    Place-Making: Examination of Practices in Turkey
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2015) Kuru, Ömür Damla; Saygın, Nicel
    Place-making is an approach which represents a comprehensive framework in building public places with a major concern of assigning functions in an ongoing process. The major point that place-making distinguishes from the former approaches is underlining the process of making instead of the certain product of design. This thesis is a descriptive study which aims to explain the making process of contemporary practice in Turkey. The perceptions of privacy and publicness concepts in Turkish Culture are different than they are in Western Culture. These two cultures are similarly affected by recent movements against top-down policies which lead commodification of commons. Pressures cause reactions such as Wall Street Occupation and Occupation of Tahrir Square. When we consider Turkey, we see that the place-making process is driven by NGOs and platforms that advocate right to the city similar to worldwide movements. In this thesis place-making process in Turkey is introduced with its traditional background and its contemporary break through. Three types of bottom-up movements are taken as cases that are selected from Istanbul, the primary city of Turkey and under a great pressure of construction. Gezi Park Occupation, Kuzguncuk Farm Reaction and Don Quixote House Occupation and Yeldeğirmeni Neighborhood Revitalization are analyzed through main components of making process; actors, processes and outcomes. It is remarked that place-making process draws a distinct identity rather than the traditional approach to public places and aims to protect commons by advocating right to the city in different social contexts that reflect the complexity of place-making process.

    The Development of Shopping Centers in Turkey: The Case of Denizli
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2010) Kuyumcu, Aysun; Saygın, Nicel
    In the last decade, even though the importance of shopping centers appear to decrease day by day, their place within the Turkish real estate market displays a considerable rise. Among those reasons underlying the increase of investments on shopping malls take place the stability of the economic environment, the insufficiency of supply within the market of shopping centers, the young and dynamic population, the increase on gross domestic product, and the high profit ratio compared to other countries. As an explanatory research, this study targets at evaluating the changes and development of shopping centers in history, identifying the characteristics of today's shopping centers, examining the location criteria of shopping centers, and focusing on the development of shopping centers from the world-wide scale to Turkey and Denizli. This study has dwelled upon the characteristics and classification of shopping centers in the world by ICSC and DeLisle and of those in Turkey by AMPD. Among the examined issues take place the adopted criteria in selection of location for shopping centers and the development process of Turkish shopping centers as based on quantitative information obtained. The development process of shopping centers in Turkey have been analyzed for the period between 1988-2009 and in addition to existing circumstances, future considerations have also been made. Examination of the development process of shopping centers in Denizli, on the other hand, has involved consideration of firstly the geographical and socio-economic status of the city, and then of the urban development profile as well as the traditional trade district. In the final stage of the examination, all shopping centers in Denizli have been chronologically analyzed in terms of their development processes, investors, relations with the urban pattern, physical characteristics, transportation facilities and accessibility. In result of the comparative evaluation, discussions focus mainly on the location of shopping centers and their harmony with the urban pattern as well as their future strategies against the threat of becoming identical with one another.

    Investigating the Efects of Nodes and Landmarks in City Plannig Practice
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2003) Böcekli, Burcu; Süel, Akın
    This thesis deals with the analysis of landmarks that are active elements in the formation of ordered urban spaces, in helping the creation of more qualified and identified cities and in increasing the quality of the living environment. It stresses why the landmarks are important for a city.s inhabitants and its visitors and aims to identify certain physical and social elements, which play role on the constitution of landmarks.Human beings and cities have strong interactions, relations and connections with each other. Man has some impressions and impacts from the city that he lives in or that he visited. These impressions are images that are collected from parts of cities. Visual urban elements play an important role on the formation of the impressions that he has. Social, economical and cultural facts are other active elements that effect human beings just like visual urban elements. The most important thing here is, all these experiments and impressions he has, are influenced from the urban environment and its visual elements.This study sees one of the functions of the planner as; lessening the effects of the unpleasant cities that we live in, with the positive effects of some urban elements like landmarks. Looking from this point of view, the first aim of this study is to examine the development and the usage of landmarks throughout history, the second is to define and classify landmarks and the third is to examine and discuss their use in the cities for the betterment of cities throughout history considering the planning principles.

    A Cad-Based Modeling for Dynamic Visualization of Urban Environments in Piecemeal (incremental) Growth
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2002) Alper, Sabri; Serim, Muharrem Erkal
    Visualization is inherent to the conduct of urban design as a direct connection between the designer and three dimensional reality of urban settlements. Visualization of urban environments and urban design projects is vital, since most designers prefer to understand place and context through visualization. The reasons for visualization in urban design can be classified under three headings: .visual thinking, design communication and testing mechanism. Digital revolution. has improved computer use in urban design, as in many other fields. Dynamic computer models can present an ideal environment to visualize the change in respect to time. Digital tools are much more efficient than conventional methods in explaining the growth and change of urban environments. Especially, incremental growth requires features not found in .static/analog. media. Christopher Alexander and his colleagues, in their book .A New Theory of Urban Design., tried to justify their ideas about piecemeal growth by an experiment. The analog methods, such as physical models, two-dimensional diagrams, have been used to conduct the experiment and to convey their ideas about the design process. This thesis tries to produce a .dynamic/digital. model that could be utilized in their experiment instead of static/analog methods. Spatial data should be considered as dynamic, or changing identities rather than as simple, static features. Time is an example of a dynamic component of a spatial data set. Recent technological developments are increasing computer hardware and software capabilities so that this dynamic aspect of data can be accounted for by today.s systems. Dynamic data have not been a great concern in digital technologies for many years, but today changing patterns and dimensions are becoming more important.
