is one of the place where the capital performs itself on the nature. Munzur Valley is the nature (the nature that self-sanctity of the local people with the historical value) that spatial fix of capital by HEPPs, and it is the place where capital will realize itself. In this process which the state has undertaken a regulatory role in the areas where capital performs its activities by controlling the environmental reactions and resolving the capital-local conflict. In such capital investment processes, the state is behalf of capital to create and expand investment areas as a policy and law-maker. In order to guarantee its own continuity, the state has taken on the task of intervening by making legal regulations in case of conflicts between investors and local people, while the capital is in the stage of having a form.

    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Akbaşoğulları, Nilnaz; Duran, Hüseyin Engin; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In this study, the spatial distribution of the food companies registered in the Aegean Region Chamber of Industry in İzmir has been investigated and the causality of the site selection has been reviewed. The empirical studies conducted in the literature so far does not include a detailed study on the choice of location of the food industry, a factor that adds strength to this study. The purpose of the current study is to analyse the determinants of firm location in Izmir’s food industry. It particularly focuses on the impact of experience and size of the firms. In this study, we examined, through statistical methods (such as descriptive statistics, maps, cross sectional linear regressions, spatial autocorrelation analyses), 734 companies. The following variables were empirically analysed, firms’ establishment dates, sub-sectors, number of employees, capital assets, locations, distances from the centre of Izmir, distances from the centre of the sub-province that the establishment belongs to and the distance from each other. As a result of the empirical analyses and spatial data evaluation, companies’ choice of location in the food industry can be summarized as follows; Experience plays a very significant role, which means that experienced companies are located in the centre or close to the centre because they have already been well-established in that place. The choice of location does not have any bearing upon the size of the firm.

    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Eyecioğlu, Hilal; Can Traunmüller, Işın; Can Traunmüller, Işın; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Cinema in Turkey, which dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, has been a platform to reflect the images of the changing cities that have been affected by the cultural and economic transformations in the society. The purpose of this study is to examine the city of İzmir and its urban space characteristics as representations in cinema. Therefore, the scenes in the movies have been analyzed according to the representation of urban spaces in different periods, daily life presented in the scenes, as well as the transformation of urban spaces since 1950s. There are three stages in the study. Firstly, the films which were shot in İzmir by Turkish filmmakers have been listed. Then, as a determining factor, the movies which were shot in the urban spaces of İzmir have been considered. This study focuses on the movies which were shot within the boundary of the city. Secondly, the period between 1950 and 2016 has been divided into three sections. Films have been divided into periods according to the representation styles and subjects of films in between1950-2016. The reason for this is that the films, in which the subject, location representation, space typology, social and cultural life, etc. are similar, have been collected and examined together in a period. Thirdly, the symbolic urban spaces which are frequently at the foreground of the movies have been evaluated according to their transformations of morphological-social, visual-temporal and functional features. Consequently, this study contributes to the existing literature as it examines relation between the city and cinema through a large scale covering over 100 movies. It analyses the relationship between the represented urban spaces, and the development and transformation of the city on the basis of the urban history of İzmir. The results of the analyses have been discussed within the framework developed by Carmona et. al, under morphological-social, visual-temporal and functional dimensions of urban spaces. Keywords: Urban Public Space and Cinema, Cinema and the City, Representation of Urban Space in Cinema.

    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Ballar, Zeynep; Saygın, Nicel; Saygın, Nicel; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Water scarcity, one of the effects of climate change, has started to affect the world. Stormwater acting a main role in how the world mitigates and adapts to the effects of climate change. Cities need strategies to manage the influx of stormwater. One of these strategies is the capture and re-use of stormwater instead of run off. This thesis deals with the studies that can be carried out in urban areas within the framework of stormwater management as a climate change adaptation strategy. In this context, this study treats stormwater as an asset. Thus, preventing stormwater from producing runoff or causing floods, shows what can be done in the city to capture and even re-use again. This thesis focuses on the use of green infrastructure to increase urban resiliency to climate change and natural hazards. In this study, firstly, the theoretical literature about climate change and stormwater management are examined. Then several different projects implemented throughout the world and Turkey are investigated. It has been shown that how these examples can be used as inspiration in Halkapınar District of İzmir. Subsequently, the stormwater infrastructure of İzmir from the antiquity to the present has been researched within the scope of water management. As a result of this study, what can be done for Halkapınar district is proposed. For this purpose, regional analyzes were examined first. As a result of the analyzes, the studies that can be done for stormwater are explained. This study is intended to be a guide for future studies stormwater management in cities.

    Age-friendly' Neighbourhood Parks: Evaluating Parks in Karşıyaka (izmir) According To User Perceptions
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Imıl, Ahmet Said; Şenol, Fatma; Şenol, Fatma; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Neighbourhood parks are expected to be accessible public open spaces located in a walking distance to the residences of individuals and provide them opportunities for leisure activities, physical activities and socializing. Use of neighbourhood parks is beneficial for all, but especially for older adults, as most of their daily routines are bound to neighbourhood environment. It is observed that older adults using neighbourhood parks often tend to have better physiological, mental and social health. On the other hand, not all older adults use neighbourhood parks, commonly because physical and social characteristics of these parks are not responsive to their age-related spatial needs and expectations. An ‘age-friendly’ park is supposed to be accessible, attractive, comfortable and safe for all, and particularly older adults. Certain factors about parks and park surroundings, for instance, walkability of the streets, opportunities for social interactions or existence of restrooms affect the perceptions of older adults about the age-friendliness of parks. The aim of this study is to identify the socio-spatial characteristics of parks that contribute to their age-friendliness, based on studies about spatial experiences of older adults in public open spaces. Then as a case study based on interviews with 65 years old and older park users in two relatively age-friendly neighbourhood parks in Karşıyaka (Izmir) that are selected through site observations, this study intends to evaluate how age-friendly the older adults perceive these parks, in relation to access to parks, physical and social characteristics of parks and park surroundings. Finally, the study intends to use its findings to develop recommendations for urban design interventions to improve age-friendliness of neighbourhood parks.
