Urban design and transformation is that of understanding or application in the multi-dimensionality of the projected core reason of the actors present in the urban renewal applications. In Ankara, Ulus Historic Center, since the past ten years, Urban Regeneration and Urban Renewal expressions and applications affect the content and the legal platform of protection of cultural heritage areas. Through this development, conservation based improvement approach that evaluated in "Urban Revitalization" and the Renewal approach that prefered for cultural heritage areas which become dilapidated urban tissues interfere with each other. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the Ankara, "Sustainable Conservation of Cultural Landscape And Changing Values Around Haci Bayram Mosque And Augustus Temple" in the context of "Sustainable Historic Environment Protection" around Ulus Historical Center. Historical and cultural memory loss has occurred with applications such as demolition of facade structures facing the Haci Bayram Mosque, enlargement of the last community place of the glass, construction of women parth underneath, construction of multi-storey car park by digging the mound, and filling the periphery with false historical artifacts.Editorial Challenges of the (Anti) Adaptive Urbanization in Multiple Scales(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2023) Orhan, Ezgi; Lotfata, AynazArticle Citation - WoS: 1Ethnic Reflections of the Global Outbreak: a Multi-Dimensional Examination on Syrian Refugees and Settlements in the First Phase of the Coronavirus Outbreak(Kare Publ, 2023) Kahraman, Zerrin Ezgi HalilogluThis study aims to examine the effects of the coronavirus pan-demic on Syrian refugees at the neighbourhood level within the framework of perceptions, personal protection experiences, economic and social structure, and practices of neighbourhood usage. The major data source of this qualitative study included in-depth interviews with Syrian refugees living in Ulubey-Onder Neighbourhoods (Ankara). The findings displayed the effects of the pandemic on Syrians and their settlements, and a compari-son before and after the outbreak. The study demonstrated that the effective information sources of Syrians are composed of so-cial and communicational networks, and social media platforms. Their religious beliefs and social and economic needs both shape their perception on not being contaminated, and explain their reaction towards and resistance to respect the measures of the outbreak. Their lack of knowledge on available health services, attitudes of ignoring the use of face masks and social distanc-ing rules, family structures, and living and working conditions in-crease the risk of the spread of the virus. Although the crowded streets proved that human movement and commercial vitality in Syrian settlements continue as it was before the pandemic, the family incomes and standards of living diminished due to laid offs and limited access to donations of NGOs. This led to empowerment of solidarity networks and social relations in the area. Additionally, this study found out both gender differences in socialization opportunities, and negative effects of curfews and suspension of congregational praying activities on social life dur-ing pandemic times.Article An Evaluation on Planning Legislation Following the 1999 Earthquakes(Kare Publ, 2022) Orhan, EzgiFollowing the 1999 Earthquakes stricken Marmara Region, as the most populated, urbanized and industrialized region of the country, large-scale recovery efforts have been initiated; and in addition to central and local administrations, many institutions and civil societies have become the part of these studies. However, in the face of the devastating effects of the 1999 Earthquakes, significant steps have been taken in legal framework due to its limitedness in guiding disaster policies. Besides, development of the risk management approach at the international level has triggered countries to review their policies and legal regulations shaping their disaster management. Based on this need, the study examines the legislation that shapes the disaster policies and guides spatial planning in our country and its change in the meantime. The legal regulations that have been added to the urban planning legislation in the last 20 years for the purpose of risk mitigation have been discussed. To this end, Article 73 of the "Municipality Law" (no. 5393), "Law on Conservation of Deteriorating Historic and Cultural Property through Renewal and Re-use" (no. 5366), "Law on the Transformation of Areas at Disaster Risk" (no. 6306), and Temporary Article 16 of Development Law (no. 3194) (Peace of Reconstruction) are determined as the main regulation shaping policies for reducing urban risks, and evaluated within the scope of the study. Therefore, this study puts forward the problems and criticisms regarding the implementation of legal arrangements established for the purpose of mitigating urban risks as well as recovery of the disaster-prone areas.Article Citation - WoS: 2Spatial Organization of Public Buildings: an Evaluation on the Capital City of Turkey(Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2020) Orhan, EzgiAnkara, a small town of Anatolia before becoming the capital of Turkey, experienced a fundamental spatial restructuring process following the proclamation of the Republic. The vision of modernity and protective economic structure of the Early Republican era determined the spatial configuration of the city and produced public buildings as the icons of the young regime. The last ninety years witnessed different political-economic climates redesigning the urban regime of Ankara and symbols. One of the most tangible transformations is observed in the