It is imperative to develop a macro-level framework, and long-term policy alternatives to solve the housing problems of Turkey. Since most of the past housing programmes in Turkey were dependent on the estimation of housing needs, effective demand could not be properly evaluated. Yet, housing demand is closely connected with income level and ability to pay. So, effective housing programmes necessitate the predetermination of target groups, where income level and income share devoted to housing expenditures are considered. With this in mind, this study aims to compare alternative scenarios of housing finance considering their accessibility to different income groups. For this purpose, a macro-economic simulation model of housing needs assessment was utilised. Investment and subsidy requirements of the proposed housing programmes were also evaluated by using macro-economic data such as GDP growth rate, inflation and housing investment. As a result, it was concluded that current housing programmes are very far from meeting the demand of households. Comparison of four scenarios showed that new policy proposals should cover rental housing, especially for low income groups.

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 ...
Housing production under less-regulated market conditions in Turkey Türel, Ali; KOÇ, HÜLYA (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-03-01) In recent years, the numbers of annual housing starts in Turkey have greatly exceeded the increases in the number of households. Such high levels of housing output occur under less-regulated and highly competitive market conditions, and when conventional housing policies associated with a welfare state are not introduced. In addition, the decentralized planning system and the potential for profit through housing investments when compared to most other sectors appear to have been instrumental in the high lev...
Foreign investment in producer services - The Turkish experience in the post-1980 period Tokatli, N; Erkip, F (1998-02-01) Since 1980, Turkey has been changing its growth strategy from protectionist import substitution to one more market-oriented and outward looking. As the restructuring has unfolded, the domestic market has opened up to foreigners. This paper discusses the increasing involvement in the economy of producer service firms with foreign capital. We describe 278 such firms: when they entered the Turkish market, their countries of origin (mostly European Community countries), industry groups and ownership structure. ...
Democracy to become reality: Participatory planning through action research Ataov, Anh (Elsevier BV, 2007-09-01) Different approaches in participatory planning stem from argumentation that stresses a certain model of democracy. While each model promotes participatory conditions, they do not always become reality. The needs of today's communities and the complex political system require a different approach for participatory planning to operate in a democratic way. This paper argues that five conditions are salient and illustrates the empirical consequences of this position by using the experiences of participatory mov...
Householder Satisfaction in Apartment Block Neighborhoods: Case of Ankara, Turkey Erdoğdu, Gülsün Pelin Sarıoğlu; Özdemir Sarı, Özgül Burcu (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2018-03-01) In Turkey, the satisfaction of households with their neighborhoods has never been an explicit concern of policymakers. Multistory apartment buildings dominate the urban environment, and they lack, in most cases, any significant social and physical infrastructure. This has raised questions of how the neighborhood satisfaction of households can be measured and understood. This study investigates the neighborhood satisfaction of households in apartment buildings in the case of urban Ankara. The Ankara Survey r...
