The Development of Western-Type Large-Scale Consumption Areas in Turkey and Legal and Structural Regulation Efforts in Urban Retail Environments
(Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, 2009) Kompil, Mert; Celik, Murat
The retail sector has been experiencing a rapid and continuous change worldwide. There have also been profound changes in Turkey, especially after the 1980s. Both the retail sector and the urban retail environments have been altered radically. One of the most significant indicators of this change is the proliferation of western-type large-scale retail developments. Past experiences in developed countries have shown that the uncontrolled development of large-scale retail areas results in some undesired socioeconomic and physical outcomes, such as decline in the cultural and commercial activities of city centers, damage in existing retail workforce structure, and change in local retail hierarchy, nearby land uses, traffic loads and original architectural identity. Many countries have put into practice restrictive and regulatory policies to prevent these negative effects. As similar transformations have also been realized in Turkish retail environments, many institutions think that similar legal regulations must be implemented in Turkey as well. The present study investigates the ongoing retail change within the Turkish context, explores the legal and structural regulatory policies of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, and critically discusses the appropriate retail regulation policies for Turkey.
Efficient Design of Nursing Unit Floors
(Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, 2009) Kazanasmaz, Z. Tugce; Duzgunes, Arda
Hospital designs aim to obtain the lowest possible construction, maintenance and operational costs together with patient satisfaction, comfort and privacy. To satisfy these needs, the efficient design of nursing unit areas becomes considerably important. This study was thus conducted to analyze planimetric design efficiency of nursing unit floors by defining certain floor areas and floor area ratios. To test existing nursing unit floors, quantitative assessments were noted in regard to their planimetric efficiency: the utility value of the built floor area, both in terms of its allocation to patient space (served), support (serving) and circulation space and the relative proportions of these. Results were presented in a comparative table. Of the 15 hospital floor plans analyzed, five satisfied minimum space requirements for patient areas, while another five were in the optimum range for circulation areas. Two were defined as the least efficient, having the lowest patient-to-circulation area ratio.
Documentation of a Vernacular House With Close-Range Digital Photogrammetry
(International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2007) Akbaylar, İpek; Turan, Mine
This study aims to present a combined documentation method that can be easily applied on the built vernacular heritage prior to establishment of appropriate conservation methodology and treatment strategy. It takes into consideration the vernacular house type of Alaçati, Izmir, Turkey and defines the appropriate techniques to be used in the conservation aimed analytic recording process. The prismatic house masses at human scale, with plain façade orders and orthogonal plan layouts at this settlement can be recorded fast and accurately with close-range digital photogrammetry. The concepts of mapping should be utilized for the representation of analtic data. Within this frame, a 19th century house located in the urban conservation site of Alaçati is to be presented as the case study. © 2007 International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.

Problematization of Assessment in the Architectural Design Education: First Year as a Case Study
(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Çıkış, Şeniz; Çil, Ela
This paper discusses the ways in which studio instructors assess students' design and performance during the basic design studios. Architecture requires a discipline-based education in which design studios have primary place in the curriculum. In design studio education the primary focus of assessment has always been the studio production (i.e. end products of the students). There is a common tendency to neglect students' experience and process of learning during assessments. Furthermore, assessment criteria of the studio instructors may not be explicitly stated.
