“…Planned and unplanned housing areas increased, while green areas were decreased, and rapid, uncontrolled, and illegal urbanization, accompanied by insufficient infrastructure, caused the degradation of forests, water basins, and barren lands (Baz et al, 2009). Istanbul has suffered from constant sprawl, consumption of forest areas, car dependency, and a lack of environmental protection measures.…”

“…The busway project and expanding subway systems have upgraded public transport infrastructure (Alpkokin and Ergun, 2012). The adoption of intelligent transport systems will further ease the transport issues (Baz et al, 2009). The 3rd Airport-planned to be the largest in Europe-is being built in order to turn Istanbul into a transportation hub for Europe, Asia, and Africa.…”

Abstract. Knowledge-based urban development (KBUD) has become a popular pursuit for cities, especially from the developing countries, to fast track the catching up process with their counterparts in developed nations. Nevertheless, for these cities the KBUD progress is daunting and full of challenges. The authors aim to shed light on the major KBUD challenges of emerging local economies by undertaking an in-depth empirical investigation in one such city. They scrutinize the prospects and constraints of Istanbul in her KBUD journey through comparative performance and policy context analyses. The findings reveal invaluable insights, not only for Istanbul to reshape the policy context and align development with contemporary KBUD better, but also for other emerging local economies to learn from these experiences.

“…The criteria were reclassified into a scale of Table 5). The divisions of a criterion's classes were established at the natural breaks according to the Jenks Method, which minimizes statistical variation within each class (Baz, Geymen, & Er, 2009;Jenks, 1977). As land cover and rock type are qualitative criteria, they were reclassified according to standards in the literature (Afrouz, 1992;Djuric et al, 2013).…”

“…The mathematical fractal model and fuzzy model are also expertly used. The common feature of most researches is to determine the effect of natural structures including environmental hazards and ecological techniques in relation to GIS (Baz and Geymen, 2009). In this paper, we obtained physical and functional parameters of urban fabric based on each district of the Mashhad municipality.…”

Abstract:In this study, we determined vulnerability levels of urban fabrics against earthquake risk using spatial factors.Therefore to classify risk vulnerability zones of the Mashhad urban fabric we used parameters such as ratio of open spaces, size of lands differentiation, population density, occupied area by buildings, age of buildings, deteriorated urban fabrics, proximity to faults, and seismic grading. These parameters are derived based on Mashhad municipality districts then weighted by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and combined by the Standard Score Model in geographic information system (GIS). The results indicated that: first, the central district and districts of eight, three and four in Mashhad have the most fabric vulnerability against earthquakes, respectively. Second, the urban texture of municipal districts containing districts of nine, seven, six and ten have less vulnerability against earthquakes, respectively. Third, the parameters analysis using AHP exhibited the weighty value for lands differentiation parameter while, the correlation test revealed that the strong correlation between deteriorated urban fabrics and the final zoning map (R 2 equal to 0.75).
