Universities comprise buildings in which education, teaching, research and practice are undertaken as well as physical structures with social and cultural activity spaces. They've a constantly evolving and changing structure in parallel to an increase in the number of students and the educational structures. Increasing number of physical structures result in failure to meet students' requirements for open space. Nevertheless, university campuses should ensure that students who do not know each other get to know each other and get used to the environment to which they are strangers by providing students with common living spaces. For this reason, it was considered to redesign an outdoor area (festival area) in Karadeniz technical university campus, where students can perform their extracurricular activities and increase their social relations with one another. As a result of the literature review, it was seen that most of the studies are either carried out only to design successful outdoor spaces for the needs of the users or the spaces designed by other people are assessed after use. Consequently, it was determined that there are certain deficits in determining whether the spaces designed in line with the decisions made by the researcher fulfil user needs. For this reason, it was aimed in this study to make the post-use evaluation of the production process after the outdoor design process of a campus outdoor space is completed by the researcher. The present study was conducted in Kanuni Park (festival area) in main campus of Karadeniz Technical University, which is currently used as a parking lot only and sometimes used as a concert venue at certain times of the year. The objective of the study was to realize spatial organization of the said study area so that it meets the students' needs and requirements, serves as a space where various activities take place, and provides facilities for a variety of uses (affordance) on a continuous basis, rather than at certain times of the year. Therefore, programming/design/construction/occupancy/post occupancy evaluation processes which comprise spatial development process were performed within Kanuni Park and such processes were evaluated.

The significance of public space is indispensable in every country. It is based on the traditional legal concept of public and thus general use. Essentially, it concerns spaces accessible to everyone irrespective of the ownership of this space. In contemporary Czech legislation, for instance, the concept of public space is not anchored. In practice, it is particularly used in an indirect form for some legal acts of municipalities aimed at limiting activities or drawing up charges for use. Public areas, public space, however, have indispensable significance for laying line structures of technical infrastructure determining the operational function of buildings and their sets. Besides classic public technical infrastructure, public space often also includes other elements of technical structures, such as internal water mains and sewers, natural gas and electric power distribution lines, etc. The public area issue can be demonstrated in a case study, which is the university campus of Technical University of Ostrava in the Czech Republic. The paper focuses on defining positive and negative aspects of public space used in this way for the public, its owner, and the potential of risks resulting from it. In the final part of the basic scope, the paper implies in which ways and by which means the risk can be mitigated. In order to find the optimal results of the analysis, it is always necessary to use a suitable method that identifies both the probability and the extent of adverse consequences resulting from the activity, equipment or system in question. For the technical infrastructure, answering the question, "what can go wrong? how likely is it? and what will be the consequences ?”. Among other methods, the FMEA, FMECA method used in the risk analysis of this issue meets these requirements.
Joining the Open Spaces of State Buildings to the Public Spaces in the City
Manzar the scientific journal of landscape, 2016
| The urban landscape is the main influential factor in the citizens' mindset about a city. Communal spaces are the most significant subsidiaries of the urban landscape as a basis for the formation of citizens' collective memories, and almost all the criteria which qualify the urban life are visible in these spaces. In this paper, the lack of public and collective spaces in the dense areas of Tehran's center has been emphasized. Then according to the principles of infill development, the suitable land use for endogenous development will be discussed. In the end, the area of administrative offices placed in the central contexture of Tehran is examined as an option based on endogenous development for infill development projects and shifting to semi-public space. Ownership, incompatibility in the usage of contiguous lands, and management practices in semi-public space are explored as three outstanding issues. In this research, descriptive and analytic methods and also library studies have been used.
Paper presented at Space Syntax International Symposium, 2013
Qualities of the campus as a place and its role as a space for different types of interactions have been discussed in the literature as important parameters of academic life (Kumar, 1997;. Although how the spatial organization of campus generates interaction has generally been discussed within the scope of knowledge production, there is a body of research concentrating on the role of spatial configuration and land use decisions for the enhancement of In this paper we aim to contribute to this literature by analyzing the Aegean University (Ege Universitesi) Campus in Izmir, Turkey.
Campus: University or a Modern Urban Structure
Civil Engineering and Architecture, 2022
Modern cities face a range of problems, such as the need to redevelop inefficiently used former industrial territories, traffic congestion in cities, air, water and soil pollution and the disappearance of cities' last remaining natural areas. These issues require rethinking methods for the redevelopment and renovation of city districts. The campus model for the formation of sustainable territorial units in a city is set to replace conventional zoning (residential area, industrial area, city centre, recreational area). In campus structures, like in university campuses, everything is grouped together: residential and recreational facilities, schools and workplaces. Meanwhile, the environment, with elements of an individually-branded design code, is an area for likeminded people (residents of the campus) to interact. New social and economic models, as well as new global ideas, contribute to the appearance of new campus city blocks and micro- and macro-structures that are comparable to smart cities – the showcases of contemporary intellectual communities. In such urban areas, nature also plays a different role: it ceases to be a passive background, a means of featureless landscaping based on standard principles. The present research offers a description, analysis and classification of campus urban structures, based on the preliminary study of historical types of landscape organization in university campuses. Based on comparative historical analysis and experimental modeling, it distinguishes five types of the architectural and landscape organization of campuses: the enclosed model, the communicative model, the podium model, the nature-oriented model and the nature-equivalent model. In nature-equivalent campuses, nature becomes the main participant in the environment. Such urban structures become natural elements themselves, as they become parts of the ecosystem: environmentally safe, sustainable and self-regulating components of the natural and anthropogenic global landscape. The material laid out in the present research is of practical importance for students of architecture and campus designers.
