Master Thesis Sustainable Management of Water Resources on Campus: the Case of Izmir Institute of Technology(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2011) Ulusoy, Pelin; Saygın, Nicel; Saygın, NicelThe concept of sustainability plays an essential role in university campus development. This study specifically focuses on sustainable water resources management among extensive sustainable campus principles. Water is a non-renewable asset for our increasingly arid geography due to reasons such as global warming. The sustainable management of water resources includes capture and reclamation of rainwater/stormwater, treatment of wastewater, protection and enhancement of groundwater quality, protection and rehabilitation of natural water bodies (creeks, streams, rivers, lakes and others) and efficient landscapes. Green infrastructure techniques prevent runoff problems due to conventional drainage such as flood and water quality degradation; and provide natural drainage and infiltration, improve water quality, prevent floods and enhance ground water. In thisstudy rainwater/stormwater is treated as a non-renewable resource instead of wastewater. This water resource can be captured and reused for different purposes such as irrigation, groundwater recharge, green corridors and landscape amenity by integration of rainwater/stormwater features into the site in an aesthetically pleasing way. Additionally, use of green infrastructure techniques reduces the consumption of clean water. This study develops strategies for use of green infrastructure techniques and recommendations to guide the implementation of these strategies. As a case study, recommendation of green infrastructure techniques with efficient landscape for entire Izmir Institute of Technology (IYTE) Campus located in Gülbahce-Urla (Izmir) has been developed.Master Thesis Integration of Archaeological Sites Into Planning Process: the Case of Iskele (urla)(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Erincik, Sedef; Saygın, NicelThe archaeological sites in the cities have been undergoing reconstruction activities after the Second World War. It has been emphasized that the archaeological sites that have emerged in many cities are important cultural heritage. Various studies have been carried out to integrate these areas into planning processes. Cities in Turkey, it has seen continuously inhabited since the early stages. Although the integration of archaeological sites in cities into the planning processes has been on the agenda since the 1990's in our country, current policies and strategies do not allow these areas to be integrated into the planning processes. Integrating the archaeological sites in the cities into the planning process will preserve the multi-layered structure of historical cities and prevent the destruction of archaeological remains during investments in these areas. In the study, it is discussed how to integrate archaeological sites in cities into the planning process, and in order to do that, firstly, the international and national legal frameworks which include the archaeological sites in the cities are evaluated. Afterwards, the successful examples in Europe are examined and what these examples can add to archaeological sites in historical cities in Turkey and Iskele (Urla) have been discussed. As a case study, the significance and the planning process of the archaeological sites in Iskele (Urla) have been examined. A survey was conducted with the people living around the archaeological sites and in-depth interviews with the excavation directors who carried out excavation work in the archaeological sites. According to the results of the survey, it was concluded that the inhabitants of the archaeological sites were also affected by the inability to integrate these areas into planning processes. As a result of all this, recommendations have been developed to ensure that the archaeological sites in historical cities in Turkey and particularly in Iskele (Urla) are integrated into planning processes.Doctoral Thesis Application of Exergy Analysis Method To Energy Efficient Building Block Design(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2014) Mert, Yelda; Saygın, Nicel; Saygın, NicelThis dissertation introduces the exergy analysis method into urban planning field in order to find out the amount of energy that can be conserved in a building block when energy efficient design is applied. Two hypotheses are developed here: 1. Exergy analysis is a suitable tool for the built environment, and 2. Energy efficient design parameters provide energy saving in the built environment. A case study approach is undertaken in order to test the hypotheses stated above. To do this, first, the energy efficient design parameters have been derived from the literature and design alternatives are developed accordingly; second, data has been gathered from the case area for