Abstract

Günümüzde tarihi kentler kentsel yaşam kalitesini azaltan değişimlerle başa çıkmakta zorlanmaktadır. Sokaklartaşıtlar ile aşırı yüklenmekte ve işlevinden uzaklaşarak yayalar için korkutucu olacak şekilde araç park alanlarınadönüşmektedir. Genellikle, kentsel açık alanlar bir şehri yaşanabilir hale getiren en önemli ölçütler olan sürdürülebilirlik,ulaşılabilirlik ve yaya dostu olma özelliklerinden uzaklaşmaktadır. Buna karşılık kentin yaşanabilirlik ölçütleri,deneyimlenebilen ve güçlendirilebilen toplu iyi olma hali için önemli bir etmen olmaktadır. Modern bir kentyaşayanların yaşam kalitesini artırabilir özelliklere sahip olmalıdır. Bu makale yaşanabilir bir kentin teorik olarakyaşam kalitesini artıran ölçütleri önermektedir. İki kentsel kalite olan sürdürülebilirlik ve ulaşılabilirlik kavramları,yaya yolları, açık alanlar, hizmet alanları ve yeşil alanlar ağ katmanları üzerinden yaya dostu olma teması ile ortayakonmuştur. Ölçütler ortaya konduktan sonra Ayvalık kenti vakası üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Kentin tarihsel vekentsel analizi yapıldıktan sonra, yaşanabilirlik katmanları üzerine öneriler sunulmuştur. Kararlar ve dönüşüm ilkelerikent merkezinde seçilen bir alan üzerinde detaylı şekilde açıklanmıştır. Bu ilkeler İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi’ deyüksek lisans bölümü öğrenci deneysel projesi olarak bir kültür merkezi mimari projesi üzerinden uygulanmıştır.

LIVABLE CITY: A STUDENT DESIGN PROJECT ON AYVALIK, TURKEY

Abstract

Today historical cities live difficulty to cope with the changes that deplete urban life. Streets are overloaded with vehicles and scarify the pedestrians on streets and open spaces which lose their relevance while being slowly replaced with parking lots. Generally, urban open space is slowly detaching from sustainability, accessibility and pedestrian friendliness which are important criteria to make a city livable. However, livability criteria of the city are an important factor of residents’ overall well-being which can be practiced and accelerated where needed. A modern city should provide features to raise inhabitant’s quality of life as much as possible. This paper proposes measures that theoretically increase life quality for a livable city. Two urban qualities, sustainability and accessibility are presented as encompassing a pedestrian friendliness through layers of networks such as pedestrian paths, open spaces, facilities and greenery. Once the measures are established those were to be evaluated through a case of Ayvalık. After the city’s historical and urban analysis, the recommendations on livability layers are given. Decisions and principles of transformation are shown in detail on a chosen smaller city neighborhood at the center of the city. These principles have been applied to a cultural center architectural design project which is an experimental student work of a master student on architecture in Istanbul Technical University
