This paper aims to explore public participation for activating underground built heritage (UBH). It describes and analyses practices of stakeholders’ engagement in different UBH assets, based on experiences gathered in the scope of the European COST Action ‘Underground4value’. It brings together five inspiring cases from Italy, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, in which digital and mobile technologies were used as tools to improve community experiences in UBH. Thus, the paper discusses ‘smartness’ from the perspective of people and communities around cultural assets, where ‘smartness’ becomes a new connotation and a pathway to advance (local) knowledge and know-how. Therefore, this paper takes on the challenge to define a smart city as an ecosystem for people’s empowerment and participation, and, in particular, to explore social tools for creating new values in heritage placemaking—where sharing knowledge becomes a fundamental principle.

Bu araştırma, kentlerde sürdürülebilir topluluk gelişiminin önemini vurgulamayı amaçlamaktadır. Sürdürülebilir topluluk, neredeyse bir yüzyıldan beri tartışılagelen ancak 1980’lerle birlikte kent planlama kuram ve pratiğinin içinde ‘sürdürülebilir gelişme’ bağlamında gündemimize tekrar giren bir kavramdır. Uluslararası deneyim ve yazınla karşılaştırıldığında, Türkiye’de bu kavram oldukça yenidir. Türkiye’de sürdürülebilir topluluk gelişimi üzerine oldukça az araştırma bulu...

Demirkan, Doğa Çağdaş; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Koz, Alper; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2017)
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the potential of Sentinel-2 satellite for land use and land cover mapping. The commonly known supervised classification algorithms, support vector machines (SVMs) and maximum likelihood classification, are adopted for investigation along with a hierarchical classification model CORINE. The main classes for land cover and mapping are selected as water, vegetation, built-up and bare-land in the first level, which is followed by inland water, marine water, forest/meadow...

Kepoğlu, Volkan Osman; Keskinok, Hüseyin Çağatay; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2003)
This thesis attempts to show the contribution of Geographic Information System to urban planning process in Turkey. GIS can enhance the planning system by providing an access to accurate, reliable and update geographical information, producing alternatives according to the scenario and ensuring participation in the evaluation of the alternatives. This is the high level contribution of GIS for the enhancement of planning. The contribution can occur; if certain conditions are sustained such as establishment o...
A Proposal for a method of cultural landscape character assessment: a research on the context, method and results for the cappadocia landscape,Turkey
Tuna Yüncü, Zeynep; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2015)
As a case-based study, the research aims to propose a method to characterise the distinctive, historic dimension of today's urban and rural environment in Cappadocia (Turkey). Its methodology is based on the current practice and the approaches to landscape assessment, protection and management. The method also draws on well-established principles of the Historic Landscape Character Assessment (HLC) methodology first developed and used in Cornwall (UK) – but the characterisation approach have been tested and...
