Publication Urban consciousness among inhabitants of a city in Turkey: Bursa as a case(Elsevier Science, 2015-01-01) Sağocak, Mehtap; Arslan, Tülin Vural; Keskin, Enes Battal; Abbas, M. Y.; Bajunid, A. F. I.; Thani, S. K. M.; Sağocak, Mehtap; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi.; Abbas, M. Y.; Bajunid, A. F. I.; Thani, S. K. M.; AAH-2914-2021; DQV-6312-2022Urban consciousness as a concept related to understanding and adapting to the conditions and norms of living in a city has become an important aspect of life quality studies. In the content of this study, a statistical survey has been applied to 2000 inhabitants in Bursa, a city of Turkey with its historical, industrial, natural and social qualities. The survey is based on four criteria: awareness, belonging to, responsibility and transformation to analyze the "urban consciousness" of the inhabitants. This study with theoretical frame and survey results is hoped to be an applicable and developable model for various urban researches.Publication The role of local retailers' association in the sustainable development of a historical commercial district(Elsevier, 2015-01-01) Vural Arslan, Tülin; Abbas, MY; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi/Mimarlık Bölümü; Abbas, MY; AAH-2914-2021In this study it is aimed to discuss the participation models of local retailers' association to local development plans of Bursa Historical Bazaar and Han District for the last fifty years. The district is placed in the city of Bursa which is the fourth biggest city of Turkey in regarding to population. The explanation of the participation models of local retailers' association is constructed on Sherry Arnstein's description about citizen involvement in planning processes titled as "a ladder of participation". In the content of the paper, how Bursa Historical Bazaar and Han District Retailers' Association established by local retailers can provide collective and civic intelligence for the sustainable future of the district and how the association climb the ladder of participation will be discussed.Publication A framework proposal for resilience assessment in traditional commercial centres: Case of the historical bazaar of Bursa as a resilient world heritage site(Springer, 2022-10-05) Benabbou, Rachida; Bozdağ, Havva Tlemsani; Arslan, Tulin Vural; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi.Throughout history, the different cycles of change that traditional commercial centres (bazaars) have undergone in different Islamic cities call attention to the hidden abilities insuring their resilience until today. To understand the way in which these bazaar areas absorb and adapt to change, this paper investigates the resilience awareness of a specific case study 'the bazaar of Bursa', by dealing with key morphological, behavioural and institutional aspects. Several resilience assessment frameworks have been developed, including cultural, economic, and spatial proxies. However, most of them have focused on physical structures while assessing resilience concretely. This study represents a first step towards a Framework Proposal for resilience assessment in traditional commercial centres (bazaars) combining together tangible and intangible features specific to the historical bazaar of Bursa as a case study using a quantitative approach in a form of a survey. The findings showed a clear overlap between the tradesmen's perception of factors affecting resilience in the bazaar of Bursa and those proposed by authors. This research may help decision-makers gain a better understanding of the key hidden factors promoting resilience in such historical urban fabrics and guide them in making adequate planning decisions in the future.Publication Adaptive reuse as a strategy toward urban resilience(European Center Sustainable Development, 2016-01-01) Aytaç, Deniz Özge; Arslan, Tülin Vural; Durak, Selen; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; DURAK, SELEN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/ Mimarlık Fakültesi; AAH-2914-2021; AAH-1934-2021The significance of urban development has been realized again while acute shocks and chronic stresses (earthquake or unemployment) affect cities in a negative way. Therefore, urban resilience becomes more important for economic, environmental, and social sustainability of the built environment. There is a wide range of approaches to resilience in the literature such as ecological, engineering, and adaptive systems. Unlike others, adaptive resilience establishes a co-evolutionary interaction between actors (existing building) and the system (external effects) that leads to a continual process on their adjustment. In relation to cities, built environment is also under a constant change. As the advent of new technology has changed buildings' use, some of them have faced obsolescence in physical, economic, functional, technological, social, legal, and political ways. The importance of time-based design over form-based design thinking has come to the fore. However, existing obsolete buildings could gain new functions and contribute to urban resilience and sustainability through adaptive reuse method. The purpose of this study is to provide assessment criteria for existing buildings' adaptive reuse potential in the context of resilient cities. Thus, the research incorporates Holling's resilience cycle (1986) and Schmidt III et. al's building layers and time concept (2009) for resilient adaptive reuse strategies.Publication