1960s Tax Law and Non-Muslim Exodus From Istanbul: Turkification of the City
(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Akpınar, İpek; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
This chapter discusses the urban consequences of the expulsion of Istanbul Greeks in 1964. It demonstrates the urban impact of the 16 March 1964 decree that terminated the residence of 12, 000 Greek passport holders in Istanbul (a population of 40, 000 with their relatives), who were given 24 hours to leave the city and allowed to carry only 20 kilograms of belongings or US$22 with them. The event also alarmed many other non-Muslim families to emigrate from Istanbul, while the city was receiving a large influx of immigrants from rural lands due to the growing industrialization and urbanization. Akpinar discusses the urban planning interventions in Istanbul under the Menderes and subsequent governments throughout the 1950s and 1960s as ad-hoc or intentional steps toward Turkification, in which discrimination and the resulting emigration of Istanbul Greeks played a significant part. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Esra Akcan and Iftikhar Dadi; individual chapters, the contributors.

Gölde, günümüzdeki adıyla İncesu, Manisa İli, Kula İlçesi’ne bağlı kırsal bir yerleşimdir. Günümüzde nüfusunu büyük oranda kaybeden ve çoğunlukla yaşlıların yaşadığı yerleşim 19. yüzyıl boyunca ve 20. yüzyılın başında Müslüman Türk ve Ortodoks Rumların ortak yaşam alanı olmuştur. Savaş sonrasında Rumların yerleşimi terk etmesinin ardından zaman içerisinde köyden kentlere doğru artan göç hareketleriyle Gölde büyük ölçüde nüfus kaybına uğramış, buna bağlı olarak da yapılı çevrede bir dönemki ortak yaşama dair izler yok olmaya başlamıştır. Bu çalışma, Gölde’de iki topluluğun birlikte yaşadığı dönemi; Osmanlı arşiv vesikaları, sözlü tarih çalışmaları ve saha incelemelerinden gelen veriler ışığında çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Büyük oranda özgünlüğünü koruyarak günümüze gelebilen yapılı çevre ile sözlü tarih çalışmaları ekonomik ve sosyal hayatı anlamanın yanında, yüzyıl dönümündeki fiziksel çevreyi de anlamamıza olanak sağlamaktadır. Osmanlı arşiv belgeleri yapılı çevreye dair bilgi vermemekle birlikte 19. yüzyılın özellikle ilk yarısındaki ekonomik ve sosyal durumun değişimini aktarmaktadır. Bu veriler aynı zamanda sözlü görüşmelerden gelen çoğu bilginin yorumlanmasına olanak sağlamaktadır. Bu sebeple metin içerisinde kronolojik bir sıra takip edilmemiş, yüzyıl dönümüne odaklanılmış, gerekli yerlerde 19. yüzyıla ait arşiv verileri çağırılarak sözlü görüşmelerden ve alan çalışmasından gelen bilgilerle birlikte değerlendirilmiştir.

The Accelerating Effects of the Microorganisms on Biodeterioration of Stone Monuments Under Air Pollution and Continental-Cold Climatic Conditions in Erzurum, Turkey
(Elsevier Ltd., 2006-07) Nuhoğlu, Yaşar; Ensar, Oğuz; Uslu, Hakan; Özbek, Ahmet; İpekoğlu, Başak; Ocak, İjlal; Hasenekoğlu, İsmet; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
The aim of this research was to determine the accelerating effects of microorganisms on the biodeterioration of stone under air pollution and continental-cold climatic region in Erzurum, Turkey. Studies have been carried out on specimens of the Rustempasa Bazaar, the Lalapasa Mosque, the Erzurum Castle Mosque, the Double Minarets-Madrasah, the Great Mosque and the Haji Mehmet Fountain aged from 441 to 823 years old. The results showed that vegetative and reproductive (generative) forms of the microorganisms could develop during the winter months when the night time average temperature was even - 25 °C. Also the reproductive forms had developed and the whole stone surface was covered with a biofilm caused by the microorganisms. Silicon, aluminum, calcium, potassium, titanium, magnesium, zinc, sulfur, iron, sodium, and niobium were found in the stones of the historical buildings with varying amounts through the SEM-EDS analysis. Some of these elements could be used as an energy resource for the microorganisms together with the air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particles on the stone surfaces. Of 21 isolates, 15 species from 6 bacterium genera and 5 species from 5 fungi genera plus 1 fungi genera were identified on the deteriorated stone surfaces even during the coldest months by microbial identification system (MIS) and these findings were tested by SEM investigations.

