    Groundwater in Local Development Strategies: Case of Izmir
    (IWA Publishing, 2018) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Yazdani, Hamidreza; Baba, Alper
    This study takes into account groundwater in local development strategies of Izmir, in which rapid and uneven development has occurred in recent decades. Therefore, resilience thinking is needed in the future development of the city-region. To this end, the paper aims to make an analysis of recently completed asset-based local development strategies for Izmir city towards water resiliency. The methodology has two main steps. Firstly, by using spatial interaction analysis of peninsula and river basins, potential vulnerabilities and risks are indicated. Secondly, a stratified model of strategy evaluation is conducted by scrutinizing the existing layered approaches. Then, these models were applied to all strategic decisions including water resources and indicated a high level of consistency to achieve sustainable and resilient use of blue-green infrastructure in the future of Izmir’s metropolitan area. Local assets, including water resources, are the backbone of future development of the Izmir city-region. Therefore, usage of local assets in a multi-level perspective of strategy development needs to be understood. The stratified model denotes that special emphasis should be given to different river basins in different levels. This study illustrates that synergy management is needed between different layers of local development strategies, in which the role of urban and rural households is of the utmost importance.

    Participatory Planning Support System for Assessment of Spatial Conflicts in Izmir Peninsula
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2014) Yazdani, Hamidreza; Saygin, Mustafa Ömür
    Development strategies and their possible impacts over time as a consequences of proposed spatial development are one of the main concerns of planners in planning process. Understanding the impact of these changes on environment and balanced management to distribute resources are essential indicators for planning approach aiming to achieve the sustainable development. A precise, accurate and up-to-date data in addition to reliable spatial analysis are basic requirements of sustainable decision making. A Planning support system (PSS) is mainly based on collecting, monitoring, analyzing data and evaluating the impacts of alternative planning scenarios using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for contributing spatial decisions. This study offers an approach to evaluate possible conflicts between development strategies in an environmentally sensitive areas. The approach is based on a PSS which integrated collaboratively weighted scenarios and natural assets. The study identify a framework for Co-production of data, evaluation of model outcomes and ranking natural and regional assets in cooperation of interest groups by utilizing Delphi survey in a conflict model of Esri ArcGIS. This model reveals impact level of development strategies on environmentally sensitive area and geographically map the conflicts of these strategies on each other and nature. The outcomes of model assist decision makers to produce alternative approaches for sensitive areas where conflicts of different polices are inevitable. Additionally the model utilize public participation in both gathering data and evaluating spatial analysis. This lead to a more adoptable planning practice where planners reach to public knowledge about region and guaranty guaranty consensuses in spatial decision making.
