ABSTRACT RECLAIMING ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY OF URBAN STREAMS BY USE OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE TECHNIQUES Ecological sustainability of urban streams has been significantly reversed from the last quarter of the 20th century onwards. This reverse has occurred as a result of increasing urbanisation and human activity, including construction in floodplain areas, relocation and culverting of streams, channelization, riparian clear-cut, and discharge of wastewater into streams. However, on comprehending the significance of urban streams, ecologically-based stream rehabilitation projects have been preferred to hard engineering solutions. These rehabilitation projects not only restore stream ecosystems but also reclaim their contribution to urban landscapes through the provision of ecological, social, and cultural assets. Based on the above, this study sets out to examine urban stream rehabilitation in the context of sustainable water management. In that regard, this research suggests an integrated and holistic approach through green infrastructure tools which can compensate for misguided human interventions on nature, and reclaim ecological sustainability of urban streams and their environs. In line with ecological sustainability, best practices from various countries and the case study of the research evidenced how the degraded stream ecosystem could be rehabilitated by using green infrastructure techniques. The research methodology used in the study involves analysis of the theoretical literature on green infrastructure and stream rehabilitation, best practice analysis, and case study analysis to develop a rehabilitation guideline for Arap Stream and its surroundings. In this sense, the research presents urban-scale, district-scale and neighbourhood-scale rehabilitation strategies for the case study. Finally, the study delivers the rehabilitation plan for Arap Stream that includes in-stream and green infrastructure techniques.

TaĢkın alanlarındaki yerleĢimlere tehdit oluĢturmaması açısından kentsel akarsuların güzergâhları değiĢtirilmiĢ, beton kanallara alınmıĢ veya yer altına alınarak “ıslah” edilmiĢlerdir. Akarsu ekosistemlerinin zarar görmesi yalnızca ekolojiyi tahrip etmemiĢ, ayrıca kent kimliklerinin ve değerlerinin de yitirilmesine sebep olmuĢtur. Zaman içerisinde yapılan müdahalelerin daha yıkıcı etkilere sebep olduğunun anlaĢılması ile akarsuların ekolojik rehabilitasyonu tüm dünyada gündeme gelmiĢtir. Bu yaklaĢım akarsuların yalnızca ekosistemini iyileĢtirmemiĢ, aynı zamanda kent peyzajına da önemli katkı sağlamıĢtır. Bu çalıĢma, sürdürülebilir su yönetimi çerçevesinde kentsel akarsuların ekolojik ıslahını ele almaktadır. Bu bağlamda, çalıĢma yeĢil altyapıyı bir araç olarak kullanıp kentsel akarsularda yanlıĢ müdahalelerin etkisini azaltan ve aynı zamanda akarsu ıslahını sağlayan bütüncül ve entegre bir anlayıĢı ön plana çıkarmaktadır. ÇalıĢma farklı ülkelerde uygulanmıĢ pek çok baĢarılı örneğin yanı sıra, Arap Deresi ve çevresi için hazırlanan ıslah projesini de sunarak bu sorunlara nasıl çözüm getirilebileceğini ortaya koymaktadır. ÇalıĢmada kullanılan metoda göre, ilk olarak teorik literatür değerlendirilmiĢ, daha sonra uygulanmıĢ projeler irdelenmiĢ ve en son Arap Deresi ve çevresinin analizi yapılmıĢtır. Tüm elde edilen bulgular ile Arap Deresi ve çevresi için Ģehir, bölge ve mahalle ölçeğinde ilkeler geliĢtirmiĢtir. ÇalıĢma aynı zamanda bu yeĢil altyapı temelli ilkeleri kullanarak hazırladığı öneri projesini sunmaktadır.

Antikçağdan yirminci yüzyıla gelinceye kadar önemini koruyan Meles Deresi’nden yazarlar; ‘kutsal kabul edilen dere’ olarak bahsetmekte, Homeros’un adının Meles ile birlikte anıldığını bildirmektedir. Meles Deresi, seyyahların İzmir’e geldiklerinde uğramadan geçmediği, ticari yolların üzerinden yer aldığı bir dere olarak 19. yüzyılda önemini korumaya devam etmiştir. 20. yüzyıla gelindiğinde, hızlı kentleşmeden Meles Deresi’nin de etkilendiği, çevresini gecekondular ve sanayi binalarının kuşattığı, suyunun kirlendiği ve kanal içine alınarak dere görüntüsünden uzaklaştığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada Meles Deresi’nin öneminin geri kazandırılması, kentin simge alanlarından biri haline dönüştürülmesi ve kullanılırlığının arttırılması gerekliliği üzerinde durulmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Akarsu, Meles Deresi, İzmir, Akarsu – Kent etkileşimi FROM PAST TO EXTANT THE RIVER MELES ABSTRACT As the historical books on Izmir Province are studied, it is seen that ‘The River Meles’ have been frequently mentioned. The river preserving its importance from Ancient Ages to the 20th century, have been discussed by the writers as the ‘holy river’ and the name Homers have been mentioned with the river. In the 19th century, the River Meles preserved its importance as a river that the voyagers visited and the commercial accesses intersected. In the 20th century, the river was overwhelmed by urbanization, surrounded by the squatter houses and the industrial buildings and its water has been polluted; besides, by being involved in a channel, it does not look like a stream.

