Addressing Earthquake Risk and Climate Crisis Together in Spatial Planning
(Kare Publ, 2021) Orhan, Ezgi; Peker, Ender
Cities' vulnerability to natural and man-made threats are ever increasing. Cities are under the threat of both natural disasters such as earthquakes, avalanches and landslides; and climate-driven challenges such as excessive precipitation, heatwaves and droughts. This calls for a need of handling natural and human systems together for the future of cities. However, climate and earthquake action plans which naturally present a direct link to spatial planning, are often produced separately in the Turkish planning practice. This study advocates that strategies for combating earthquake and climatic challenges should be harmonized together within the spatial planning system, and respectively, aims at presenting a holistic planning approach. For this purpose, the study first examines the ways in which disaster and climate issues are addressed in the current laws and national action plans. Then, in line with the 'Regulation on the Preparation of Spatial Plans', it examines the spatial planning scales with an aim of determining the potential areas in which disaster and climate issues could be planned together. Taking this as a point of departure, the paper presents a set of planning strategies responding to earthquake risk and climate crisis at regional, city, neighbourhood and building scales. It discusses synergies and conflicts among these strategies at different scales. This study targets to develop a holistic perspective for earthquake and climate change induced disasters, for the decision-makers and practitioners operating in spatial planning processes.

Analysis of a Historic Masonry Building
(Croatian Soc Civil Engineers-hsgi, 2011) Ozmen, Cengiz; Özmen, Cengiz; Akan, Asli Er; Akan, Aslı; Unay, Ali Ihsan; Mimarlık
The paper starts from the observation that historic masonry buildings are often modified and altered to make them fit for present day use. A single-family masonry house in Turkey, situated in an earthquake prone area and built in the early 20(th) century, is studied. The analysis is made based on Turkish regulations for the initial building and for the building after alterations. Introduction of a reinforced-concrete slab has greatly improved seismic resistance of the building.

Cittaslow Movement From a Critical Point of View
(Kare Publ, 2018) Can, Mehmet Cengiz; Ozmen, Ayca
The Cittaslow Movement, shaped upon the idea of slowness, emerged as a reaction to the negative effects of globalization on small cities. It was founded in 1999 in Italy through initiatives implemented by the mayors of 4 small towns (Greve in Chianti, Orvieto, Positano, Bra) and the founder of Slow Food. This movement, which aims to increase the quality of life by preserving and sustaining the local values of settlements, was quickly embraced by more than 200 small cities and towns in 30 countries. However, Cittaslow is still relatively new and developing movement, and the long-term results are not yet fully known. Cittaslow provides practical guidelines for a more livable settlement, rather than relying on theoretical concerns. It emerged as a result of social reflection rather than scientific research. Therefore, concomitant problems may arise in the implementation process. Nevertheless, in the near future, the concept is expected to continue to grow socially and scientifically through the efforts of Cittaslow International to improve the movement and as a result of the increasing interest of researchers and local authorities. It is therefore important to understand and interpret the essence of the Cittaslow Movement properly at this time. The aim of this article was to provide a framework for the founding ideas and goals of the Cittaslow Movement and to describe its development and progress. The outcomes thus far were evaluated from a critical point of view in order to make new proposals. The goal of this research was to raise awareness of the Cittaslow Movement among all stakeholders, particularly local authorities and residents.
