Ankara’da sokakların yayalaştırılmasının Yüksel Caddesi, Karanfil Sokak ve Konur Sokak özelinde incelenmesi
(Bilkent University, 2025) Mumcuoğlu, Ege; Örnek, Mert; Çiftci, Durukan; Akın, Ayça; Ölmez, Ayşenaz
Bu proje, Ankara'nın başkent olduktan sonra geçirdiği şehirleşme süreçlerini ve bu bağlamda yayalaştırmanın Yüksel Caddesi, Karanfil Sokak ve Konur Sokak üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Cumhuriyetin modernleşme idealleri doğrultusunda, bu sokakların yayalaştırılması sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel boyutlarda önemli dönüşümler yaratmıştır. Proje, bu bölgelerin yayalaştırılma sürecinde yaşanan zorluklar ve elde edilen sonuçlar üzerine odaklanırken, kolektif bellek, sokak siyaseti ve sokak sanatı gibi temalar üzerinden bu süreçlerin toplumsal etkileşim ve kültürel miras üzerindeki etkilerini analiz etmektedir. Ayrıca, Erdal Kurttaş’ın liderliğinde gerçekleştirilen yayalaştırma projelerinin, bireylerin ortak alanlarda sosyalleşmesine, sanatsal üretimin artmasına ve sokak kültürünün korunmasına nasıl katkıda bulunduğu detaylı olarak ele alınmıştır. Sonuç olarak, yayalaştırmanın, şehir kimliğini güçlendiren ve toplumsal bilincin oluşmasını sağlayan bir süreç olduğu vurgulanmıştır.

Bina tahsis planlarından 3-boyutlu şehir modellerinin üretilmesi ve görüntülenmesi
(IEEE, 2006-04) Oǧuz, Oğuzcan; Aran, Medeni Erol; Yilmaz, Türker; Güdükbay, Uğur
This paper presents a method for the automatic generation of different building models to be used to populate virtual cities and a system of visualization of generated city models. The proposed method incorporates randomness but the derivation process could be steered by the help of derivation rules and assigned attributes. The derivation method is inspired by the shape grammars. During the derivation process, the floor plans of the actual cities are used to generate 3D city models. Given the city plans, the derivation rules and definitions of some basic nesnects, the system generates 3D building models and the generated city model could be visualized. © 2006 IEEE.

A socio-spatial analysis of urban transformation at a neighborhood scale: the case of the relocation of Kadifekale inhabitants to TOKİ Uzundere in İzmir
(Pergamon Press, 2015) Demirli, M. E.; Ultav, Z. T.; Demirtaş-Milz, N.
Particularly in the last two decades, urban governors have presented urban transformation projects as ideal solutions to help low-income urban residents improve their living conditions. However, the way they have been carried out and their consequences mean that these projects do not, in most cases, bring the expected improvements. Most projects involve relocating residents to new, more peripheral districts of the city, which causes social isolation and certain socio-spatial incompatibilities between their previous and new habitats. Using a case from Izmir in Turkey, this study aims to analyze such socio-spatial incompatibilities in the lives of low-income residents that are caused by relocation within the framework of urban transformation projects. One of Izmir's earliest inner-city gecekondu neighborhoods, Kadifekale was chosen by Izmir Metropolitan Municipality as a site for urban transformation due to the risk of landslide in the area. Before the start of the project, the neighborhood contained 7324 housing units accommodating rural-to-urban migrants, mainly from the southeast of Turkey. This urban transformation project aimed to relocate at least some of the inhabitants from their homes in Kadifekale to recently constructed apartment blocks in the TOKI˙ Uzundere Public Housing Project on the periphery of the city. Although many residents were reluctant to exchange their houses for new apartments, some were persuaded to move to TOKI˙, which was presented as the ideal solution by the municipal officials. This study critically evaluates the Kadifekale urban transformation project, particularly with regard to the relocation of some Kadifekale residents from their one- or two-story houses in Kadifekale to apartment blocks on the periphery of the city. The analysis is based on a comparison between the socio-spatial experiences of migrants in Kadifekale and their recent experiences in Uzundere and the possibility of certain incompatibilities in these two experiences. The argument aims to demonstrate the changed conditions of social life and daily life practices as a result of altered spatial properties at a neighborhood scale: their use of outdoor spaces, the meanings they attributed to neighborhood space ("intimacy of place" within categories of sensual (visual and olfactory) recognition), and their sociospatial network. The argument draws both implicitly and explicitly on Henri Lefebvre's spatial triad and De Certeau's conceptualization of tactic versus strategy as the major conceptual inspirations for this study. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Understanding and predicting trends in urban freight transport
(IEEE, 2017-05-06) Mrazovic, P.; Eravci, Bahaeddin; Larriba-Pey, J. L.; Ferhatosmanoğlu, Hakan; Matskin, M.
Among different components of urban mobility, urban freight transport is usually considered as the least sustainable. Limited traffic infrastructures and increasing demands in dense urban regions lead to frequent delivery runs with smaller freight vehicles. This increases the traffic in urban areas and has negative impacts upon the quality of life in urban populations. Data driven optimizations are essential to better utilize existing urban transport infrastructures and to reduce the negative effects of freight deliveries for the cities. However, there is limited work and data driven research on urban delivery areas and freight transportation networks. In this paper, we collect and analyse data on urban freight deliveries and parking areas towards an optimized urban freight transportation system. Using a new check-in based mobile parking system for freight vehicles, we aim to understand and optimize freight distribution processes. We explore the relationship between areas' availability patterns and underlying traffic behaviour in order to understand the trends in urban freight transport. By applying the detected patterns we predict the availabilities of loading/unloading areas, and thus open up new possibilities for delivery route planning and better managing of freight transport infrastructures. © 2017 IEEE.

Urban development process of built environments in metropolitan areas in Turkey: case study of angora settlement, Ankara
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012) Balta, M. T.; Tekel, A; Tekel, H. T.
The built environments of metropolitan areas are rapidly changing in response to urban development dynamics. The nature of the urban built environment continues to be influenced by the conflicting interests and expectations of various entities involved in the process of development planning and implementation. The formulation and implementation of urban development plans in Turkey is guided by the statutory provisions of the country's planning system. This process has led to piecemeal implementation through partial plans and plan amendments in metropolitan areas. This article attempts to determine how the private sector in metropoles in Turkey shaped the built environment in Turkey after 1980. Influence of neo-liberal policies and a partial planning approach set by a free-market economy instead of a comprehensive planning approach shaped urban space. As a capital, the urban development of Ankara has mostly been shaped by partial planning approaches and implementations and uncontrolled developments, especially on the southwest axis of the city's metropolitan area. For this reason, one of the largest settlement of southwest Ankara is the Angora Settlement, which has been selected as the case study. Examining the entities who play a part in the urban development process is important to control its consequences. In this article, the case of Angora Settlement is used to question the planning process and entities in the development of urban built environments, and studies this settlement to identify and question which entities determine the components of the built environment in the urban development process. In particular, this paper captures the dominance of the structural interests of the private sector in shaping Angora's land use pattern, which is important because it reveals the uncontrolled growth dynamics in developing countries. © 2012 American Society of Civil Engineers.