the exergy calculations; third, exergy analysis of existing building blocks and proposed design alternatives are carried out, and finally, the amount of decrease in the exergy loss due to energy efficient design is found out. The findings in this study show that the exergy efficiency of the existing building blocks is nearly 2 %, while the proposed design alternatives are nearly 10-11 %. The overall exergy loads of the alternative plans are found as 166.3W, 225.1W, 142.5W, 137.8W and 184.8W respectively for winter and 105.4W, 140.0W, 89.9W, 86.3W and 125.3W respectively for summer on a housing unit basis. These results are much better when compared to the existing situation per housing unit which is 1079W (winter) and 1173W (summer). The best alternative energy efficient planning and design brings 1631 W (winter) and 2810W (summer) of exergy saving that corresponds to 799 TL/year and 978 kg/year reduction in CO2 greenhouse gases emission per housing unit. This data shows that the expected results and are in harmony with the literature. As a result, the suitability and importance of the exergy analysis on the built environment is proved by revealing the energy conservation and sustainable use of energy through using energy efficient design parameters.Master Thesis Measures To Prevent Possible Risks of Cultural Tourism on Loss of Place Identity in Historic Settlements: Case of Saburhane District, Muğla(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Polat, Fulya; Saygın, Nicel; Saygın, NicelThe cultural heritage conservation approach evolved from preservation of monumental structures, to preservation of historic fabric and living within existing texture. In case of conservation-oriented practices in historic settlements proposed functions for settlements to continue to live are generally tourism-oriented. When tourism-oriented implementations are examined, it is seen that the life in historic texture has been gentrified. In this context, this thesis discusses the relationship between cultural tourism and loss of place identity through Saburhane district in Muğla city center. A survey was conducted with the inhabitants of the district to understand the identity of the Saburhane and interviews were conducted with the authorized persons to understand the viewpoints of Muğla Metropolitan Municipality and Menteşe Municipality on the conservation of historic texture and existing lifestyle in the district. The Saburhane Street Rehabilitation Project has been examined in terms of the method and process followed. The surveys showed that Saburhane has continued to be alive for a long time, the residents of the neighborhood has been observed to be highly attached on the settlement. However, the most important problems identified are the uncared physical texture, the inability of the inhabitants to maintain their buildings due to low income levels and the physical condition of the buildings getting worse to live. Despite the participatory approach being followed in the Saburhane Street Rehabilitation Project, cultural tourism demands of the Municipalities requires preventions within new proposals to be developed in order to minimize the risk of loss of place identity.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Exergy Analysis of Mass Housing Areas: Mavişehir I and Ii, Izmir(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2015) Mert, Yelda; Saygın, NicelIn this study, in terms of urban design, an exergy analysis of Mavişehir mass housing area in Izmir, Turkey is carried out based on spatial properties, shadow effects, wind effects and local climate to understand the importance of design strategies. The exergy analysis is applied with broad consideration covering the heat loads of the separate buildings for winter and summer. When the exergy results of Mavişehir I and Mavişehir II are compared it is found that Mavişehir II has less exergy by fuel and exergy load values. This may result from different design strategies in Mavişehir I where the same buildings and villas between residential buildings are located according to sea view, whereas in Mavişehir II, there is a heterogeneous pattern with various forms and heights of the residential buildings. It was also discovered that exergy efficiency of the area is 4.20% and the exergy flexibility factor is 19.3%.Master Thesis Integration of Inherited Water Management Systems With Contemporary Nature-Based Solutions: the Case of Bodrum, Turkey(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Çömez, Fatma Öykü; Saygın, NicelWater, as an indispensable source of life, is considered as a scarce resource due to excessive consumption, pollution, climate change, and poor management practices. As water scarcity is being felt more and more every day around the world, innovative and creative solutions have gained an emergency for cities. Instead of conventional solutions, city managements are searching