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, 2024-09) 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 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 IrkdaşDoğayı 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 Creative Placemaking Revisited: Exploring Major Drivers for the Practice of Making and Co-Creation(Inderscience Publishers, 2020) Mengi, OnurReview Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Multidimensional Management Framework for Creative Places(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2020-01-11) 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.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.Conference Object Co-Design Management Framework for Community Empowerment Through Local Government - Design School Collaboration(Acad Conferences Ltd, 2021) Dogu, Derya Irkdas; Mengi, Onur; Deniz, Deniz; Kilincarslan, OzgulThe notion of empowerment in the context of co-design is vastly studied in community architecture, community design, participatory planning, social innovation, and knowledge management. Despite the growing literature on co-design in various disciplines, there is a need for a comprehensive approach to co-design that explores different meanings and manifestations of communities that are under the influence of continuous change and transformation in urban areas. Our aim is to investigate (1) how the co-design process could be enhanced to foster community empowerment and (2) which design methods and tools could be explored to align with the paradigm shift towards a new model of co-design that aims to include biodesign, which sees nature as a co-creator and co-designer. This study proposes a new framework of community empowerment for a [re]-defined co-design management framework as an outcome of the collaboration between the local government and planning agencies and the Design School of Izmir University of Economics, Turkey. Methodological framework - derived from the Double Diamond diagram developed by the Design Council, illustrates a co-design system to integrate various actors; stakeholders (designers, local authorities, academics), community representatives (users, NGOs and civil initiatives, independent designers and artists). The findings address the opportunities to grasp the potential of co-design and generate new collaborations among actors including living organisms. This enables us to reconsider how co-design, as a knowledge management tool, can be utilized for empowering communities in urban areas, and to examine how it can be reframed for more livable urban environments. Through the construction of our framework, one of the crucial outcomes addresses the co-evolution that challenges the human-centered design paradigm and evolves it towards co-designing with living systems. Thus, the final framework becomes multi-scalar and multi-directional, and requires constant vertical and horizontal movement between, and within, various micro-, meso-, and macro-levels of knowledge interactions.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, 2018-07-22) 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 Evaluation of Photobioreactor Designs for Potential Application as Microalgal Façade Systems(Nature Portfolio, 2026-03-03) Tekin, Zehranur; Mengi, Onur; Çalişkan, Gülizar; Deniz, Deniz; Al-Hammadi, Mohammed; Güngörmüşler, Mine; Irkdaş Doğu, DeryaThis study introduces innovative PBRs to optimize the growth of Chlorella vulgaris. For the first time, various designs, including flat and column PBRs with and without innovative interior structures, were investigated in the context of a Green Campus case study. The novel column PBR equipped with a spiral baffle significantly improved the homogeneity of the culture medium, enhancing light penetration, nutrient distribution, and gas exchange, while effectively reducing air bubble coalescence using an innovative spiral apparatus, achieving a biomass yield of 1.8 g L- 1 with a climate change impact of 0.93 kg CO2-eq. Furthermore, the integrated spiral apparatus simplified the harvesting, reducing operational complexities, overall cost, and potentially, CO2 emissions. Finally, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was conducted to highlight the column PBR's environmental impact. The electricity used during the cultivation stage was responsible for almost all CO2 production. This hotspot is further discussed, as well as insights into ways to reduce the carbon footprint in future. The study encourages the integration of microalgal PBRs into urban bio-façade systems, aligning with global sustainability initiatives such as the European Green Deal. It offers insights into advanced façade design principles, emphasizing higher efficiency. Areas for future research include exploring different microalgae species and optimizing design parameters based on these findings.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.
