Yörgüç village is within the close neighbourhood of the Western Lignite Corporation Y-3 panel. Although the nearest part of the mine is 1100 m and the farthest part is 2500 m from the village at present, some of the villagers complained about the ground vibration at the past. Therefore the assessment of damage risk and, if any, control and minimization of vibrations constitutes the aim and the scope of this research work. The researh work consists of monitoring of vibration, characterising of the seismic waves by full wave form analysis, and determination of magnitude and frequency of the waves from round blasting practice. Also dominant frequencies are determined, using single-hole blasting records by special software. The analyses are continued by a critical discussion and evaluation, and, proposals for new firing methods are made. The proposed firing methods are validated by further monitoring. As a result the best blasting practice was selected and offered to control and minimize the ground vibration.

Blast optimization for the assessment of ground vibrations at Demirbilek panel of Tunçbilek mine Arseven, Burak; Bilgin, Hasan Aydın; Department of Mining Engineering (2003) Demirbilek village is located within the close neighbourhood of the Demirbilek open cast mine. The stripping operation at the mine is done by bench blasting. The blasting induced ground vibration already caused the structural damage in the buildings at the above mentioned village. Therefore, the control and minimization of ground vibrations constitutes the aim and the scope of this research work. The research work consisted of monitoring of vibration, characterising the seismic waves, determination of magni...
An Assessment of the planning and operational performance of the Bus Rapid Transit in Istanbul Yüce, Elif Can; Babalık, Ela; Department of City and Regional Planning (2013) In Turkey, the only city that currently operates BRT is İstanbul. There are researches that focus on different BRT systems in the world, yet there has not been a comprehensive, systematic and comparative evaluation of the BRT experience in İstanbul. There seems to be an urgent need to study this BRT investment, with a particular focus on planning, operation and ridership characteristics with a comparative approach. This thesis analyses the BRT corridor in İstanbul and answers the question whether Metrobüs i...
Women's sense of safety in high-rise mass housing estates: the case of Kusunlar Toki in Ankara, Turkey Temurer, Sena; Severcan, Yücel Can; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2022-9-2) Designing and building high-rise housing estates have been a worldwide phenomenon in recent years. A review of the literature shows that there are various advantages and disadvantages of living in such settings. Most of the discussions focus on the impact of these environments on the health and psychological wellbeing of residents. Less is known about how high-rise environments affect individuals’ use of public spaces related to their sense of safety, especially for women who live in high-rise mass housing ...
Evolving roles of public spaces in post industrial cities Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge (2010-07-11) From agora of the polis, and open market places of medieval cities to today’s shopping malls, corporate plazas, atria and festival places, public spaces have been one of the crucial components of cities for centuries. Despite their evident importance in cities, public spaces have become subject to broad concern over the last three decades, particularly under the influence of globalisation and privatisation policies, city-marketing and imaging programmes and urban regeneration projects that have led to a sig...
GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE NORTHWARD ARCHED SEGMENT OF THE NORTH ANATOLIAN TRANSFORM-FAULT ZONE DIRIK, K (Wiley; 1993-12-01) The study area is located in the southern part of the Central Pontides. The rocks exposed in this region have been divided into three major groups: basement, cover sequence and volcanic rocks. The basement rocks are composed of metamorphic units and a chaotic assemblage derived from an accretionary prism produced during the northward subduction of northern Neo-Tethys during the Late Cretaceous. During the same period, the basal element of the cover sequence, a thick and coarsening upward flysch succession (...
