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 after 2000, housing production was analysed in various aspects in the metropolitan districts of Eskişehir and the factors triggering housing development were discussed within the context of supply and demand situation. The general condition of the housing market in Eskişehir was examined and it was investigated whether there is a difference in housing supply and demand between the districts. Furthermore, the reasons of the differences in housing production between Tepebaşı and Odunpazarı were revealed. To sum up, this study is intended to be a source to be used in making urban development decisions and to guide the future planning processes of Eskişehir city with regard to housing provision.

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...

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...
Investigation of housing valuation models based on spatial and non-spatial techniques

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 ...
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 ...
Changing economies of scale in housing production as related to supply and demand factors
Nurel, Semin; Türel, Ali; Department of City and Regional Planning (2015)
Studies investigating housing production tendencies in cities report that, due to the increase in car ownership and growing concern for healthy living environment, conventional apartment building, built on single parcels has become inadequate to meet households' housing preferences. As a result, demand for living in housing estates, which provide preferred amenities has increased. There are indications that income elasticity of housing demand has increased, implying that such housing is considered as luxury...
