Master Thesis A Study on Place Identity and Placelessness on the Backside of the İzmir-Alsancak Port Using Environmental Perception Approach(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2024) Akpınar, Figen; Bozay, Tuğçe; Akpınar, FigenGünümüzde, küresel dinamikler ve mevcut planlama anlayışı ile üretilen kentsel alanlarda hem fiziksel hem de sosyal problemler son zamanlarda artış göstermektedir. Bu üretimler birey, toplum ve kent ilişkisini olumsuz etkilemekte, yerlerde kimlik, aidiyet, bağlanma sorunları ortaya çıkarmakta, tekdüze yerler üreterek yerlerin ruhunu ve anlamını yok etmektedir. İzmir kenti bu neoliberal anlayışlar sonucu parçalı projeler ile köklü dönüşümlere maruz kalmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın yürütüldüğü bölge olan İzmir Liman Arkası, İzmir Yeni Kent Merkezi projesinin gökdelen formundaki yapılaşmasına maruz kalmış, endüstri mirasına sahip bir çöküntü bölgedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, İzmir Liman Arkası bölgesi için değişim ve dönüşüm süreçlerini inceleyerek, yerel halkın algısında yer kimliğini ve yersizlik unsurlarını araştırmak ve böylece küresel politikalar ve mevcut planlama sürecine bir eleştiri getirmektir.Master Thesis 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 AliÜretim 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.Master Thesis Earthquake Risk Management in Spatial Planning: the Case of Bayrakli-İzmir(2023) Öztürk, Dilara; Akpınar, FigenTurkey has a rapid urbanization and expansion, especially since 1950s. Today, 93.4 percent of the population live in urban areas (TurkSTAT 2022). This is a threat for the country because disasters that cause great damage to human life, building stock and urban infrastructure affect urban areas more negatively. Consequences of earthquake disasters have been experienced before because most of the country consists of earthquake-prone regions defined as high risk. That is why, the issue of reducing earthquake risks in spatial planning processes is of great importance for the country. Disaster mitigation strategies, policies, actions in planning decision making and implementation processes are currently crucial and cannot be postponed. 30 October 2020 earthquake caused more than 117 deaths, collapse of numerous buildings and massive damage in Bayraklı district of Izmir. The extent of the damage show that once again, the city has a high earthquake risk however it is not adequately prepared for that risk. This study aims to provide an overview of risk management in spatial planning, as well as providing guidance for future spatial planning methodologies, from the perspective of Izmir-Bayraklı's previous planning initiatives. After evaluating the earthquake risk management in spatial planning generally, the case of Bayraklı will be analysed in detail. This will include an analysis of the previous plans' risk management strategies, an explanation of why such significant destruction took place despite the existence of a nation-wide strict legal framework and planning efforts, and a recommendation for a spatial planning policy that will ensure the sound-basis risk management in planning. The case study area includes Mansuroğlu, Manavkuyu and Adalet neighbourhoods located in Bayraklı district of İzmir province.Master Thesis Using Transfer of Development Right for the Preservation of the Agricultural Areas on the Periphery of İzmir: Torbalı Case(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Akbudak, Hacer; Akpınar, FigenTurkey has been experiencing rapid urbanization and urban expansion since the 1950s. With the processes of decentralization, the city is increasingly being brought into rural areas, building pressure is increasing, agricultural production and natural resources are being destroyed, and rural areas are increasingly fitted with urban uses (shopping, tourism, leisure activities, etc.). Rural areas in close proximity to urban areas are more vulnerable to development pressures and are at risk of being abolished or abandoned. On the other hand, with the enactment of the new regulations Transfer of Development Rights is entered Turkish Planning System as a new and innovative solutions. However, there has been any available application of the TDR yet. The study’s objective is to assess the TDR's effectiveness as a tool for protecting agricultural land on the periphery of Izmir's large metropolitan area. Izmir's Torbalı district was chosen as a case study regarding intensive agricultural activity. A bundle of techniques is used including a large survey analysis of the area. A hypothetical mathematical model was applied for assessing and transferring the market-base value for the agricultural land. First, we carried out a series of analyses to determine the implications and repercussions of Turkish planning on agricultural land protection and how to define urban growth boundaries for farmland protection. Then, using the hypothetical TDR model, we calculated the value discrepancies between urban and rural areas in the study area, Torbalı-Muratbey location. Finally, we reviewed and discussed the challenges concerning TDRs, as well as their applicability and potential in the Turkish Planning System.Master Thesis As a Case Study of the Impact of Food-Based Festivals in Rural Development Urla Artichoke Festival(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Aslan, Onur Bora; Akpınar, FigenAs a result of globalization's impact throughout the past century, rural areas have experienced a change in their social, cultural, and economic landscape. With the change of agricultural production practices, population decline, depletion of natural resources, and threat of new housing constructions, rural communities have undergone deep transformation and under the therat of change of the rural identity. The idea of rural tourism, which was created to stop rural regions from the transformation, has taken center stage