00 PM2 : 30 PM The development of the concept of “ public space ” in
2019
The term “public space”, also known as urban space is a pretty old phrase, but was used as e concept with a clear definition during the modern era. The evolution of this term is well known in Tirana, because of its constant development especially in the recent projects. The first attempts started in 1914, but by that time there did not exist a real concept of the public space, which accordingly was affected by the citizens’ lifestyle. Public spaces in Tirana have changed a lot since then by recreating the concept of “public use”. There are many examples of squares, streets and parks which have gone through the process of change over the years and have affected people’s lives. Our project is an example of some small neighborhood squares that have turned into landmarks in Tirana. We finally came to the conclusion that the public space is one of the most important elements that represent a healthy and balanced life.
4 Detailed Analysis of Usage of Open Public Spaces in Modernist and Traditional Urban Blocks
Modernization of Public Spaces in Lithuanian Cities
This book chapter represents a detailed description of the methodology of sociotope mapping and implements the approach towards the modernist and traditional urban blocks of Kaunas which were either created or transformed by the modernization period in the second half of the 20th century. The chapter aims to identify and ascertain the transformation in the open public spaces after the Soviet period, and it analyses the reflection of it in the contemporary world. Furthermore, the chapter tries to provide the needed information regarding the districts which could not be analysed by the content analysis method in chapter 3 due insufficiency of the data. As it has been stated by the urban sociologist Oldenburg (1997)485, people need three types of places to live a fulfilled life. These places are: private places, workplaces which are connected with the economic engagement and the third places which are amorphous arenas used for reaffirming social bonds and community identities. In that regard, public spaces can be identified as the third type of place in people's lives where they find the possibility to interact with each other in a different environment. As it has been stated by Francis et al. (2012)486, public spaces are the places in a city where people meet and gather outside their home or workspace, which is freely accessible by the members of the public. Even though there are public spaces which are closed areas such as public libraries, shopping malls, etc, most of the time, places which are considered to be public spaces tend to be open-air places such as parks, beaches, public squares, streets, urban stairs, etc. which help people to interact with each other and socialise. According to Rogers (1999), urban public space should be understood as an openair room in a neighbourhood, where people can relax and enjoy the urban experience.487 Therefore, typically public spaces contain the desire to connect with nature and
OUTDOOR SPACE QUALITY: CASE STUDY OF A UNIVERSITY CAMPUS PLAZA
2008
This article studied the concept of campus plaza, i.e. the outdoor space of the Selcuk University located in Konya, Turkey. The objective of the study in which the survey, observation and photographic methods were used, was to examine the plaza as an outdoor space providing individual and social benefi ts to campus people and to determine the principles regarding the establishment of this space. Two hundred fortythree students participating in the survey were asked about the outdoor spaces they use in the campus area, the qualities of the plaza, their purposes and the frequency of plaza use, and a descriptive analysis was performed to determine the plaza's quality. Additionally, a correlation analysis was carried out to evaluate the relationship between the landscape accessory and the manner in which the users' senses were affected by the experienced space (profi les of the space). At the end of this study, two main components determining the campus plaza's quality were found: (i) qualities of the physical environment (climatic features, location of plaza, its relation with the surrounding structuring, pedestrian / vehicle relation in terms of accessibility, fi xed elements / equipment in the area, quality of open space area, quality of landscape accessory and area's being in good repair) (ii) user characteristics. User characteristics also comprised two quality criteria: (i) the behavioural and functional quality, (ii) the visual quality.
Public Open Space as Urban Architecture: Design and Public Life
IPTEK Journal of Proceedings Series
Public open space (POS) does not become an adequate priority in urban planning and design in developing countries, including Indonesia. The cities are almost 'full of buildings' and 'less of POS.' Meanwhile, many studies show that the POS has a significant effect on citizens' quality of life. By this situation, the research means to explore the quality of public open space in relation to its utilization. The study observed POS in several small towns in North Sumatra Province, where new urbanized area had been rising by autonomy regulation. A visual survey was carried out to record, map and identify the quality of the public open spaces. Besides, the visitors were interviewed to get their perception of the quality of POS. The investigation indicates that almost of public life did not always equal with the design of the POS. Almost POS have no pedestrian linkage to make it connect with the other urban space. Thus, the majority of POS was alienated with the other part of cities.There was no integration with public transport, too. The facilities were less of maintenance. However, the community kept coming to the place and doing many activities. The respondents perceived the POS as quite good, but not good enough. Still, they mostly believed that the POS have a real impact on their quality of life.
