    İzmir Institute of Technology Sustainability Report 2023
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023)
    The IZTECH Sustainable Green Campus Coordinatorship was founded in 2014. A search conference for a sustainable living campus with the tagline “happy campus” was held with the campus actors’ collective participation. However, it was not until December 2019 that a Framework on Sustainable Campus was defined. IZTECH has decided to apply the UI GreenMetric for critical self-evaluation and development in the field of sustainability in 2020 and continued to do so in 2021 and 2022 as well. With the motto of “happy campus, happy peninsula, happy Izmir,” the IZTECH Sustainable Green Campus Coordination group was formed. It consists of 12 academics including our rector, our academicians who are expert in the field and young and enthusiastic teaching assistants. Most importantly, our Coordinatorship continues today thanks to the support of eco motion and numerous other student communities. As a result, we are able to assure the sustainability of our campus through bottom-up development.

    İzmir Institute of Technology Sustainability Report 2022
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022)
    İzmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) aims at creating a sustainable and resilient campus environment that outreaches the boundaries of the campus in order to serve the in-campus and out-campus communities alike. In line with this main aim, IZTECH has initiated application to the Greenmetric World University Ranking that was developed by Universitas Indonesia. Therefore, IZTECH has undertaken a gap analysis in terms of its sustainability performance by determining the current situation and the future targets. There were 6 main topics to investigate and eventually improve: Setting and Infrastructure, Energy and Climate, Waste, Water, Transportation, Education and Research. October 2022 marks IZTECH’s third year of application to the Greenmetric Ranking. • In its first year IZTECH was ranked 217th out of 912 institutions. • In its second year, IZTECH was ranked 198th out of 956. In order to determine the scopes to develop and improve from each ranking IZTECH endeavors to create a sustainable campus environment. With a motto of “happy campus, happy peninsula, happy Izmir”, the IZTECH Sustainable Green working group was set up – consisting of 35 volunteering academics, employers, researchers, assistants as well as 15 students from the Eco-motion Student initiative - for a sustainable future.

    Dovecotes in Kayabağ Village: an Assessment of Landscape and Architectural Characteristics
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020) İnceköse, Ülkü
    The dovecotes of Kayseri-Gesi stand out as unique examples of indigenous architecture of Anatolia. They are considered significant elements of the rural landscape. The purpose of the construction, the constructional and spatial characteristics peculiar to these dovecotes, make them an important element of global cultural and architectural heritage. Dovecotes that are built upon rocks, with mere building stones provided from the same rocks, look like a shaped form of the topography itself. This is very much to do with the geological features of the Cappadocia Region where Kayseri is located. In terms of construction techniques and spatial organization, the dramatic differences in the dovecotes’ underground and aboveground parts make them even more outstanding. This research is based on the field studies conducted in the dovecotes of Kayabağ. The landscape was studied in all aspects and each dovecote is studied for its placement, topographical interactions, plan and section typologies, materiality and construction techniques. The structural problems stemmed from the geological features and the deterioration caused by external factors are taken into consideration. The study concludes with an overall approach for preservation, sustainability and conservation process of the heritage landscape of Dovecotes [Güvercinlik] of Kayabağ.
