Strategic spatial planning is a multi-actor approach through which relevant parties come together, discuss the problems and potentials of their locality and formulate a shared vision, strategies and projects for multiple sectors. Obviously, this planning approach comprises certain methods and techniques; however, it is reinterpreted in different ways in the planning systems of different countries due to their specific legislative, economic, administrative and social backgrounds. What is more, the use of this approach may vary even between localities in the same country, depending on the perception of the stakeholders and methods of collaboration. Despite varying perceptions and methods of adoption, it is possible to say that contemporary strategic planning practices display two constants, which are (1) a multi-actor (or participatory) planning process and (2) a multi-dimensional (or multi-sectoral) plan. Once these two characteristics are provided, the so-called nation-specific and local-specific differences show themselves in the organization of multi-actor planning processes, and in the contents and forms of strategic plans. The method of adoption and interpretation of the mentioned characteristics is illustrated by three cases (at regional, provincial and local levels) from Turkey.

Using System Dynamics for Strategic Performance Management in Construction Yildiz, Acelya Ecem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2020-03-01) Balanced scorecard (BSC) and strategy maps (SMs) are among the most popular strategic performance management methods that have been proposed in the literature to define, analyze, and monitor performance and strategies. Despite their popularity, BSC and SMs have been criticized for their inability to simulate dynamic interrelations between performance measures and strategies over time. In this paper, a dynamic SM was developed by using system dynamics (SD) modeling based on the BSC framework. This paper desc...
A GROUNDED STUDY ON REGIONAL DYNAMICS OF TRUST, COLLABORATION AND COORDINATION IN THE TURKISH AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY AND EMERGING MOBILITY ECOSYSTEM Şavlı, Devrim; Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2022-3-08) The thesis examines the changing nature of regional dynamics of trust, collaboration, and coordination relations among the actors of automotive cluster and traces the characteristics of emerging mobility ecosystem in the region which consists of Bursa, İstanbul, Sakarya and Kocaeli. The study tries to conceptualize inter-institutional trust, collaboration, and coordination relations during the transition process from the automotive industry to the mobility ecosystem within the framework of an inductive appr...
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...
Exploring the Relationship between Complexity and Risk in Megaconstruction Projects Erol, Huseyin; Dikmen, Irem; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2020-12-01) © 2020 American Society of Civil Engineers.Although complexity and risk are inherent characteristics of megaconstruction projects, existing project management approaches fail to incorporate complexity-based thinking into risk management. Complexity is usually considered as the source of risk events, along with uncertainty. However, prevailing risk management practices are oriented toward only handling the uncertainty. The lack of integration between the complexity and other risk-related concepts leads to un...
Investigation of layout optimization for offshore wind farms and a case study for a region in Turkey Kaya, Baran; Oğuz, Elif; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-2) In this thesis, the focus was to develop an optimization tool by using mathematical layout optimization methods aiming to increase the energy capacity or reduce the cost of an offshore wind farm. For this purpose, two wind farm layout optimization (WFLO) models were developed using genetic algorithm (GA): model (a) minimizing the cost of power for variable turbine number, model (b) maximizing the power generation for fixed turbine number. Wind speed and wind direction were assumed constant. Therefore, unlik...
