The Integration of Land Use Planning Process With Water Resources Management: Analysis of Küçük Menderes River Basin Catchment Area-Turkey
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2012) Bolposta, Rabia; Özdemir, Semahat
The role of water in land use planning has aroused a growing attention in the recent years. The importance of the linkage between water resources management and land use planning has been discussed in related literature, but there has been less attention to practical ways to implement and assess this concept in detail. As a result, an “Integrative Policy Framework (IPF)” first was set out by focusing on three national contexts -Netherlands, England and Australia, in terms of interpreting the phenomena of the contribution of land use planning to water resources management. This phenomena was then used to examine the legislative and institutional approaches in Turkish legal system in relation to planning and environmental management. From the analysis of this examination, it is argued that, the potential of land use planning system at present is not fully appreciated. There is a need to utterly identify and characterize the interactions between the water sector and the land use planning and to establish the process of making consistent joint for the water sector and the land-use concept. Finally, Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework, developed around exogenous variables, action arena and five core dimensions based on Integrative Policy Framework, was applied to analyze the integration and the management activities in detail within Küçük Menderes River Basin catchment area. Results showed that this watershed faced institutional, administrative and financial problems. The research reinforces the importance of vertical and horizontal plan consistency, provincial and local leadership, building of networks among actors, emphasizing a process of problem assessment and strategy development on the local level to help the related watershed overcome problems.
A Method for the Analysis of Lot- House Relations in Ottoman Housing Patter
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2011) Saf, Hayriye Oya; İpekoğlu, Başak
Defining the lot - house relations in the Ottoman housing pattern is significant for determining the authentic settlement characteristics of the pattern. In this context, this study, based on a morphological analysis method, claims the necessity of analyzing the pattern in terms of house-lot related parameters. Geographic Information System (GIS) software has been used for the visualization of analysis results. The aim is to create a set of rules between the house and lot. The inferences to be obtained as a result of this study can be used as a design guide in the field, in which method is to be applied for creating a conservation plan for a project. The study area selected was Edirne Kaleiçi Region. The method was created through a three-phase system. The variables were specified in the first phase; and then analyses that would display the structural relations were determined. The implementation and evaluation phase was the third phase of the method. As a conclusion of examining the lot - house relations within the parameters set, the thesis has identified the morphological relations with respect to the main plan types, sub plan types and lots. On the condition that this method is applied in other cities, it would be possible to comment more on the lot - house relations for the Ottoman house pattern.
