Özet

"Urban transformation" is now often presented as an inevitable stage of urban evolution, and urban land is entirely offered up to the capital market. Legal regulations are also created in order to provide authorization for these plans or to ease their implementation. Although it is clear that the urbanization of Turkey is a historical problem and that it is related to economic strategies at the local and the macro level, it is important that the consequences of such transformation be understood. At this point, it is essential to examine the socio-spatial outcomes and urban cost created by not only Article 73 of Municipal Law No. 5393, which allocated responsibility for decisions related to urbanization and urban development to the municipalities and the Housing Development Administration of Turkey, but also parcel-based implementation under "The Law of Transformation of Areas Under Disaster Risks," No. 6306. This study examined the circumstances in the Izmir neighborhood of Bostanli, where the implementation of parcel-based renewal has accelerated. The resulting population change, as well as a change in the physical density of the buildings and changes in the urban technological and social infrastructure that have occurred were evaluated from the urban planning perspective and on the basis of quality of life.
