2011 Van Earthquake was the initiator of an urban transformation wave across Turkey primarily targeting disaster-risky areas. Today’s conjuncture shows that public actions aiming at the compensation of past damages and the mitigation of future ones have been mostly embodied in state-led mass housing and urban regeneration projects. In this context, the main aim of this thesis is to analyze housing policies implemented in post-earthquake recovery process of the city of Van. Welfare issues brought about policy implementations concerning housing reconstruction are evaluated on the basis of problems created by capitalist urbanization, particularly being commodification of housing and displacement. After the analysis of Van case, social policy recommendations are improved upon universalist and redistributive social policy approaches.

Comparison of mean site-specific response spectra in Turkey with the design spectra of AASHTO
Mestav Sarıca, Gizem; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
Seismic design of bridges is a significant problem for all seismically-active countries including Turkey which has gone through recent destructive earthquakes. Bridges are important elements of transportation and their robustness is important in the aftermath of major earthquakes. Turkish engineers currently employ a modified version of AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) LFD Design Specifications for bridge design. Within the scope of a national project (TÜBİTAK 110G...

Shahri, Mohammadjavad; Sargın, Güven Arif; Balamir, Aydan; Department of Architecture (2015)
Maskan Mehr is a mass housing project for low-income people, initiated in the 9th administration of Iran and was started in 2007. As one of the biggest centralized housing project in the history of Iran, the “Maskan Mehr” project in Urmia (Oroumieh) still needs further analysis for urban and architectural points of views, as it experiences social and political turmoil. It was believed that this housing project was of necessity in Urmia as Maskan Mehr was regarded as a logical answer to the said problems. In...

Urban residential environments in Turkey from 1965 onwards are formed through the application of the detached apartment block In satellite towns, the point block dominates the housing environment. The prospect this type provides in formation of the public realm, variety of plan layouts for diverse occupants, is of vital importance and an issue of inquiry. This study aims at re-thinking the apartment block in Turkey, [its transformation from Kiraevi to the anonymous block, through the examples of two cases f...