Accessibility in Intensive Care Units: a Qualitative Study on Exploring Architects’ Perspective
(İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, 2023) Khoojıne, Negar Sioofy; Kasalı, Altuğ; Bayar, Mualla Erkılıç; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
Thisstudyaddresseshealthcaredesigners’perspectivesconcerningthearchitectural features within the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) environments that can impact visual and physical access to patients. In line with patient-centered approaches, providing accessible environments in ICUs is becoming increasingly critical for healthcare providers. The existing literature suggests various architectural features to influence levels of access to patients. How architects prioritize these features and translate them into the configuration of ICU environments has not been explored extensively. A series of semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand the perspectives of healthcare architects in the context of Turkey. The interviews were conducted with twelve participants with recent experiences in ICU design. The research followed a thematic analysis to link the qualitative data with the participants’ drawings that emerged during interviews. Five essential themes emerged, including: “Unit Model,” “Unit Layout,” “Unit Size,” “Bed Position,” and “Transparent Material.” The participants implied configurational models, including “open ward” and “single-patient room,” to facilitate high levels of accessibility. Beyond the key decisions concerning layouts, the participants also emphasized the strategic use of transparent materials, which was considered critical in establishing visual access within units. The findings suggest that healthcare architects mostly favor open wards as a suitable model to provide high levels of physical access by decreasing nurses’ walking distances during shifts and visual accessibility by enhancing nurses’ capacity to supervise the patients within ICU environments. The findings can advance our understanding of how the issue of access is formulated and implemented in ICU settings.

In the coming decades, climate change will be one of the most significant challenges for urban areas. The quantity, duration and intensity of events, such as flash rains and heat waves, will increase the vulnerability of urban regions while exposing citizens to potentially dangerous conditions. According to the current literature, mainstreaming resilience in urban planning means designing rules that strengthen urban systems’ adaptive and self-regulating functions by reducing their vulnerability. In this work, we aimed to build knowledge for the application of the sponge district concept to Izmir (Türkiye), one of Europe’s most vulnerable areas to pluvial flooding. To do this, we first analyzed the runoff in each urban sub-watershed, then employed a composite index to determine potential areas of intervention for nature-based solutions. Results show that 10% of Izmir’s urban areas are extremely vulnerable to cloudbursts, which means that 40% of the urban population is exposed to this phenomenon. Moreover, the runoff calculation in the sub-watershed demonstrated that the potential flood volume is underestimated, especially in the upslope areas. The results can be used as a template to suggest a stepwise approach to mainstream the resilience of densely-inhabited coastal urban catchments.

(2023) Akyol, Gamze; Avcı, Ali Berkay; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
The protection of cultural heritage is very important for preserving the historical heritage of societies and for the continuation of cultural diversity. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has opened new horizons for innovative and efficient protection methods in this field. This study examines literature examples of applications of artificial intelligence in the preservation of cultural heritage, focusing on its impact on the digitization, documentation, analysis, restoration and preservation of cultural artifacts and historical sites. Artificial intelligence technologies are revolutionizing the digitization and documentation of cultural heritage assets. Automated scanning, 3D modeling, and virtual reality applications facilitate the creation of accurate digital copies, increasing accessibility for researchers, educators, and the public. In the field of conservation, artificial intelligence algorithms play a crucial role in identifying damage and formulating targeted restoration plans for deteriorated artifacts and structures. Using AI, image recognition and pattern detection, it assists experts in preserving sensitive artworks and archaeological items. AI also contributes to the protection of cultural heritage sites by addressing physical effects through environmental monitoring. AI-powered sensors and data analytics detect potential risks such as temperature changes, humidity fluctuations and air pollution, enabling timely response to reduce environmental impacts. Thanks to artificial intelligence, necessary precautions can be taken before existing or potential risks damage the heritage. In conclusion, AI applications in cultural heritage preservation represent a significant advance in the conservation and reintegration of collective heritage. By balancing technological innovation with ethical concerns, cultural heritage can be preserved in a sustainable and inclusive way for future generations.

