Since the mid-19th century, squatter settlements have been seen as a crucial problem by governments because of the idea that the urbanization and modernization processes of have negatively affected cities. These areas have been perceived as a risk for the physical development of cities and the improvement of lifestyles of the society. Especially in the 21st century, urban transformation projects are introduced as the only solution to get rid of squatter settlements. However, it is observed that the cultural values, the collective memory, the community engagement, neighborliness relations, the traditional urban tissue and the architectural heritage are often ignored by the authorities who introduce such projects. In this thesis, it is argued that reassessment and regeneration process may be an alternative future path for such areas. To introduce values of these entities, Bursa Mollafenari and İvazpaşa neighborhoods are chosen as the case study, which are situated on the edge of the historical city of Bursa and the Uludağ mountain. In this study, the aim is to discuss a squatter settlement as a living neighborhood and a place with its potentials and problems and to enhance its architectural and social value for the community. In this regard, the need for a thinking and a detailed evaluation process before any possible elimination by a transformation project is emphasized on the example of Mollafenari and İvazpaşa neighborhoods.

Producing Urban Space After Urban Transformation: The Case of Çukurambar, Ankara Tunçbilek, Lale; Basa, İnci; Department of Architecture (2022-9-5) In the era of globalization and digitalization, to keep up with the uncontrolled rapid urbanization, cities have expanded unrestrainedly. This expansion also required an overhaul of the existing urban fabric. Urban transformation, mostly in the form of the destruction of the old and the emergence of the new, redefines the sociocultural urban complexity while creating spatial fragmentations. Approaching urban space as a dynamic entity that is produced over time, the material and cultural production of urban ...
Planlama Sürecine Kentsel Arkeolojik Değerlerin Dâhil Edilmesi Sorunsalı: Tarsus Tarihi Kent Merkezi Belge, Burak (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2017-12-21) Türkiye’de tarihi kent merkezlerinin büyük çoğunluğu antik çağlardan itibaren sürekli olarak yerleşim yeridir. Devam eden araştırmalar ve bulgular modern kentlerin altındaki arkeolojik potansiyeli işaret etmektedir. Ancak, mekânsal belgelemenin yetersizliği nedeniyle kentsel arkeolojik değerler planlama sürecine dâhil edilememektedir. Bu nedenle, arkeolojik bulgular genellikle kentsel gelişmede problem alanları olarak görülmektedir. En önemli problemlerden bir tanesi de, disiplinlerarası bir çalışma alanı o...
Evaluating the potentials of neglected urban spaces in hıstorıcal city centres to acquire a sense of place: the Iskıtler Small Industry area in Ankara Alpdemir, İbrahim; Aral, Hacer Ela; Department of Architecture (2023-1-27) Old city centres that have been able to preserve their position as the cultural and economic heart of an urban hinterland, function as a centre for converging the city’s lifelines as well as acting as a reflection of its image. The spatial and perceptive quality of a city’s centre plays an important role in maintaining its vitality and ensuing an image of its own. This quality is defined by the term place and is a notion that can be perceived by the simultaneous stimulation of the senses. This is something ...
Process and participation in legal regulations of urban regeneration: the case of Zeytinburnu, İstanbul Çiçek, Hüseyin; Balamir, Murat; Department of City and Regional Planning (2005) High risks imposed by natural hazards, and changes in economic, socio-cultural and technological conditions compel Turkey to transform its cities rather than promote growth. In this respect, urban regeneration became a significant concern demanding a comprehensive and integrated vision and action. Turkey will have to focus on regenerating the built environment in the near feature, rather than follow conventional trends of city-extension development. As scope and methods of urban regeneration planning differ...
