Name, Surname: Züleyha Sara Belge Signature: iv ABSTRACT MOBILITY AND THE ROLE OF PEDESTRIAN IN MAKING PUBLIC SPACE: MERSİN COASTAL PARK Belge, Züleyha Sara Doctor of Philosophy, City and Regional Planning Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Müge Akkar Ercan February 2020, 282 pages Public space, being an inevitable component of cities, is an evolving space that transforms, expands or shrinks. Public spaces of cities, in general, constitute squares and streets that are open to the use of the whole society freely. Recreative areas, parks, coastal areas, most of the open spaces and public buildings, such as schools, administrative centres, are also other forms of public spaces. Over the last four decades, private or quasi-private public spaces, like shopping malls, and the privatization of public spaces have been discussed by scholars from different fields of social sciences, too. In any time, planning and designing of public space is a fundamental topic in urban planning and design literature. However, are all public spaces effectively accessed and used by everyone in terms of their ownership or inclusivity? Specifically, what are the roles of the pedestrians and their accessibility for making genuine public spaces? This Ph.D. thesis focuses on the role of pedestrian movement and mobility in making public space in the fields of planning and urban design. It investigates the accessibility qualities of public urban spaces by proposing a model allows that comparative analysis of inner and outer factors of mobility and pedestrian behaviour. This model is a unique approach for public space in terms of pedestrian movement. Thus, it is possible to v spatially evaluate the potential and possibilities in making public space. As the case study, it examines the coastal park is one of the best examples in Mersin to discuss the role of pedestrian movement and mobility in terms of planning and urban design affecting making public space. The coastal park which has been transformed and evolved since the beginning of the 20th century by coastal the coastal park in the same context are efficiently used, some other zones could not be but is used or ignored by pedestrians. Therefore, this research shows how accessibility qualities affect public space-making and how the mobility capacity of pedestrians is crucial in creating genuine liveable and sustainable public spaces.

Genel olarak, tüm toplumun özgürce kullanımına açık meydanlar ve sokaklar, şehirlerin kamusal alanlarını oluşturur. Rekreasyon alanları, parklar, deniz kıyıları, açık alanların büyük bir bölümü, okullar, idari merkezler gibi kamu binaları diğer kamusal alanlardır. Son kırk yılda, alışveriş merkezleri gibi özel veya yarı özel kamusal alanların gelişimi ve kamusal alanların özelleştirilmesi, farklı sosyal bilimler alanlarından akademisyenler tarafından da tartışılmıştır. Herhangi bir zamanda, kamusal alanın planlanması ve tasarımı, kentsel planlama ve tasarım yazınında tartışılan ana konulardan biridir. Ancak, tüm kamusal alanlar, sahiplik veya kapsayıcılık açısından herkes tarafından etkin bir şekilde erişilebilir ve kullanılabilir midir? Özellikle yayanın ‘erişilebilirliği’ ve rolü, kamusal bir alan oluşturmak açısından nedir? Bu doktora tezi, planlama ya da kentsel tasarım alanlarında kamusal alan oluşumunda yaya hareketi ve hareketliliğin rolüne odaklanmaktadır. Bir model önererek kamusal kentsel alanların erişilebilirlik özelliklerini araştırmaktadır. Geliştirilen model hareketin ve yaya davranışlarının iç ve dış etmenlerini karşılaştırmalı olarak irdelemeye olanak sağlamaktadır. Geliştirilen model kamusal alanın yaya hareketi bağlamında değerlendirilmesi için özgün bir yaklaşımdır. Bu sayede, mekânsal olarak kamusal alan oluşumuna ilişkin olanakların ve potansiyellerin değerlendirilmesi vii mümkün olmuştur. Yaya hareketini ve erişim kapasitesini ve bu gelişimi etkileyen planlama ve kentsel tasarım faktörleri açısından incelemek için Mersin’in kıyı parkındaki kamusal mekân gelişimi önemli bir örnek oluşturmaktadır. Mersin kıyı parkı, 20. yüzyılın başından bu yana, şehir genişledikçe kıyı dolgu operasyonları ile dönüştürülmüş ve gelişmiştir. Bu park alanının bazı bölgeleri aynı bağlamda verimli bir şekilde kullanılarak üretilmiştir. Ancak, bu parkın bazı bölgeleri yayalar tarafından çok etkin kullanılırken, bazı bölgeleri ise kullanılamaz veya göz ardı edilmiş alanlardan oluşmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, bu araştırma erişilebilirlik özelliklerinin kamusal alan yapımını nasıl etkilediğini ve yayaların hareket kabiliyet kapasitesinin gerçek yaşanabilir ve sürdürülebilir kamusal alanlar yaratmada nasıl önemli olduğunu göstermektedir.

The upper Holocene sedimentary sequence (C) is characterized by stratified (simple to complex) to chaotic reflection configurations produced by the development of a prograding wedge of terrigenous sediment. Particular occurrences of slope- and front-fill facies and the lack of a sharp boundary, which has, however, been observed on the western shelf of this bay, between the Early Holocene and latest Pleistocene deposits are related to possible movement of underlying deposits due to local gravity mass movements or synsedimentary tectonics due to adjustment of the underlying evaporites in adjacent basin. The maximum thickness of the topmost sequence C is associated with the Tarsus– Seyhan delta, which lies to the northeast of the area and is prograding along the shelf.

Although it does not have any natural predators on our coasts, Mediterranean monk seal population gradually diminishes due to irresponsible and unplanned human activities.

Many rivers rise from the mountains and flow into the seas surrounding the country. Mean while along fertile plains around the riversp and coastal floodplains of Turkey were Publication Data densely populated than the other parts of the country. These characteristics show that there is a significant relationship between river basins and population or settlements. It is understood from this point of view, Mersin Paper received: city and its vicinity (coastal floodplain and nearby river basins) show similar relationship. The city of Mersin was 28 October 2010 built on the southwest corner of Cukurova where Delicay ando Efrenk creeks create narrow coastal floodplain. The plain has rich potential for agricultural practices with fertile alluvial soils and suitable climate. However, Revised received: establishment of the port at the shore have increased commercial activity. Agricultural and commercial potential 12 July 2011 have attracted people to the area, and eventually has caused rapid spatial expansion of the city, and the urban sprawls over fertile agricultural lands along coastal floodplain and nearby river basins of the city.
