A significantly large stock of housing has been realised In Turkey during the past five decades, building the cities almost entirely anew. This has shifted the central concern from production, design and ownership issues in the housing sector to that of housing management. The major problem in housing for the coming decades is not how to maintain the growth of the stock further, but how to efficiently use and improve the existing assets. Currently, no central or local authority is responsible for the management, running or control at any scale, but only the residents and property owners responsibilities exist at the individual plot scale. There is evidence of greater efficiency however, for the need of housing management at supra-plot scales. The hypothesis of the study in this context is that no part of the stock is without problems in terms of management. This is empirically investigated by two complementary analyses based on two distinct surveys. The first analysis demonstrated that the role of tenure and income on expenditures on housing, especially expenditures for repairs and maintenance are dominant. A three-fold difference is observed between tenants and owner-occupiers, and 10 times between households of highest and lowest incomes. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance is 1.9 times greater in the apartment stock and 1.2 times more in the ءgecekondu̕ dwellings than in individual ءhouses̕. Lowest levels of expenditures are observed in oldest part of the stock, in less developed neighbourhoods, and in stock with lowest rental values. According to the results of the second analysis, organisational tendencies of household groups varying in their characteristics are not sharply differentiated as in their expenditures. One most significant factor is tenure. Tenants are observed to have a weaker sense of dedication and identity in the dwellings they occupy and in

Mass housing, relocation, and mothers' and children's residential satisfaction: Evidence from Ankara Severcan, Yücel Can (2019-12-01) From its inception in 2003, the Turkish Housing Development Administration’s (TOKI) mass housing developments have rapidly expanded throughout the nation, affecting human-environment interactions. A recent government report announced that currently in Turkey there are approximately 740.000 mass housing units. By 2023 this number is projected to increase to 1.2 million. Despite these trends, little is known about children’s and women’s satisfaction with mass housing. This study investigates the effects of re...
Housing production under less-regulated market conditions in Turkey Türel, Ali; KOÇ, HÜLYA (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-03-01) In recent years, the numbers of annual housing starts in Turkey have greatly exceeded the increases in the number of households. Such high levels of housing output occur under less-regulated and highly competitive market conditions, and when conventional housing policies associated with a welfare state are not introduced. In addition, the decentralized planning system and the potential for profit through housing investments when compared to most other sectors appear to have been instrumental in the high lev...
Residential transformation leading to gentrification : cases from İstanbul Uzun, Cemile Nil (Palgrave Macmillan, Cham, 2020-04-01) Many cities in Turkey are facing the problems of a “transforming” city instead of a “growing” city since the 1980s. Planners and policy-makers are dealing with the impact of changes in residential areas. In Istanbul, gentrification has been a significant type of transformation since the late 1980s, leading to notable residential divisions based on socioeconomic status. Urban redevelopment projects, on the other hand, have been important tools for controlling the transformation of residential areas, especial...
Securing future of social housing: learning from an alternative regeneration/ gyldenrisparken in Denmark Bican, Nezih Burak; Cengizkan, Ali; Mortensen, Peder Duelund; Department of Architecture (2016) There has been a vast quantity of mass-housing production by the central housing authority in Turkey in the recent years. Operated in line with neo-liberal economy-policies since the beginning of 2000s, the public production has concentrated on speed of construction, quantity of dwelling units, and developing financial resource for ‘social housing’ provision by building luxury housing in profitable urban lands. However, this provision has faced criticism of various academic and non-academic circles, primari...
1980 Sonrasında Konut Üretimindeki Gelişmeler Türel, Ali (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 1989) Bu yazıda Türkiye'deki konut üretiminde 1980 sonrasında görülen nitel ve gelişmeler inceleniyor. Ekonominin 1970'li yılların ilk yarısında girdiği krizin ve 1978 yandan itibaren uygulamaya konulan önlemler paketlerinin konut sektörü üzerinde büyük etkileri olmuştur. Konut sektörünün bu süreçteki davranışları çeşitli aşamalarda farklılıklar göstermiştir. 1980 yılma kadar giderek artan konut arz ve talebi, 1980 yılında yürürlüğe giren istikrar programlarının ardından hızla daralmıştır. Derin bir krize giren k...
