“…These efforts are worthwhile; because vernacular architecture is so deeply rooted in local life, then it must have an intrinsic value for survival and revival. As Rapoport (1983) maintained, since many human activities and behaviour have not changed much since the beginning of humanity, so the small units of settlement pattern as exemplified by the traditional housing type may Figure 16.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the physical form of the phase one new courtyard housing prototype in Juer Hutong ('Chrysanthemum Lane') of Beijing, and propose further design development for the new courtyard type. In doing so, Heliodon experiments were carried out, using architectural simulation models, to test sunlight penetration during different times of the day and different times of the year, to find the optimum courtyard proportion of plan form and building height. Furthermore, two architectural models of different courtyard sizes were created and studied, to compare their density value and plot ratio. Comparative studies were also made of four different housing types built in Beijing since 1949. The results show that the new courtyard housing type not only achieves high density, but also provides more meaningful residential lifestyle when looked at from social, cultural, architectural, environmental, and historical perspectives.

“…Bu nedenle özellikle tarihi ve kültürel varlığa yönelik projelerde muhakkak yerel yönetimlerin birincil aktör olması ve yerel topluluğun projelere dahil olması önemlidir (Lenger, 2012, s.6-8). Ancak, kent kimliği konusu öne geldiği zaman, kentin hangi bölgesinin, hangi toplumsal sınıfın, hangi kültürel birikimin ifade edildiği doğru bir şekilde ortaya konulmalıdır (Rapoport, 1983). Kentin kültürel mirasına modern dönemde özellikle kentteki orta sınıf etkide bulunmaktadır.…”

In the 2000s, important legal arrangements were made that directly and indirectly concern municipalities. While some laws are specifically regulated for a particular metropolitan area, the Municipal Law and the Metropolitan Municipality Law generally regulated the urban transformation practices of the municipalities. Finally, the Law No. 6306 of 2012 on the Transformation of Disaster Risk Areas has made various regulations through the central administration, the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization and TOKI. Regarding these regulations, the Ministry went to give both financial resources and authority and duties to TOKİ and municipalities. Thus, many actors, such as district municipalities, metropolitan municipalities, ministries and administrations, are authorized to carry out important projects. t is seen that the greatest role in this comprehensive and multidimensional policy field is given to the Ministry, subsequently to the metropolitan municipalities and finally to the district municipalities. In this study, the legislation regulating this multi-actor and complex structure of urban transformation was examined. It is aimed to evaluate urban transformation applications, which have gained a negative image in recent years. As a result, the institutional framework in Turkey has been analyzed and interpreted.

“…According to Amos Rappoport [5], environmental quality is the focus of planning and design to ensure a better environment, in terms of safety, health, aesthetics, comfort and well-being of the society. In respect to Rappoport's thinking, due to the multi-dimensional nature of environment quality, it should be considered in both objective and subjective assessments.…”

This study examines the impact of environmental design on user experiences in the educational spaces of Tabriz Islamic Art University in Iran. In the research area, the affective assessment of four different spaces, which have been changed their function, was made. The research hypothesis is that users’ affective experience is influenced by environmental and architectural design. The method applied is the interpretation of the data obtained by the scores of the pleasure-arousal diagram of the affective and perceptional experience of 100 students in 16 educational spaces belonging to Tabriz Islamic Art University in Iran. As a result of the research, it has been verified that space design style has an active role in the affective experience of students, and there is a meaningful relationship between user’s spatial experience and the design style. In this context, it has been revealed that the spatial experiences of students in traditional spaces are positive and satisfactory in terms of interest, pleasuret and security, and that for the other three groups, many changes are required in the architectural design and spatial organization to provide positive motivation and emotional suitability.
