Using user-centered design approach in course design
(2010) Haliloğlu Kahraman, Zerrin Ezgi; 50343
User-centered design approach is a contemporary design approach which actively involves users at every stage of the design process for the development of more effective, efficient and safe products. This paper is based on a case study that attempts to adapt this approach into course design in order to increase the effectiveness of teaching, and the learnability and success of university students. The paper discusses the phases of the designing process including analysis of student needs, limitations and expectancies in the teaching process, designing teaching activities, and assessment of students about courses designed with respect to user-centered design approach.

The Evaluation of Different Processes of Spatial Development from a Resilience Perspective in Istanbul
(Springer, 2012) Eraydın, Ayda; Türel, Ali; Altay Kaya, Deniz; 10396
There are increasing concerns related to the neoliberalisation of social, economic and political processes, which are pushing the recently introduced spatial policies and new policy instruments in more market-oriented directions, to the detriment of the built environment. In many cities of the world, owing to the complex dynamics associated with the increasing global and local pressures, urban change takes different forms, with important implications on the resilience of cities. Istanbul is one of the best examples of this, where the different types of urban dynamics that can be experienced simultaneously are being illustrated. This makes Istanbul a good study area for defining how the policies and plans adopted to meet the increasing needs and demands can affect a city’s resilience.
Student participation in Bologna Process: a case study from Turkey
(FAC Teacher Education, 2012) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi; Sakarya, A. Orçun; 50343; 19342
Bologna Process studies in Çankaya University’s Interior Architecture Department (INAR), Turkey have been initiated in 2008. The goal of this study is to explore students’ perceptions about the new programme outcomes framed with the Turkish Higher Education Qualifications Framework and to provide a set of guidelines for the Bologna Process to be implemented. A questionnaire including semi-structured questions is conducted in the data collection process. Content analysis method is used in order to examine students’ perceptual outcomes. The findings of the study display that students’ perceptions underline the importance of the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competences in social, economic and managerial dimensions of the professional life. Results also reveal the need of students for the acquisition and use of communicative, collaborative and interdisciplinary aspects of the profession and their expectations on both theoretical and practical contents of INAR courses. Furthermore, this study which mainly followed a student-cantered approach concluded that it is also possible to generalize new programme outcomes through the active participation of students.
Dimensions of housing satisfaction: a case study based on perceptions of rural migrants living in Dikmen
(2013) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi; 50343
Housing satisfaction is a complex concept that attracts researchers from various disciplines such as economics, sociology and planning. The studies in the literature show that housing satisfaction refers to more than physical satisfaction from the dwelling (e.g. Fried and Gleicher, 1961; Duncan, 1971; Kasarda and Janowtz, 1974; Galster and Hesser, 1981; Lu, 1999; Burby and Rohe, 1990; Kamp et al., 2003; Parkes et al., 2002; Kelekci and Berköz, 2006; and Erdoğan et al., 2007). It includes satisfaction from environmental setting, quality and aesthetic aspects (e.g. Varaday, 1983; Enosh et al., 1984; Cook; 1988; Burby and Rohe, 1990; and Kamp et al., 2003), satisfaction from the economic value of housing (e.g. Varady and Carroza, 2000; and Boyle and Kiel, 2001), community satisfaction (e.g. Kasarda and Janowtz, 1974; Galster and Hesser, 1981; Parkes et al., 2002; and Erdoğan et al., 2007), and satisfaction from urban services in the housing environment (e.g. Onibokun, 1974; Campbell et al., 1976; Fried, 1982; Türkoğlu, 1997; and Kelekci and Berköz, 2006). Although these dimensions shape the overall housing satisfaction, its definition is a subjective and contextdependent phenomenon (Campbell et al., 1976; Bardo and Hughey, 1984; Wiesenfeld, 1992; Lu 1999). It depends on the current conditions, needs and characteristics of inhabitants. With the help of this understanding, this study