Article Citation - WoS: 3Understanding Virtual Reality Applications in Digital Heritage Through Teos(Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2019) Varinlioglu, GuzdenThis paper aims at proposing a model for virtual reality design studies by presenting the case of TeosVR, in which our interdisciplinary research group created a three-dimensional repository of the architectural heritage of the ancient city of Teos. It offers a three-dimensional modeling system with the capability of incorporating in situ data of archaeological remains and interpretative reconstructions for an excavation site with limited restitution data. Furthermore, the tools of the project go beyond traditional practices including data gathering, documenting, indexing, and analysis, and are also employed in generating virtual experience. Thus, the application created a platform to enhance interactions among experts of various disciplines.Article Citation - WoS: 1Children in Urban Environments: a Case Study From a Dense Neighbourhood in Izmir-Turkey(Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2022) Dikmen Güleryüz, Oylum; Dogan, Fehmi; Kasali, Altug; Guleryuz, Oylum DikmenThe aim of this study is to understand children's engagement with their urban outdoor environments in Izmir-Turkey, a city with a high urbanisation rate, and to explore the factors that affect their outdoor preferences outside of their school time. The study consists of a field study conducted in a densely populated middle-income neighbourhood. Participants are fourth-grade children from a state-run primary school aged 9-11 years (n=44) and their parents (n=40). The study followed a multi-methodological approach, employing questionnaires, drawing and story writing tasks as data collection methods. Results of the study showed the strong tendency to prefer outdoors during their free time even when their neighbourhood is a high-density urban settlement with limited opportunities for outdoor activities. In the studied neighbourhood, most of the participants mentioned the schoolyard over other locations as their preferred place fin- outdoor play. Other than the schoolyard, the children mainly reported familiar places in their neighbourhoods, close to their local environments which were also depicted in their drawings and described in their stories. From the perspectives of urban designers and policy-makers, the findings of the study highlight aspects to be concerned about opportunities for outdoor play in high-density and urbanised central neighbourhoods.
