Followed by the policies, the country reduced this proportion of slum households to 12.4% in 2010. Evolving from these facts, this book seeks the reflection on built environment whilst pointing to the squatters as the settlements of low-income communities in Turkey. Revealing the existing social, environmental and design issues of those settlements, the book pieces together the potential role of sustainable housing strategies within the frame of social justice and environmental development. The author carefully documents the issues that came along with the slum upgrading projects in Turkey. Through a specific case located in Istanbul; author furthermore addresses social and design strategies on the findings for better and sustainable outcomes to meet the needs of environmental and social imperatives in slum communities.

However, creating a sustainable environment and improving life involves more than just providing housing. According to UN-HABITAT, Turkey has a slum population 23% of the total urban population In response, this paper considers the squatters of the settlements of low-income communities in Turkey. Revealing the existing social, environmental and design issues of those settlements, the potential role of sustainable housing strategies is researched within the frame of social justice and environmental development. In highlighting the problems that have ccompanied slum-upgrading projects in Turkey, the paper will also propose social and design strategies for better and sustainable outcomes to meet the environmental and social needs of slum commu...

However, creating a sustainable environment and improving life involves more than just providing housing. According to UN-HABITAT, Turkey has a slum population 23% of the total urban population (UN-HABITAT 2003). In response to policy initiatives, the country reduced its proportion of slum households from 17.9% in 2000 to 12.4% in 2010 (UN-HABITAT 2010). But this fact raises a question: how did it impact on the built environment? In response, this paper considers the squatters of the settlements of low-income communities in Turkey. Revealing the existing social, environmental and design issues of those settlements, the potential role of sustainable housing strategies is researched within the frame of social justice and environmental development.

Son yıllarda popülerlik kazanan interaktif dijital ürün, ortam ve sistem tasarımlarıyla gerçekleşen bu deneyimler, sadece sanal değil fiziksel ortamda da bireyler ve mekân arasındaki etkileşim biçimlerini tetikler. Bu bağlamda makale, İzmir’in Kemeraltı bölgesinde geçen ve etkileşimli bir mobil uygulama-oyun olan Kayboluş projesi üzerinden kurgulanan kent anlatılarının kullanıcı tarafından deneyimine odaklanır. Makalenin amacı, kentsel mekân ve kullanıcı arasında yeni bir diyalog öneren bu deneyimin arka planındaki yöntemi ve araştırma sürecini okuyucuya aktarmaktır.

Türkiye'de de gerek yerel yönetimlerin teşviği, gerekse sivil insiyatifler ve mahalle örgütlenmeleriyle kentsel mekânların şekillenmesini gözlemlemek mümkündür. Buradan yola çıkan bu çalışma, 1960'lardan bu yana İzmir Güzelyalı'da yer alan bir kültür mekânının mahalleli eliyle dönüşümünü inceler. Sözlü tarih çalışmalarına yeni bir yöntem önerisi sunar ve mahallelinin ne denli etkin olduğunu okumak adına bir hatırlama süreci kurgular. Bu kurgu, kolektif bellek üzerinden kamusal bir yerleştirme olup, anlatılar ardındaki kolektif motivasyonu inceler. Amaç, geçmişi günümüzde okuya-rak, kentsel mekânlarda yeni sivil eylemlere ışık tutmaktır.

Worldwide, attention to user participation in shaping urban environments has grown in recent years. In Turkey it can be seen in the efforts of local authorities, civil initiatives and neighborhood organizations. This study examined the bottom-up transformation of a cultural space that exists in Izmir since the 1960s, in the neighborhood of Güzelyalı. A new technique in oral history studies of simulating and curating a remembering process was proposed to reveal how civic empowerment developed and operated. The process examined the narratives behind collective action through a reading of the collective memory. Re-reading the past in the present can generate new processes of civic engagement and action in urban spaces.
Keywords: Curating memory; participatory design; urban memory; collective memory.

Kamusal alanda işbirlikçi (collaborative) ve katılımcı tasarımı öne çıkararak katılımı teşvik eden bir deney üzerinden, kentlinin fikir beyan etmedeki aktifliği gözlemlenmiştir. Kentsel mekâna yapılan bu spontane müdahale, katılımcı toplum ve kamusal alan arasında bir aktivatör olarak kurgulanmıştır. En küçük yaşama ve yönetim birimi olan mahallenin fiziksel araştırma alanı olarak belirlendiği Mahalle(m) projesinin ilk deneyi, görece oturmuş bir mahalle kültürü olmasından dolayı İzmir Güzelyalı Mahallesi'nde gerçekleşmiştir. Fuat Göztepe Parkı 2 'nda kurulan enstalasyon, kentliyi interaktif kent perdesinin kurulum sürecine dahil ederek, onların bu sürece koydukları katkıyı ölçmek için bir aracıdır. İnteraktif kent perdesi üzerinden katılımı ölçümleyen bu deney, bir tam gün boyunca devam etmiş ve tamamlanmış olsa da, sonuç ve süreç üzerine yapılan analizler devam etmektedir.

While there are attempts being made to address the issue, still 50.3% of the urban households have no access to piped water within their premises in all Indian cities (BDP, 2005). Recognizing this continuing urban poverty challenge, this paper analyses whether urban poor can really access the formal water supply system, taking a case study of slum area on Bhopal, India. To do this, effects of different levels of governance and power relations on the ability of the poor to access water from different sources and supply systems are assessed. The paper starts with identifying the actors involved in various processes of water supply management planning and implementation in Bhopal. Three levels of analysis are captured – household, community and city, all of which together determine and shape whether a poor person in slum area has access to water. We provide rich account of how these multiscale processes, governance and facilitation by different actors affect the water access on household level at the location of urban poor. We further advance the analysis by looking at the how poor and disadvantaged groups are represented in the planning processes and to what extent the city level governance actors are accountable to the voice of the poor people as citizens. We locate serious gaps in planning and management approach of the municipality and suggest alternative approaches that involve better understanding of the poor and their livelihoods, better community engagement and accountable governance system.
