    Where Do Temporary Urban Design Interventions Fall on the Spectrum of Public Participation? an Analysis of Global Trends
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2024-09) Doğu, Tuba; Mengi, Onur; Köse S.; Kose, Suheda
    Urban environments profoundly shape human life, yet rapid urbanization often overlooks social challenges, hindering the development of cohesive communities. To address these challenges, contemporary practices are embracing participatory design approaches globally, resulting in a growing trend towards temporary urban design interventions (TUDIs) that catalyze shifts in how people interact with cities. While scholarly research explores the relationship between participation and social change, it offers significant potential for raising questions about such connection: Where do TUDIs fall on the spectrum of public participation? How would a comprehensive framework be formulated to evaluate such interventions regarding public participation and social change? What are the design processes and design outcomes of these interventions? This study examines the relationship between participation and social change in the context of TUDIs, via a meta-analysis of the literature and practice, to devise a methodological framework that integrates a variety of components involved in urban design projects worldwide. The framework informs urban design theory and practice about TUDIs through the lens of participation, while simultaneously underlining their value as a strategic tool for socially integrated cities. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

    Yeşil Altyapı Kapsamında Atıl Alanlar için Sürdürüle- Bilir Tasarım Yaklaşımı: İzmir Halkapınar Örneği
    (2023-03-31) Kocabıyık Savasta, Elif; Sarı, İklim; Mengi, Onur; Irkdaş Doğu, Derya; Yiğit, Nergiz; Göknur, Aylin; Kılınçarslan, Rabia Özgül; Velibeyoglu, Hasibe; Savasta, Elıf Kocabıyık; Doğu, Derya Irkdaş
    Doğayı hızla tüketen kentleşme pratikleri yerini sürdürülebilir, ekoloji temelli politikalara ve yeşil altyapı stratejilerine bırakmaktadır. Kent ekosistemi içerisinde düzensiz, kimliksiz, sahipsiz olarak tariflenen atıl alanların çevresel, sosyal, ekonomik gelişimi ve böylelikle kentsel ekosistemin denge- lenmesi bu çalışmanın konusunu oluşturur. 2019 yılından beri belediye-üniversite işbirliği ile atıl alanlar üzerine “Sürdürülebilir Ekosistem Ağı (Sustainable Ecosystem Network - SEN)” başlıklı kapsamlı bir araştırma yürütülmektedir. SEN altında atıl alanlar özelinde bir tasarım yaklaşımı ge- liştirmek, model/kılavuz oluşturmak, ağ sistemi kurmak hedeflenmiştir. Bu çalışmada SEN altında belirlenen tasarım yaklaşımı (uygulayarak araştırma, katılımcı/işbirlikçi tasarım, biyotasarım), ‘ula- şım ağı ve çevresinde görülen atıl alanlar’ sınıfına giren İzmir Halkapınar bölgesi üzerinden ele alı- narak geliştirilmiş, SEN araştırmasına ve Halkapınar’ın kent ekosistemine katılımına dair sonuçlar ortaya konmuştur. Atıl alanlar için ‘hedef belirleme kontrol listesi’ oluşturulmuş, ‘atıl alan çalışma kılavuzu’ oluşturma yönünde deneyim kazanılmış, atıl alanların ‘düzensiz, kimliksiz, sahipsiz’ ka- rakterine istinaden işbirliğinin önemi ve dinamikliğin zorluğu gözlemlenmiş, Halkapınar özelinde elde edilen kapsamlı veri üzerine tasarım önerileri getirilmiş ve uygulanmıştır.

    Public Green Spaces in Cbds: Reconsidering the Central Business District of İstanbul
    (Taylor and Francis, 2024-04-26) Mengi, Onur; Deniz D.; Oner A.C.; Gökçe B.; Deniz, Deniz; Gökçe, Buðra; Oner, Asli Ceylan
    This chapter underlines the crucial relationship between public green space and tall buildings, which is increasingly integral to the quality of urban life as the pace of urbanization reaches its global peak. The specific focus will be on the central business districts (CBDs) of global cities, as these areas have the greatest density of high-rises, it argues the quality of life provided through public green space in between tall buildings. The chapter reviews the characteristics of CBDs of global cities in terms of their public green space characteristics. The findings show that there has been a considerable effort to green the CBDs of global cities, especially in integrating waterfront developments and intelligent transportation systems integrated for connectivity within the sub-areas. However, not all cities have the same level of green infrastructure and connectivity, and this is deeply connected with the planning decisions regarding the prioritization of public green space in the planning of the CBD, as is mainly seen in the case of Istanbul. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Peng Du, Kheir Al-Kodmany, and Mir M.

    Reconsidering the Knowledge Ecology in Fashion Industry: a Metaphorical Approach
    (Acad Conferences Ltd, 2017) Mengi, Onur
    Creative industries have seen a growing academic, in which the vast majority of the literature has concentrated on the physicality of the environment and their locational accumulations. Recent studies have intended to describe the existence of creative industry structures through economic and political perspectives, and physical planning. In contrast, there is much being interest in the question of how the inner dynamics and nature of creative industries operate and respond to the given knowledge environment. Nevertheless, the nature of their organizational structure is equally worth studying. In the present study, the ecosystem of creative industry structure is considered as being the creative-based and knowledge intense activities of the fashion industry. The study aims at investigating how the fashion industry operates as an ecosystem. Methodologically, the present study engages significant ecological characteristics widely used in the theoretical and applied fields of business ecosystems, ecosystem management and creative ecology, and attempts to integrate some of these perspectives into the fashion industry, through a formulation of an innovative metaphoric approach. The ecology approach is here based on the application of appropriate scientific methodologies, focused on levels of biological metaphor of organization that encompasses the essential processes and interactions among organizations, and their environment. In such a metaphorical approach, factors in changing ecological concepts, diversity, interaction, competition and evolution are employed and evaluated with insights from the particular ecosystem of fashion industry.

