This study is an analysis of manufacturing industry clustering in Yozgat in 5-year periods during the years of 2006 to 2016 using the location quotient method. This method is a readily accessible means of performing a spatial evaluation of statistical data. This research investigated which cities in Yozgat have manufacturing industry clusters, which cities' manufacturing industries merit further investment, compatibility with 2013 regional planning proposals, and tendencies in manufacturing industry clustering over the years. According to the number of employees in Yozgat in 2006, there were only manufacturing industry clusters in the districts of Yerköy and Sorgun. There were manufacturing industry clusters in 6 more regions in 2011. By 2016, the districts of Yerköy, Sorgun, Boğazlıyan, and Çayıralan had manufacturing industry clusters. Another important result is that the proximity of Boğazlıyan and Çayıralan to the city of Kayseri provides them with widespread trickle-down effects. This research was performed using the fourth level of the equivalent to the subregions of nomenclature of units for territorial statistics (NUTS-4), and is one of the first such studies of Yozgat.
This study examines a building located on the Adana-Ankara road axis in Kayseri, and its relationship with its immediate surroundings in terms of urban design, during its design and construction process, as well as post-construction. The study consists of two main sections. The first looks at the use of the Building Design Management in Urban Design (BDMUD) method in relation to this building. BDMUD is a proposed new method for integrating urban design, urban planning and architectural design, by adding collaboration planning to Virtual Reality (VR) and Building Information Model (BIM).The second section is a post-construction survey to evaluate the success of the BDMUD method in terms of the building's size, geometric shape (hereafter form), proportion, material, building layout and building use-land use conducted with a target group comprising city planners and architects based in Kayseri and architecture students (especially senior students) from the Erciyes University Department of Architecture. The survey group represents stakeholders with a role in the transformation of urban spaces who are able to give an opinion on urban design.The outcomes of the survey are presented in percentage comparison. In the survey, 100% of the architects, 85.7% of the city planners and 94% of the architecture students recognized that the building was designed using the BDMUD method due to its differentiation from the other buildings on the road axis. In other words, according to 91.1% of the participants, the BDMUD method resulted in differentiation between this building and the others in terms of form, proportion, material and building layout. On the other hand, in terms of building use-land use at this site, 62.75% of the participants preferred mixed use with commercial use on the ground floor and residential use on the upper floors, while 37.25% of participants favored commercial
Urban historic areas are threatened by a multifaceted problem of physical, social, functional, and economic degradation. Moreover, changing hands of urban historic areas often results in the loss of interest to protect the historic sites. As a result, the accumulated memories between the owners and the spatial structure begin to disappear. In this sense, the ownership of historic buildings becomes important. To illustrate this, an Anatolian town with historic sites, Tokat, was selected. In this paper land property-led urban conservation (LPLUC) was improved with the buffer zones method (BZM). Information technology was used in order to create the buffer zones. BZM helps to calculate covered areas and their quality, and also to compute the quality of buildings with their covered areas, which are tabulated in each buffer zone. The buffer zones were created with GIS and the data of the urban historic sites were computed with GIS. This paper emphasizes, in the context of urban conservation land, the property-led conservation approach, the importance of using GIS in urban conservation processes and the impact of BZM in relation to the historic sites and the conservation plan of Tokat.
Competitions are a significant means of focusing on specific spaces in cities and forming public opinion. Competitions result in many professionals such as architectures, urban planners, urban designers, landscape architects, civil engineers, etc. proposing lots of designs for the same space, and thereby submitting various solution offers for it. Therefore, competitions are important not only for their results, but also for increasing knowledge about the occupational groups of design and the shaping of urban open spaces and built environments, in other words, cities. This study analyzes competitions’ contributions to urban design based on the experience of Merzifon Municipality’s Business and Life Center Architectural Project Competition. The discipline of urban design, which plays an important role in forming the urban open spaces and built environments, is enriched by competitions. The approaches developed in the projects that compete for the urban spaces focused on the competitions play an important role in shaping cities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