for sensitive solutions to nature and local. Turkey is already facing the problems of water scarcity due to its semi-arid climate susceptive to climate change; however, the conventional approach dominates water management. Bodrum is chosen as the case study area because it has its own water collection methods used for centuries by local population and have been emerged as a cultural heritage. The aim of the thesis is to propose environmentally sensitive and effective solutions to the water scarcity of the peninsula by combining the local water heritage methods and contemporary nature-based water supply techniques. In the study, water management methods of different historical cities are examined. Later, the current water problems and different management techniques from around the world are discussed. Additionally, approaches of countries are discussed to understand concepts and implementations. In the case study, the water problems and management history of the Bodrum Peninsula are investigated. The current situation analyses and a survey are conducted. With the obtained data, a guide which presents integrated strategies to combine the local water heritage methods and innovative nature-based techniques have been developed for the Bodrum Peninsula.Master Thesis Critical Review Of City Branding: Case Study Of Hacı Memiş District (alaçatı, Turkey)(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Erdoğan, Cansu; Saygın, NicelThis thesis examines the city branding process with a critical view in the case of Hacı Memiş District in Alaçatı, İzmir. In this context, the study is aimed to criticize city branding approach as an internationally research domain characterized by a multidisciplinary research. Actually, it investigates and analyzes the controversial issues of city branding. The case study of thesis, Alaçatı that has been defined as a recent phenomenon of city branding in Turkey from 2000s, is a historical settlement in İzmir Peninsula. Within the scope of the study, the surveys and in-depth interviews with groups of business owners, locals, visitors and pioneers in Alaçatı provided the study data to reveal the dynamics and direction of the transformation. The study also focuses on the context and background of the settlement, chronological processing of historical developments, social, demographic and economic structure, land uses, plans in different scales, projects and planning decisions, to show implications of city branding on the place and target groups, especially, the locals. The aim of this study is to assess the branding story of Alaçatı in detail for disclosing a spatial, social, economic and quality of life implications on the locals. Research findings indicates that, the branding process of Alaçatı has brought about a radical transformation in Alaçatı. These impacts have caused varied tendencies, particularly, "gentrification" and in parallel with the gentrification in cities, "displacement" tookplace in Alaçatı.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Energy Efficient Building Block Design: an Exergy Perspective(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Mert, Yelda; Saygın, NicelThis study introduces the exergy analysis method into the field of urban planning, in order to find out the amount of energy that can be conserved in a building block when an energy efficient construction design is applied. This was done in four steps. First, energy efficient design parameters were derived from the literature and design alternatives were developed accordingly. Second, data was gathered from the case area for the exergy calculations. Third, exergy analysis of existing building blocks and proposed design alternatives were separately carried out. Finally, the amount of decrease in the exergy loss due to suggested energy efficient design was found out. The results show that the exergy efficiency of the existing building blocks is about 2%, while the proposed design alternatives will be around 10-11%. The overall exergy loads of the alternative plans were found as 166.3 W, 225.1 W, 142.5 W and 137.8 W respectively for winter and 105.4 W, 140.0 W, 89.9 W and 86.3 W respectively for summer, on a housing unit basis. As a result, the suitability and importance of the exergy analysis on the built environment was proven, by revealing actual and considerable energy conservation and sustainable use of energy through application of energy efficient design parameters.Master Thesis Assessment of the role of streams in formation of urban identity through cultural landscape matrix: meles stream (Izmir, Turkey)(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2024) Kıran, Fatma; Saygın, NicelSu yolları, şehirlerin tarihi, kültürel, ekonomik ve çevresel yapılarında önemli roller üstlenmiş, kentsel kimliklerin oluşumunda ve gelişiminde hayati bir unsur olarak öne çıkmıştır. Tarih boyunca, su yolları erken dönem yerleşimlerin