Other Risk Toplumunu Yeniden Gözden Geçirmek: Covıd19’un Kent ve Toplum Üzerindeki Sorunlu Halleri(2021) Orhan, EzgiBu makale, COVID-19 salgının ardından küresel risk ortamının koşullarına ilişkin eleştirel bir değerlendirme sunmaktadır. Koronavirüs hastalığı tüm dünyaya yayılırken halk sağlığına dair öncelikler ile ekonomik uyum politikalarına dair alınan tedbirleri sorgulatmaktadır. Sosyal, politik ve ekonomik maliyetleriyle, toplumları zorluklara sürükleyen salgın konusu, bir sağlık sorunu olarak tanımlanmanın sınırlarını aşmış ve modernite ve kapitalist ekonomik sisteme dair yeni bir paradigmanın katalizörü haline gelmiştir. İnsan yaşamının her yönünde yarattığı yıkıcı etkileriyle, virüse ilişkin sorunlar bireyleri, ulusları ve küresel toplumu ‘risklerle yaşama’ yollarını düşünmeye yöneltmektedir. COVID-19’un ortaya koyduğu tehditten yola çıkan bu makale, geçmiş deneyimleri, mevcut durumu ve eğilimleri ‘risk toplumu’ kavramı üzerinden okuyarak, toplum, kent ve planlama ilişkilerini tartışmaktadır. Modernitenin, kapitalizmin ve halk sağlığı önceliklerinin tarihsel dinamiklerini yansıtarak, salgın sonrası dünya için farklı ölçeklerde toplumun yeni normallerine ışık tutmaktadır. Eleştirel değerlendirme yoluyla, bu makale risk toplumunun yeni aşamalarını bireysel, yerel, ulusal ve küresel ölçeklerde kavramsallaştırır ve her ölçeğin içerdiği ikilemi tasvir eder.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7Urban Hotel Location Determinants: Evidence From Ankara's Hotel Geography(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Orhan, EzgiThis paper argues that urban hotels have different characteristics and make location decisions based on this differentiation, which in turn affect to the urban spatial structure. To this end, the study examines the de-terminants of location choices of hotels and their spatial distribution in Ankara. A sample of 75 hotels operating in Ankara was selected through criterion sampling method and applied a questionnaire to identify their location determinants. Findings suggest that hotels with differentiated characteristics show variations in making their location choice, which leads to a shift in gravity of the city and promotes spatial segregation among the central districts of the city. The overall assessment provides evidence on the increasing importance of the new devel-opment districts in hotel locations and the decreasing role of old town in the market competition which ne-cessitates the development of local policies targeting the improvement of central district with the lens of hotel geography. Verification of the hypothesis by the case study will fill the gap in literature that has not yet been addressed in Turkey's cities context in the framework of the planning discipline.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Locational Attributes of the Lodging Industry: an Empirical Study on Urban Hotels in Ankara, Turkey(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Orhan, EzgiProviding temporary accommodation for visitors, hotels usually make permanent location choices as a strategic managerial decision. This study is shaped around the research question of how urban hotels appreciate their locational attributes considering their operationality. By this way, it is aimed at establishing the location de-cisions of urban hotels, and the interaction between their spatial distribution and urban space. A structured questionnaire was conveyed to a sample of 75 hotels operating in Ankara city to inquire about their locational attributes. Results show that hotels commonly accompany with the business functions and their operability are affected from the urban spatial structure. The analysis provides a basis to discuss the attributes of urban location on the business operations of lodging industry by presenting an empirical assessment, and an insight to both potential entrepreneurs and decision-makers in developing a policy framework for hotel investors' needs, de-mands, and site-specific problems.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.