The evaluation of space quality in outdoor open spaces: Bursa historical bazaar and khans district as a case(European Center Sustainable Development, 2016-01-01) Şen, Seyhan; Arslan, Tulin Vural; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi.; AAH-2914-2021The evolution of urban life, resulting from the developments in technology, economics and social life, along side with rapid urbanisation has shaped functions and structures of urban outdoor spaces. Together with this change, the expectation of quality has also changed which necessitates the new definitions and parametres about the concept of quality of life. Because the concept of quality consists of various components, the promotion of these definitions and parameters requires taking the specific qualifications of the particular space into consideration. In this study, quality of life and space in Bursa Historical Bazaar and Khans District is evaluated in regard to parameters which are identified in the content of study. These parametres are developed both by the examination of related literature about the space quality and also surveys about the users' expectations from the site. In in order to identify the users' expectations from the site, a survey was conducted of 400 people in 4 well-known Khans in the district. The questionnaire items were factor analyzed to explore the principal components of outdoor space quality from the viewpoint of users.Publication Magnetism of shopping malls on young Turkish consumers(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2010-01-01) Arslan, Tülin Vural; Sezer, Filiz Şenkal; Işığıçok, Erkan; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; ŞENKAL SEZER, FİLİZ; IŞIĞIÇOK, ERKAN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi/Mimarlık Bölümü.; Q-3337-2017; AAH-2914-2021; JKU-8139-2023Purpose - The aim of this paper is to discuss the reasons behind the attractiveness of shopping malls for young consumers in Turkey and then to determine the attractiveness factors of malls for this segment from the consumers' perspective.Design/methodology/approach - The study was carried out through a survey of 621 young consumers (aged between 12-24) in three out-of-town selected shopping malls in Bursa, Turkey. For a general evaluation of the data, factor analysis is applied. It is considered as a valuable tool to reduce dimension and group different characteristics of young consumers' mall usage.Findings - The study reveals five mall attractiveness factors from the young Turkish consumers' perspective: retail environment, comfort conditions, socializing in a secure environment, accessibility, leisure. The importance of all these factors for this segment are evaluated with a comparative analysis with the findings of many other studies, analyzing the similar issues in relation to different cultures.Research limitations/implications - The sampling frame for this research was limited to young consumers in Bursa, Turkey. Study findings, although interesting, are clearly not generalizable to all populations of young consumers or even all Turkish young consumers.Practical implications - Identifying mall attractiveness factors for young consumers gives a better understanding about patronage motives than when it is applied to the market as a whole.Originality/value - This is one of the first studies to provide an insight of mall attractiveness factors as identified by young Turkish consumers from the viewpoint of an urban studies researcher, rather than marketing researchers.Publication Reading the transformation of ottoman sultan complexes in bursa in urban and architectural scale since 19th century(European Center Sustainable Development, 2017-01-01) DURAK, SELEN; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; Fetullahoğlu, İpek; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi; AAH-2798-2021; AAH-2914-2021; AAH-1934-2021The first Sultan Complexes (kulliyes) of the Ottoman Empire, built in Bursa during the 14th and 15th centuries, played an important role in the formation of residential buildings around and in determining the main transportation axes in the development of the city. These five complexes, including social and religious buildings, left significant traces in cityscape until the 20th century, in addition to their spiritual values in urban history and became an integral part of urban identity. From the 20th century onwards, the developing dynamics of cities threatened the sustainability of monumental buildings and endangered their original identity. Bursa was included in UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 2014 with these complexes that preserved their authenticity and integrity in large despite these changes. However, high-rise buildings in the city began to dominate cityscape and the visibility of the complexes in the city skyline gradually disappeared. In this study, transformation of Sultan Complexes of Early Ottoman Period in Bursa has been analysed in terms of urban and architectural scales from the 19th century onwards. By comparing 1862 Suphi Bey map -the first city map including the most comprehensive information about the urban fabric of Bursaand the actual city map, changes in urban fabric around the complexes have been identified. In addition, comparison of the 19th century city photographs and engravings with actual photographs helped to reveal the changes in city skyline and the transformations in architectural scale.Publication Architecture as a tool for community building in