Master Thesis Inclusive Design for Public Space in Basmane, Izmir: Psychogeography as a Design Method for Urban Furniture(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Ertürk, Aylin; Tunç Fox, Ayçaİzmir is a city that has attracted immigrants throughout the history, and Basmane in particular, has functioned as a transition hub in İzmir Basmane is a multicultural, multilingual and multiethnic district in İzmir People from different cultures and ethnicities live in this district. In such a district, people may need to have hospitality and a friendly atmosphere to live in harmony. The changes of living conditions and social structure due to mass migration, the design of urban space has become more important. It can be provided improvement people's quality of life and standards, contribution to society, creation of hospitable environment, and the feeling of belonging with urban space design. Urban furniture is the integral element of urban public spaces. Urban furniture is expected to meet human needs in public spaces. This study examines inclusive design in order to analyze the principles of urban furniture design. In order to get inclusive design approach and the accurate data of Basmane district, psychogeography was used as a design method. A questionnaire was conducted to reach out people and gather data regarding their needs in Basmane. With the consideration of the results of the dérive experience and based on the findings of the questionnaire, a suggestion of inclusive urban furniture design was shaped.Master Thesis Testing Room and Window Design Parameters for Daylight Performance According To Breeam Assessment Criteria: Cases of London and Izmir(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Sönmez, İrem; Kazanasmaz, TuğçeDaylight affects occupants' visual performance in the indoor environment. The amount of daylight determines the quality of the interior. If daylighting is controlled properly, it provides comfortable and healthy spaces for the occupants. It is the primary light source of interior and it saves energy decreasing the use of artificial lighting in the interior. Because of these reasons, daylight performance has a significant role in environmental assessment tools. As BREEAM is the first environmental assessment tool in the world which is published in the UK, it has been the subject matter in this thesis. BREEAM has 'Daylight' section in 'Health and Wellbeing' category. The illuminance value determines whether to get the credits or not in this category. It has been known that there are architectural parameters such as window size and surface reflectance that affect the illuminance value of the interiors. Each color combination of floor, wall, and ceiling results in a significant average reflectance value. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to test the whole impact of these room and window design parameters on daylight performance according to BREEAM(universities, colleges, and higher education-occupied spaces) criteria with the cases of London and İzmir. The daylight performance simulation models of the reference rooms generated with four material alternatives were built in RELUX, under clear and overcast sky conditions. Simulations run for London and İzmir covering solstice and equinox days. Findings were discussed in the view of daylighting criteria of BREEAM. In general, daylight criteria of BREEAM which is based on conditions of London (UK) were found to be suitable and applicable for cases in İzmir.Doctoral Thesis Conflicts in the Planning Processes of Locally Unwanted Land Uses (lulus): Case Studies in Izmir(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2014) Atay Kaya, İlgi; Kaya Erol, NursenLand use planning is both a technical and a political process in which many different groups with multiple interests are affected by planning decisions. While every land use planning decision has a potential of creating conflicts, Locally Unwanted Land Uses (LULUs) are the most conflict facing subjects in urban land use planning because of their negative externalities such as health effects, economic costs and harms to environment. This thesis aims to find out the reasons of and solutions for the conflicts in the planning processes of LULUs. The thesis focuses on conflicts about three LULU types including solid waste facilities, fisheries and quarries in zmir, Turkey. Qualitative research design is used with techniques including document analyses, media search and in-depth interviews. In the case studies, the conflicts are analyzed with a proposed analysis method including issues for understanding and resolving conflicts. These issues are used to discuss characteristics and reasons of conflicts and existing and proposed conflict resolution methods. It is found that the reasons of conflicts are not only the negative effects of LULUs such as odor, pollution and noise but also procedural deficiencies such as lack of knowledge and lack of trust. The findings in case studies supported the theoretical works concerning limitations for the success of participatory processes seeking for consensus. Conflict resolution attempts including symbolic benefits rather than considering exact interests of local people should be rethought.