Alienated and Politicized? Young Planners’ Confrontation With Entrepreneurial and Authoritarian State Intervention in Urban Development in Turkey
(Routledge, 2016-06-02) Penpecioğlu, Mehmet; Taşan Kok, Tuna; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
Planning in Turkey is dominated by powerful market interests and authoritarian state regulation, resulting in a conflictual socio-political environment. Caught in the crossfire between interventionist urban policies and a planning education system that is oriented towards the public good, planners have come to feel alienated from their work. This paper considers how young planners respond to these challenges, drawing upon questionnaires and semi-structured in-depth interviews with planners with fewer than 10 years of experience. Their confrontation with entrepreneurial and authoritarian state interventions in urban development alienates them from their ideals, leading them to explore new ways of dealing with increasing political authority and economic neoliberalism. The participants of the study came up with a number of diverse responses related to this process. Disappointed with the practice of their profession ‘lost planners' begin searching for alternative pathways outside their practice towards a more meaningful society. In contrast, ‘profiteer planners' focus on getting more business and play a conformist and opportunistic role in the existing planning practice; while ‘struggling planners' develop alternative ways to pursue the public good by participating in urban movements. In short, they cope with alienation through politicization, solidarity and the identification of new means of engaging with society.

In this study, chemical and mineralogical compositions, physical, microstructural and pozzolanic properties of Roman Period building bricks taken from Kizil Avlu (Serapeum) in Pergamon and from several different buildings from ancient sites of Aigai and Nysa were determined by using XRF, XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDS and chemical analyses. Chemical compositions of bricks were evaluted by statistical analyses in order to identify whether or not these bricks were manufactured by using same natural raw material sources. Analyses results indicated that Roman period building bricks were manufactured by using calcium rich clay sources and fired at low temperatures (<900°C). Brick samples were mainly composed of quartz, albite, anorthite, muscovite and hematite. Statistically significant differences found in their chemical compositions revealed that local raw material sources were selected for the manufacturing of historic brick samples belonging to different cities.

Analysing Visual Pattern of Skin Temperature During Submaximal and Maximal Exercises
(Elsevier Ltd., 2016-01) Balcı, Görkem Aybars; Başaran, Tahsin; Çolakoğlu, Muzaffer; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
Aims of this study were to examine our hypotheses assuming that (a) skin temperature patterns would differ between submaximal exercise (SE) and graded maximal exercise test (GXT) and (b) thermal kinetics of Tskin occurring in SE and GXT might be similar in a homogenous cohort. Core temperature (Tcore) also observed in order to evaluate thermoregulatory responses to SE and GXT. Eleven moderately to well-trained male athletes were volunteered for the study (age: 22.2 ± 3.7 years; body mass: 73.8 ± 6.9 kg; height: 181 ± 6.3 cm; body surface area 1.93 ± 0.1 m2; body fat: 12.6% ± 4.2%; VÌ‡O2 max: 54 ± 9.9 mL min-1 kg-1). Under stabilized environmental conditions in climatic chamber, GXT to volitional exhaustion and 20-min SE at 60% of VO2 max were performed on cycle ergometer. Thermal analyses were conducted in 2-min intervals throughout exercise tests. Tskin was monitored by a thermal camera, while Tcore was recorded via an ingestible telemetric temperature sensor. Thermal kinetic analyses showed that Tskin gradually decreased till the 7.58 ± 1.03th minutes, and then initiated to increase till the end of SE (Rsqr = 0.97), while Tskin gradually decreased throughout the GXT (Rsqr = 0.89). Decrease in the level of Tskin during the GXT was significantly below from the SE [F (4, 40) = 2.67, p = 0.07, ηp 2 = 0.211]. In the meantime, Tcore continuously increased throughout the SE and GXT (p < 0.05). Both GXT and SE were terminated at very close final Tcore values (37.8 ± 0.3 °C and 38.0 ± 0.3 °C, respectively; p > 0.05). However, total heat energies were calculated as 261.5 kJ/m2 and 416 kJ/m2 for GXT and SE, respectively (p < 0.05). Thus, it seems that SE may be more advantageous than GXT in thermoregulation. In conclusion, Tcore gradually increased throughout maximal and submaximal exercises as expected. Tskin curves patterns found to be associated amongst participants at both GXT and SE. Therefore, Tskin kinetics may ensure an important data for monitoring thermoregulation in exercise.

