Book Part Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Energetic and Exergetic Design Evaluations of a Building Block Based on a Hybrid Solar Envelope Method(Springer Verlag, 2018) Mert, Yelda; Saygın, NicelTo achieve sustainable development, there needs to be a focus on decreasing use of non-renewable energy sources and greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard, many studies focus on the strong relationship between energy and the environment. This study aimed to introduce the exergy analysis method into the urban planning field to find out the amount of exergy, rather than energy, that can be conserved in a building block when a solar envelope-based design is applied. In addition to the known energy-efficient design parameters, a criterion for the solar envelop method is integrated into a single method. This hybrid method includes taking into account the requirements for orientation, spacing, landscaping, and building form, as well as the building height properties as proposed in the solar envelop method. The solar envelop method depends on understanding the changing position of the sun throughout the day and year. If this dynamic behavior can be a factor in the design of an urban area, environmental friendliness, sustainability, and reduced energy consumption can comprehensively be achieved in cities.Master Thesis Reclaiming Ecological Sustainability of Urban Streams by Use of Green Infrastructure Techniques(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2016) Aksoy, Selçuk; Saygın, NicelEcological sustainability of urban streams has been significantly reversed from the last quarter of the 20th century onwards. This reverse has occurred as a result of increasing urbanisation and human activity, including construction in floodplain areas, relocation and culverting of streams, channelization, riparian clear-cut, and discharge of wastewater into streams. However, on comprehending the significance of urban streams, ecologically-based stream rehabilitation projects have been preferred to hard engineering solutions. These rehabilitation projects not only restore stream ecosystems but also reclaim their contribution to urban landscapes through the provision of ecological, social, and cultural assets. Based on the above, this study sets out to examine urban stream rehabilitation in the context of sustainable water management. In that regard, this research suggests an integrated and holistic approach through green infrastructure tools which can compensate for misguided human interventions on nature, and reclaim ecological sustainability of urban streams and their environs. In line with ecological sustainability, best practices from various countries and the case study of the research evidenced how the degraded stream ecosystem could be rehabilitated by using green infrastructure techniques. The research methodology used in the study involves analysis of the theoretical literature on green infrastructure and stream rehabilitation, best practice analysis, and case study analysis to develop a rehabilitation guideline for Arap Stream and its surroundings. In this sense, the research presents urban-scale, district-scale and neighbourhood-scale rehabilitation strategies for the case study. Finally, the study delivers the rehabilitation plan for Arap Stream that includes in-stream and green infrastructure techniques.Master Thesis Place-Making: Examination of Practices in Turkey(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2015) Kuru, Ömür Damla; Saygın, NicelPlace-making is an approach which represents a comprehensive framework in building public places with a major concern of assigning functions in an ongoing process. The major point that place-making distinguishes from the former approaches is underlining the process of making instead of the certain product of design. This thesis is a descriptive study which aims to explain the making process of contemporary practice in Turkey. The perceptions of privacy and publicness concepts in Turkish Culture are different than they are in Western Culture. These two cultures are similarly affected by recent movements against top-down policies which lead commodification of commons. Pressures cause reactions such as Wall Street Occupation and Occupation of Tahrir Square. When we consider Turkey, we see that the place-making process is driven by NGOs and platforms that advocate right to the city similar to worldwide movements. In this thesis place-making process in Turkey is introduced with its traditional background and its contemporary break through. Three types of bottom-up movements are taken as cases that are selected from Istanbul, the primary city of Turkey and under a great pressure of construction. Gezi Park Occupation, Kuzguncuk Farm Reaction and Don Quixote House Occupation and Yeldeğirmeni Neighborhood Revitalization are analyzed through main components of making process; actors, processes and outcomes. It is remarked that place-making process draws a distinct identity rather than the traditional approach to public places and aims to protect commons by advocating right to the city in different social contexts that reflect the complexity of place-making process.Master Thesis The Development of Shopping Centers in Turkey: The Case of Denizli(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2010) Kuyumcu, Aysun; Saygın, NicelIn the last decade, even though the importance of shopping centers appear to decrease day by day, their place within the Turkish real estate market displays a considerable rise. Among those reasons underlying the increase of investments on shopping malls take place the stability of the economic environment, the insufficiency of supply within the market of shopping centers, the young and dynamic population, the increase on gross domestic product, and the high profit ratio compared to other countries. As an explanatory research, this study targets at evaluating the changes and development of shopping centers in history, identifying the characteristics of today's shopping centers, examining the location criteria of shopping centers, and focusing on the development of shopping centers from the world-wide scale to Turkey and Denizli. This study has dwelled upon the characteristics and classification of shopping centers in the world by ICSC and DeLisle and of those in Turkey by AMPD. Among the examined issues take place the adopted criteria in selection of location for shopping centers and the development process of Turkish shopping centers as based on quantitative information obtained. The development process of shopping centers in Turkey have been analyzed for the period between 1988-2009 and in addition to existing circumstances, future considerations have also been made. Examination of the development process of shopping centers in Denizli, on the other hand, has involved consideration of firstly the geographical and socio-economic status of the city, and then of the urban development profile as well as the traditional trade district. In the final stage of the examination, all shopping centers in Denizli have been chronologically analyzed in terms of their development processes, investors, relations with the urban pattern, physical characteristics, transportation facilities and accessibility. In result of the comparative evaluation, discussions focus mainly on the location of shopping centers and their harmony with the urban pattern as well as their future strategies against the threat of becoming identical with one another.
