Abstract

One of the most
important problems encountered in urban transformation applications is to allow
an understanding of urbanization in order to convince the inhabitants of the
transformation zone and to increase the value of the land. In particular, it is
a method used by politicians to save the day and get votes. These extra zoning
increases lacking scientific foundation make the city's quality of life, transportation,
air and water worse from day to day. For those who dream of living in the
transformational areas, which are old, worn, not resistant to
earthquake-resistant structures, and in the realm of implementation within the
framework of international planning standards, these extreme zoning promises
become a dystopian city at the end of all.

 

In this article,
in the light of national and international standards and recommendations,
zoning parameters (floor area ratio – FAR, building coverage ratio (BCR),
construction area, car park, shelter, etc.), which is one of the major problems
of the transformation areas, are formed by combining planning, architectural
thinking and engineering parameters. It is attempted to bring a regulatory
proposal to the Draft Urban Transformation Model (DUTM).