public buildings, which convey the economic understandings and urban politics of each period through their spatial and architectural organizations, and symbolic meanings. This study explores the change in the urban symbols with an emphasis on public buildings. For this, the ministry buildings of the capital city were selected to investigate spatial organizations, archistar buildings, and the messages conveyed to the public. Focusing on the the intentionally developed clusters of ministries, this study adressed basically three periods concerning the change in political and economic systems; the foundation period, the liberal years and the neoliberal era. As a result of this study it is stated that that in the Turkish case public buildings reflect the main motives of the period they were produced, their spatial organization serves as a medium containing information about the political, economic and social structure of each period.Article Citation - WoS: 1Socio-Spatial Sensitivity Areas in Wind Energy Transition: the Case of Izmir(Kare Publ, 2021) Demir, Basak; Ataov, AnilGrowing energy need is obvious considering the increasing population, industrial development, together with today's fossil fuel based living conditions. Within this framework renewable energy transition is inevitable in search for a long-term solution to this growing energy need. However, several public oppositions are encountered during such transition processes. This study focuses on the wind energy - an important source of renewable energy - in case of Izmir which is the leading city in Turkey in terms of number of wind farms as well as intensive public oppositions. Study reveals social sensitivity areas of wind energy production regarding natural environment and economic life (agriculture, animal husbandry), sensory (effect on visual integrity, noise), health (effect on human health), technological (magnetic field and turbine number) issues. The study reveals individual and collective perceptions about the sensitivity areas, on the other hand, there is an opinion that does not consider the expressed issues as a problem. The findings show the validity of social sensitivity, but also raise the possibility of making sensitivity assessment based on the thought that there is no such thing or what he heard from others. According to the findings of the study, increasing number of wind farms within the context of Izmir creates a "saturation" among the society about wind energy. In this respect, "minimum distance" criteria should be determined for the wind farm site selection to the areas where nature and human activities take place. "Cumulative effect" caused by the concentration of wind farms in a certain area should also be taken into consideration. Finally, public participation during these processes and being informed is urgent.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Building a Framework for Analysing the Quality of Life at Neighbourhood Level: an Empirical Case From Ankara(Penerbit Univ Sains Malaysia, 2020) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi; Gungordu, Nazda; Orhan, EzgiThis article aims to analyse the indicators of quality of life (QoL) in a regeneration area in line with the subjective evaluations of neighbourhood residents. To this end, a total of 359 respondents were selected by random sampling in the Akpinar neighbourhood, Ankara, Turkey which was inhabited by squatter settlements and subjected to urban regeneration resulting in a substantial change in its physical, social, spatial and demographic structure. The neighbourhood was challenged by a landslide after the urban regeneration which affected the satisfaction levels of residents and constituted a contradiction for regeneration efforts. It is hypothesised that the QoL of neighbourhood residents is affected by the factors of quality of the built environment, public spaces, social environment, natural environment, services and facilities and safety. The findings indicate that neighbourhood level QoL is positively associated with the width of streets, adequacy of parking lots, adequacy of cultural facilities, adequacy of sewage and drainage systems, discreetness of inhabitants and peace and calmness in the neighbourhood. The present research contributes to the development of a more comprehensive schema for regeneration practices by considering both objective and subjective indicators and by revealing the importance of the public space's influence on the QoL for urban residents.Article Citation - WoS: 1Investigating the "ruins of Modernity" of the City: the Case of Stone Ateliers, Denizli(Kare Publ, 2016) Orhan, EzgiThe city planning and architecture had been used as the instruments of the young regime in making itself visible, concrete, and symbolized. The buildings and urban plans transmitting the foundation ideals of Republic together with modernity have contributed to the creation of national sovereignty and a modern society. Divergence from the planning and architectural approach to that period and becoming the target of the political structure of particularly post 2000s caused the formation of a new expression in space. Yusuf Batur Vocational High School's Stone Ateliers have been one of the places enabling to read the process; it was symbolized with early Republican Period, left in time, and finally intended to be deleted from the social memory by collapsing. This paper focuses on the transformation process of Denizli Stone Ateliers to the ruins of modernity by investigating its symbolic meaning and spatial structure.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Collaboration in Bologna Process: the Experience of Department of Interior Architecture in Cankaya University(Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Sakarya, A.
