In literature on residential areas, the settlement pattern is analyzed starting from their first apperance. In the pre-industrial city was no specialization of land use, the urban layout was relatively irregular, the street markets, shops, workshops and homes being mixed together. However, after industrialization for cities there was a need for housing supply and these were mostly supplied by blocks around working areas. All of these settlements were not healthy and efficient. So with regulations and policies for better settlements more healty and secure places were planned for workers with the idea of modernism. Also modernism brought the pure geometry for building design. The colour and facade of the buildings were determined related to functions or structural rationalist ideas. This standart and simple blocks were critised by some. Like, Sitte’s (1889) eulogied historic spaces for their random and artistic city aesthetic. The sprawl of housing areas increased the need for accesibility and social integration to each other and main center. On the other hand, the residential quarters in their inner dynmics, the public realm, circulation, self character etc. must be defined for good working settlement and its environment. This resulted in traditional neighborhood properties for better residential settlements that new urbanist way of thought encouraged more ecology and pedestrian-oriented settlements. In Düzce after earthquake in 1999, important scale of housing necessity appeared and this need was supplied with mass housing projects in short time. In fact, 20% of the urban settlement is provided by these mass housing projects and the projects will go on. In fact, 40 % of the settlement is expected to be provided with mass housing projects. Master thesis attempts to clarify the design problems in mass housing areas in Düzce. The problems related to mass housing environment will be discussed, with reference to design concept, to explain whether or not these mass housing areas provide neighborhood standarts.

Continuity and change of the urban character of Sinop
Can Çetin, Burcu; Gökce, Fuat; Department of Architecture (2011)
This thesis attemps to examine the continuity and change in the physical character of Anatolian city which have crucial impacts on conservation of cultural values of town. From the mid-nineteenth century to the present time; decline of Ottoman Empire, establishment of Turkish Republic with new regime, wars in National Struggle, natural disasters, the policies of both central and local authorities, new regulations for urban planning and conservation are the reasons determined as major causes for the continui...
Exploring crime in a spatial and temporal context
Erdoğan, Aygün; Gedik, Ayşe; Department of City and Regional Planning (2007)
This study explores incidents in a spatial and temporal context to achieve suitable strategies for urban planning and policing in crime prevention/reduction. For this purpose, “space” and “time” related incidents are analyzed through “new crime ecology” theories within the designed “loose-coupled” GIS-based system at “mezo”-“micro” ecological levels in a case area within Ankara Metropolis, in 2000. Its main argument is that incidents display differences in the spatial and/or temporal distribution among plan...
Succeeding generations, changing trajectories: the influences of generational transition on the local pathways of development - the Kayseri experience
Hovardaoğlu, Ozan; Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih; Department of City and Regional Planning (2009)
The success of the local development experiences after the 1980s is associated with the non-economic components as well as the economic ones in the contemporary development literature. Most apparently, the literature seems to be intensified on the local institutions and on the local social interaction which creates reciprocal cooperative trust relations. These socially constructed local institutions refer to the local rules, routines and patterns having been directly influencing the relation among the local...
A historic-contextual approach for the identification of the built heritage in historic urban areas : case of Galata district in Istanbul
Topçu, Hicran; Bakırer, Ömür; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2004)
The recent developments in the urban conservation theory has introduced a contextual perspective that gives further emphasis to the cultural integrity of the historic urban area which is created through the physical and non-physical relationships between the urban context and its components. In this perspective, the conventional identification tools of the urban conservation - the separate designation of the buildings and areas- come to be questioned, and re-formulated according to the demands created by th...
Urban compactness : a study of Ankara urban form
Çalışkan, Olgu; Günay, Baykan; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2003)
Sustainable urban development is mentioned together with the concept of urban form in contemporary planning literature. The main reason behind this is a need for determining an ideal physical development scheme and its main principles of urban future in a broad term. Besides, the operational side of urban planning requires a concrete set of design codes in order to transform urban space in both macro and mezzo scale. At this point, the concept of urban compactness and the idea of Compact City have come into...
