    Conflictual Interplay Between Rural and Urban Areas: Demarcation of Peri-Urban Areas and Challenges in Planning, the Case of Izmir
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2024) Aydemir, Sena; Akpınar, Figen; Çelik, Mehmet Ali
    Üretim tarzı, Batı'nın merkezi liberalizasyonu, küreselleşmesi ve sermaye birikimi nedeniyle gelişmiş ve kentsel yayılmada bir değişime yol açmıştır. Bu durum kentsel ve kırsal etkinliklerin birleştiği geçiş bölgeleri olan kentsel çevrelerin ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Türkiye'de kentsel yayılma, âdem-i merkeziyetçilik ve parçalanma süreçleri çevre bölgelerdeki kentsel baskıyı artırarak kırsal alanla bağları aşındırıyor. Bu çalışma, mevzuat politikaları ve sosyoekonomik değişimler nedeniyle sıklıkla idari sınır değişikliklerine maruz kalan İzmir'in çevre bölgelerinin sınırlarının belirlenmesine odaklanmaktadır. Çalışma, Landsat uydu görüntülerini ve hükümet veri kaynaklarını kullanarak, çok kriterli karar analizini coğrafi bilgi sistemleriyle bütünleştiren niceliksel bir metodoloji kullanıyor. Yöntem, CBS yazılımında ağırlıkların kentsel veya kırsal endekslere dayalı olarak önceden tanımlanmış kriterlere tahsis edildiği ağırlıklı bir kaplama tekniği kullanır. Bu kriterler arasında arazi kullanımı, 36 yıllık (1986-2022) mekânsal yayılıma dayalı arazi kullanımındaki değişiklikler, aynı dönemdeki (1986-2022) nüfus büyüklüğü, yoğunluk ve büyüme, yerleşime uygunluk açısından eğim, arazi yüzey sıcaklığı, şehir merkezine uzaklık (30-50 km) ve ana ulaşım ağlarına yakınlık. Bulgular, İzmir ilinin, iç ve dış çevre olarak ayrılan, değişen derecelerde kentsel ve kırsal özelliklere sahip, heterojen bir alan dağılımıyla çevrelendiğini göstermektedir. Kırsaldan kente geçişte yakalanan alanlar tam olarak kentleşememekte ve kırsal özelliklerini koruyamamaktadır. Bu nedenle çevre bölgeleri kentsel ve kırsal alanlardan ayıran benzersiz özellikler nedeniyle özel yönetim ve müdahaleye ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

    The Patterns and Motivations of Counterurbanization in Urmia During Covi̇d-19
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2024) Khajepasha, Alıreza Nıknam; Gkartzıos, Menelaos
    This thesis investigates the phenomenon of counterurbanisation in Iran during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing research in English tends to focus on counterurbanisation as driven by a combination of factors like a preference for rural life, class aspirations, and demographics. However, the global economic downturn caused by the pandemic offers a new lens through which to understand counterurbanisation, particularly in developing countries. This study utilizes both secondary data analysis and in-depth interviews with counter-urban migrants in Urmia County, Iran. The interviews reveal a shift in the primary driver of migration. Unlike existing literature that emphasizes pro-rural motivations, the findings suggest that the pandemic triggered the initial move for many migrants. However, the experience of a better lifestyle in rural areas during the pandemic ultimately influenced them to stay.

    Gis-Based Mapping of Spatial Experiences: Case of University Students in İzmir
    (2023) Bulut, Gülcan; Şenol, Fatma
    This research investigates which factors affect the urban experiences of 18 to 25-year-old university students in Izmir. It focuses on factors such as gender, income, living with or without family, and lifetime in İzmir above or below three years. It investigates how these factors affect students' use of the city's socio-cultural areas, daily and general shopping areas, sports and outdoor activity areas, and outdoor eating and drinking areas. It also investigates the places in the city that students enjoy and are unenjoyable and why they enjoy or are unenjoyable. Aiming to go one step beyond the survey and trying to use the Qualitative GIS method, it tries to capture sketch maps and narratives in a single study by using spatial markings and open-ended questions in the survey, and while doing this, it uses Survey123, with an ArcGIS application. Research data were collected from 32 men and 58 women who were Izmir Institute of Technology students. The result of this study explains the urban experiences and city perceptions of university students in line with survey results and spatial markings. As a result, it develops suggestions and strategies for the design of activity areas by looking at the urban usage areas of the students.

    Impact of Urbanization on Hydrogeodynamic Systems: a Case Study: Bornova Region (i̇zmir, Turkey)
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Öztürk, Bahadır; Baba, Alper; İşbuğa, Volkan
    Urbanization is one of the most critical processes affecting land and water use. Understanding urbanization and its impact on ground systems gained prominence with global climate change and population increase. This study focuses on the new city center Bornova Plain, İzmir; Turkey, used as agricultural land until the 1950s. Later, the region was opened for settlement, and excessive urbanization decreased the hydraulic conductivity of the surface area of the plain with the constructed buildings, road pavements, and other surface coverings. Effects of the land use- land cover changes on the hydrodynamic system of Bornova Plain's aquifers were investigated in three parts. Firstly, GIS-based hydrological models with two different periods (2004 and 2020) scenarios were developed with ArcSWAT for this thesis. Using SWAT models, elements of the water budget equation were determined. With SWAT Models, Recharge/Precipitation, Streamflow/Precipitation, and Baseflow/Total flow ratios were found to decrease 52%, 26.09%, and 11.86%, respectively, and Surface Runoff/Total Flow, and ET/Precipitation ratios were found to increase 20.59%, and 15.09% with urbanization increment comparing 2004 and 2020. Secondly, soil's bearing capacity changes with groundwater level changes within a year were investigated using five observation wells. Conceptual models were created for each well. Maximum of 14.82% of bearing capacity change was observed in the wells. Thirdly, PLAXIS 3D models were created to understand the effect of the groundwater level changes on pile settlements for sandy and clayey soils in the region. Conceptual models created and maximum of 12.74% settlement difference was observed for different groundwater levels.

    Urban Policies and Critical Analysis of Urban Transformation in Izmir: Yeşildere Case
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Ece Kaya, Birsu; Akış, Tonguç
    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.

    A New Method in the Process of Creating Urban Form: Urban Coding
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Goncagül, Ertunç; Özdemir, Semahat
    This study aims: to introduce the theoretical and pragmatic features of the New Urbanism. and the .Urban Coding Method.. vhich is known as the last pL1Ilning approach in an historical framework: to show that most of this approach' s design approach in an historical framework: to show that most of this approach design principles and the life style that it determines have something in common and convenient with the traditional Turkish values that we are about to lost: to prove that concerning local features, it would be adapted and take the place of conventional planning approach. In order to demonstrate it a physical comparative design sutdy was accomplished in a case study area, Karşıyaka Şemikler District. which is one of the most important and also problematic site within the Izmir Metropolitan Area. This study indicated that, New Urbanist principles can generate more desirable consequences as compared to conventional principles in the process of creating urban form provided that people approve to change their short sight and approve to be recepti ve.
