A Case Study on the Selection and Conversion of Urban Transformation Areas

Urbanization is the process of the people migrates from small residential area to larger urban centers, often motivated by growing economically. Growth in large centers has not been planned. It is avoidable fact that the vast majority of the housing in our country has not been built in compliance with the public housing laws. This situation, which everyone agrees but cannot be irrepressible in spite of the laws, creates a risk of disaster in terms of poor quality and causes a distorted urbanization. The necessity of planned intervention in order to remove unplanned urbanization and a blot on the landscape and create more habitable areas reveals the concept of 'Urban Transformation'. Accordingly, urban transformation is to provide that make it a place for more livable standards by establishing the integrity of urban areas subjected to collapse in terms of physical, social and cultural with the city. In this study, the change of construction in Yenimahalle in Gümüşhane was investigated. Images for 1946, 2004 and 2014 were obtained with the purpose of analyzing the suitability of UT. The obtained data were converted into 3D with the SketchUp program. Processing of legal draw distances on 1/1000 scaled the master plan application revealed unplanned urbanization. Urban transformation modeling study was carried out in this area. 3D version of this model was revealed and then new situation after the emergence of this model was compared with old one. It was also investigated whether there is a suitable area for urban transformation.
