    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Şenol, Fatma; Şenol, Fatma; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Metro stations are public transport stops with functional parts of the transport system. Moreover, these stations and their surroundings are public spaces where people as a group or individually come together for different purposes and use these spaces for resting, spending time, and entertainment. In addition to the functionality of the station structures, their spatial design integrated with its immediate environment and oriented to people needs are significant points to be considered. The metro station surrounding is a transit point for the transportation needs of many people during the day. This study deals within this area in terms of being used as a public space. The main purpose of this study is to determine the physical and social factors that affect perceptions of people and use of space in the public space in the example of metro station surroundings and to determine how this situation differs depending on the individual characteristics of the users such as age, gender, income, education, working status. The method followed in this context; Evka-3, Konak, Fahrettin Altay (İzmir) includes collecting data through the field observations of perceptions of people and physical characteristics in the public space around the metro station, and the factors affecting user perceptions and space use, through a survey with 300 people. There are many factors such as making you feel safe, aesthetic, attractive, comfortable, and visible among the physical and social factors affecting the use of the station surroundings. Land use and accessibility in the immediate vicinity of the station are other important factors that affect perceptions of people for the physical environment about the use of space. This study proposes urban design interferences to improve user perceptions of the metro station surrounding and increase the use of these areas.

    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    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.

    Historical districts are places formed as a result of the accumulation of tangible and intangible traces of the past. Public open spaces are important parts of historical districts. Public open spaces in historical districts are places for thinking, learning and social interaction where various social activities take place. They form the identity of the city. Therefore, it is important to preserve and maintain public open spaces in historical districts. The aim of the thesis is to develop principles for public open spaces in historical districts by considering the tangible and intangible traces of the past. This thesis examines how tangible and intangible historic traces of the past should be used in today's design. In this context, the thesis examines the public open space design approaches and principles for historical districts and to determines the public open space design principles through a case study. Within the scope of the thesis, firstly, the characteristics of public open spaces and the challenges faced in historical districts are examined, and design approaches and principles that include tangible and intangible historic traces in historical districts are studied. Secondly, examples across the world that have the tangible and intangible traces of the past in their designs are analyzed. Finally, within the scope of the Case of Urla, the design principles depend on tangible and intangible historic traces are specified for Urla Cumhuriyet Square and its surroundings.
