Item Association of urban green spaces with urban ecological zones(EnPress Publisher, LLC, 2023) Bekişoğlu, Havva Ülgen; Keyis, NazifeToday urban development lacks ecological foundations in many cities of Turkey. The purpose of this study is to reveal the relationship between urban green spaces and ecological zones in the sample of Aksaray/Turkey. In this study, a study design has been created to improve the urban ecological infrastructure and to associate the green space network with the ecological zones. This design is divided into four parts as data processing, landscape pattern of urban green spaces, analysis of the spatial boundaries of urban natural ecological zones, and determination of the importance of spatial regions by overlaying two different stratified analyses. This study proposes a methodological framework that can be integrated into efforts to identify ecological zones to increase the sustainability of urban ecology and green space quality. One potential limitation of the proposed methodology can be the lack of consensus and enthusiasm among the administrative actors regarding the issue. Therefore, it is recommended that the administrative bodies should be correctly informed by the relevant scholars and practitioners who are working on the subject.Item Sound absorption depending on landscape pattern changes in a highway(Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iasi (TUIASI), 2022) Bekişoğlu, Havva Ülgen; Sönmez, Gamze; Tekşen, Mehtap; Ateş, ErsinNoise is one of the inevitable environmental problems caused by the increasing population all over the world. There are various sources of noise that have physiological and psychological effects on people. One of these is traffic noise, which is especially effective in residential areas. This study aims to investigate the effect of different vegetation types on noise reduction in a highway model with heavy traffic. Six locations with dense planting along the highway in terms of plant groups and species density were selected, and the correlation of species density with noise analysis values was examined. For each location point, 2 points were assigned on the line, in front of and behind the vegetation, and measurements were made at 12 stations in total. Measurements were taken by performing fieldwork 5 times in different seasons and months and expressed as Leq differences. Since the vegetation types at the measurement points were not ordered, the species density analysis was determined in percentage (%) within the square areas of 100x100 meters in the existing field conditions. Mapping was completed using GIS to visualize the spatial spread of the noise measurement results, and zoning was done with interpolation to determine the noise contours and noise effect. According to all the findings obtained in this study, the leafy shrub or the tree group were found more effective in noise absorption than the coniferous species. Numerical calculations on maps suggest that plant community size and diversity can have a positive impact on noise reduction.Item Multi criteria decision making methods for urban greenway: The case of Aksaray, Turkey(Elsevier, 2019) Balta, Münevver Özge; Ülgen Yenil, HavvaGreenway planning is a key component of the open and green space system to ensure urban sustainability. Greenway planning should be included in the multi-criteria decision-making process because it involves more than one criterion and is a subject that requires the perspectives of different disciplines. The greenway based studies have become important in recent years however the sustainability-based studies on how to identify and function greenway routes in a city are quite limited. This study is to determine the sustainable and optimum greenway routes in Aksaray city in Turkey using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The present study can play crucial role for providing sustainable planning, design and management of greenways and guiding decision makers.Item A study on conservation of architectural housing units in the context of sociocultural structure and alteration: case of Cappadocia-Gulyurt/Turkey(TAYLOR & FRANCIS, 2016) Şahin, Ebru; Aksulu, Behiye IşıkIn urban life with ever evolving, growing and changing cultural and physical dynamics, traditional urban fabric should be preserved and this conservation should be made sustainable. This urban scale conservation can only be ensured by understanding physical and cultural structure and values of traditional fabric. Only a conservation operation which is prepared in a holistic scope and involves social, physical, functional and aesthetic solutions can enable the determination of place and importance of traditional historical fabric in urban- and regional-scale and revelation of its usability using appropriate methods for appropriate purposes. Traditional housing fabric of Guzelyurt has faced the problem of conservation following sociocultural transformation in the settlement. In this study, this conservation was discussed within the changing social structure, and traditional housing fabric was described, investigated and classified within its cultural context.Item Urban development process of built environments in metropolitan areas in Turkey: case study of Angora settlement, Ankara(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012) Balta, Münevver Özge; Tekel, Ayşe; Tekel, Halil İbrahimThe built environments of metropolitan areas are rapidly changing in response to urban development dynamics. The nature of the urban built environment continues to be influenced by the conflicting interests and expectations of various entities involved in the process of development planning and implementation. The formulation and implementation of urban development plans in Turkey is guided by the statutory provisions of the country's planning system. This process has led to piecemeal implementation through partial plans and plan amendments in metropolitan areas. This article attempts to determine how the private sector in metropoles in Turkey shaped the built environment in Turkey after 1980. Influence of neo-liberal policies and a partial planning approach set by a free-market economy instead of a comprehensive planning approach shaped urban space. As a capital, the urban development of Ankara has mostly been shaped by partial planning approaches and implementations and uncontrolled developments, especially on the southwest axis of the city's metropolitan area. For this reason, one of the largest settlement of southwest Ankara is the Angora Settlement, which has been selected as the case study. Examining the entities who play a part in the urban development process is important to control its consequences. In this article, the case of Angora Settlement is used to question the planning process and entities in the development of urban built environments, and studies this settlement to identify and question which entities determine the components of the built environment in the urban development process. In particular, this paper captures the dominance of the structural interests of the private sector in shaping Angora's land use pattern, which is important because it reveals the uncontrolled growth dynamics in developing countries.Item Urban development policy and urban sprawl in Turkey(Springer International Publishing AG, 2016) Balta, Münevver Özge; Grammelis, P[Abstract Not Available]
