    Blue growth in Izmir Peninsula
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Coşkunışık, Ceren; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
    The trend towards exploiting natural resources caused by urbanization and increasing population has recently started to attract significant attention. In particular, it is the 'Blue Growth' concept, a subject not previously considered in the field of planning, for which the European Union has started to develop holistic and sustainable policies. In traditional planning studies, the terrestrial and coastal areas are considered as a whole and the marine areas are excluded from the planning. The seas, however, cover a large part of the city and its habitats. In marine areas such as the terrestrial areas; The regions that need to be protected, the species that need to be protected, the regions that are formed according to the diversity of the areas of use, and the regions that need to be used by the sectoral diversity. In this study, people from different institutions and organizations involved with marine areas were interviewed by using qualitative data collection method. The study aims to raise awareness about marine areas, to give information about the European approach in dealing with marine areas and to show that the seas should be considered together with land and coastal planning in Turkey. Therefore, in this study, we investigated how the sea areas are used, which laws and regulations are applied to the seas, which sectors and which stakeholders are involved with the sea. Then, maritime areas were examined on the Izmir peninsula in the framework of marine tourism and aquaculture and fishing. As a result of this study, we hope to increase awareness about the marine areas to be included in the field of planning and we will suggest our ideas about the holistic planning approach. This study will provide guidance on the marine environment and legal regulations for future studies.

    Evaluating the Impact of Urban Policies for Disabled in Izmir
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Şahin, Kardelen Ekin; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
    In the world, more than 1 billion people are experiencing disability every day, and the phenomenon of disability has been increasingly discussed each passing day. That the individual mutually interacts with the built environment and society, moreover, that physical and behavioral barriers from outside are concrete and abstract barriers that limit the individual's activities are important approaches that have been discussed for a long time. What is described here is that what creates the situation of 'being restricted' or 'disability' is the restrictive environment, society's negative and wrong attitudes. Although there are many regulations, studies and initiatives on disability and accessibility approaches in our country, it is seen that there are insufficient holistic studies, which are proceeded to remove physical and behavioral barriers and make investments in the social sphere. In this study, it was aimed to analyze the process of innovative policy making and implementation, which deals with the concept of disability both physically and socially, from a holistic perspective. In line with this aim, the 'Accessible Izmir Project' of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality was examined as a case that handles the disability phenomenon in the light of the socio-politic model and sees accessibility as a physical and social phenomenon. This project is an initiative that aims to ensure accessibility, to support initiatives in the social field, making studies to ensure the participation of the disabled in public and social life, and to create a more livable and inclusive city in doing so. In accordance with this purpose, within the scope of this project, studies are being made to get rid of both physical and attitudinal barriers. While adopting incentive approaches to provide accessibility, efforts are being made to break down perceptions and approaches, which are negative, incomplete and wrong, against people with disabilities. In this study, through the semi-structured interviews with the main actors of this project, the dimensions of this sample, disability, and approaches to accessibility are examined.

    Urban Tomography and Digital Humanities in Visual Tradition of Urban Design
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Yılmaz, Almira; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
    Since the 1960s, the information obtaining methods used in urban design studies in the visual-perceptual dimension have been improved and renewed with the developing technology and internet facilities in the world of the 2000s, however the urban design techniques have lagged behind this. In the studies carried out until the 1990s, only hand drawings, observations, one-to-one interviews and questionnaires were used as a data gathering method, technology and digitalism were not used. Where technology is not used in urban studies, traditional methods requires large data processing as time and effort in large-scale areas therefore data gathering methods has to change. In this study, the theoretical aspects of the methods used in the visual-perceptual tradition are discussed with the examination of especially the works of Kevin Lynch, Donald Appleyard and Gordon Cullen, who use traditional methods. Since social media and digital multimedia tools are frequently used in today's societies, every movement related to the city is available in a digital environment. It is explained that with ‘Digital Humanities’ a digital library approach that has been used in today's technology; we can have a more practical, more up-to-date and developing information network. Taking into consideration the active use of social media in today's world, considering the major trends such as big data analysis, internet of things, visualization tools -photographs, video records- and social media platforms, we can discuss the urban design of the city and its places and we will be able to obtain information about the city from millions of different perspectives. In this study, what urban designer can use the information technology and visualization methods in the accelerating new technological age and what are these methods theoretically adds to the field questions are discussed.

