Most countries globally confront the challenge of escalating population densities, accompanied by an increase in private transportation. This phenomenon has led to the degradation of urban environments in these nations, with a severe scarcity of urban spaces for residents, resulting in settings unsuitable for health and social well-being. Libya has long grappled with this issue, reaching a point where mechanical requirements superseded spatial needs of the populace. This has fostered behavioral randomness and a deficiency in urban patterns that preserve the human environment and foster the concept of humanization. This research, within its theoretical framework, illuminates the concept of urban design and its foundational principles. In its practical application, it presents a case study of an urban area, proposing strategies to revitalize urban spaces to accommodate the population and improve their environmental, social, health, and recreational needs. The study underscores the urgent necessity to re-evaluate the urban design paradigm to achieve appropriate humanization for community members in Libya.

Yer Oluşturma ve Kamusal Alanların Geliştirilmesi Yoluyla Libya Şehirlerinin İnsan Odaklı Düzenlenmesinde Kentsel Tasarımın Rolü

Günümüzde dünya genelinde pek çok ülke, hızla artan nüfus yoğunlukları ve buna paralel olarak özel ulaşım araçları kullanımındaki kayda değer yükseliş ile karşı karşıya bulunmaktadır. Bu durum, mekânsal morfolojinin bozulmasına, kamusal kentsel alanların miktar ve işlev bakımından azalmasına, ayrıca sağlık ve toplumsal sürdürülebilirlik açısından elverişsiz mekânların ortaya çıkmasına neden olmaktadır. Libya uzun yıllardır bu sorunla mücadele etmekte olup, süreç mekanik gereksinimlerin halkın mekânsal ve toplumsal ihtiyaçlarının önüne geçtiği kritik bir eşiğe ulaşmıştır. Bunun sonucu olarak kentsel dokunun sürekliliği zayıflamış, davranışsal rastlantısallık artmış ve insan-merkezli mekânsal düzenlemeleri destekleyen kentsel örüntüler giderek ortadan kalkmıştır. Bu araştırma, kavramsal çerçevesinde kentsel tasarım kavramını, onun kuramsal dayanaklarını ve temel ilkelerini ayrıntılı olarak tartışmaktadır. Çalışmanın uygulamalı kısmında, seçilmiş bir kentsel alan kapsamlı bir vaka analizi yöntemiyle ele alınmakta ve nüfusun barınma kapasitesini artıracak, çevresel kaliteyi iyileştirecek, sosyal bütünleşmeyi destekleyecek ve sağlık ile rekreasyonel gereksinimleri karşılayacak mekânsal canlandırma stratejileri geliştirilmektedir. Araştırma, Libya’daki kentsel tasarım paradigmalarının güncel kentleşme eğilimleri ışığında yeniden değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini, bu sürecin yalnızca fiziksel çevrenin değil, aynı zamanda toplumsal ilişkilerin ve kamusal yaşam kalitesinin de insan odaklı olarak düzenlemesinin aciliyet arz ettiğini vurgulamaktadır.
