İZMİR METRO SİSTEMİ’NİN ÇEVRESİNDE MEYDANA GELEN DEMOGRAFİK VE MEKÂNSAL ETKİLERİN İNCELENMESİ
Demirdağ, Gülsüm Ecem
Bu araştırmanın temel amacı İzmir Metro sistemi çevresinde meydana gelen mekânsal değişim ve gelişimle birlikte demografik değişimlerin incelenmesi ve planlama pratiğinin yerinin irdelenmesidir. Bu kapsamda metro hattının 1000 metrelik etki alanı içinde gerçekleştirilen plan tadilatları ve kent bütününde yarattığı demografik ve çevresel etkiler incelenmiş, metro hattının inşasıyla aralarındaki ilişki analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analiz ve araştırma sonucunda metro hattının mahallelerdeki nüfus ve yoğunluk değişimleri üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olmadığı, Kazımdirik mahallesi haricinde anlamlı değişimlerin meydana gelmediği ve yapılan plan tadilatlarının tekil talepler üzerinden devam ederek kapsamlı değişimlerin meydana gelmediği bulunmuştur. Mahallelerin metro duraklarına erişilebilirliğiyl...
EXAMINING VARIABLES EFFECTING HOUSING PRICES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
Gülsüm Ecem Demirdağ
There are many factors that people pay attention while choosing housing. In addition to the physical characteristics of the housing; spatial features such as the distance of the housing to the city center, work and educational areas, public transportation stops also play an important role in the selection of housing. Although the distance of the housing to these places does not change, access will be much easier within the facilities provided by the existing transportation infrastructure. In parallel with urbanization and population growth, as a result of the increases in housing demand, there have been significant increases in housing prices. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the variables affecting housing prices and to examine the connection between transportation and ...

Mapping Urban Growth Through Landscape Expansion Index and Land Use Analysis: Evidence from Western Turkey
Gülsüm Ecem Demirdağ
This study investigates the dynamics of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes along the İzmir-Denizli Highway corridor in western Turkey from 1984 to 2025, utilizing remote sensing techniques and the Landscape Expansion Index (LEI) to analyze urban growth patterns. Employing cloud-free Landsat satellite imagery and the Random Forest classification algorithm within Google Earth Engine, the research identifies and quantifies built-up area expansion over four decades. The findings reveal a significant increase in built-up areas, particularly after 2000, with a total expansion from 45682 hectares in 1984 to 68869 hectares in 2025. The analysis highlights a predominance of edge-expansion growth (71.3%), with outlying growth (27.4%) and minimal infilling growth (1.3%). This trend indicates a sh...
