Analysing the social structures of the city through events has been an interest for architects and urban designers. The developments in digital technology made reaching great amount of data about urban environment fast and possible. The data of events which take place in the urban environment such as time and location of the event and the number of people who attend the event can be reached through digital information technology. The internet and new applications like Eventbrite (uk and us), Skiddle (us), Lavarla(Ankara) and Meetup (Ankara) gives information about the events that take place in specific locations and allow us to uncover the temporal activity patterns in the urban environment. Mapping is a strategic act for this research, as a technique to give a meaning to this great amount of information by visualization and as a theory to criticize the opportunities it provides. In this scope, the aim of the paper is to evaluate the current examples of mapping as a technique and web data as a source to make the rhythm of events more visible to have a better understanding of the character of the urban environment through human activity. In other words this study, based on the contemporary mapping theory and techniques, elaborates the visualization of time, space and activity relationship using publicly available online data to contemplate urban identity.

Measuring Walkability for More Liveable and Sustainable Cities: The case of Mersin City Centre Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge (2020-08-01) Walkability is of rising importance in planning and design circles. In Turkey and the world, it is increasingly recognized as an urban strategy to create healthy societies within sustainable and ‘liveable’ cities. Despite this interest, the extent to which Turkish cities are walkable remains questionable. Defining the performative features of walkability, this research offers a micro- scale walkability assessment model with eight qualitative and quantitative factors of urban design. Describing the model wit...

Centers are the peak points of publicness in cities and as a central activity administration is indispensible for every settlement...

Resolving the historic urban tissue by tracing the changes as a basis for its conservation : Samsun from 20th century until today Yazıcı, Merve; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2013) This thesis identifies the causes and the process of the change of the historic city center of Samsun since the beginning of the 20th century by the role of the development and conservation activities. Because of rapid urban growth and the lack of conservation principles in city plans, most of the city centers have been subjected to growth-conservation contradiction. As a result of this, the historic city centers lose their unique characteristics and cultural heritage while they change rapidly. The city of ...
