Tactical urbanism involves small, temporary interventions in public spaces to meet daily needs through the collaboration of various stakeholders. This paper aims to foster tactical urbanism in vacant lots, emphasising the significance of incorporating diverse perspectives. The study, based on participatory action research, discusses the individual viewpoints of young city planner candidates assuming diverse roles across three themes: belonging, aesthetics, and usefulness, and to evaluate the results of two-method exercises applied in the Kar & scedil;& imath;yaka case study in & Idot;zmir. Participants, consisting of students from various universities in T & uuml;rkiye, expressed their individual opinions and collective viewpoints through the techniques of photovoice and six thinking hats, respectively. Comparing two methods for evaluating vacant lots within three themes of tactical urbanism demonstrated that the photovoice technique enabled students to search for meanings of spaces and express their thoughts through photos. Meanwhile, the six thinking hats technique facilitated empathy towards diverse perspectives. The findings underscore the essentiality of adopting a holistic approach to urban design that encompasses aesthetics, functionality, and inclusivity, integrating diverse opinions. Young planner candidates in this study acknowledged the importance of collaboration and diverse perspectives in urban design and planning.

In this context, this article aims to analyze the biophilic elements in Abdullah Gul University (AGU) Sumer Campus and 3 education buildings for the interaction tendency between nature and humans. This examination encompasses two processes, first, taking photographs through onsite observation and applying a survey. On-site observation and photography included author-collected evidence of biophilic elements on campus. A questionnaire was conducted to analyze the awareness of biophilic elements among the occupants of the AGU education buildings and campus. It was determined how many biophilic design principles exist in buildings and how aware the occupants are of these principles. Due to this detection, the potentials and shortcomings of the AGU education buildings and campus were brought to light in terms of biophilic design. In the research, the AGU campus and 3 main education buildings, which have significance in the historical spatial memory of the city of Kayseri and are in the restoration process, were chosen as a case. Buildings under restoration within the campus were excluded. In addition, 14 biophilic patterns identified by Browning, Ryan, and Clancy constitute the scope of this study. The research can be applied to other university campuses in the city of Kayseri. This awareness in education buildings will also lay the groundwork for the spread of biophilic criteria on an urban scale.The research treats education campuses and buildings as a small representation of the urban scale. With the analysis of biophilic elements, the AGU campus has original value in defining it as an example of a biophilic campus.

Yerin topografik özellikleri doğrultusunda yerel malzeme ve yapım teknikleri kullanılarak yöreye özgü üretildikleri için kullanıcısı ile doğrudan ve yakın ilişki içerisindedirler. Zamanla koruma kuramlarında da yerini bulmuş olan tarihi kırsal yerleşimler, geleneksel ve yerel mimarlıklarıyla dikkat çekmektedirler. ICOMOS-IFLA’nın geliştirdiği tanımla kırsal peyzaj mirası olarak adlandırılan bu alanlar doğal, arkeolojik ve mimari gibi somut ve somut olmayan değerleri ile bir bütün olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Günümüzde pek çok araştırma kırsal mirasın bütünleşik bir şekilde korunma sorunları üzerine yoğunlaşmaktadır. Bu çalışma, söz konusu araştırmalardan farklı -ama onları geliştiricibir yaklaşımla, habitus üzerinden kırsal peyzajları anlamlandırmayı hedeflemektedir. Kırsal peyzajlarda üretilen geleneksel mimarlığı anlamlandırabilmek, kullanıcısını ve içerisinde ortaya çıktığı habitusu anlamaktan geçmektedir. Toplumların gündelik hayat biçimleri, gelenekleri, kolektif hafızaları ve tarihleri gibi değerlerini üreten ve onlar tarafından üretilen geleneksel kırsal alanları ve habitusları arasında dinamik bir bağ vardır. Her zaman bir dönüşüm içerisinde olan habitus, çevresini de değiştirip-dönüştürmektedir. Bu süreç içerisinde sanayileşme, teknolojik gelişmeler ve küreselleşme gibi etkiler kırsal peyzajlarını özgün değerlerini kaybetme tehdidiyle karşı karşıya getirmektedir. Kırsal peyzajları korumanın ilk adımı, bu alanları ve yarattıkları özgün değerleri anlayabilmede ve değişimi öngörebilir kılmakta yatmaktadır. Bu çalışma, bu bakışla, kırsal mirasın oluşum ve yaşama serüveninde habitusun rolünü sorgulamaktadır. Yapılan araştırmalarda ve oluşturulan hipotezde habitusun kırsal peyzajlar ve doğal, yapılı ve