Cities are constantly changing and developing within the framework of social, economic, technological and political contexts. Therefore, it is increasingly common to accept cities as dynamic and complex systems instead of predictable systems. The strong relationship between urban planning and resilience has found itself in many different areas in the literature, for example, flexible planning strategies have been proposed in the urban planning literature to combat chaotic processes and sudden changes. Although there are many studies about the importance and production of public spaces in the spatial planning literature, it has been observed that the number of studies on the evaluation of public spaces within the scope of resilience is quite low. Public spaces, which are one of the most important components of cities, are dynamic in nature and are in contact with many other systems connected to them. Within the scope of the presented thesis, a research has been built on the resilience of Güvenpark, one of the most important, original and symbolic public spaces of Ankara. The terrorist attack that took place in Güvenpark on March 13, 2016 and left many dead and wounded behind was considered as a shock. With the questionnaires, it was tried to determine how the perception on the components used in defining a quality public space changed. In the conclusion part of the study, the design and policy principles that can be followed in order to make Güvenpark a more resilient public space were shared with the readers.

Increasing walkability in public spaces of city centres: the case of Tunali Hilmi Street, Ankara
Ghadimkhani, Parisa; Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge; Department of City and Regional Planning (2011)
Liveability and walkability have recently become one of the major policy topics in the agenda of many cities all over the world because of the negative effects of car-oriented urban developments that have impoverished physical, social, cultural, economic and environmental values of cities. In Ankara, however, the urban development policies based on the decentralization of the city centre and inner city, the impoverished public transportation services and infrastructure, the increasing car-dependent developm...

The impacts and results of urban transformation has been discussed as an important issue in developing countries by different disciplines as political economy, urban design, city planning and urban sociology.

Differentiation of use and provision strategies of urban parks: an evaluation of parks in urban regeneration projects in Ankara
Tuç, İmral; Balaban, Osman; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2018)
Urbanization strategies have usually been shaped by the historical changes in economic and political discourses in a society. Along with the changing economic and political discourses, powerful groups of the time have also been influential on the strategies that shape urban space. Urban parks, as essential components of urban space, were also affected by changes in economic and political discourses as well as actions of powerful groups. Even though the production strategies and usage purposes of urban parks...
An inquiry into different urban transformation models in the context of rent and property transfer: the case of Ankara-Mamak district
Yılmaz, Mahir; Ersoy, Melih; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2011)
The transformation of urban space is determined by the social and economic relations in every mode of production. Under the condition of capitalist accumulation, the transformation of squatter areas is a significant debate. Therefore, the transformation of squatter areas should be analyzed in respect to the rent and the rent distribution by considering structure and agency relationship. In order to understand the rent distribution, political interest groups and capitalist power holders should be scrutinized...
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 ...