    Place Management of a Creative City: the Case of Izmir
    (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2017) Mengi, Onur; Durmaz, Sıdıka Bahar; Oner, Asli Ceylan; Velibeyoglu, Koray
    This study investigates how place management is used to render a creative city through the combination of soft factors as intangible characteristics and hard factors as tangible characteristics of the built environment. The study focuses on Izmir, Turkey; exploring its potential as an emerging creative city. The methodology is a descriptive analysis of recent urban design and planning activities of creative cities, reviews projects and strategies in Izmir. Findings provide a framework for place management tools and their strategic use for integration of art, design, creativity and knowledge in creative cities. Place management is used as a tool for image building and identity enhancement, and for quality of place to attract creative and knowledge workers. In the case of Izmir, hard factors triggered the formation process whereas soft factors have taken strengthen the initiative. However, both of them are yet not strong enough to creative public awareness and critical mass.

    Designing for Social Innovation: Apps as a Tool for CoCreation
    (Pensoft Publishers - 10th World Summit: Civil Engineering-Architecture-Urban Planning Congress (CAUSummit 2025), 2025-10-17) Ercan, İrem; Kan, Didem; Mengi, Onur
    A shared understanding of active participation of many urban actors is necessary for a socially sustainable urban environment. This study explores how various urban stakeholders including government agencies, city collectives, citizens, academic institutions, and businesses co-create by leveraging their unique skills and exchanging work and knowledge via an online platform in order to foster social innovation at urban scale. The present research hypothesizes that establishing a participatory mobile application enabling city inhabitants to actively engage and assume shared responsibilities in urban processes can strengthen the sense of belonging of citizens. The design research methodology employed in this study is rooted in the context of co-creation and participatory design. The study is structured around the hypothetical development of the Give a Hand mobile application, a participatory platform designed to make education, health, culture, and art services more accessible for everyone. By enabling participation and co-creation among city inhabitants, the platform aims to optimize public service delivery, saving both time and resources as well as to achieve more inclusive urban environments. More importantly, this platform facilitates urban value creation through mechanisms of volunteering and donations, contributing to the enhancement of the public services. This conceptual framework also helps us understand how designers serve as social innovation facilitators by developing community-driven, inclusive platforms for public service delivery and engagement. The practical implications of this study provides a sustainable network, fostering a stronger sense of belonging among the citizens. By incorporating social networking features, the app facilitates communication, collaboration, and the creation of new community networks, thereby enhancing active participation and contributing to the overall social fabric of the city. The results show that digital platforms can serve as scalable instruments for participatory governance when they are created using the concepts of social innovation and co-creation. The conceptual mobile app provides a flexible and transparent framework for cooperation between corporations, colleges, citizens, and public agencies

    The Multi-Level Policy Learning of Environmental Policy: Insights From Izmir
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018-07-22) Velibeyoglu, Koray; Mengi, Onur
    A European Union (EU) membership perspective is important for Turkey's harmonization with EU standards, which could have positive outcomes especially in the area of smart environmental management. However, as recent political developments suggest, Turkey is losing hope of full EU membership, and is searching for alternatives, such as privileged partnership. Active contributions of city-level good practices are urgently needed. Policy learning is a part of this process, and an emergent result of ever-changing negotiations involving a multiplicity of actors at the multi-level perspective (MLP). The present study investigates the glocal environmental policy of Izmir, via a review of recent governmental environmentally sensitive local innovative practices. The findings reveal that innovative environments that increase learning-by-doing and learning-by-using will become critical for environmental policy learning in Izmir and perhaps beyond.

    Evidence-Based Interior Analysis Model: An ICT-Based Methodological Framework for Analyzing Spatial Behavior in Interior Environments
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2025-11-20) Abraham, Selin Aktan; Deniz, Deniz; Mengi, Onur
    Despite the increasing availability of digital tools for analyzing spatial behavior in interior environments, interior design studies often rely on conventional methods that do not fully integrate both objective and subjective insights, thereby limiting a comprehensive understanding of how users interact with space. This article proposes the Evidence-Based Interior Analysis (EBIA) model, an original methodological framework specifically designed for public-use interiors. The model offers a unique integration of Indoor Positioning Systems with user perception surveys within a unified structure. This integration enables the capture of both behavioral patterns and experiential feedback, facilitating their joint analysis for interior design decisions. The model is grounded in three foundational pillars: Spatial behavior studies, evidence-based design, and information and communication technologies. Rather than reporting a specific case study, the article outlines the conceptual and methodological formulation of the EBIA model. It proposes a dynamic, iterative approach that challenges conventional linear design processes and facilitates the development of responsive, user-centered, and sustainable interior environments by aligning spatial configurations with user behavior and long-term functionality. Scalable and applicable across diverse spatial contexts, the EBIA model addresses a critical methodological gap by bridging data-driven analysis with behavior-informed spatial design.