intends to reveal the content of housing satisfaction for a specific group. This paper aims to explore dimensions of housing satisfaction from the perceptions of rural migrants. This exploratory research was designed as a case study in the Dikmen district which is one of the oldest rural migrant settlements in Ankara. Currently, in the district, rural migrants who convey both rural and urban characteristics live in both squatter housing neighborhoods and former squatter housing neighborhoods transformed through improvement plans and urban transformation projects (Kahraman, 2008). This study investigates the perceptions of rural migrants livingin physically different neighborhoods of the Dikmen district in order to demonstrate the diversities when defining housing satisfaction within the same district. By this way, in defining housing satisfaction, it uncovers the differences and similarities in perceptions of rural migrants living in squatter houses, and apartment buildings built in improvement plans and urban transformation projects. This paper contributes to the existing literature in two ways. Firstly, it enriches housing literature theoretically. It extends the meaning and dimensions of housing satisfaction by exposing housing satisfaction perceptions of rural migrants. Secondly, the study has the potential to contribute to the literature practically. Uncovering factors affecting the housing satisfaction of inhabitants takes a critical role in increasing the quality of housing layout and environment, and quality of life. Therefore, the results of this study may assist architects, city planners, and housing authorities in designing and constructing more qualified, sensitive and livable housing settings with reference to the needs and expectations of rural migrants. This paper includes four major parts. The first part reviews the literature on housing satisfaction presenting various indicators and dimensions of housing satisfaction. The second part summarizes the changing features and lifestyles of rural migrants in relation to the history of squatter housing transformation. The third part of this paper discusses the case study applied in a squatter housing neighborhood, and former squatter housing neighborhoods transformed through improvement plans and an urban transformation project located in the Dikmen district in Ankara; including the contextual setting of the study area, the data collection and data analysis processes, and the findings of the analytical procedures. The last part presents the summary and discusses the findings and contributions of the study in relation to the existing literature.
Günümüz Kentsel Politikalarının Sosyo-Mekânsal Etkilerinin Değerlendirilmesinde Sosyal Dayanıklılık Çerçevesi: Kavramsal Bir Tartışma
(2013) Altay Kaya, Deniz; 54723
Dayanıklılık/ Esneyebilirlik çerçevesi yardımı ile küreselleşme etkisinde günümüz kentlerinde gerçekleşen değişimlerin (ve dönüşümlerin) sosyo-mekansal etkileri sorunsalı, küreselleşme ve neo-liberal politikalar etkisinde yaşama ve çalışma koşullarında gerçekleşen değişimlere farklı sosyal grupların dayanabilme ve kendini yenileyerek ayak uydurabilme sorunsalı olarak yeniden tanımlanabilir. Bu çerçevede dayanıklılığı yüksek olan sosyal grupların süreçten daha az etkileneceği, daha az olumsuz etki yaşayacağı, zaman zaman olumlu dönüşüm yaşayabilecekleri öne sürülmektedir. Bu bildirinin amacı öncelikle son zamanda sıkça kullanılmaya başlayan kentsel ve sosyal dayanıklılık kavramlarına dair kapsamlı ve güncel bir tanım getirmektir. Bildiri, daha sonra sosyal dayanıklılığı hangi unsurların belirleyebileceği ve hangi göstergeler ile ölçüldüğünü akademik yazındaki farklı görgül çalışmalara dayanarak örneklemeyi hedeflemektedir. Son olarak eleştirel bir yaklaşım ile sosyal dayanıklılık çerçevesinin içerebileceği sorunlar ve kentsel çalışmalara katkıları da bildiri kapsamında değerlendirilecektir.

Local responses to urban redevelopment projects: The case of Beyoglu, Istanbul
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2016) Yetişkul, Emine; Kayasu, Serap; Özdemir, Suna Yaşar
Urban redevelopment projects became the primary mechanisms of neoliberal urban policies in Istanbul. By analyzing the urban redevelopment projects of Beyoglu and the responsive practices of local actors, this paper highlights the role of community organizations in resisting and challenging the state's urban planning policies. A collaboration among local citizens, civil society institutions, and community organizations of the case study area formed the Beyoglu Neighborhood Associations Platform and searched for opportunities to reproduce neoliberal priorities and policies.

