    Impacts of Partical Plans on Urban Growth,case Study: Güzelbahçe-Seferihisar Axis
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Buğu, Soner; Arkon, Cemal
    In recent years, partial plans become intensive especially, in fringe areas of metropolitan cities in our country. The thesis research alleges that, the partial plans created a new form of urban growth and this form of growth, which is named as "urban sprawl", caused many socio-economic and spatial problems in our country. For these reasons, this study mainly aims; to evaluate the implementation process of the partial plans by determining the position of the partial plans in the existing legal system; to determine the existing and potential urban problems which the partial plans have caused; and to indicate the changes in landownership pattern within the boundaries of partial plans.This study indicated that, the partial plans, which are carried out outside the boundary of macro plans of the city, create many urban problems on urban growth process and cause unplanned and haphazard growth of the city. These problems are mainly; leapfrog and haphazard urban growth, formation of a dispersed urban grain , integration problems of the scattered urban uses, undesired city macroforms and socio-economic problems. Furthermore, this study also indicated that, there are not sufficient legal arrangements regarding the partial plans in the existing legal system, and these plans are used as an instrument for the benefit of land speculators.The methodology used in the thesis research may said to be composed of literature surveys and evaluation of the knowledge and documents gathered from the related public institutions and observations made in a case study area.Key Words: Partial Plan Urban Sprawl, Scattered Urban Fabric, Haphazard Urban Growth, Urban - Rural Fringe, Land Speculation.

    Delays in Issuing of Building Permit and Occupancy Permit: an Analysis of Causes and Durations
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2009) Demirciefe, Aysu; Doğan, Sema
    Obtaining building permit and occupancy permits are complex and time consuming processes involving many stakeholders. This mostly leads to unwarranted delays, increased costs, and needless frustration. This research analyzes delay causes and durations for building permit and occupancy permit issuances. Field study is carried out at the Konak Municipality in .zmir. 56 building and 107 occupancy permit applications made in 2008 are thoroughly examined in terms of their rejection reasons and delay durations. The findings of the research show that the most frequent application type -new construction of a standard apartment building- reviewed requires an average duration of 107 days for building permit and 99 days for occupancy permit issuance. Analyzing the delay causes, missing documents in the application file required for obtaining a building permit and incomplete submission of documents required after the building inspection in situ required for obtaining an occupancy permit are found to be the main delay causes. Permit officials, inspectors and project owners are as well interviewed to reveal their concerns and suggestions for streamlining the permit processes. Finally, the permit issuance processes of various world cities are reviewed for comparison purposes. Research results show that common problems detected in the permit processes are that they are cumbersome and time consuming due to the complexity of the codes and regulations, and inadequate number of staff. For streamlining the permit processes, re-examining all bylaws and regulations for simplifying purposes, efficient use of information technologies, preparing guidebooks with simpler terms and increasing the number of staff by improving customer services are needed.

    Using Artificial Neural Networks To Predict Issuance Durations of Occupancy Permit Applications
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2011) Kontbay, Setenay; Doğan, Sevgi Zeynep
    This study aims to predict the issuance durations of occupancy permit applications using the delay causes defined in the permit process and reveal the most significant causes affecting the performance of the prediction. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is used for predicting the issuance durations of occupancy permit applications. The model is constructed to predict the issuance durations of least once rejected applications made to Izmir Konak Municipality during year 2008. Then, sensitivity analysis is carried out to detect the most significant delay causes affecting the issuance duration. Permit data are examined to reveal the delay causes of occupancy permit process. Six inputs are generated from the delay causes and used in ANN model: 1) Number of missing approval letters, 2) Number of missing payment documents, 3) Number of non-conformances of project to codes and regulations, 4) Number of all missing documents, 5) First permit application season, 6) First permit rejection season. Total issuance durations of the occupancy permit applications are used as the output parameters of the model. The results of the analysis indicate that the prediction accuracy of the model is 86% and the number of missing approval letters, the number of missing payment documents, and the first application season are respectively the three most significant inputs affecting the prediction performance of the model. This study proves that the total issuance durations are so bound to the delay causes in the permit process that it can be learned and predicted by the ANN model and the occupancy permit process is required to be reengineered.
