Tarancı, Kadir Anı; Severcan, Yücel Can; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2019)
In polarized or segregated cities, public amenities can not be accessible to everyone, especially to minorities and poor neighborhood residents. Urban public parks, unlike neighborhood parks, represent a significant public amenity as they provide sports and recreation opportunities for each community member. However, poor neighborhood residents are much deprived of such “low-cost resources” because of the limited mobility or lack of urban facilities. This thesis addresses this issue. In Turkey, unlike some ...
