Article Changes and Problems of Conservation in Ankara-Ulus Historical City Center: Koyunpazari Slope and Atpazari Square(Konya Technical Univ, Fac Architecture & design, 2021) Karakus, Filiz; Urak, Z. GedizPurpose In this study, the settlement located in Koyunpazari Slope and Hisar (Atpazari) Square, which has an important position in the Atpazari-Koyunpazari-Samanpazari area, which is the oldest part of the Ankara-Ulus Historical City Center, was examined in a way to include Cengelhan and Cukurhan. With this study, it is aimed to determine the changes and conservation problems in the field and to give direction to the changes planned for the future in the area. Design/Methodology/Approach Analysis and evaluation studies conducted in 1998 have been repeated in the mentioned area. Research and surveys have been conducted on the number of buildings in the area, the number of floors, the physical conditions of the buildings, the number of sub-units, types of activities, ownership status, frequency of purchasing goods, types of transportation, spatial competence, infrastructure competencies and future expectations of the working population. Findings As a result of these studies, the changes and problems occurred in the period from 1998 to 2020 have been determined. It has been observed that there are serious changes in the area due to cultural tourism, as in all over the world and in our country. The infrastructural deficiencies are the main problems identified in the area. Furthermore, it has been observed that the traffic problem has not been solved completely and also some buildings need repair. Research Limitations/Implications The fact that the field of study could not be expanded due to the application of the survey questions in the field of study in 1998 constitutes the limitations of this study. Social/Practical Implications With this study, it is aimed to draw attention to the conservation of the historical environment in Koyunpazari Street and Atpazari Square, which is an important point of the Ulus Historical City Center, and to create a social awareness about the preservation of the area in question. Originality/Value This study is significant as it discusses the conservation problems in one of the oldest areas of Ankara and aims to give direction to future changes in the field by formulating proposals for the solution of these problems.Article 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: 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 - WoS: 1Addressing Earthquake Risk and Climate Crisis Together in Spatial Planning(Kare Publ, 2021) Orhan, Ezgi; Peker, EnderCities' 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.Article Citation - WoS: 6Kentsel Dönüşümü Gündeme Gelen Bir Alan İçin Konut Memnuniyeti Araştırması: Türk-iş Blokları Örneği(2017) Özdemir, Suna Senem; Kahraman, Zerrin EzgiBu çalışmada bir işçi kooperatifi tarafından inşa edilmiş, Ankara Altındağ Belediyesi Altınpark Mahallesi sınırları içinde bulunan Türk-işBlokları’nda konut memnuniyeti ve kentsel dönüşüme ilişkin eğilim incelenmiştir. Alan 2013 yılında riskli alan ilan edilmiştir. Dönüşümüsözkonusu olan alandan ve mevcut konutlardan hangi unsurlar dolayısıyla memnun olunup olunmadığı ve kullanıcıların kentsel dönüşümü isteyip istemedikleri yapılan saha araştırması ile ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın veri toplama yöntemini alanda yaşayanlarla gerçekleştirilen derinlemesine mülakatlar ve anketler oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada konuta, konut çevresine ve konut kullanıcılarınadair nitelikler açısından bir sorgulama gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular yaşanılan konutlardan ve alandan memnun olanların oranının oldukçayüksek olduğunu, bu memnuniyetin yaş ve oturma süresi arttıkça arttığını göstermektedir. Nüfusun homojen ve istikrarlı oluşu konutlarınıihtiyaçlarına göre düzenlemelerine, alanda mekânsal, sosyal ve duygusal bir bağ kurulmasına imkân vermiştir. Mahalle kimliğine sahipalanın en güçlü yanları komşuluk ilişkileri, kentsel hizmetlerin erişilebilirliği, yeterliliği ve yeşil alan dokusudur. Konutlarda tesisat, alandaise spor/kültür tesislerinin yetersizliği ve son zamanlarda gündeme gelen güvenlik ve otopark sorunu dışında memnun olunmayan birkonu yoktur. Alanda kentsel dönüşüm isteyenlerin oranı istemeyenlerin oranından düşüktür. Dönüşümün gerçekleşmesini isteyenlerin isedönüşümden beklentileri oldukça yüksektir. Mevcuttaki mekânsal imkânların korunması kaydıyla dönüşümün alandaki ve konutlardakitüm sorunları çözeceği, konforlu ve lüks bir yaşam sunacağı ve haksahiplerinin ekonomik pozisyonlarını iyileştireceği algısı yaygındır.
