Transformation of Post Industrial Areas Into Public Open and Green Spaces; Ankara Maltepe Gasworks Example

Abstract

Transforming post-ındustrial areas into public spaces is a common practice in urban areas. Maltepe Gasworks in Ankara, Türkiye, was selected for this study. The research aims to develop a new landscape design that enhances the area’s ecological, historical, and economic assets. In this context, the study consists of four stages. In the first stage, literature research was conducted. In the second stage, a SWOT analysis was carried out. Later, a new industrial landscape design proposal was developed for the region, taking into account ecological, historical and economic considerations. Finally, the current situation of the area and the new landscape design are compared. The SWOT analysis and neighborhood analysis used in the study revealed that the region lacks a historical identity and a green connection. With the new landscape design proposed for the area, a landscape design that takes into account ecological, historical identity and economic parameters has been developed. With the study, the area's historical identity, ecological and economic value have been allocated. In addition, the amount of green space is increased and the relationship between other green spaces is further strengthened with the proposed industrial landscape design.

Kullanılmayan sanayi alanlarının kamuya açık yeşil alana dönüştürülmesi; Ankara Maltepe Gazhanesi örneği

Abstract

Kentsel alanlarda post-endüstriyel alanların kamusal alanlara dönüştürülmesi yaygın bir uygulamadır. Çalışma alanı olarak Türkiye'nin başkenti Ankara'daki Maltepe Gazhanesi seçilmiştir. Araştırma, bölgenin ekolojik, tarihi ve ekonomik değerini geliştiren yeni bir peyzaj tasarımı geliştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışma dört aşamadan oluşmaktadır. İlk aşamada literatür araştırması yapılmıştır. İkinci aşamada SWOT analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Daha sonra bölge için ekolojik, tarihi ve ekonomik hususları da göz önünde bulunduran yeni bir endüstriyel peyzaj tasarım önerisi geliştirilmiştir. Son olarak alanın mevcut durumu ile yeni peyzaj tasarımı karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan SWOT analizi ve yakın çevre analizleri ile bölgede tarihi bir kimliğin ve yeşil bağın olmadığı görülmüştür. Alan için önerilen yeni peyzaj tasarımı ile ekolojik, tarihi kimlik ve ekonomik parametrelerin dikkate alındığı bir peyzaj tasarımı geliştirilmiştir. Çalışma ile bölgenin tarihi kimliğinin, ekolojik ve ekonomik değerlerinin ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca önerilen bu endüstriyel peyzaj tasarımı ile yeşil alan miktarı arttırılırken, diğer yeşil alanlar arasındaki ilişki daha da güçlendirilmiştir.

Keywords
