A New Framework for a Resilience-Based Disaster Risk Management
(Springer International Publishing, 2021) Galderisi, A.; Altay-Kaya, D.; 54723
This chapter aims at providing hints to improve existing frameworks for disaster risk management based on a review of the main documents framing disaster management within the last two and a half decades and with reference to the potential contribution of resilience thinking. The evolution path of disaster risk management shows that, although some progresses have been made, there are still numerous gaps to be filled. On the opposite, focusing on the increasing convergence of resilience and disaster studies, it emerges that a resilience-based approach could still provide significant theoretical and operational inputs towards an improved disaster risk management. In particular, this chapter emphasizes the potential contribution of resilience thinking in developing a new framework for guiding disaster risk management capable of (1) taking into consideration the rapidly changing risk landscapes due to the interplay between climate change and the consequent increase of hazardous events, urbanization patterns and the complex interrelationships among them; (2) shifting from sectoral approaches to disaster risk reduction (DRR) towards integrated approaches and cross-sectoral strategies and tools; (3) embracing transformational perspectives to significantly reduce disaster losses and achieve sustainability goals; (4) improving learning capacity through the setting up of continual learning processes; (5) emphasizing the role of spatial and land use planning for DRR; and (6) developing more innovative governance models based on collaboration, shared responsibility and active engagement of the stakeholders. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.

A New Route for Regional Planning in Turkey: Recent Developments
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Ozdemir, Suna S.; 25219
Since 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 newpolicies, 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.
An Interdisciplinary Project: Controlled Urban Growth and Tourism Development Master Plan Study for Ajloun, Ain Janna and Anjara, Amman, Jordan
(Cankaya University Press, 2018) Tunçer, Mehmet; 127698; Şehir ve Bölge Planlama
In this paper, World Bank Project prepared by different professional disciplines (City and Regional Planning, Architect, Landscape Architecture, Tourism, Infrastructure and Agriculture Experts, Economist etc.) between 2003-2005 "Controlled Urban Growth and Tourism Development Master Plan Study for Ajloun Tourism Development Area" planning and projecting studies, strategies and approaches will be summarized. In Jordan, Ajloun Castle, 73 km north of the capital Amman and three settlements around it (Ajloun, Ain-Jenna, Anjara) were declared as "Tourism Area." These areas planned as "Natural and Cultural Environmental Protection" with World Bank loan. The planned residential areas are one of the oldest parts of Jordan. The basic components of planning work are "Controlled Urban Development" and "Eco-tourism Master Plan." Scenarios are developed to establish the "Sustainable Tourism" and "Conservation" balances and to prioritize the infrastructure of the settlements, pedestrianization and the restoration of various natural and historical values.

Building A Framework For Analyzing Quality Of Life At Neighbourhood Level: An Empirical Case From Ankara
(Penerbit Univ Sains Malaysia, 2020) Orhan, Ezgi; Orhan, Ezgi; Kahraman, Z. Ezgi; Gungordu, Nazda; 34038; 50343; Şehir ve Bölge Planlama
This article aims to analyse the indicators of quality of life (QoL) in a regeneration area in line with the subjective evaluations of neighbourhood residents. To this end, a total of 359 respondents were selected by random sampling in the Akpinar neighbourhood, Ankara, Turkey which was inhabited by squatter settlements and subjected to urban regeneration resulting in a substantial change in its physical, social, spatial and demographic structure. The neighbourhood was challenged by a landslide after the urban regeneration which affected the satisfaction levels of residents and constituted a contradiction for regeneration efforts. It is hypothesised that the QoL of neighbourhood residents is affected by the factors of quality of the built environment, public spaces, social environment, natural environment, services and facilities and safety. The findings indicate that neighbourhood level QoL is positively associated with the width of streets, adequacy of parking lots, adequacy of cultural facilities, adequacy of sewage and drainage systems, discreetness of inhabitants and peace and calmness in the neighbourhood. The present research contributes to the development of a more comprehensive schema for regeneration practices by considering both objective and subjective indicators and by revealing the importance of the public space's influence on the QoL for urban residents.

Decoding the impact of covid-19 on everyday life practices of Syrian refugees: an investigation at the neighbourhood level
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi Haliloglu; 50343
This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at the neighbourhood level on the everyday life practices of Syrian refugees and the potential reasons for virus transmission in their settlements. It is based on fieldwork in an ethnic enclave of Ankara, which revealed comparative insights into everyday life practices of Syrians before and after the outbreak, their perceptions, reactions and strategies towards the pandemic and its countermeasures. Their religious beliefs, socio-cultural structure, social networks and economic struggles have significant effects on their perceptions and practices in pandemic times; together with their living and working conditions, this may create risks of virus transmission. The degradation in their employment status, interruptions in donations and increase in expenditures resulted in decreases in living standards. The outbreak, negatively influencing their use of public services and some parts of social life created new inequalities and stressors but empowered their social support system and virtual networking capacities.

