A MODEL SUGGESTION FOR OBTAINING THE IDEAL URBANTRANSFORMATION SYSTEM IN THE LIGHT OF DENSITY ANDPOPULATION PARAMETERS AND KEMALPASA AREA SAMPLE

Abstract

Especially after the August 17, 1999 Great Marmara Earthquake, urban transformation /
renewal; has occupied the place in the country's agenda frequently. It has been one of the most
important issues on which is being worked to minimize the effects/the hazards that the new
possible earthquake causes. To define this issue, sometimes only earthquake is considered.
Now and then the planning, the architectural ideas, engineering parameters, environmental
impacts are gathering together in broader perspective to describe urban renewal.
The aim of this article is to describe interactive relations of 'density' and 'population' parameters
for the reports of the master plan for urban areas. To reach the ideal model of urban
transformation/renewal, two different software programs have been utilized.
At this stage in Province of Istanbul, Bagcilar district, Kemalpasa quarter which has been
approved as ‘risky area’ with 6306 law that has been affirmed with number 2013/4689 by the
Council of Ministers is taken as a model of comparison which has been idealized. This risky
area consists of 11 city blocks, 219 parcels, 4,6 hectare with current population of 1400 people.
To determine the limit of the ideal model values, the example of Western countries, standards
and norms have been researched. In this study; density within the regional plans of the area,
motion within the population are explained by making the classification as part of town
planning. Also some other examples in Turkey, especially in residential areas which has a
grand amount of density have been gathered together to discuss the matter of ideal model of
urban transformation/renewal.
