The permanent post-disaster houses constructed in the rural areas of Cankiri Province in Turkey, were investigated as part of a post-occupancy evaluation of the reconstruction project, undertaken by the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanisation. The aim of the study was to examine whether houses constructed with Typical or Custom Designs met the needs of the users in the region or not. Field surveys were undertaken, and face to face interviews were conducted with the beneficiaries of the reconstruction project and the Ministry officials who were responsible for the project. A questionnaire was distributed to the beneficiaries of the housing loans and four case studies were carried out on selected houses with various typologies. The data collected from the interviews and questionnaire survey as well as a survey of the modifications in the architectural design of the houses revealed that there was a high level of dissatisfaction with the Typical Designs supplied by the Ministry. On the other hand, since the Custom Designs were closer to traditional houses from the point of view of occupants needs, satisfaction rate was higher; although the beneficiaries indicated that traditional houses were more appropriate to their lifestyles. This paper presents data collected and details regarding the modifications made or desired by the occupants in their permanent post disaster houses.

Securing future of social housing: learning from an alternative regeneration/ gyldenrisparken in Denmark
Bican, Nezih Burak; Cengizkan, Ali; Mortensen, Peder Duelund; Department of Architecture (2016)
There has been a vast quantity of mass-housing production by the central housing authority in Turkey in the recent years. Operated in line with neo-liberal economy-policies since the beginning of 2000s, the public production has concentrated on speed of construction, quantity of dwelling units, and developing financial resource for ‘social housing’ provision by building luxury housing in profitable urban lands. However, this provision has faced criticism of various academic and non-academic circles, primari...
The Impacts of state policies on social housing and urban identity: the case Maskan Mehr of Urmia
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...
Re-reading the social context of apartment block development in İstanbul: 1889-1922
Aktuna, Zeynep; Güvenç, Murat; Department of City and Regional Planning (2003)
The thesis investigates the early phases of apartment block development in Istanbul, which took place in the second half of the 19th century. Apartment block development represents a unique process in Istanbul. It not only reflects the أwest-orientedؤ side of the Ottoman Empire but also sheds light on the transformation of urban fabric from pre-modern to modern. The emergence of apartment blocks in Istanbul, hence, does not simply imply the adoption of a أwesternؤ and أmodernؤ life, but also reflect a spati...
Urban-spatial analysis of mass housing environments: mapping Batıkent in search of alternatives to generic housing
Küreli Gülpınar, Ece; Balamir, Aydan; Department of Architecture (2021-3)
Living environments in Turkey are shaped with generic housing blocks implemented by public and private actors operating in the mass housing production. Despite the relative diversification and pluralism that started in the 1980s, mainstream housing practice has given rise to the spread of stereotypical patterns and types forming the morphology of cities over time. Nevertheless, alternative searches for the architecture and planning of mass housing have managed to find little gaps for realization. Batıkent ...
Typological residential urbanism: an alternative analysis of the TOKİ housing production as a dominant type
Parlak, Neris; Cengizkan, Ali; Department of Architecture (2015)
Housing production in Turkey has increased enormously in recent years. Quality of the urban form as a result of this housing production is extremely significant since it directly affects the quality of Turkish cities. This thesis aims to draw attention to the potential of the concept of typology on evaluating the quality of urban form of housing environments. Thus, the thesis attempts to test the potential by carrying out a typological analysis of the housing production of TOKİ, which is one of the three ma...