in rural development and, by extension, regional and national development. Improved living conditions, a better quality of life and built environment, and increased economic activity are all examples of rural development concepts. In areas with unique gastronomic, environmental and cultural values, rural tourism has emerged as a viable alternative to the tourists. Food festivals are among the most effective motor for growth in areas with distinctive culinary values. Events that promote unique gastronomic values on a national or international level and contain product sales are called as a food festivals. In the context of this study, the Urla Artichoke Festival, which has been hosted since 2015 and celebrates a geographical indicator for gum artichoke, has been successful to promote the rural areas and their branding. The stakeholders of the Urla Artichoke Festival were identified as a first step in the research. To learn more about these stakeholders' contributions to the festival and their opinions on the economic, cultural, and social impacts of the event on rural areas, semi-structured interviews were undertaken. In the research systematic tables were used to present the information which were collected during the interviews. The conclusion section includes a critical discussion of the collected data. The concept of gastronomic tourism has been reviewed in the context of the Urla Artichoke Festival in this study. Issues have been found and solutions have been established to deal with rural development practices in a more planned, sustainable and efficient manner.Master Thesis Preservation of Cultural Routes: Historic Center of Manisa(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Keke, Damla Gül Begüm; Turan, Mine; Akpınar, FigenCultural routes help perceiving the heritage elements in a historic urban site as a whole and transform their display into an enjoyable experience. Manisa historic center is chosen as the study area. The site has housed many civilizations throughout history and had been an important trade center on the historic silk road, but it has lost its integrity with the fire of 1922 followed by modern urbanization on the historic site. It is aimed to search the ways of presenting the isolated cultural and natural assets of the historic center through establishment of a cultural route. The way followed includes literature review, site survey, analysis, evaluation, proposal development and discussion. Features of examples and Manisa cultural route, such as route type, length, form and assets, discussed by comparison. As a result, a common vision for the cultural route of Manisa center with four different sub-themes is determined as “On the Trail of the Silk Road, the Cultural Network of Manisa.” The cultural route will revive the spirit of the caravan route, the experiences of the old travelers, and the traditional way of life. Linear formed, short length stages are suggested. Awareness of heritage protection can be improved by increasing the visibility of the assets along the route stages. It is expected that tourism activity in the region will increase. Proposing local-scale cultural routes in Manisa will pave the way for Manisa to participate in larger cultural route networks by conducting regional-scale route studies.Master Thesis Urban Transformation in Turkey Within Historical and Legal Framework: a Comprehensive Evaulation in Izmir(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Erdem, Ezgi Gül; Akpınar, FigenCities are complicated and dynamic structures. Urban agenda has changed constantly. Urban planning has to follow and reshape this dynamism as a return. Cities are under constant restructuring with parallel to spatial, economic, social and political conditions. In recent years, urban transformation has become turning point in planning system and occupied dominant role as a policy tool in Turkish context. Urban transformation has come to the planning agenda as an indispensable policy tool. Especially in the last two decades, urban transformation projects became a tool of spatial restructuring processes and solving major problems such as illegal housing, disaster risk, and uncontrolled urban sprawl. Moreover, with the generalization and reinterpretation of the context of transformation caused conceptual and practical confusion. The implementation of the urban transformation projects is taken place almost in all Turkish cities; however, it has felt more in big metropolitan cities as in the case of first Istanbul and then Ankara. The city of İzmir, seems to be subjected to all these discussions. This study first discusses the urban transformation concept as a tool of planning, by clarifying its principles on a global scale. After, it evaluates Turkey’s performance on a holistic approach, which means all interventions that caused transformation at the citywide level in the case of İzmir central areas. The analysis has conducted using multidimensional spatial data in GIS database in relation to general policies and legislation. All urban transformations projects in İzmir have digitalized geographically on a map to evaluate their location and attributes in relation to urban plans. As a result of these analyses, it has been concluded that despite the urban transformation concept was proposed as a solution to problems of the cities, it has evolved into a new problematic because of fragmented and speculative rent seeking activities or ineffective applications. The study aims to highlight these deficiencies and offer solutions.Master Thesis Transfer of Development Rights for the Effectiveness of the Conservation Plans: a Case From Historic Kemeraltı 1st Ring Residential Areas in Izmir(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Güzle, Gamze; Akpınar, Figen; Duvarcı, YavuzThe efforts for conservation of cultural heritage in historical settlements are highly problematic issue in Turkey. One of the main reasons