(Common Ground Research Networks, 2019) Aydın, Mahmut Ferit; Erkarslan, Önder; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
This study explores and analyzes recent design-driven innovation (DDI) practices in the furniture industries in Turkey and Sweden.2 The study was conducted in three phases: an in-depth literature review; the identification and selection of furniture companies; and analysis of the selected companies based on the strategic, operational, market-entry and organizational dimensions. We used case-study methods and conducted semi-structured interviews with designers and design managers of leading furniture companies from Turkey (Nurus, Ersa, Burotime, and Tuna Ofis) and Sweden (Offecct and Skandiform). Through cross-case analysis of national outcomes, we propose additional drivers to DDI theory, such as product segmentation, activity research, culture research and concept/designer research. The results of this study are crucial for all parties involved, as they suggest ways to achieve incremental and radical design-driven innovations. © Common Ground Research Networks, M.

Analysis of the Relationship Between Daylight Illuminance and Cognitive, Affective and Physiological Changes in Visual Display Terminal Workers
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2019-12) Öner, Merve; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Leccese, F.; Salvadori, G.; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
This study explored the impact of daylight illuminance on cognitive load during visual display terminal use by means of various physiological, performance and subjective measures. Repeated-measures design was adopted to identify the impact of variations in daylight levels that were manipulated through the shading system configurations (shading-on; shading-off). A total of 30 subjects performed visual and cognitive demanding tests. Performance measures were supported by subjective data and eye-related measures during the experimental analysis. Results revealed that the use of a shading system had positive impact on sustained attention. Concerning ocular measures, percentage of eye closure values showed opposite tendencies among vigilance and sustained attention demanding tests. Eye aspect ratio-max and blink duration were significantly correlated with reported glare sensation. In all tests, eye aspect ratio-max was found significantly higher in lower illuminances. Search velocity was significantly correlated with ocular variables in higher illuminances whereas sustained attention showed an opposite trend. This, initially, explains that even slight differences in daylight illuminance might have distinctive effects on the relationship between different groups of assessment variables while measuring cognitive load. Secondly, it proves the significance of carrying out sensitive experiments in terms of both light levels and test characteristics.
An Analysis of Vehicular Traffic Flow Using Langevin Equation
(Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, University of Zagreb, 2015-01) Koşun, Çağlar; Çelik, Hüseyin Murat; Özdemir, Serhan; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
Traffic flow data are stochastic in nature, and an abundance of literature exists thereof. One way to express stochastic data is the Langevin equation. Langevin equation consists of two parts. The first part is known as the deterministic drift term, the other as the stochastic diffusion term. Langevin equation does not only help derive the deterministic and random terms of the selected portion of the city of Istanbul traffic empirically, but also sheds light on the underlying dynamics of the flow. Drift diagrams have shown that slow lane tends to get congested faster when vehicle speeds attain a value of 25 km/h, and it is 20 km/h for the fast lane. Three or four distinct regimes may be discriminated again from the drift diagrams; congested, intermediate, and free-flow regimes. At places, even the intermediate regime may be divided in two, often with readiness to congestion. This has revealed the fact that for the selected portion of the highway, there are two main states of flow, namely, congestion and free-flow, with an intermediate state where the noise-driven traffic flow forces the flow into either of the distinct regimes. © 2015, Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering.

