Transformation of a public space in İstanbul: the Eminönü Square Çin, Tümay; Bilsel, Fatma Cânâ; Department of City and Regional Planning (2006) Urban public spaces have always been subjected to physical, economical,social, political and cultural transformations of the city. These changing dynamics could cause decay in the spatial qualities and could also lead to a loss of values and identities of urban spaces, especially in public spaces. This thesis explores the qualities of a particular urban space in Istanbul: the Eminönü Square. Providing a guideline for the future urban design projects,the structure and the identity of the historical public sp...
Local government green space policy : the cases of Kartal and Sariyer in İstanbul Coşkun, Özlem; Ersoy, Melih; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2004) Askew and unsystematic urbanization that occurred after rapid increase and migration in 1950̕s in Türkiye, caused destruction of green spaces. In this way, green spaces in urban pattern that are insufficient now are going to decrease day by day. As a result, human beings that are living in cities have to survive their life in a condition of less green and much building. Urban populace has physical and psychological problems caused by noise, pollution, stress together with not meeting their strolling, restin...
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...
Information theory, entropy and urban spatial structure Esmer, Özcan; Türel, Ali; Department of City and Regional Planning (2005) Urban planning has witnessed the profound changes in the methodologies of modelling during the last 50 years. Spatial interaction models have passed from social physics, statistical mechanics to non-spatial and spatial information processing stages of progress that can be designated as paradigm shifts. This thesis traces the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) approach in urban planning as pioneered by Wilson (1967,1970) and Spatial Entropy concept by Batty (1974) based on the Information Theory and its developments b...
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...
