A convenience sample survey was conducted at a education university (N = 1487), analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Findings showed that NLEs directly predicted (β 0.399, 95% CI [0.339, 0.452], p < 0.001) undergraduates. Furthermore, this partially mediated by 0.182, [0.145, 221], 0.001); SES moderated link 0.051, [0.004, 092], 0.05), but not (p > 0.05).

Kentsel Dönüşüm Projesiyle Üretilen Yapılı Çevrenin Yaşam Kalitesi Üzerine Etkisi: Saraycık Mahallesi- Ankara

PLANARCH - Design and Planning Research, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 8(1), С. 12 - 24

Опубликована: Март 25, 2024

Afet riski gibi pek çok nedenle üretilen kentsel dönüşüm projeleri mekânın şekillenmesinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Ayrıca toplum üzerinde boyutlu etkileri olan projeleri, bireylerin yaşam kalitelerini ve yapılı çevreye ilişkin memnuniyetlerini doğrudan etkilemektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, projelerinin konut sakinlerinin günlük yaşamları kaliteleri üzerindeki etkisini tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma için örneklem olarak seçilen projesi, Ankara Sincan ilçesinde müstakil ruhsatsız yapılardan oluşan bir mahalle Saraycık Mahallesi'nde Toplu Konut İdaresi tarafından üretilmiştir. Çalışma, fiziksel dönüşümün, öncesi bölgede yaşayan insanların yaşamlarını nasıl etkilediğini incelemektedir. Dönüşüm projesi yeni ortamı yaşamlarındaki değişim hakkındaki görüşleri hakkında veri toplamak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Görüşme sonuçları, dönüşümden önce insanların, projesinin yarattığı ortamına uyum sağlamakta zorlandıklarını göstermektedir. üretilirken, projenin sakinler muhtemel sosyal etkilerinin göz önünde bulundurulması projesinden etkilenen sakinlerin de sürece dahil edilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır.
