Empirical investigation of owner-occupiers' reinvestments in housing: the case of Ankara, Turkey
Özdemir Sarı, Özgül Burcu (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-03-01)
In Turkey, reinvestments in the existing housing stock are entirely dependent on households' decisions in the free market. There are no policies to consider reinvestment processes, and the body of knowledge on households' reinvestment decisions is scant. Understanding how individual reinvestment decisions are determined is vital to devise policy measures to improve the condition of the existing housing stock and neighbourhoods. In this study, an attempt is made to identify the basic motivations and factors ...
Designing the heterotopia: from social ideology to spatial morphology
Çalışkan, Olgu; Tümtürk, Onur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-03-01)
The established binary oppositions like 'modern vs. traditional' or 'urban vs. rural' fall short either to comprehend or to (re)generate cultural complexity of the contemporary societies. This problem is usually exposed by the critiques questioning the nature of design in urbanism reducing the domain to formal, functional or stylistic expressions in practice. The alternative track exposing another strategic outlook in the search for 'enforced' diversity within the neighbourhood, however, reveals some other ...
Globalization and urban governance in Istanbul
Uzun, Cemile Nil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-03-01)
Since the 1980s, the topic of governance has been extensively investigated in parallel with the effects of globalization on policy issues. Meanwhile, there has been an increasing fragmentation of responsibilities in the urban arena. Now, the main focus is on new institutional relations and the policy process in which different constituents and agencies participate at both the national and the local level. As a result of the rescaling process of the state, networked forms of governance constitute a new form ...
Reclaiming the right to the city: Reflections on the urban uprisings in Turkey
Kuymulu, Mehmet Barış (Informa UK Limited, 2013-07-08)
The spark that drew Istanbul into a fire of protest and uprising was initially set off by a modest ‘occupy style’ peaceful resistance, staged against the destruction of an historically public park, an urban commons, in order to make way for yet another shopping mall in Istanbul. Following explicit police violence against the protestors, who were openly discredited by the government for being a few looters, the urban centers of Turkey saw a full-fledged uprising, gathering considerable international steam as...
Imagineering: a model approach for futuristic design thinking in urbanism
Çalışkan, Olgu; Yavuz, Irmak (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2020-02-01)
Under the prevailing condition of uncertainty that postulates the impossibility of predicting the long-term future of the contemporary urban societies, spatial planning and design seemingly require new methodologies for an effective future perspective on the human settlements. Used to rely on forecasting as an extrapolation technique projecting no further than 15-20 years ahead in practice, the profession largely falls insufficient to suggest a forward-thinking approach, today. To transcend such settled 'sh...