Disaster management of hotels: empirical results from the lodging industry
(Routledge, 2022) Orhan, E.; Orhan, Ezgi; 34038; Şehir ve Bölge Planlama
Among other business types, hotels serving as temporary accommodation for visitors with solid ties to local conditions present unique hazard-prone characteristics, and show vulnerabilities based on their location. Departing from the significance of the topic for the Turkish case, this paper focuses on the risk perception and responsiveness of the lodging industry. In doing so, an empirical study was carried out in Ankara city. Data from 75 hotels were gathered via a questionnaire designed to identify their locational attributes and operationalized by multiple logistic regression analysis. Although hotels in the sample accepted that safety is a significant issue for both the continuity of their operationality and guests, hotels were reluctant in developing systematic and effective tools for disaster management. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
Eco-industrial Parks and Sustainability: A Case of Green Organized Industrial Zone from Turkey
(Cankaya University Press, 2018) Özdemir, Suna Senem
The concept of sustainable development has been on the agenda since the 1980s. In industrial development, industrial ecology ideas realized the sustainable development goals with Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs). Drivers and beneficence of EIPs are on competitiveness, economic and social and environmental terms. This paper aims to contribute to the industrial ecology literature by explaining the case of Turkey in developing its EIPs. Notably, as a possible EIP example, İzmir Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone (IAOIZ) is the focus of the paper. IAOIZ shows a case working towards to become and EIPs, but there is still too much to do. At the national level, there is a need for a policy and may be legislation to turn the existing OIZs to EIPs.

Empowering the community through participation and action in historic neighbourhood conservation planning
(Keai Publishing Ltd, 2022) Ataov, Anli; Kahraman, Z. Ezgi Haliloglu; Osmay, Sevin
This paper presents an attempt to initiate community empowerment within the participatory neighbourhood upgrading context of the S,engul Hammam Neighbourhood (I_stiklal). We adopted the Participatory Action Research methodology, which aims to generate knowledge meaningful for the community towards upgrading and revitalizing the neighbourhood. Respectively, a series of workshops, focus groups, and community activities were implemented in parallel processes with different neighbourhood groups. In order to change the situation in the neighbourhood, the inquiry began by mobilizing neighbourhood stakeholders and planning the future with primary school children. Later, this gained the active support of parents, women, the municipality, local leaders, and civil associations, and led them to take collective action over garbage collection, cleaning up the neighbourhood and building a playground-park. The mayor at the time of the research showed interest in I_stiklal but did not or could not give any financial or political support to upgrade the physical setting as a whole. The lack of support from the municipality in that regard and the neighbourhood being left to its own destiny caused a gradual dilapidation and loss of historic and cultural values.

Ethnic Reflections of the Global Outbreak: A Multi-Dimensional Examination on Syrian Refugees and Settlements in the First Phase of the Coronavirus Outbreak
(Kare Publ, 2023) Kahraman, Zerrin Ezgi Haliloglu; 50343
This study aims to examine the effects of the coronavirus pan-demic on Syrian refugees at the neighbourhood level within the framework of perceptions, personal protection experiences, economic and social structure, and practices of neighbourhood usage. The major data source of this qualitative study included in-depth interviews with Syrian refugees living in Ulubey-Onder Neighbourhoods (Ankara). The findings displayed the effects of the pandemic on Syrians and their settlements, and a compari-son before and after the outbreak. The study demonstrated that the effective information sources of Syrians are composed of so-cial and communicational networks, and social media platforms. Their religious beliefs and social and economic needs both shape their perception on not being contaminated, and explain their reaction towards and resistance to respect the measures of the outbreak. Their lack of knowledge on available health services, attitudes of ignoring the use of face masks and social distanc-ing rules, family structures, and living and working conditions in-crease the risk of the spread of the virus. Although the crowded streets proved that human movement and commercial vitality in Syrian settlements continue as it was before the pandemic, the family incomes and standards of living diminished due to laid offs and limited access to donations of NGOs. This led to empowerment of solidarity networks and social relations in the area. Additionally, this study found out both gender differences in socialization opportunities, and negative effects of curfews and suspension of congregational praying activities on social life dur-ing pandemic times.

Evaluation of the Issues and Challenges in Turkey’s Urban Planning System
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Sari, O. Burcu Ozdemir; Ozdemir, Suna S.; Uzun, Nil
This concluding chapter focuses particularly on the period, which starts with the 2002 general elections, covering almost the last 15 years of the country. In this period, Turkish cities have experienced significant spatial and social transformations. This raises a number of issues and challenges for urban and regional planning in Turkey. The current urban and regional planning agenda worldwide covers dozens of topics. ForTurkey, three issues have become prominent: (i) actors (and institutions) other than planners (and planning) that have control capacity in the production and transformation of the built environment, and adverse effects of their actions on the integrity of urban plans and the control capacity of urban planning, (ii) the need to achieve resilient, safe, and sustainable urban environments, and (iii) consequences of population growth and the spatial expansion of cities as well as the problems stemming from the current efforts at urban transformation. Some cross-cutting issues and significant points among the chapters of the book are emphasised in this chapter. The Turkish case provides useful examples and fruitful discussions for international readers from developed and developing countries.

