Master Thesis Evolution of High-Rise Buildings as Shapers of Urban Space Izmir, as a Case Study(Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Çelik, Zühre; Serim, Muharrem ErkalIn resent years, the construction of high-rise buildings has increased In Turkey. Unfortunately, they have been often designed without taking social, historical, environmental, symbolic and visual factors into consideration. And they have got important problems in integration with the urban space. Because the building permits are not given by based upon research and analysis. Usually, the solution at this point is to decrease the density and height limits. So they have been the most discussed issue because of the their impact on the urban environment. For these reasons, this thesis is prepared to be a guide for future research on the problems of high-rise buildings in Turkey.In this thesis context the aim is; to examine the role of high-rise buildings in the shaping of urban space and their physical, functional and social impacts on urban environment, to determine the advantages and disadvantages of high-rise buildings; and also to improve the urban planning and urban design criteria to solve the problems caused by them. This research, as a case study, attempts to evaluate existing and proposed high-rise buildings within the city context of Izmir according to their location and environmental impacts.High-rise buildings can bring great potential benefits to mankind. Instead of preventing these buildings, efforts have to be focused on maximizing its benefits. To solve the problems about high-rise buildings, it is important to consider this type of buildings in urban planning and urban design process.KEYWORDS:High-rise building, skyscraper, skyline, urban space, urban form, land mark, environmental impact, mixed use, setback, urban image, visual impact, high-rise building regulation, height control.Master Thesis Urban design for disabled people(Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Gökçen, Tankut; Özdemir, SemahatDefining outdoor space dimensions and standards in respect to disabled people's requirements and redesign of selected outdoor space components in respect to these standards is the main subject of this research. It is important that just "outdoor open space" is the main concern of the research. For this reason at first, starting point of the research, "Universal Design" explained with its guidelines and principles in detail, then, importance of disabled people's participation in social and economic life and reasons of increase in their population is emphasised. After, general terminology, definitions, and dimensions of outdoor space components and disabled people's are given. Outdoor space components are defined and then, their design and maintenance guidelines, standards are given. At the end, Izmir City Centre is selected as a project area and absence and faults of existing outdoor built environment in respect to disabled people requirements defined . In project, selected outdoor space components that are not correspond standards are redesigned in accordance with design guidelines and standards.Master Thesis Uneven Development and Declining Inner City Residential Areas: the Case of Izmir-Tuzcu District(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2005) İnce Kompil, Esin; Avar, Adile; Avar, AdileIzmir, being the third largest city of Turkey has experienced rapid urbanization after 1950s and especially after 1980s. Similar to the other metropolitan cities of Turkey, İzmir presents a dual structure including the growing and declining parts of the city. Within the conceptual framework of uneven development, the thesis examines the decline process of inner residential areas of İzmir in the case of Tuzcu District (a central district) by presenting current structure of the district and comparing with the past. The theory of uneven development is one of the foremost approaches to explain the recent changes and the transformations occurring in cities within the Marxist paradigm. Capital accumulation processes and class relations have an essential role in the process of uneven development of cities. The city or built environment itself is commodified by the capital since the capital moves through the built environment itself in search of returns across an uneven and changing ground-rent surface. In the capitalist system, the main purpose of the capitalists is to gain profit by investing property in the city, where it provides the maximum returns. So with the effects of movement of capital within the built environment, some parts of the city develop while the other parts decline. This unevenness is very common for all capitalist cities in the developed countries. As a part of the dual structure of cities, the phenomenon of urban decline is discussed widely in developed countries. On the other hand, the phenomenon of urban decline is relatively new for Turkey as well as in other developing countries compared to the developed countries. In Turkey, the process of urbanization of capital had begun particularly at 1980s and this continuing period has more striking patterns of uneven development in urban areas on account of the increasing hegemony of capital on urbanization process. It is certain that the capital had inevitably been one of the main diagnostic elements of initial urbanization process in Turkey. In this framework, the phenomenon of inner city residential decline is examined using the concept of deprivation as a methodological tool. The deprivation level of Tuzcu District is measured in terms of both material and social aspects. Finally, general features of Tuzcu District as a declining area have presented comparing with the developed countries in terms of poverty, unemployment, segregation, decline of physical environment, disinvestments and economic decline, decline of public education, and health.Master Thesis Spontaneously-Developed Inner City Technology Precincts: Case of Izmir(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2010) Vuruşkan, Gülnur; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, KorayAt the end of 1990s, knowledge became the fourth factor of production beside: land, labor and capital. Knowledge sector as education, R&D, mass media, information technologies, and information services had a rapid entrance to our lives. Changing urban and economic trends effected evolution process of technological-development areas. Today, knowledge-intensive business and service sectors are accepted as the key players in knowledge-based development of cities. Suburban technologicaldevelopment areas have slipped to dynamic and vibrant urban centers where the business and service sector actually performs, and historical, cultural or creative character ascends. New urban technology precincts aim to sustain the process of knowledge production, transfer and dissemination by gathering different networks in strategic levels. Some urban technology precincts have emerged spontaneously in certain parts of cities named as spontaneously-developed urban technology precincts. Those areas act as a living organism because of their self study formation. Therefore, it is difficult to understand their general spatial and organizational characteristics The aim of the research is to clarify how spontaneously-developed technology precincts can be characterized. In this context, Çankaya-İzmir/Turkey was selected as case area. The area, was assessed within a system of indicators as governance, connectivity, clustering environment, talent and social environment, built environment, cultural and natural environment. As a result, case area in Çankaya . İzmir / Turkey can be accepted as an emerging inner city technology precinct waiting for local authorities to develop. It can be managed as a powerful source of local economic development and supply cultural and social prestige of İzmir.