for this is highly associated with the limited fiscal compensation provided by the central ministries and local bodies for those people who live and/or possess immobile property under restrictions of their development rights. For this reason, it is indispensable to introduce new tools for the effectiveness of the conservation activities of the heritage areas. On the other hand, with the enactment of the regulations Transfer of Development Rights (Law no: 5226/2004) is entered Turkish Planning System as a new and innovative solutions. However, there has been any available application of the TDR and implementing regulation yet. The main objective of the thesis is to discuss the applicability of the TDR as an instrument for the ease of the conservation procedure in the 1st Ring Residential Area which is located in Izmir’s Historic core areas, Kemeraltı region. In methodology, a bundle of techniques such as survey analysis and depth questionnaires are used. We made a comparative study based on a typical "what-if case" that if the case study area were not really under the status of conservation then how it would be developed in accord with the Development Plan’s right. Assumption that "If the Agora-Kemeraltı region were not really under the conservation status, it would be similar to the Alsancak-Çankaya region which is 500 meters away." the comparison of the housing market value between the two areas realized the restricted development right by the conservation plan.The Ministry of Culture and Tourism grants only accounts for 48% of the total maintenance and restoration cost. Due to financial deficiencies, it is not feasible to preserve the region with current planning tools. Even though, the preservation of Historic Kemeraltı seems to be a difficult challenge, there seems to be some positive clues for the future with the application of the TDR.Master Thesis Problems and Rehabilitation Proposals in the Conservation of the Area Surrounding Süleymaniye Külliyesi(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Alsancak, Handan; İpekoğlu, Başak; Akpınar, Figen; İpekoğlu, Başak; Akpınar, FigenThe settlement located in the Historical Peninsula and around the Süleymaniye Külliye has an urban historical texture composed of Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman ruins and structures. Today, the area between Süleymaniye Külliyesi and İstanbul Textile Traders’ Market is gradually losing its traditional texture characteristics as a result of unqualified interventions, changes in land use and dilapidation. The aim of this study is to analyze the values and problems of the settlement, which was identified as the World Heritage Site and to develop interventions for preserving and sustaining the area with its traditional characteristics. Within the scope of the study, sub-zones were determined by considering the distribution of historical structures in the area, traditional texture characteristics, change and originality in the settlement texture, diversity and distribution of commercial and residential use, conservation and change characteristics. Intervention decisions were developed by evaluating the environmental, architectural and socially examined values and problems. As a result of the study, pedestrianization of the streets with heavy vehicular traffic, design of the registered empty plots, used for parking, as a reinforcement area, design of Emir Madrasah plot as an informative exhibition area about the monument are some interventions on the area scale. On the building scale, restoration of the ruined monuments, use of monumental buildings in accordance with their original use were proposed, building specifications based on building height and footprint for new buildings were determined for the entire commercial area around Kirazlı Mescit Street.Master Thesis Assessment of Conservation Problems of Historic Damlacık District, Konak, Izmir(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Gökçınar Balkan, Pınar; İpekoğlu, Başak; Akpınar, FigenDamlacık District with a history dating back to Roman Period is one of the oldest Turkish settlement areas from the 17th century in Kemeraltı neighborhood of İzmir. The district, preserving its historical settlement texture until today, having a bay view together with its centuries old trees located within green areas has environmental and architectural features that need to be protected. Interventions to be carried out in this area having the historical, cultural and architectural indicators of the city’s past identity, should not lead to the loss of its values. Konak-Yeşildere Tunnel, the excavation of which started in 2011 and completed in 2015, connected Konak to Yeşildere passing under the north-south direction of Damlacık District. The aim of this study is to investigate the increasing damage in Damlacık District, due to the construction of Konak-Yeşildere Tunnel, located in an Urban and 3rd Degree Archaeological Site with its historical and traditional features, and consequently to develop conservation proposals. Within the scope of the study, the area was sub-divided into smaller zones considering the diversity and distribution of commercial and residential use in Damlacık District, its protected and altered characteristics, social and physical effects of the tunnel in the area. The district was examined from environmental, architectural and social aspects; intervention decisions were developed by assessing its values and problems. As a result, revitalization of Damlacık District through structural measures, social projects and restoration projects starting from the tunnel route and its surroundings, establishing a project and implementation unit under the supervision of local administration, restoration of the remaining registered and sugessted for registry structures in the tunnel route and restoration of the selected historical houses for adaptive reuse by residents were proposed.
