    Student Participation in Bologna Process: a Case Study From Turkey
    (Fac Teacher Education, 2014) Kahraman, Zerrin Ezgi; Kahraman, Z. Ezgi; Sakarya, Arif Orçun; Sakarya, A. Orcun; Orçun Sakarya, A.; Şehir ve Bölge Planlama; İşletme
    Bologna Process studies in Cankaya University's Interior Architecture Department (INAR), Turkey have been initiated in 2008. The goal of this study is to explore students' perceptions about the new programme outcomes framed with the Turkish Higher Education Qualifications Framework and to provide a set of guidelines for the Bologna Process to be implemented. A questionnaire including semi-structured questions is conducted in the data collection process. Content analysis method is used in order to examine students' perceptual outcomes. The findings of the study display that students' perceptions underline the importance of the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competences in social, economic and managerial dimensions of the professional life. Results also reveal the need of students for the acquisition and use of communicative, collaborative and interdisciplinary aspects of the profession and their expectations on both theoretical and practical contents of INAR courses. Furthermore, this study which mainly followed a student-cantered approach concluded that it is also possible to generalize new programme outcomes through the active participation of students.

    Decoding the Impact of Covid-19 on Everyday Life Practices of Syrian Refugees: an Investigation at the Neighbourhood Level
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi Haliloglu; Haliloğlu Kahraman, Z. Ezgi
    This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at the neighbourhood level on the everyday life practices of Syrian refugees and the potential reasons for virus transmission in their settlements. It is based on fieldwork in an ethnic enclave of Ankara, which revealed comparative insights into everyday life practices of Syrians before and after the outbreak, their perceptions, reactions and strategies towards the pandemic and its countermeasures. Their religious beliefs, socio-cultural structure, social networks and economic struggles have significant effects on their perceptions and practices in pandemic times; together with their living and working conditions, this may create risks of virus transmission. The degradation in their employment status, interruptions in donations and increase in expenditures resulted in decreases in living standards. The outbreak, negatively influencing their use of public services and some parts of social life created new inequalities and stressors but empowered their social support system and virtual networking capacities.

    Understanding the Local Dynamics of Syrian Refugee Integration Through the Eyes of Refugees and Local Residents: the Case of the Onder Neighbourhood, Ankara
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi Haliloglu; Gungordu, Feriha Nazda; Haliloğlu Kahraman, Z. Ezgi
    As the civil war in Syria continues and the displaced Syrians continue to become 'urban refugees' in their settled (host) countries since 2011, policy/political attention has shifted to refugee emplacement and integration. Despite the growing policy-oriented literature on integration, limited attention has gone to developing actor-oriented approaches to uncover the local dynamics of refugee integration by giving a voice to both refugees and local people. Attempting to address this gap in the literature, this article presents the views of Syrian refugees and local people on the integration process through the findings of a case study conducted in the onder neighbourhood of Ankara, Turkey; known as 'Little Aleppo.' The findings portray the social, economic, political and spatial dimensions of Syrians' integration at the local level from both parties' perspectives and reveal the local drivers of and barriers to Syrians' integration in Onder.

    Sustainable Conservation of Cultural Landscape and Changing Values Around Haci Bayram Mosque and Augustus Temple, Ankara, Turkey
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2019) Aytekin, Oznur
    Urban transformation is the overall strategy and action set out to improve the physical, economic, social and environmental conditions of an urban space with comprehensive and integrated approaches, taking into account urban issues and needs. 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.

    Empowering the Community Through Participation and Action in Historic Neighbourhood Conservation Planning
    (Keai Publishing Ltd, 2022) Ataov, Anli; Kahraman, Z. Ezgi Haliloglu; Osmay, Sevin
    This paper presents an attempt to initiate community empowerment within the participatory neighbourhood upgrading context of the S,engul Hammam Neighbourhood (I_stiklal). We adopted the Participatory Action Research methodology, which aims to generate knowledge meaningful for the community towards upgrading and revitalizing the neighbourhood. Respectively, a series of workshops, focus groups, and community activities were implemented in parallel processes with different neighbourhood groups. In order to change the situation in the neighbourhood, the inquiry began by mobilizing neighbourhood stakeholders and planning the future with primary school children. Later, this gained the active support of parents, women, the municipality, local leaders, and civil associations, and led them to take collective action over garbage collection, cleaning up the neighbourhood and building a playground-park. The mayor at the time of the research showed interest in I_stiklal but did not or could not give any financial or political support to upgrade the physical setting as a whole. The lack of support from the municipality in that regard and the neighbourhood being left to its own destiny caused a gradual dilapidation and loss of historic and cultural values.

    A New Framework for a Resilience-Based Disaster Risk Management
    (Springer International Publishing, 2021) Galderisi, A.; Altay-Kaya, D.
    This chapter aims at providing hints to improve existing frameworks for disaster risk management based on a review of the main documents framing disaster management within the last two and a half decades and with reference to the potential contribution of resilience thinking. The evolution path of disaster risk management shows that, although some progresses have been made, there are still numerous gaps to be filled. On the opposite, focusing on the increasing convergence of resilience and disaster studies, it emerges that a resilience-based approach could still provide significant theoretical and operational inputs towards an improved disaster risk management. In particular, this chapter emphasizes the potential contribution of resilience thinking in developing a new framework for guiding disaster risk management capable of (1) taking into consideration the rapidly changing risk landscapes due to the interplay between climate change and the consequent increase of hazardous events, urbanization patterns and the complex interrelationships among them; (2) shifting from sectoral approaches to disaster risk reduction (DRR) towards integrated approaches and cross-sectoral strategies and tools; (3) embracing transformational perspectives to significantly reduce disaster losses and achieve sustainability goals; (4) improving learning capacity through the setting up of continual learning processes; (5) emphasizing the role of spatial and land use planning for DRR; and (6) developing more innovative governance models based on collaboration, shared responsibility and active engagement of the stakeholders. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.

    Urban Hotel Location Determinants: Evidence From Ankara's Hotel Geography
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Orhan, Ezgi
    This 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.

    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Orhan, Ezgi
    Providing 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.
