Student accommodation facilities in university towns, provided by private rented sector, become highly vulnerable due to the distance education and downturn of urban economies during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is no certain decision and prediction about the future of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, whatever happens, it should be necessary to have a resilient system enabling system components to be ready for possible changes to overcome the negative experiences. With this premise, the consideration of the experience of university students and private landlords providing accommodation for these students gains importance to estimate the need for housing policies and survival of the housing market. To provide a first outcomes of COVID-19 pandemic on private rented sector benefited by university students, Menteşe/Muğla is selected as a case study, a university town where one-third of the population is students who protest the high rent level and poor housing conditions every year. In addition to the living condition problems of students, this study aims to focus the emerging leasing problems of these students and landlords during pandemic. These problems are considered as very important components in terms of the future and resilient of the private housing market and related housing policies.

Housing affordability of different income groups in turkey: regional comparison Aksoy, Esma; Özdemir Sarı, Özgül Burcu; Department of City and Regional Planning (2017) Housing affordability has been a major topic of interest both for researchers and policy makers in many countries.

The problem of housing has usually been considered as a quantitative deficiency problem in Turkey, and for many decades any other dimension of the problem is neglected. Increasing the housing stock in numbers has always been given priority by the Turkish governments. This tendency to support new housing production has co...
1980 Sonrasında Konut Üretimindeki Gelişmeler Türel, Ali (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 1989) Bu yazıda Türkiye'deki konut üretiminde 1980 sonrasında görülen nitel ve gelişmeler inceleniyor. Ekonominin 1970'li yılların ilk yarısında girdiği krizin ve 1978 yandan itibaren uygulamaya konulan önlemler paketlerinin konut sektörü üzerinde büyük etkileri olmuştur. Konut sektörünün bu süreçteki davranışları çeşitli aşamalarda farklılıklar göstermiştir. 1980 yılma kadar giderek artan konut arz ve talebi, 1980 yılında yürürlüğe giren istikrar programlarının ardından hızla daralmıştır. Derin bir krize giren k...
Housing crediting and urban development in Turkey. Kasar, Cere; Keskinok, H. Çağatay.; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2019) One of the most significant problems in developing countries relates to housing finance. Long-term housing assets are securitized during economic recessions, and the use of real estate as collateral to obtain bank credits creates fictitious growth in the economy. In the vicious circle, where most investments are made into the construction sector every year, it is the rural areas that strive to develop around the cities that suffer the most. The present study puts forward a good practice model to steer prope...
Housing along the western development corridor in Ankara: case studies in Etimesgut & Sincan Doğan, Derya; Türel, Ali; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2008) Urbanisation and suburban housing development are the foci subjects of this thesis. The process of urbanisation may differ from one country to another in terms of socio-economic and political structures, environmental characteristics and also local features. In this context, housing areas at the urban fringe of Ankara were found to have been developed highly compatible with urban land use theories; but different from the process experienced in developed countries. In this thesis, a different dimension of su...
