Master Thesis Stairways as Spatial Elements in an Urban Environment(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2002) Taşke, Neşe; Gençel, Ziya; Gencel, ZiyaThis study is focused on determining the design criteria for creating livable and democratic stairways, which are a part of the public space, that would enhance social interactions by providing all day long safe and comfortable use by residents as well as passers-by through analysing the physical aspects in order to lay out the functional problems. Stairways, which at first were a symbol of power or were a path to gods, after the beginning of public life, sharing urban space, circulation, pedestrian movement, created paths that evolved through topographic obstacles to become connections between different levels that required new designs and arrangements.The intricate relation between stairways, street-life and urban social life leave the stairways neglected through the changes in public life where the streets filled with obstacles are becoming gateways to residences. On the other hand stairways in the past have always been urban spaces which housed social life with all its features by looking at evidence of works in literature, music and cinema through time. Street characteristics have an important role in the urban setting as they evolve with public life reflecting its social, cultural and economic status. Because of the above reasons outdoor spaces are to be designed considering the social, cultural properties, needs and requests of the residents. and passers-by.s keeping track of the harmony with the environment. The study, at this point, stresses that stairways, although cannot house all outdoor activities, are more than mere elements of between levels circulation elements due to their capacity of a bearing many functions. The necessity of considering the variety of behaviours, needs and requests of differing age and user groups when designing is another issue pointed out in this study. Although stairways have the advantage of being isolated from vehicle traffic they still pose problems to the handicapped and elderly. Inspite the unavailability of ramp implementation in some cases stairways are still the playground for kids.The case study area is Güzelyalı district in İzmir, which has a variety of stairways with different characteristics. The stairways in the area have been classified with reference to their functions in the past, and their evolved functions due to increase in population and wear in time. The current physical and social situation of these stairways have been analysed with observation, photographing, inquiries etc. These methods provided a stronger foundation for discriminating the needs and requirements of the users, by a participative approach, in order to put forward design methods that would create an environmental quality to reach these goals.The study states that stairways, in addition to being safe paths for necessary activities, should promote optional and social activities to take place on them. This can be obtained by designs that are motivating, exiting, implemented such that they are connected to other public spaces, enhance environmental quality with sensible use of design elements a outdoor furniture.Key words: urban space, public space, stairway, steps, pedestrian, stairway activities, access, social interaction, environment quality.Master Thesis The Regeneration of City Centers a Design Strategy for Alsancak District Izmir(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2001) Ergenekon, Timur; Gençel, ZiyaThe aim of this thesis is to understand urban regeneration issues, a new concept in Turkish planning literature, by means of investigating changes and transformation processes realized in urban centers and to propose a design strategy for a region of the Alsancak District, Izmir, from economical, social, cultural, technological as well as spatial points of view. Ever since the emergence of urban life, cities have been subjected to changes and transformations. Particularly in the last decades, the cities as increasingly becoming parts of the changing world system have been not only forced to exceed their boundaries by the effects of developments in information and communication technologies but also faced globalization phenomenon. Consequently, they have to attract national and international investments by means of regenerating their deteriorated and decayed sites in order to gain the p0sition of world cities in this competitive process. For this purpose, the city ofIzmir ought to have a place and gain a new vision for the future. Alsancak District was therefore considered as the most proper area of the city in order to realize this objectives. Because this area tends to lose its eCbnomicaland physical function due to the removing of the port, and then face to the spatial and functional transformations. Within this general frame, the subjects in the parts of the study were outlined as follows: In the introduction, the urban regeneration concept was defined and the problem, aims, methodology, and organization of the study were clarified. In the second chapter, dynamics, and process behind urban regeneration issues, which have been gained a growing importance in the recent years were then examined. In the third chapter, operational aspects of the subject were studied and the general framework of the urban regeneration issues was determined. In the fourth chapter, the city center concept and its transformation process were taken into account. Chapter 5 then included regeneration projects applied in the developed and developing countries. Chapter 6 evaluated the planning approaches and interventions, considering the urban problems, and potentials, and establishing relations with the urban regeneration issues. In the seventh chapter, a design and development strategy for the Alsancak District was proposed in the direction of gained experiences from the exemplified projects. In the conclusion, a general evaluation was made discussing the whole conceptual, pragmatic and legal aspects of the subjects with the general planning and development strategies and the proposal organizational principles of the case study.