two different Islamic cultures: Case of Masjid Pathok Negoro and kulliye(European Center Sustainable Development, 2019-01-01) Lionar, Mario Lodeweik; Arslan, Tülin Vural; Durak, Selen; Lionar, Mario Lodeweik; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; DURAK, SELEN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi/Mimarlık Bölümü.; 0000-0002-6125-400X; AAH-2914-2021; AAH-1934-2021; GCC-5810-2022Masjid pathok negoro is a particular type of mosque found in Yogyakarta, Indonesia; while kiilliye is a type of Islamic building complex established in the Ottoman Period of Bursa in Anatolia (modern Turkey). Both of them are neighbourhood-scaled architectures which were built not only for religious purpose but also to develop the social environment around them.This paper aims to compare and to analyse the similarities as well as the differences between masjid pathok negoros in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and the kalliyes in Bursa, Turkey. Both can be considered as architectures which act as tools for community building in each of their cultures. The main difference is that the kalliyes were used for the creation of new settlements in Ottoman Period of Bursa, while masjid pathok negoros were used for the enhancement of the already-established settlements in the Sultanate of Yogyakarta.Publication Significance of cultural heritage preservation in sustainable cultural tourism: Muradiye complex in Bursa, Turkey(European Center Sustainable Development, 2016-01-01) Durak, Selen; DURAK, SELEN; Yeke, Saliha Tupal; Arslan, Tulin Vural; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi.; AAH-2914-2021; JMB-1340-2023; AAH-1934-2021Cultural tourism has become one of the important sectors of tourism in recent years with the growing awareness on cultural heritage. As being aware of the tourism potential of cultural heritage sites, policy makers pay special attention to preservation of these sites. However, the increasing number of visitors depending on the promotion of culture and history began to endanger the sustainability of heritage sites. In order to ensure the balance between preservation and utilization, researchers investigated the ways for welcoming large number of visitors without risking the sustainability.Bursa, as one of the recent UNESCO World heritage sites in Turkey, has a growing potential in terms of cultural tourism with its peculiar Ottoman urban pattern including building complexes called kulliyes. This situation caused an increase in the number of visitors. Muradiye Kulliye is one of the attracting places in Bursa in terms of its symbolic and historic characteristics including a mosque, a madrasa, a bath and the tombs of earlier Ottoman Sultans. This paper aims to describe the practices in terms of preservation for ensuring the sustainability of the complex.Publication Assessment of factors influencing walkability in shopping streets of tourism cities: Case of Bursa, Turkey(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2018-01-01) Arslan, Tülin Vural; Durak, Selen; Gebesce, Fatma Dizdar; Balçık, Belcin; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; DURAK, SELEN; Gebesce, Fatma Dizdar; Balçık, Belcin; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi/Mimarlık Bölümü.; AAH-1934-2021; AAH-2914-2021; EXF-0709-2022; JKX-2982-2023Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the principal factors affecting walkability from the viewpoint of the inhabitants of Bursa. It is intended to discover whether inhabitants' conception of factors affecting walkability complies with the factors identified by the authors in regard to literature review.Design/methodology/approach Based on several studies about influencing parameters of walkability, three main factors - spatial, social, economic - can be specified affecting the desire to walk by the user. In the content of this study, a conceptual model is developed for the assessment of factors influencing walkability. In this study, two different analysis methods are applied: qualitative approach: observation survey; and quantitative approach: questionnaire survey. By utilizing the conceptual model, a questionnaire is prepared and applied to 200 pedestrians in three streets. Moreover, the questionnaire items were factor analyzed to explore the principal factors affecting walkability from the viewpoint of the inhabitants of Bursa.Findings In the literature review part, the factors affecting walkability are defined as accessibility, comfort and use, environmental aesthetics, safety and security and connectivity. However, as a result of the survey applied to pedestrians in Bursa, it has been revealed that the most important factors are Accessibility, Comfort and Use, Traffic Safety, Crime Security and Connectivity, excluding the factor Environmental Aesthetics.Originality/value There is a need for studies which assess the factors influencing the walkability in tourism cities in depth. Tourism potential in Bursa, Turkey, has raised since it has been inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2014. Therefore, walkability became one of the important issues in urban planning decisions for the streets in the historic city center in policies of the local government. The studies that assess the factors influencing walkability and the satisfaction of the pedestrians will open up new visions for urban decision makers. Within the scope of this study, existing historic city center in Bursa has been analyzed in terms of walkability.
