As it takes place in almost every part of the world, existing built environments and city centers are also being undergoing processes of hollowing out in Turkey. In that regard, city hospitals represent a new face in these hollowing out processes. Existing literature and debates in that topic often focus on financial and spatial impacts and consequences of city hospitals. Therefore, the emphasis is mostly placed on newly formed city hospitals and the spatial environment around them. However, limited number of attention is paid on those areas where the current public hospitals subjected to closure are located. In most cases, these areas have already been in decline and with the closure of these hospitals, the situation will be deteriorated. Launching from this point, in this thesis, while paying attention to certain aspects of newly emerging city hospitals, the main emphasis will be placed on these already troubled areas where public hospitals have been closed in the cities of Turkey.

Urban archaeological ıssues and resources in İzmir historic city centre: an exploratory case study Belge, Burak; Tuna, Numan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2005) In Turkey, the majority of the historic city centres have been continuously occupied since early ages onwards and where still occupation exists.

Handling Sub-Soil Urban Archaeological Resources In Urban Planning, Issues In İzmir Historic City Centre Belge, Burak (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2012-12-1) In Turkey, although most of the historic city centres have been continuously occupied since early ages, urban archaeological resources –cultural deposits underneath modern cities- could not be handled into planning process. It will be possible to strike the right balance provided that the archaeological resources are evaluated and considered in each stage of the planning and development process. At that point, urban archaeology is considered as an interdisciplinary field of study that evaluates the cultural...
Plan modifications within the contexts of planning control mechanisms Mersin case Ünlü, Tolga; Altaban, Özcan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2005) Urban development plans in the Turkish planning system envision that a time would come and the spatial development of any city would be completed in the specific planning period. The allegation of the planning system is to control every detail during urban development. However, the static nature of development plans within the regulatory context cannot provide strategies to manage the dynamic nature of the socio-political context. This contradictory situation involves tensions in planning control mechanisms...
Methodology and database requirements for urban regenerration action planning : the case of Zeytinburnu, İstanbul Burnaz, Ahmet Mert; Balamir, Murat; Department of City and Regional Planning (2004) As a result of the disregard of governments̕ direct urbanization policies for more than 50 years, most of the settlements in Turkey today demonstrate sub-standard environments and unauthorized developments subject to severe natural hazards. Turkey will have to focus in the near future on the renewal and regeneration of cities built over the past six decades, rather then sticking to urban policies solely devoted to extend new urban areas. The production of legal instruments and urban policies to facilitate t...
