Rentable housing in Turkey is provided by the private rented sector. There is no provision of 105rental housing and publicly owned rental stock in the country. The private rented sector is large enough to accommodate almost 28 percent of urban households in the country. This paper investigates problems in the private rented sector related to affordability, quality of housing and residential environment. Households’ subjective evaluations are analysed over 2009-2014 period employing the Income and Living Conditions Survey data of the Turkish Statistical Institute. The findings reveal that most of the problems investigated are slightly reduced over the observed period. In both survey years tenants compared to owner-occupiers suffer more from the problems related to affordability, housing and residential environment. Furthermore, the extent of the problem is more severe for tenants with affordability problems.

Housing as a sustainable architecture in Turkey: a research on TOKİ housing Sezer, Mete; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2009) Turkey, as a developing country, requires substantial amount of housing stock. TOKİ (Toplu Konut İdaresi – Housing Development Administration), as the pioneer housing project builder, has a great significance in the housing production of Turkey.

On the other hand sustainability is an in evitable issue when the environmental, social, cultural and economical benefits are concerne...
Securing future of social housing: learning from an alternative regeneration/ gyldenrisparken in Denmark Bican, Nezih Burak; Cengizkan, Ali; Mortensen, Peder Duelund; Department of Architecture (2016) There has been a vast quantity of mass-housing production by the central housing authority in Turkey in the recent years. Operated in line with neo-liberal economy-policies since the beginning of 2000s, the public production has concentrated on speed of construction, quantity of dwelling units, and developing financial resource for ‘social housing’ provision by building luxury housing in profitable urban lands. However, this provision has faced criticism of various academic and non-academic circles, primari...

Failing promises of homeownership in Turkey Aksoy Khurami, Esma; Özdemir Sarı, Özgül Burcu; Department of City and Regional Planning (2020-12-23) Homeownership is not a new agenda of housing policy in Turkey. During the last 20 years, policies promoting homeownership have been executed, and planning has been used as a pair of tongs. Through new house building, the increase in homeownership rates is expected to provide individuals with a means of opportunity. As initial promises, homeownership is argued to provide everyone with a chance to acquire a stable home, a way of refraining from affordability problems, wealth accumulation through housing, and ...
Housing Layout Reconsidered In Societal Context: A Case Study In Switzerland Lawrence, Roderick J. (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 1996-1-01) Housing units are material products of society that define and delimit domestic space for households. They provide shelter and protection for daily activities. The fact that housing units in the same society have quite different shapes and sizes, and that they are built with a range of construction materials suggests that, beyond pragmatic factors, others are of at least equal importance in determining their layout, construction, and meaning. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an understanding of those c...
