    Equitable Accessibility of Public Open Spaces: a Comparison of Measurement Methods in Metropolitan Area of Izmir, Türkiye
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Şenol, Fatma; Kaya, Ilgi Atay; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The accessibility of public open spaces (POS) is assessed by comparing the characteristics of these spaces with the population characteristics across various urban units. Known as "equity mapping" of POS, this method identifies and addresses spatial inequities and environmental justice issues related to POS accessibility. However, research in this area has advanced further in countries with data availability at small spatial scales (e.g. census tracts), enabling the measurement of accessibility within walking distances. To address the challenges of conducting research in data-limited contexts, this case study in Izmir (T & uuml;rkiye) investigates which spatial analyses can facilitate the development of a comprehensive equity mapping of POS accessibility. T & uuml;rkiye has demographic data available at the neighbourhood level, including age, gender, and education, but lacks data on income, race/ethnicity, and other characteristics commonly used in mainstream research. This paper assumes that children, the elderly, and low-education groups (a proxy for income level) have a greater need for POS. It explores three forms of overlay analyses: feature-based, raster-based, and fishnet-based. Additionally, it examines the metropolitan area and its sub-regions as terrains with different POS accessibility. The results highlight the Centre as having the weakest POS accessibility in neighbourhoods with high child ratios and low education levels. The fishnet-based density analysis offers a finer lens for identifying the locations of priority areas for POS provisioning, even within neighbourhoods. HIGHLIGHTSFor improving public open space (POS) accessibility, GIS-based measurements of physical and social data can determine priority areas in the cityPOS accessibility measurements in mainstream research use certain data and spatial units unavailable in data-limited countriesIn data-limited countries, the grid-based density analysis can provide more accuracy about priority areas for POS planningTaking the city with sub-regions of different POS accessibility helps with determining priority areasIzmir's central city and neighbourhoods with high child ratios and low education levels have the weakest POS accessibility

    Diverse Geographies of Urban Crisis: a Comparative Analysis of Egypt, India and Türkiye
    (Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2024) Penpecioğlu, Mehmet; Bayırbağ, Mustafa Kemal; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The article concentrates on the reasons behind, and consequences of, the post-2008 urban crises experienced in the southern geographies of capitalism. It does so through a comparative analysis of three cases, namely India, Egypt, and Türkiye. The methodological approach in the article attempts to expand the scope of urban politics research to bring divergent cases into conversation. We argue that loosely defined, similar and different causes and/or repeated outcomes of urban crises across diverse cases could form an appropriate base for research in urban politics. The article brings the politics of redistribution in three cases/countries under the spotlight, focusing on four dimensions of the politics of redistribution: (dis)possession; exploitation; commons; and representation. While the last two dimensions dominated the scene in Egypt, in the case of Türkiye, it was about the politics of representation and exploitation. In India, the politics of (dis)possession and commons seem to constitute the center of urban politics. Furthermore, as the comparative analysis of the countries reveals, the role of the state and its historical and spatial configurations have played a strategic role in the formation of the politics of distribution. The comparative analysis also indicates that the variegated neoliberal urban policies have become successful or have failed in containing urban crises. The reasons for the success/failure in urban policies depend on three major factors: (1) the spatio-institutional design of the urban policy-making mechanisms; (2) the historical pattern of urbanization; (3) the role of the nation-state, especially the central government, in the politics of redistribution.
