This research aims to explore the role of legislative process in the formation of architecture-urban interfaces. Urban interfaces are the interspaces forming a shared boundary between an urban space and an architectural structure. Considering the interactive process of architecture and city planning, urban interfaces as the spatial intersection, are the keys of relations of these disciplines. Spatial integration of urban form and architecture affect urban environment in terms of urban spatial interaction. Architectural and urban design with legislative process is the determinative of the formation, definition and production of that spatial integration, urban interfaces. However, those two designating factors differ in terms being objective and subjective issues. During design process of urban composition, legal (objective) regulations are guides for designed (subjective) urban or architectural elements to make them work as parts of a whole. Therefore design guidance in the legislative process, become a crucial part of the development control systems in terms of physical, social, functional and visual qualities of urban environment. As a result it is necessary to include interfaces in development control system, as the spatial keys of architectural structure and urban space. This study will cover the interfaces as the boundary and the setting under the titles of built form and building site. Accordingly, the study will discuss the role of legislative processes and regulations as a design guidance system in the formation of vi urban interfaces in terms of physical, social functional and visual effects on urban environment. Finally the definition and formation of interfaces within legislation, regulations and spatial planning process as a design guidance, will be evaluated in terms of effectiveness, adequacy and sufficiency.

The contribution of strategic spatial planning to the establishment of democratic governance structures Soysal, Begüm; Ataöv Demirkan, Anlı; Department of City and Regional Planning (2008) This thesis aims to search the contribution of strategic spatial planning to the establishment of democratic governance structures. Within this aim; it discusses strategic spatial planning with respect to its procedural and organizational characteristics and the notion of governance with respect to the issue of participatory democracy. Additionally; it argues that strategic spatial planning includes some conditions including that enhance the development of democratic governance. In doing these; it both cove...
The changing morphology of urban greenways, Ankara, 1923-1960 Burat, Sinan; Aktüre, Sevgi; Department of City and Regional Planning (2008) Despite the abundance of descriptive studies on the urban development plans of Ankara, analytical studies on specific features of these plans, especially on implementation and modification processes are scarce. This study examines the green space structure brought in Jansen’s 1932 development plan of Ankara, the way it was implemented and the modifications that a component of this structure was subject to. The 1932 Jansen plan is a holistic and comprehensive plan that contained a conceptual green space stru...
A socio-spatial approach to the question of class and consciousness formation in a local setting: the case of Bursa industrial workers Erengezgin, B Çavlan; Şengül, Hüseyin Tarık; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2007) The aim of this thesis is to explore the class and consciousness formation in a local setting by also developing and applying a theoretical framework which allow us to study the interaction of locus of class consciousness with the other loci of consciousness formation such as the community and the state. Such an approach is also grounded in the belief that a relational understanding of these processes requires us to take spatial dynamics such as local dependency, spatial fix and fixity and mobility into acc...
A Critical evaluation of local poverty alleviation policies: the case of three provinces in Turkey Önez Çetin, Zuhal; Ersoy, Melih; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2012) The world has witnessed a transformation process associated with the drastic changes in social, political and economic spheres under the constraints of neo-liberalism with opening up new challenges for humanity. At that context, as a global problem, poverty has been aggravating at the world-wide and now urban areas are more exposed to risks of poverty. In this regard, reforms of that restructuring process have centered on the requirement of local administrations at poverty struggle. The purpose of this stud...
Research note: Toward a reference process model for citizen-oriented evaluation of e-Government services Lee, Habin; Osman, Ibrahim H.; Balci, Asim; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Irani, Zahir; Medeni, Tunc D. (2008-08-01) Abstract Purpose – This paper aims to introduce a European project CEES to develop a standard for the evaluation of Electronic Government (e-Government) services from a citizen satisfaction perspective. Design/methodology/approach – The aim, objectives, methodology, and deliverables of the project CEES are detailed. Furthermore, the challenges of the development of a reference process model in different countries are addressed and academic and practical implications of the project for the citizen-oriented e...
