    An Evaluation on Planning Legislation Following the 1999 Earthquakes
    (Kare Publ, 2022) Orhan, Ezgi
    Following the 1999 Earthquakes stricken Marmara Region, as the most populated, urbanized and industrialized region of the country, large-scale recovery efforts have been initiated; and in addition to central and local administrations, many institutions and civil societies have become the part of these studies. However, in the face of the devastating effects of the 1999 Earthquakes, significant steps have been taken in legal framework due to its limitedness in guiding disaster policies. Besides, development of the risk management approach at the international level has triggered countries to review their policies and legal regulations shaping their disaster management. Based on this need, the study examines the legislation that shapes the disaster policies and guides spatial planning in our country and its change in the meantime. The legal regulations that have been added to the urban planning legislation in the last 20 years for the purpose of risk mitigation have been discussed. To this end, Article 73 of the "Municipality Law" (no. 5393), "Law on Conservation of Deteriorating Historic and Cultural Property through Renewal and Re-use" (no. 5366), "Law on the Transformation of Areas at Disaster Risk" (no. 6306), and Temporary Article 16 of Development Law (no. 3194) (Peace of Reconstruction) are determined as the main regulation shaping policies for reducing urban risks, and evaluated within the scope of the study. Therefore, this study puts forward the problems and criticisms regarding the implementation of legal arrangements established for the purpose of mitigating urban risks as well as recovery of the disaster-prone areas.

    Socio-Spatial Sensitivity Areas in Wind Energy Transition: the Case of Izmir
    (Kare Publ, 2021) Demir, Basak; Ataov, Anil
    Growing energy need is obvious considering the increasing population, industrial development, together with today's fossil fuel based living conditions. Within this framework renewable energy transition is inevitable in search for a long-term solution to this growing energy need. However, several public oppositions are encountered during such transition processes. This study focuses on the wind energy - an important source of renewable energy - in case of Izmir which is the leading city in Turkey in terms of number of wind farms as well as intensive public oppositions. Study reveals social sensitivity areas of wind energy production regarding natural environment and economic life (agriculture, animal husbandry), sensory (effect on visual integrity, noise), health (effect on human health), technological (magnetic field and turbine number) issues. The study reveals individual and collective perceptions about the sensitivity areas, on the other hand, there is an opinion that does not consider the expressed issues as a problem. The findings show the validity of social sensitivity, but also raise the possibility of making sensitivity assessment based on the thought that there is no such thing or what he heard from others. According to the findings of the study, increasing number of wind farms within the context of Izmir creates a "saturation" among the society about wind energy. In this respect, "minimum distance" criteria should be determined for the wind farm site selection to the areas where nature and human activities take place. "Cumulative effect" caused by the concentration of wind farms in a certain area should also be taken into consideration. Finally, public participation during these processes and being informed is urgent.

    Addressing Earthquake Risk and Climate Crisis Together in Spatial Planning
    (Kare Publ, 2021) Orhan, Ezgi; Peker, Ender
    Cities' vulnerability to natural and man-made threats are ever increasing. Cities are under the threat of both natural disasters such as earthquakes, avalanches and landslides; and climate-driven challenges such as excessive precipitation, heatwaves and droughts. This calls for a need of handling natural and human systems together for the future of cities. However, climate and earthquake action plans which naturally present a direct link to spatial planning, are often produced separately in the Turkish planning practice. This study advocates that strategies for combating earthquake and climatic challenges should be harmonized together within the spatial planning system, and respectively, aims at presenting a holistic planning approach. For this purpose, the study first examines the ways in which disaster and climate issues are addressed in the current laws and national action plans. Then, in line with the 'Regulation on the Preparation of Spatial Plans', it examines the spatial planning scales with an aim of determining the potential areas in which disaster and climate issues could be planned together. Taking this as a point of departure, the paper presents a set of planning strategies responding to earthquake risk and climate crisis at regional, city, neighbourhood and building scales. It discusses synergies and conflicts among these strategies at different scales. This study targets to develop a holistic perspective for earthquake and climate change induced disasters, for the decision-makers and practitioners operating in spatial planning processes.

    Investigating the "ruins of Modernity" of the City: the Case of Stone Ateliers, Denizli
    (Kare Publ, 2016) Orhan, Ezgi
    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.

    Cittaslow Movement From a Critical Point of View
    (Kare Publ, 2018) Can, Mehmet Cengiz; Ozmen, Ayca
    The Cittaslow Movement, shaped upon the idea of slowness, emerged as a reaction to the negative effects of globalization on small cities. It was founded in 1999 in Italy through initiatives implemented by the mayors of 4 small towns (Greve in Chianti, Orvieto, Positano, Bra) and the founder of Slow Food. This movement, which aims to increase the quality of life by preserving and sustaining the local values of settlements, was quickly embraced by more than 200 small cities and towns in 30 countries. However, Cittaslow is still relatively new and developing movement, and the long-term results are not yet fully known. Cittaslow provides practical guidelines for a more livable settlement, rather than relying on theoretical concerns. It emerged as a result of social reflection rather than scientific research. Therefore, concomitant problems may arise in the implementation process. Nevertheless, in the near future, the concept is expected to continue to grow socially and scientifically through the efforts of Cittaslow International to improve the movement and as a result of the increasing interest of researchers and local authorities. It is therefore important to understand and interpret the essence of the Cittaslow Movement properly at this time. The aim of this article was to provide a framework for the founding ideas and goals of the Cittaslow Movement and to describe its development and progress. The outcomes thus far were evaluated from a critical point of view in order to make new proposals. The goal of this research was to raise awareness of the Cittaslow Movement among all stakeholders, particularly local authorities and residents.
