Article A Housing Satisfaction Study in an Area of Urban Transformation: The Case of the Turk-is Apartment Blocks(Yıldız Technical Unıv, Fac Architecture, 2017) Kahraman, Zerrin Ezgi; Özdemir, Suna Senem; 50343; 25219This study investigated the housing satisfaction and the urban transformation expectations in the Turk-is Blocks, built by a labor cooperative in the Altinpark neighborhood of Altindag, Ankara. The area was declared "risky" in 2013. A survey and in-depth interviews were conducted to examine the satisfaction of residents with housing and their expectations of urban transformation. The results revealed that a large number of the respondents were satisfied with their houses and living environment. Satisfaction increased with duration of time living in the area and age. Over time, the homogenous and stable population in the area has reorganized their houses according to their needs and established a spatial, social, and emotional connection to their neighborhood. The strengths of the area include its neighborhood identity, close social relations, accessibility, and sufficiency of urban services and green areas. Areas of dissatisfaction included insufficient indoor installations, cultural/sports facilities, and security and parking lot problems. Most residents did not support urban transformation plans; however, those who do support the idea have high expectations of the process. With the condition of maintaining their current spatial rights, many perceived urban transformation as a solution to the problems of the area and indicated that their economic status has improved and that life has become more luxurious and comfortable.Book Part A New Route for Regional Planning in Turkey: Recent Developments(Springer, 2019) Özdemir, Suna Senem; 25219Since the 1930s, regional plans have been drawn up for various regions in Turkey. However, the institutional practice of regional development policy as well as regional planning began with the establishment of the State Planning Organisation in 1960. After the 1960s, through Five-Year National Development Plans, a regional development policy was defined, and regional development plans were formulated for some specific regions. In practice, there were some challenges and problems during that period in regional planning. The shift in the regional development policy and regional planning began in 1999 with Turkey’s accession period to the European Union. For adaptation to the EU’s regional policy, some new policies, legislation, and institutional set-ups were defined. This chapter mainly focuses on these new policies and instruments, namely the new route taken by regional planning in Turkey.
