Article Yeşil Altyapı Kapsamında Atıl Alanlar için Sürdürüle- Bilir Tasarım Yaklaşımı: İzmir Halkapınar Örneği(2023) Kocabıyık Savasta, Elif; Sarı, İklim; Mengi, Onur; Irkdaş Doğu, Derya; Yiğit, Nergiz; Göknur, Aylin; Kılınçarslan, Rabia ÖzgülDoğayı 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.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Where Do Temporary Urban Design Interventions Fall on the Spectrum of Public Participation? an Analysis of Global Trends(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Doğu, Tuba; Mengi, Onur; Köse S.; Kose, SuhedaUrban 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 LtdArticle Creative Placemaking Revisited: Exploring Major Drivers for the Practice of Making and Co-Creation(Inderscience Publishers, 2020) Mengi, OnurConference Paper 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, OnurA 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 agenciesReview Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Multidimensional Management Framework for Creative Places(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2020) Mengi, Onur; Guaralda, MirkoPurpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the creative city discourse expanding on current tangible and intangible strategies, by integrating recent placemaking tactics to develop a multidimensional framework for designing creative places. Design/methodology/approach The methodology is based on a framework analysis and critical meta-review of current research on creative city and placemaking. Findings The findings show that there are three additional factors related to placemaking tactics in the established literature: institutional factors, human factor and arts and design factor emerging from the intersection of creative city and placemaking frameworks. Originality/value This paper contributes to the current trends in creative city and the development of placemaking guidelines. It provides a simplified view of an exhaustive list of existing literature.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Wedding Wear Cluster in Izmir: How Does the Creative Knowledge Ecosystem Self-Operate?(Lookus Scientific, 2013) Mengi, Onur; Velibeyoglu, KorayThe present research aims to analyze the ways of the creative knowledge ecosystem is being self-operated in a certain environment in order to comprehend how creativity and knowledge flow and exchange are generated within the creative industries framework. Creative knowledge ecosystem refers to all the physical and organizational mechanism of the creative environment which together form a self-sufficient entity. For this study, how firms feed and supply each other, how they survive and sustain their production and distribution processes within such entity thus becomes essential. Therefore, a wedding wear cluster in Izmir, Mimar Kemalettin Fashion District, has been chosen as a case study. The methodology consists of semi-structured interviews with the managers, designers and workers employed in the wedding wear and fashion-linked firms located in the district. The data is collected and processed by means of the DICE method. The findings reveal particular ecosystem characteristics within the wedding wear cluster, and present its current organizational conditions regarding the ecosystem major components; distribution, interaction, competition, and evolution.Master Thesis An Analysis of Creative Placemaking Tactics in Art and Design-Based Development: Exploring the Emergence of Darağaç as an Art District(İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2022) Sarı, Simay; Mengi, OnurYaratıcı şehir paradigmasının son otuz yılda evrimi, yaratıcı ve kültürel ekonomi bağlamında kentsel gelişim için yer oluşturma kavramını ve sanat ve tasarımın anlamını çarpıcı biçimde değiştirmiştir. Mevcut literatürdeki çok çeşitli ekonomik düşüncelere rağmen, yaratıcı şehirler bağlamında sanat, zanaat ve tasarım yoluyla yaratıcı yer oluşturmanın nasıl işlediği belirsizliğini koruyor ve yaratıcı yer oluşturmanın sanat ve tasarım temelli gelişime nasıl katkıda bulunduğuna dair birleştirici bir perspektif şu anda eksik. Bu çalışmanın amacı, öncelikle yaratıcı mekan oluşturma sürücülerini incelemek ve kategorize etmek, ardından bu sürücülerin nasıl çalıştığını ve kentsel çevrede sanat ve tasarım temelli gelişime nasıl katkı sağladıklarını tartışmaktır. Bu çalışma, kültür, sanat ve tasarım stratejileri geliştiren İzmir ilinde yaratıcı sınıf taban inisiyatifleri tarafından bunun nasıl uygulandığını araştırmaktadır. Metodoloji üç adım üzerine inşa edilmiştir: 1) çerçeve analizi, 2) sanat ve tasarım temelli geliştirme ve yaratıcı mekan oluşturma üzerine mevcut araştırmaların eleştirel meta incelemesi ve 3) İzmir, Türkiye'de gelişmekte olan bir sanat bölgesi olan Darağaç'ta sürücüleri araştıran bir saha çalışması. Saha çalışması, saha ziyaretleri, görsel haritalamalar, yaratıcı sınıfa ulaşmak için kartopu örnekleme kullanımı ve yapılandırılmış anket çalışmasından oluşmaktadır. Bulgular, sanat ve tasarım temelli gelişmeler için bir dizi yaratıcı yer oluşturma sürücüsü önermekte ve yerelleştirilmiş girişimlerin yaratıcı şehir çerçevesine entegrasyonu için gelecekteki politikalar için çıkarımlar sunmaktadır.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Reconsidering the Knowledge Ecology in Fashion Industry: a Metaphorical Approach(Acad Conferences Ltd, 2017) Mengi, OnurCreative 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.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Multi-Level Policy Learning of Environmental Policy: Insights From Izmir(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Velibeyoglu, Koray; Mengi, OnurA 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.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 21Place Management of a Creative City: the Case of Izmir(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2017) Mengi, Onur; Durmaz, Sıdıka Bahar; Oner, Asli Ceylan; Velibeyoglu, KorayThis 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.