An Analysis of Visitors’ Perceptions of Shopping Malls †
(MDPI, 2023) Çavka, Hasan Burak; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
Shopping malls have been a significant part of our daily lives for decades. Their significance is derived from the use of these spaces based on great numbers of people, as well as the role malls play in culture. On the other hand, the design of malls has been constantly evolving according to the needs of users and the market. This study is based on survey data that we collected from ninety visitors of a shopping mall located in Izmir, Turkiye. Through the survey, we collected data on topics such as the participants’ visit frequency and reasons for visiting the mall, architectural and spatial features they favor and/or dislike, their opinions on where they perceive malls in everyday life, and their opinions on alternative spaces to malls. The data collection was finalized right before the pandemic, which significantly changed the way we think about public spaces, as well as malls, in relation to architecture. Analyzing collected data provides further insight into surveyed customers’ perception of spaces, the design of shopping malls, the use of the space, the preferred design features, as well as design features that drive customers away from the mall. The analysis was later compared and linked to studies in the literature. These research findings have the potential to be used in studies that evaluate mall design and space use, as well as in studies that compare the post-pandemic perception of spaces and the use of shopping malls. © 2023 by the author.

Analyzing Housing Price Determinants in Izmir Using Spatial Models
(Elsevier, 2022-12) Sayın, Zeynep Melike; Elburz, Zeynep; Duran, Hasan Engin; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture
The vast majority of the studies on house price dynamics focus on either structural/locational/demographic variables in a cross-sectional setting (i.e., hedonic price modeling) or on the impact of macroeconomic fundamentals in a time series framework. In this work, we argue that both approaches fall short of providing adequate information as cross-sectional analyses largely ignore the macro-dynamics, whereas time series approaches fail to incorporate the cross-sectional dimension. Current work combines both dimensions in a panel framework and provides, in this way, a methodological contribution as well as more informative analyses as it captures the impact of a wide array of variables. Thus, this study examines the housing prices in Izmir/Turkey by adopting the above-mentioned dimensions with both panel and spatial panel regressions. The study area consists of 212 neighborhoods located in different districts of Izmir. The period of analysis covers 30 months between 2017 and 2019. As an outcome of the empirical analyses, both structural/demographic, and macroeconomic variables were found evidently important. Hence, it is understood that all dimensions (structural/locational/demographic, macroeconomic) should be incorporated into comprehensive modeling. A high spatial dependence and positive spatial spillover effects were also detected.

While preschool education contributes to children being more successful individuals with high quality of life in the continuation of their education life, it also emerges as an important factor in women's (mother’s) participation in the labor force. In this respect, preschool education is considered a social policy tool in our country and in the world. This study examines the accessibility of preschools to the neighborhoods in Konak District of İzmir Province in terms of physical and social accessibility at two geographical levels (district and neighborhood) and by using various tools of Geographic Information Systems. In the first stage, the Konak District scale, physical accessibility was evaluated with the geographical location and opportunities of preschools, age groups of the neighborhoods, educational-based features, and purchasing power, the general topographic slope of the area, and service areas of the preschools by network analysis. In the second stage of the study, the social and physical accessibility of preschools is evaluated in terms of educational and spatial opportunities offered by schools, monthly fees, cost of accessing schools by public transportation, and travel time. The study was concluded with evaluations and suggestions for the location of preschools in terms of physical and social accessibility.
