Eco-Architecture VI: Harmonisation between Architecture and Nature, 2016

One of these structures is the school buildings where new generations are educated. In Turkey, there are quality problems in built school buildings in terms of sustainable architecture principles for the residents and the environment. In addition, environmental, economic and social losses occur unless sustainable precautions are taken in such buildings. It is proposed that, as a model for the sustainability movement, every primary school in cities be designed within these principles so that new generations can grow up and receive education in a sustainable environment and their parents can become aware of this issue. This study particularly examines the existing primary school buildings that were built with a typical project principle. In order to raise the living standards of children and also for environmental sustainability, the existing conditions of the school buildings should be improved and transformed in a sustainable way. In this context, the study is restricted to two scopes: existing primary schools in Turkey and sustainability in existing buildings. As a method, a primary school which was built with a typical project in a developing district was evaluated within the framework of sustainability principles. In addition, improvement and recovery through sustainability integration as a concept were proposed. Application of this approach can be regarded as an important step in terms of sustainable transformation in cities starting from local district schools to other local residential buildings and other buildings as well. It is believed that this approach holds an important role in creating sustainability awareness and integration in a national and global aspect.

Sadece bulunduğu toplumda değil, bütün dünyada barındırdığı tarih, kimlik ve kültür değerleri açısından önemlidir. Dünyada kültürel miras doğal riskler(afet), insan kaynaklı riskler, teknik riskler gibi pek çok risk altında bulunmaktadır. Kültürel mirasa etki eden olası riskler doğal kaynaklı (deprem, sel, yangın, toprak kayması, tsunami,…) ya da insan kaynaklı(Vandalizm, savaşlar, hırsızlık,…) risklerdir. Ancak kültürel miraslara en fazla etki eden riskler afetlerdir. Afetler meydana geldiği çevreye ve topluma farklı şekilde etkilerde bulunur. Bu etkiler arasında; can ve mal kaybı, ekonomik, sosyolojik, psikolojik sorunlar gibi kültür varlıkları için de büyük tehditler oluşturur. Bu tehditleri azaltmak ve yok etmek için afet yönetimi uygulanır. Yaşanan savaşlar, afetler, doğal olaylar sonucunda kültürel mirasların tahrip ve yok olması bütün dünyada miras alanlarının riskleri konusuna dikkatleri çekmiştir. Bu olaylar sonucunda tarihi çevrelerde kültürel mirasa yönelik olası tehditleri azaltmak, afetler sonucu gördüğü zarar ve kayıpları azaltmak ve kültürel mirasın korunması için UNESCO, ICORP,ICOMOS,UNDRR,ICCROM gibi kurum ve kuruluşlar dünya çapında sözleşmeler hazırlamış, kongreler düzenlemiş ve bildiriler yayınlamıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'de yapılan ve uluslararası kurum, kuruluşların yapmış olduğu bütün bu çalışmalar ışığında tarihi çevrelerde kültürel mirasın özgünlük, bütünlük ve sürdürülebilirlik değerlerinin korunarak tarihi çevrelerde kültürel mirasa yönelik olası afet risklerinin tanımlanması ve azaltılması ile mirasın afetlerden en az zararla kurtulması ve çalışmaların 1983 yılında yürürlüğe giren 2863 sayılı "Kültür ve Tabiat Varlıklarını Koruma Kanunu" kapsamında yürütülmesidir. Çalışma kapsamında literatür taraması yapılmış ve elde edilen bilgiler kapsamında konu ele alınmıştır. Literatür araştırmasında konu kapsamında yer alan lisansüstü tezler, ulusal ve uluslararası makaleler, ilgili yasa ve yönetmelikler, UNESCO ve danışma organlarının yaptıkları çalışmalar ve kültürel miras alanlarında yapılan çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Çalışma, somut kültürel mirasların afet riskleri ile sınırlandırılmıştır.

