Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Coexistence of Urban Nightlife Activities With Residential Areas: a Mixed-Use Neighborhood Case From Denizli, Türkiye(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2025) Orhan, Ezgi; Yilmaz, Gokce; Bayrak, Ozlem Turker; Türker Bayrak, Özlem; Yllmaz, GökçeSince the relationship between work and leisure has been reorganized as an outcome of postmodern everyday life, the nighttime has been a brightened subject for the local development agenda and revitalization policies of decayed urban centers. Even though the night activities accompanied by the leisure and entertainment industry have been prioritized to meet the increasing demand, their amalgamation with residential uses tends to lead to contradictory consequences, and the preservation of residents' quality of life needs tailored policies. Departing from the conflictive demands on urban nightscape, this study aims to reveal the satisfaction of entrepreneurs and residents coexisting in a neighborhood. To show the social, spatial, and temporal impacts of the extension of nocturnal activities, empirical research was conducted at the neighborhood level in Denizli, T & uuml;rkiye, data from 50 firms through snowball sampling were gathered through in-depth interviews and questionnaires, and a sample of 140 households were selected through stratified random sampling. For the analytical procedure, in addition to the descriptive statistics indicating business and household profiles, satisfaction levels with doing night business and residing in the neighborhood were inquired. Findings suggested that entertainment enterprises tended to cluster in newly developed areas to benefit from the proximity advantages to customers and support the expansion of central districts, and residents showed high satisfaction levels from the vitality ignited by night activities. Also, residents' overall satisfaction was found to be associated with the economic effects of nightlife and their attachment to the neighborhood. A policy frame is presented for socially sustainable nighttime activities targeting potential investors and decision makers and for preventing the old core's decay.Editorial Challenges of the (Anti) Adaptive Urbanization in Multiple Scales(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2023) Orhan, Ezgi; Lotfata, AynazConference Object Citation - WoS: 7Urban Spatial Structuring Following Disasters: Empirical Findings From Location Choices of Businesses in Adapazari, Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Orhan, EzgiThis study argues that ignorance of businesses in disaster management systems from the point of spatial policies leads to deviations from initial recovery goals aiming to create a safer urban environment. Therefore, the paper examines the location choices of businesses in a disaster-stricken case from Turkey through an empirical research conducted after the 1999 Earthquake. In doing so, data were gathered from 232 firms in Adapazari city via a questionnaire to inquire about their location choices before and after the disaster and the reasons behind their strategy. Findings suggest that recovery goals at community level cannot be achieved without referring to the spatial decisions of businesses in hazard-prone areas. With regard to the findings of the study, policy recommendations are developed to guide post-disaster practises from a space-sensitive perspective by focusing on businesses.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Factors Affecting Post-Disaster Location Choices of Businesses: an Analysis of the 1999 Earthquake(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Orhan, EzgiDespite global policies advocating risk reduction and community level recovery, post-disaster implementations usually focus on households, but fail to focus on businesses in spatial terms. Due to the lack of appropriate policy and tools, businesses often make their own location choices as part of their recovery strategy. In view of this, this study aims to establish the factors affecting the location choices of businesses challenged by disasters in the absence of any specific spatial strategies designed for them. In order to determine these factors, empirical research was conducted in Adapazari, Turkey on 232 firms selected as a result of a stratified random sampling procedure. According to the analysis of the results, the most notable impacts on business location choices after a disaster shock are associated with occupancy status, education level, and extent of damage. In line with these findings, the impacts of business location choices are discussed to highlight the role of businesses in spatial decisions.