Factors affecting post-disaster location choices of businesses: an analysis of the 1999 earthquake
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Orhan, Ezgi; Orhan, Ezgi; 34038; Şehir ve Bölge Planlama
Despite global policies advocating risk reduction and community level recovery, post-disaster implementations usually focus on households, but fail to focus on businesses in spatial terms. Due to the lack of appropriate policy and tools, businesses often make their own location choices as part of their recovery strategy. In view of this, this study aims to establish the factors affecting the location choices of businesses challenged by disasters in the absence of any specific spatial strategies designed for them. In order to determine these factors, empirical research was conducted in Adapazari, Turkey on 232 firms selected as a result of a stratified random sampling procedure. According to the analysis of the results, the most notable impacts on business location choices after a disaster shock are associated with occupancy status, education level, and extent of damage. In line with these findings, the impacts of business location choices are discussed to highlight the role of businesses in spatial decisions.
Integrating Adaptation Strategies of Businesses with Community Resilience: A Case from Turkey
(2018) Orhan, Ezgi; 34038; Şehir ve Bölge Planlama
In developing countries bounded by traditional approaches of disaster management, post-disaster policies may not lead to resilience at aggregate level. Turkey exemplifies the case with its experience in the 1999 Izmit earthquake. The policies applied following the 1999 trajectory to create a safer built environment incorporated resettlement and reconstruction efforts, yet businesses were largely unregulated by local and national governments during the recovery process which leads to development of their own adaptive strategies to survive after the disaster. This paper aims to analyse the adaptation strategies of private enterprises in the face of disasters. In this respect, a case study research was undertaken in Adapazari, Turkey to inquire their adaptive strategies after the disaster with respect to the independent variables of business size and occupancy status. This paper contributes to the field of disaster studies by showing businesses’ adaptive capacities that enable them to survive following a disaster. The key findings of this study present that businesses adapt for survival after a natural disaster in accordance with their business size and occupancy status. Although small firms and lease-holder firms challenge with organizational and financial problems, they are able to develop locational strategies which increase their survival change and adaptability against their larger and owner occupied counterparts.

Integrating the Resilience Perspective into the Turkish Planning System: Issues and Challenges
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Kaya, Deniz Altay; 54723
Within the last decade, resilience has become both a major planning framework and a development goal for cities and regions facing a plethora of problems in different fields and at different scales. This chapter aims to identify the challenges that await governments when they integrate a resilience thinking framework into their planning systems. The chapter first provides a short explanation on the significance of resilience planning and then outlines a structural model for incorporating the social, economic, political, and institutional requirements in resilience thinking in city and regional planning. Next, the chapter provides a short analysis of the Turkish planning system to reveal its inherent problems and the issues that are likely to be most challenging in a shift towards resilience planning. Finally, based on the provided analyses, the chapter provides a critical discussion on the challenges in operationalizing resilience planning in the Turkish context. The findings reveal that there is a need for restructuring especially in Turkey's institutional and legislative framework to improve coordination and cooperation, to assure the use of scientific knowledge within the decision-making processes, and to actualize the praxes of participation and engaged governance.

Investigating Syrian Refugees’ Choice of Location in Urban Areas as a Subjective Process: A Cross-case Comparison in the Neighbourhoods of Önder (Ankara) and Yunusemre (İzmir)
(intellect Ltd, 2021) Gungordu, Feriha Nazda; Kahraman, Zerrin Ezgi; Kahraman, Zerrin Ezgi; 50343; Şehir ve Bölge Planlama
In migration literature, the growing interest in the localized and subjective forms of refugee emplacement in urban areas following the influx of Syrian refugees has brought along new debates on how to approach the location choices (LC) of refugees. Accordingly, in this study, we investigated the different dimensions of Syrian refugees' location choices at the urban/neighbourhood level. Specifically, we aimed to understand the dynamics behind the growing tendency among Syrian refugees in Turkey to settle in neighbourhoods that are close to inner-city industrial sites by conducting two case studies in the Onder neighbourhood of Ankara and the Yunusemre neighbourhood of Izmir in a comparative manner. From the twenty-three interviews conducted with Syrians, we uncovered the themes of LC and categorized them in accordance with the dimensions of LC addressed in the literature. We identified three main dimensions that affected Syrians' location choices at the neighbourhood level as: economic (the availability of job opportunities, public and commercial services, the affordability of accommodation), socio-cultural (the existence of co-ethnics, kinship/ethnic relations) and socio-spatial (proximity to the city centre, transportation, public and commercial services, workplaces). Here, we acknowledged the intertwined relation between these dimensions and refugee subjectivity in LC.
