The decision-making authority in urban regions was primarily the central
government until the promulgation of Planning Law No. 3194 dated 03/05/1985, at
which time local governments acquired the authority to make decisions.
The legislative power of the central government’s Ministry of Environment
and Urbanization and other concerned ministries is based on the constitution,
international agreements, resolutions of the presidency, and laws, while
executive power is based on by-laws, resolutions, larger scale plans, and
legislations. In addition, the powers of the local governments are formed on
the basis of development plans and plan notes, local legislations, and
resolutions of commissions.
Decisions made and put into practice by central/local governments should be
consistent with legislation, execution, and implementation processes to secure
the unity of the planning.
This study investigated the impacts of increased building density levels by
examining the implementary
development plans, zoning regulations, and reports made by local governments in
reference to the Municipal
Typical Development Legislation (MTDL) promulgated on
02/11/1985, the Planning Area Act (PAA), and the Legislation on Altering the Planning Area Act (LAPAA).
For the study, a field survey was conducted on a multistory residential
building in Kayseri.
The findings
revealed that the building densities, from building plots to settlement
patterns, determined with the implementary
development plans increased at different scales and have negatively influenced
the current and prospective physical environment,
infrastructure/superstructure, and urban life style.