Yerleşmelerde depremlerden sonra görülen en belirgin etkiler, yapısal çevrenin yıkımı ve hasar görmesidir. Depremlerden sonra birçok yapı; konutlar, işyerleri, fabrikalar, okullar, hastaneler, tarihi ve kültürel değeri olan binalar vb., zarar görebilir ve/veya yıkılabilir. Yapılarla birlikte toplum için hayati önem taşıyan alt yapı; yollar, demiryolları, iletişim ağı, içme suyu şebekesi, doğal gaz boru hatları vb. de zarar görebilir. Bütün bunların bir sonucu olarak da normal hayat kesintiye uğrar. Bu kesintinin büyüklüğü; depremin büyüklüğüne ve de toplumun deprem zararlarını azaltmaya yönelik yapmış oldukları hazırlıklara göre farklılık gösterir. Yıkıcı depremlerden sonra oluşan yapısal çevre kayıplarının giderilmesi ve iyileştirilmesi çok uzun sürebilir. Ülke topraklarının büyük bir kısmının deprem riskine sahip olması, bu topraklar üzerinde önemli sanayi kuruluşlarının bulunması ve nüfusun büyük bir kısmının yaşaması tehlikenin boyutunu daha da arttırmaktadır. Geçmişte olan depremlerden dersler alarak, gelecekteki deprem etkilerinin azaltılabilmesi için; mutlaka deprem olmadan önce, halkın deprem hakkında eğitilmesi, yerleşimlerde ve yapılarda deprem risklerinin azaltılması, yeni düzenlemelerin ve önlemlerin alınması, deprem anında ve deprem sonrasında nelerin yapılması gerektiği önceden planlanması gereken önemli çalışmalardır. Bu makalenin amacı da, deprem zararlarının artmasındaki nedenleri ortaya koyarak, deprem öncesinde, anında ve sonrasında nelerin yapılması gerektiğini irdelemektir.

Users’ life styles must be taken into account in housing production. Users’ life style is the main criterion defining the identity of the housings produced. This article aims to present the data needed in order to carry out quality practices which have identity and reflect users’ life style in the production of post-disaster permanent housings and housing production for urban transformation in areas under disaster risk. Bursa is one of the cities with earthquake risk where urban transformation practices are compulsory. In this study, residents’ living in selected areas with similar features in Bursa were asked for their opinions on sociocultural and physical features of housing and its surroundings, and their expectations regarding the production of new housings to be built were discussed. Data from the research study carried out by the authors were used in the article. According to data, the most significant factors identifying users’ life style and reflecting on the identity of the housing were neighbor relations, open space use, spaces where basic needs are met, and living spaces used for meeting sum and winter needs. It was observed that creating settlements with identity and reflecting the features of local life increases user satisfaction.

The emergency case experienced after the 17 August 1999 Marmara Earthquake featured the permanent housing need; thus, within the meaning of Disaster Law, a large number of housings were to be built in designated residential areas in various provinces. Once a building has been designed, impediments that arise either cannot be fixed any longer or require an extra cost to be fixed. In order to create a high quality built environment, production process of constructions as a long lasting effect becomes important. This study examines how the production process of the permanent housings to be built in Turkey after 1999 Marmara Earthquake was managed considering the current legal framework. In this context, the aim is to state how permanent housings are produced and determination of the points seen as problems by the builders (contractors) and occupants through this process. The m...

Earthquake survivors face many problems that affect the return to normalcy, including disruptions in temporary and permanent housing. To improve the earthquake survivors' social‐psychological status, it is imperative to shorten the transition from temporary to permanent housing. For the transition to be as brief as possible, planning, design, and construction of permanent housing need to be carried out seamlessly.Design/methodology/approachA survey is carried out among those who took part in the permanent housing production in Kocaeli, where, after the Marmara earthquake in 1999, permanent housing practices were dense.FindingsAs a result of the study, the most important problem in the production process is found to be the limited time allocated for design and constructi...

In these practices, in order to provide user satisfaction it is necessary to take the user need and the design criteria depending on it into consideration. Permanent housing must, above meeting the basic accommodation need, provide the psychologically, socially and economically damaged people's various expectations from the built environment where they will lead their lives for a long time. This study aims to determine the problems that were come up against in use phase in Kocaeli Gundogdu Permanent Housing model, built after the 17 August 1999 Marmara Earthquake and was chosen as the study field; and to get the results that could form data for the design and application of permanent housing that will be needed to be made after a possible earthquake. Through this data, applications that will reduce the possible problems and increase user satisfaction and provide economic comfort to the users can be developed.

This paper reports on interviews with households who were affected by two floods in 2010 in two settlements in Bursa. Interviewees discussed why they lived there, the main problems they experienced, the factors that increased flood damage, the measures they took after the floods to minimize future flood impacts, the costs they incurred and where responsibility for disaster mitigation/preparedness lay. The conclusions emphasize the need for far more attention to disaster risk reduction and to working with low-income communities to identify how best such disaster risk reduction can be planned and implemented.