  • Railway Crossings: Encounters in Ottoman Lands
    RAILWAY CROSSINGS: ENCOUNTERS IN OTTOMAN LANDS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Elvan Cobb August 2018 © 2018 Elvan Cobb RAILWAY CROSSINGS: ENCOUNTERS IN OTTOMAN LANDS Elvan Cobb, Ph. D. Cornell University 2018 Railway Crossings: Encounters in Ottoman Lands focuses on the production of railway spaces in western Anatolia during the second half of the 19th century, with an emphasis on how spatial practices were altered with the advent of railways in the region. Understanding the railroads as a cultural as well as a material phenomenon, this work approaches the western Anatolian railways through a series of interdisciplinary vignettes that juxtapose the histories of the built environment with histories of technology, archaeology, travel, and the senses. In an effort to modernize its transportation infrastructure, the Ottoman government granted the first railway concessions in Anatolia to two British companies. The Izmir-Aydın and Izmir-Kasaba lines connected the port city of Izmir to the fertile river valleys of the Gediz, Küçük and Büyük Menderes rivers. The construction of railways was an intensely material act, requiring not only the laying of tracks and the construction of station buildings, but the alteration of a whole landscape. Beyond this physicality, the railroads were harbingers of new modes of interaction with space. They altered the commercial transportation networks of the region that had depended for centuries on camel caravans traveling along well-established but flexible pathways. People also found a new mobility in the train.

As the site became repopulated during the pax ottomanica following Timur’s decisive victory, the Turks gradually drifted down the hill from the quarter (ma- halle) of Faikpaşa, to Mescid-i Selâtinzade, Han Bey (Pazar), and Liman-i Izmir until by 1528-29 a solid band of Muslim settlement extended from castle to castle and obliterat- ed the ancient partition between Crusader and Turk … While these four quarters formed the heart of the renascent town, this downward movement did not develop its other two quarters, Boynuzseküsü and Cemaat-i Gebran. The first was a largely autonomous village near Izmir and linked only administratively to it. The second, a ‘community of Christians’ (cemaat-i gebran), constituted a Greek Orthodox enclave adjoining the harbor. Its twenty- nine households, whose members rebuilt their quarter in the decade after Timur’s onslaught, comprised approximately 14 percent of the town’s inhabitants. Daniel Goffman (1990)5 History At first glance, the paradigm of the Islamic city seems particularly well suited to Izmir.

  • Sparrows and Apples : the Unity of Catullus 2
    Alexander the Great and the Double Nemesis: The Construction of a Foundation Myth Christina T. Kuhn It was in the first and second centuries AD that the Graeco-Roman poleis of Asia Minor began to show an extraordinarily strong interest in their past and increasingly made foundation legends the focal point of their public representation.1 The city of Smyrna was no exception. It prided itself on several glorious mythological and historical founders such as the Amazon, Theseus, Pelops and Alexander the Great.2 Among the various foundation myths, the myth of Smyrna’s foundation by Alexander as attested in Pausanias’ Periēgēsis has particularly caught the attention of modern scholarship. As the story goes, the king of the Macedonians came, whilst hunting, to Mount Pagos. Exhausted, he fell asleep under a plane tree at the nearby temple of the Nemeseis. In a dream, two Nemeseis appeared to him; they told him to found a city at the place where he rested and to make the Smyrnaeans move from their former city (which had been destroyed) and settle there. The citizens thereupon sent ambassadors to the oracle of Apollo at Klaros near Kolophon, from whom they received the following promising message: ‘Thrice blessed shall they be and four times blessed again, the men who shall dwell on Pagos beyond the holy river Meles’. As a result, the Smyrnaeans moved the new settlement across the river, and, in addition, started worshipping two Nemeseis rather than one.3 Pausanias’ account, written in the second half of the second century AD, reveals some remarkable differences and inconsistencies when considered against the evidence of the earlier source material.4 In his Geography Strabo does not mention Alexander as a founder of Smyrna at all.

Some recent studies have argued that typical pilgrims of this period were members of the intellectual elite highly versed in literary culture (paideia) who saw sacred places as museums of Greek culture.
