This thesis aims to analyze the alternative position of Eryaman III at the urban and neighborhood scales in terms of its production process and design quality. First, it discusses the ways Eryaman Stages III and IV represent an alternative in terms of design and production among the first four stages led by TOKİ since the 1980s in Eryaman. To this end, it reviews TOKİ’s publications that are representative of its institutional characteristics in the early 1990s, the influential actors and the critical urban planning decisions in the establishment of the Eryaman neighborhood. In addition, it examines the mass housing and urban design theories in post-1960 Europe, considering the theoretical approaches on issues such as typomorphology, urban block and street as patterns of associations adopted by the architects of Eryaman III, Ahmet Gülgönen and Tuncay Çavdar. Through a selection of Gülgönen’s and Çavdar’s design practices prior to Eryaman III, it compares their respective design approaches in terms of continuity and discontinuity between selected projects. Finally, it examines how the physical environments created by these two groups of housing located opposite to each other constitute alternatives to each other in their effort to establish social associations. The study uses a multilayered methodology, including documentation, observation, semi-structured interviews and diagrammatic analysis demonstrate the formal relationships of the urban fabric. The conclusion section asserts that Eryaman III with its production and design characteristics still stands out as a reference for current mass housing production.

The dynamics of the differentiation of housing production in metropolitan areas: the case of Eskişehir Aslaner, Arzu; Balaban, Osman; Department of City and Regional Planning (2019) The aim of this study is to determine the factors affecting the housing production processes in Eskişehir and the effects of these processes on the existing urban development dynamics. Similar to the growth trend across the country, there has been a growth in construction investments, especially in new housing production in Eskişehir after 2000. In addition, metropolitan districts, namely Tepebaşı and Odunpazarı, dominate the total new housing production in the city. In this regard, focusing on the period a...

Participatory urban design: the case of düzce hope homes project Başak, Merve; Gedikli, Bahar; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2016) Participatory planning and design approaches were started to be discussed in the 1960s with the growth of community reactions against the top-down decision-making mechanisms, and social and environmental problems in cities that were triggered by the onset of industrialization in the 19th century. The citizens’ demand for participating in decision-making processes to shape the built environment in which they currently live or will live in the future directly/indirectly affected the role of urban designer as ...
Investigation of housing valuation models based on spatial and non-spatial techniques Boza, Ertuğrul; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Türel, Ali; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2015) The aim of this thesis is to develop hedonic housing valuation models based on spatial (SAR-simultaneous spatial autoregression and GWR - geographically weighted regression) and non-spatial (OLS - ordinary least squares) techniques, to compare the performances of these models and to investigate significant factors affecting housing value. The developed housing valuation models were tested at the Çankaya and Keçiören districts of Ankara province, Turkey. The results of the analyses revealed that significant ...
The Effects of restructuring in the property development sector on urban processes: a case study on Erzurum and Kayseri Dursun, Defne; Ersoy, Melih; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2015) Urban processes are affected by the relation between capital accumulation processes and the production of built environment. Capital-switching approach assumes that the capital flows into the built environment to overcome its overaccumulation problems. Besides, the investments made on built environment are accepted as the locomotive of the economic development through their backward and forward linkages. These economically reductionist mainstream approaches fail to explain the Turkish experience. This thesi...