    Low Carbon Neighborhood: Walking and Cycling Priority Urban Design
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Gündel, Hande; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
    Following The Industrial Revolution, along with newly developing job opportunities, a rapid migration from rural to urban has begun. With the increasing flow of migration, the urban enlarged. With the increase of the distance in access, wide motorways and railways started to be built up on these areas. Along with major freeways, throughout 20th Century, the natural environment began to be destroyed and fragmented, resulting in urban sprawl and environmental pollution. Traces of the reclaim of the streets from car dominance were examined and the steps leading to a low carbon living were investigated. As a result, five principles were developed upon this living mode. These principles were scrutinized at the neighborhood scale. Having strong social bond in itself, the neighborhood scale is appropriate for implementing these principles. In the study, single case studies suitable for various low carbon living concepts were examined. According to the method, the theoretical structure of the study was evaluated, then applied projects were examined, and thus an awareness questionnaire on "low carbon living" was applied with cyclists representing low carbon transportation. This study of "low carbon living awareness" is the first academic study in Turkish case. According to the survey results, cyclists’ awareness of low carbon living is promising. In particular, awareness of low carbon transportation is high. İzmir has potential in terms of low carbon living. In general, there is a certain awareness degree and walking and cycling priority urban design. All of this forms the basis for the formation of low carbon neighborhoods.

    An Investigation of Public Spaces in Izmir From a Place Management Perspective
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) İnanç, Eray Mustafa; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
    In this study, the development of place management, its constituent elements and the management of various public places in the case of İzmir have been investigated. Place management incorporates the effects of place making and place governance. By conducting literature reviews, place management was divided into the sub-topics of place development, place quality and place branding. In the scope of study, three international projects were examined regarding the aforementioned sub-topics, including the Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz, New York High Line and Bryant Park. Additionally, in local context, semi-structured interview were conducted with the place managers of three sites in Izmir, all having different management schemes (Balçova Telpher, The Elevator Tower in Karataş and Sasalı Natural Life Park). Suitable infrastructure, a growth-supporting legal climate and the usage of technology are three essential factors for the development of an area. However, place development is also linked directly to the development of high quality places. Besides social and environmental factors, local administrations have to give an opportunity to such development. With good design and development of an area inevitably comes the branding of such a place. To this extent, it is critical to answer the question of how a public place can be successfully managed starting from the design phase. Not only initial costs, but also running costs need to be taken into consideration during this design phase, during implementation and monitoring. Therefore, by applying good place management, it is possible to ensure both internal continuity and the sustainability of its successes.

    Interrogating Time, Space and Place Within Technological Approach
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2011) Çevikayak, Murat; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
    Technology was and is the most powerful tool, humankind used to develop civilizations and improve the quality of their environment and life. Beside this fact, humankind comprehends and creates solutions in their physical surroundings like buildings, vehicles and clothes. This process of creation relies upon certain factors as necessities, search of variation and evolution. As technology evolved when covering necessities and demands, the relationship between physical environment and humankind has changed respectively like bridges or space shuttles. Since information age began with emerging computer technology, this change in relationship has peaked to a different level where physical environment is slightly replaced with virtual interactions through computers and other various devices. Here, in cities where technology has distinctive marks on, this effect can be tracked through citizens " everyday life and from the use of urban spaces. The alternating interaction routine of people from physical environment to space-free virtual space has resulted with lacks in using urban space that are the communication spaces of the city. The aim of this study is to paraphrase the evolution of this transformation from literature and designate potential trails to approach this problem by exploring global practices.

    Spontaneously-Developed Inner City Technology Precincts: Case of Izmir
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2010) Vuruşkan, Gülnur; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
    At 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.
