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.

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.

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.Master Thesis Urban Transformation İn Izmir/bayraklı District(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Türkmen Çelebi, Burcu; Akış, Tonguç; Akış, Tonguç; 02.02.

The focus of the thesis dwells not only on the urban transformation areas in Bayraklı, but also on the spatial alterations in the central business district as well as the shore design works carried out in the district. Firstly, the decision of moving the city center from Konak to Bayraklı is considered by this study to be a significant improvement for the city of İzmir. Additionally, the master plan of the new city center prepared by an international urban design project competition in 2001 is perceived by this thesis as an important input to comprehend the urban transformation process of this particular district. Lastly, the shore design works concerning the area produce a noteworthy effect on the region. Therefore, such a spectrum of physical and social implications and actors related to them constitute the scholarly concern of this thesis.