Reflection of Political Restructuring on Urban Symbols: The Case of Presidential Palace in Ankara, Turkey
(Taylor&Francis LTD, 2016) Orhan, Ezgi; 34038
Ankara, capital of Turkey has been the revolution space of the country after the proclamation of republic in 1923. The city has carried out the urban symbols of the republican ideology and modernity vision created by the nationalist administrators and elites. The newly established state used architecture and urban planning in transmitting the ideals of national unity and sovereignty by breaking off its ties from Ottoman heritage. After the span of eighty years, Turkey has experienced a new political hegemony. Post-2000s' political approach changed the urban symbols of early Republican period and redesigned the capital in line with its ideological basis. One of the most concrete transformations is observed in the presidential palace of the country which conveys the political intents of each period through its spatial and architectural organizations. This study, therefore, aims to put forward the change in urban symbols and their meanings by focusing on the presidential palace. The palaces are investigated in observational domains; their spatial configurations, buildings, and symbols in relation to the political intents on urban areas and public realm. This paper concludes that in both periods presidential palaces with respect to their spatial and architectural designs are regarded as the icons in representing the dominant political power; the former used it as an instrument of national sovereignty whereas the latter used it as a mark of dominancy over the nation.
Investigating the "Ruins of Modernity" of the city: The case of Stone Ateliers, Denizli
(Kare Publication, 2016) Orhan, Ezgi; 34038
The city planning and architecture had been used as the instruments of the young regime in making itself visible, concrete, and symbolized. The buildings and urban plans transmitting the foundation ideals of Republic together with modernity have contributed to the creation of national sovereignty and a modern society. Divergence from the planning and architectural approach to that period and becoming the target of the political structure of particularly post 2000s caused the formation of a new expression in space. Yusuf Batur Vocational High School's Stone Ateliers have been one of the places enabling to read the process; it was symbolized with early Republican Period, left in time, and finally intended to be deleted from the social memory by collapsing. This paper focuses on the transformation process of Denizli Stone Ateliers to the ruins of modernity by investigating its symbolic meaning and spatial structure.
Reading Vulnerabilities Through Urban Planning History: An Earthquake-Prone City, Adapazarı Case From Turkey
(Middle East Technical University, 2016) Orhan, Ezgi; 34038
Agglomeration of urban population, inadequate institutional capacity, unplanned urbanization, dense built environment, and industrial concentration are considered as the main causes of urban vulnerabilities against encountered disturbances. Planning decisions which regulate these factors are expected to make contribution to safer urban and social contexts and resilience of cities. However, in developing countries such as Turkey where disaster management is not an integrated part of urban planning process, planning decisions may serve for the construction of vulnerabilities. This study reads urban vulnerabilities with respect to urban structuring led by planning decisions. In doing so, an earthquake-prone city, Adapazari was selected to investigate urban vulnerability according to different planning periods and disaster history. The outcome of this study is that planning decisions disregarding urban risks may not contribute to the creation of a safer spatial and social context with respect to disaster mitigation, rather serve to reproduction of urban vulnerabilities.
Urban spatial structuring following disasters: empirical findings from location choices of businesses in Adapazari, Turkey
(Taylor&Francis INC, 2016) Orhan, Ezgi; 34038
This study argues that ignorance of businesses in disaster management systems from the point of spatial policies leads to deviations from initial recovery goals aiming to create a safer urban environment. Therefore, the paper examines the location choices of businesses in a disaster-stricken case from Turkey through an empirical research conducted after the 1999 Earthquake. In doing so, data were gathered from 232 firms in Adapazari city via a questionnaire to inquire about their location choices before and after the disaster and the reasons behind their strategy. Findings suggest that recovery goals at community level cannot be achieved without referring to the spatial decisions of businesses in hazard-prone areas. With regard to the findings of the study, policy recommendations are developed to guide post-disaster practises from a space-sensitive perspective by focusing on businesses.

