Housing and living environment deprivation, although being a concept that cannot be agreed upon in its definition and measurement, is generally considered the accumulation of fundamental deficiencies in housing and the living environment. This thesis states that the housing supply in Turkey does not serve the needs of the households that diversify in terms of quality, therefore it is necessary to determine the deprivation levels of housing and living environment experienced by households in varying ways. Research and analyses to be carried out on a national scale regarding the existing housing and living environments are of great importance in determining households' needs and guiding central policies. This thesis aims to examine the levels of housing and living environment deprivation in Turkey based on tenure types, regions, dwelling types, household compositions and income groups, and to reveal the extent to which different dimensions of housing and living environment deprivation vary based on regions, using data of Turkish Statistical Institute, the Income and Living Conditions Survey dated 2020. Among the examined dimensions, the effect of the income factor is observed most prominently. Although the deprivation rate is found to be higher for the tenants, no significant difference is observed between the tenants and owner-occupiers. Families consisting of a lone parent and child are found to be more vulnerable in terms of housing and living environment conditions excluding overcrowding. It is presented that the prominent problem area throughout the country is the heating problem caused by the insulation of the house, while, a different problem area comes to the fore for each region in Turkey.

Housing affordability of different income groups in turkey: regional comparison Aksoy, Esma; Özdemir Sarı, Özgül Burcu; Department of City and Regional Planning (2017) Housing affordability has been a major topic of interest both for researchers and policy makers in many countries. However, in the Turkish case, research on housing affordability is scarce. The problem of housing has usually been considered as a quantitative deficiency problem in Turkey, and for many decades any other dimension of the problem is neglected. Increasing the housing stock in numbers has always been given priority by the Turkish governments. This tendency to support new housing production has co...
Financialization Of Housing And Mortgage Debt Repayment Strategies Of Households In Turkey Suvar Aslan, Ahmet (Middle East Technical University Faculty of Architecture, 2021-12-01) Housing is a complex phenomenon with social, economic and political dimensions. It is also an expensive fixed asset that can be used and consumed for centuries. Due to the considerable amount of capital required for the realization of housing projects, a mutually supportive relationship is established between the finance and the housing sectors. Mortgage loans are the major tools provided by financial institutions to households for acquisition of housing. On the other hand, mortgage loans usually constitute...
Housing Layout Reconsidered In Societal Context: A Case Study In Switzerland Lawrence, Roderick J. (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 1996-1-01) Housing units are material products of society that define and delimit domestic space for households. They provide shelter and protection for daily activities. The fact that housing units in the same society have quite different shapes and sizes, and that they are built with a range of construction materials suggests that, beyond pragmatic factors, others are of at least equal importance in determining their layout, construction, and meaning. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an understanding of those c...
Discursive and Spatial Anatomy Of Alternative Living Models: Architectural Utopias Within Housing Discourse Dülgeroğlu, Özüm; Basa, İnci; Department of Architecture (2022-2-3) The concept of housing, as more than just being a shelter, means a lot about lifestyle understanding of individuals and it is generally shaped through the social structure of society. However, social structure of the community continues to change in time, and therefore alternative living models come into existence. Architectural expressions and spatial demands of these new emerging socio cultural generations are also different, and conventional dwelling types cannot fulfill all habitants’ expectations. Thus...