can damarı olmuş, şehirlerin gelişimini ve kültürel kimliğini şekillendirmiştir. Örneğin, Londra'nın Thames Nehri, Paris'in Seine Nehri ve Kahire'nin Nil Nehri etrafında büyümesi gibi birçok şehir, su yollarının sunduğu yaşam kaynaklarıyla gelişmiştir. Kültürel anlamda, su yolları toplumlar için sembolik değerler taşımış, birçok toplumda dini ve manevi bir öneme sahip olmuştur. Venedik'in kanalları, şehrin kimliğinin ikonları olarak sanat ve edebiyatla bütünleşmiştir. Hinduizm'de kutsal kabul edilen Ganj Nehri, saflığı ve ruhaniyeti simgeler. Ekonomik açıdan, su yolları ticaret ve endüstrinin temel direği olmuş, şehirlerin ekonomik büyümesine katkıda bulunmuştur. Rotterdam ve Hamburg gibi şehirler, nehir limanları sayesinde büyük ticaret merkezleri haline gelmiştir. Endüstrileşme döneminde ise su yolları fabrikaların kurulmasını ve şehirlerin büyümesini desteklemiştir. Kentsel gelişim ve mimari üzerinde de su yollarının büyük etkisi vardır. Su yolları, şehir planlaması ve mimariyi şekillendirerek şehirlere özgün karakterler kazandırmıştır. Örneğin, Amsterdam'ın ünlü kanalları, şehrin mimarisine ve kimliğine damgasını vurmuştur. Rekreasyon ve çevresel önem açısından, su yolları şehir sakinlerine dinlenme ve eğlence alanları sunarak yaşam kalitesini artırmış, aynı zamanda çevre koruma çalışmalarının odak noktası olmuştur. Londra'daki Thames Nehri'ni temizleme çalışmaları ve Chicago Nehri'nin restorasyonu gibi projeler, şehir ekolojisini iyileştirme yönünde önemli adımlar atmıştır. Bu bağlamda, su yolları şehirlerin çok yönlü gelişiminde ve kimlik oluşumunda vazgeçilmez bir rol oynamıştır. Tez kapsamında İzmir'in önemli su yollarından biri olan Meles Deresi ele alınmıştır. İzmir'in tarihi boyunca, antik Smyrna döneminden itibaren Meles Deresi, şehrin sembollerinden biri olarak öne çıkmıştır. Bu su yolu, İzmir'in gelişiminde, kültüründe ve sosyal yaşamında birçok önemli rol üstlenmiştir. Ancak, su yollarının kentsel kimlik üzerindeki etkisini yalnızca Meles Deresi'nin su akışı üzerinden değerlendirmek, bu su yolunun şehrin çeşitli rollerini tam olarak anlamamıza engel olabilir. Bu nedenle, Meles Deresi, Kültürel Peyzaj Matrisi kullanılarak incelenmiş ve bu yaklaşım, su yolunun kentsel kimlik üzerindeki çok yönlü etkilerini daha kapsamlı bir şekilde ortaya koymuştur. Bu tezin amacı, Meles Deresi Kültürel Peyzaj Matrisi kullanarak kapsamlı bir şekilde değerlendirmektir. Bu değerlendirme üç ana kategoriye ayrılmaktadır: M (Maddi) kodlar, I (Manevi) kodlar ve L (Bağlantılar) kodlar. M (Maddi) kodlar, fiziksel ve maddi unsurlara atıfta bulunur; su kemerleri, köprüler ve su değirmenleri gibi yapıları ve altyapıyı içerir. I (Manevi) kodlar, manevi ve kültürel değerleri içerir; Meles Deresi'nin mitolojik ve dini önemi, halk anlatıları ve törenleri ifade eder. L (Bağlantılar) kodları ise Meles Deresi'nin çevresindeki sanayi bölgeleri, limanlar ve şehrin diğer su yollarıyla olan etkileşimleri gibi çevresiyle olan bağlantılarını ve ilişkilerini ele alır. Bu kapsamlı yaklaşım, Meles Deresi'nin kentsel kimlik üzerindeki çok yönlü etkilerinin ayrıntılı bir analizini sağlar. Tezin amacı, su yollarının kentsel yaşamda sahip olduğu çeşitli rolleri ve önemini değerlendirmek ve şehirleşme nedeniyle kaybolmuş veya unutulmuş su yollarının restore edilmesinin önemine dikkat çekmektir.Master Thesis The Morphological and the Urban Characteristics of the Monumental Building Complexes in Ottoman Capitals(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2004) İşcanlı, Sinecan; Saygın, NicelThis thesis deals with the analysis of a very important feature of the Ottoman cities, which is the Ottoman Monumental Complex. The concept of the monumental complex is defined as the core of social life in an Ottoman city. The typical Ottoman city has the most dominant features that make the historians specify it in a specific classification, but not among other classifications. Within time it has formed its characteristic features as a result of many different influences such as religion, geographical location, the conquests and the inheritances from the previous cultures. This makes the features of the Ottoman city unique but at the same time resembling the features of other cultures.In most of the previous studies, the Ottoman monumental complex is examined in terms of its architectural features. However it is seen that the concept has a deeper meaning when it is examined in terms of urban design and the social structure of the city. It has the significance of being shaped in accordance with Ottoman urban design pattern, has the responsibility of having a monumental value and having an important social task as a result of including a complex of different functions within itself. The study defines Ottoman Monumental complexes in Bursa and Edirne by means of their morphological criteria, origins, location, programs, and also by means of spatial and visual characteristics.