Urban Conservation Policies and Plans for a World Heritage Site Case: Antique Pergamon City and its Multi-Layered Cultural Landscape
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2017) Tunçer, Mehmet; 127698
Izmir's Pergamon (Bergama) Antique City and Its Multi-Layered Cultural Landscape entered the UNESCO World Heritage List with the participation of 21 countries in the 38th World Heritage Committee Meeting held in Doha, Qatar's capital in between 15 - 25 June 2014. Bergama became the 999th WORLD HERITAGE. Bergama, which has been in operation since 2010, has entered the list as a Multi-layered Cultural Landscape Area. The main purpose of this paper will explain and summarize of urban and archaeological conservation efforts for Pergamon since 1992 to 2014. In the paper also aimed to give the conservation policies of public administrations which mainly central /Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Ministry of Environment/ and local /Bergama Municipality, Gen. Directorate of Vakiflar. Turkey is one of the 10 original member states to establish UNESCO. 9 cities in Turkey are included in the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites. Further, 23 sites have been nominated and are included in the tentative list. The activities aimed to include the district of Bergama in the UNESCO World Heritage List are ongoing in the years 2009-2014. All the efforts have been made carry this unique antique city to the UNESCO Heritage List at 2014. As an Urban Conservation Planner, I had a change of preparing the FIRST Conservation Aimed Plans and urban designs for Urban and Archaeological Sites of Pergamon together with my team, in the years between 1992-94. We prepared conservation aimed plans for all of the areas of Acropolis, Middle City and Ottoman period urban conservation areas. Urban and archaeological sites of Pergamon the ancient city today, which is over two thousand years old, where scientists, archaeologists, architects, art historians, urban planners, sculptors and similar arts and culture, men talk about admiration, write about and write praises, face to face some deterioration and destruction. As a conservation planner working on Pergamon since 1992, I' will concentrate the following results and conclusions; 1. Urban and Archaeological Sites in Turkey are generally in danger of destruction because of lack of public awareness and lack of sufficient monetary funds and administrative organisations. 2. In the Case Pergamon; this problem mentioned above are already defeated by the local and central governmental bodies. Unfortunately this success costs time and money, as well as more losess in the urban and archaeological areas. Especially loss in old Ottoman Houses and open archaeological sites. 3. The Paper will be aim to handle the governmental policies about the conservation, the inefficiencies in planning and approval of conservation aimed plans.
Quality of Life in Regeneration Areas: Empirical Findings from the Akpinar Neighbourhood, Ankara, Turkey
(Kare Publication, 2017) Orhan, Ezgi; Zerrin Ezgi, Kahraman; 34038; 50343
The article is a discussion of the concept of quality of life in a regeneration area based on the personal evaluation of residents. Developed by social scientists to evaluate people's well-being, satisfaction, and happiness, the concept of quality of life raises the issue of adapting the conditions of living spaces to meet people's needs, expectations, and demands. The aim of this study was to establish an integrated and comprehensive framework for evaluating the quality of life in a regeneration case in Turkey through empirical research conducted at the neighborhood level. Data were collected from 359 households in the regenerated neighborhood of Akpinar, in the city of Ankara, using a questionnaire to inquire about the quality of life. The methodological framework of the study included a theory-based choice of indicators identified in a comprehensive literature review, including economic, ecological, physical, and social aspects of an urban environment, and an analysis of the relationship of the indicators to quality of life. Despite the diverse literature on urban environmental quality, there is no uniform, generally accepted conceptual framework to measure quality of life. Therefore, in this research, a mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis was adopted to assess the quality of life of the residents with respect to their housing and urban environment. The findings suggested that modern quality of life requires understanding the social, political, spatial conditions, and needs of residents. Based on the findings of the study, policy recommendations were developed to enhance quality of life at the neighborhood level from a space-sensitive perspective.
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; 25219
This 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.
Spatial and temporal modeling of parcel-level land dynamics
(Elsevier Science LTD, 2017) Tepe, Emre; Guldmann, Jean-Michel
Neighborhood and historical conditions are important factors in land dynamics. However, models that explicitly incorporate spatial and temporal dependencies face challenges in data availability, methodology and computation. In this research, parcel-level dynamics are investigated using the geocoded Auditor's tax database for Delaware County, Ohio, including 73,560 parcels over the period 1990-2012. A binary spatio-temporal autologistic model (STARM), incorporating space and time and their interactions, is used to investigate parcel-level dynamics. The results show that the model is able capture the impacts of contemporaneous and historical neighborhood conditions around parcels, as well as the effects of other variables such as distances to various facilities and infrastructures, agricultural and residential land-use shares within a half mile radius circle, and population density and growth expectation at the census tract level.