sosyo-kültürel çevresi arasında kurduğu yapılandırıcı etkiyi ortaya çıkarmayı ve yaşayan kırsal peyzajların sürdürülmesi çalışmalarına katkıda bulunmak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada örneklem alan seçilmeksizin kırsal peyzajları ve dinamiklerini anlamak için literatürden geliştirilen yöntem kırsal peyzaj mirasının korunma çalışmalarında kullanılmak üzere sunulmuştur. Habitus yarattığı denge ile kırsal peyzajların doğal, somut ve somut olamayan bileşenlerini birbirine bağlamakta, yerin ruhunun oluşmasını ve beraber sürdürülmelerine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu dengeyi anlamak ve bütüncül koruma yaklaşımlarına dikkat çekmek amacıyla ilişkiler ağı detaylıca ortaya dökülmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında habitusun tanımı, çevre ve pratikler üzerinden açıklanmış ve kırsal peyzaj ile ilişkisi tek yapı ve yerleşim üzerinden aktarılmıştır. Yaşayan miras alanları olan kırsal yerleşimler için değişim -ne yazık ki- kaçınılmazdır ve süreç doğru yönetilmediği takdirde sonuçlar mirasın yitirilmesine yol açmaktadır. Önerilen yaklaşımın farklı her kırsal peyzaj miras alanı için özelleştirilmesi ve yeniden kurulması gerekmektedir. Çünkü her miras alanı biriciktir ve kendine özgü sorunları vardır. Çalışma, kırsal miras alanlarında habitus değişiminin yaratmakta olduğu etkiler ve yönetimi konusunda farkındalık yaratmayı ve değişime özgün değerleri koruyarak eşlik edebilen dirençli kırsal miras alanlarının oluşturulmasının önemini vurgulamayı hedeflemektedir.; Rural heritage areas consist of natural and built environments produced concerning local and traditional life practices, production-consumption habits, and intangible values of societies. This environment is created vernacularly using local materials and construction techniques due to the topographical features where it is built and is in contact with local users. For this reason, it is valuable to explain the meaning of vernacular architecture to understand its users and the habitus that emerges from it. Historical rural settlements, which have found their place in conservation theories over time, attract attention with their traditional and vernacular architecture. These areas, called “rural landscape as heritage” by definition developed by ICOMOS-IFLA, are accepted as a whole with their tangible and intangible components such as natural, archaeological, and architectural. Today, plenty of research is about integrated conservation issues of rural landscape heritages. The study, differently from theirs, plans to discuss the rural landscapes through habitus. It is possible to interpret the vernacular architecture produced in rural landscapes by understanding its user and the habitus in which it emerges. Moreover, there is a dynamic link between the traditional rural areas and the habitus of societies that produce and are produced by their daily lifestyles, traditions, collective memories, and histories. The habitus, which is always transformed, begins to adapt its environment to the change by this link. In this changing process, effects such as industrialization, technological developments, and globalization threaten rural landscapes to lose their authentic values. The first step in the conservation of rural landscapes lies in understanding these areas and their values and making change predictable. From this point of view, this study questions the role of habitus in the formation and life cycle of rural heritage. The research and the hypothesis created aim to contribute to the studies about sustainable living in rural landscapes by revealing the structuring effect of the habitus between the rural landscapes and their natural, built, and socio-cultural environments. In the study, the method developed from the literature to understand rural landscapes and their dynamics without studying the case is presented for use in rural landscape heritage conservation studies. Habitus connects the natural, tangible, and intangible components of rural landscapes by the balance it creates and contributes to the formation and maintenance of the spirit of place. In order to understand this balance and draw attention to holistic conservation approaches, the network of relations has been tried to be revealed in detail. Within the scope of the study, the definition of habitus was explained through the environment and practices, and its relationship with the rural landscape was conveyed through a single structure and settlement. The transition of living heritage is inevitable, but when it cannot be managed according to international regulations, the consequences will be the loss of rural heritage, which represents societies’ traditional lifestyles. The proposed approach needs to be customized and re-established for each different rural landscape heritage site. Because each heritage site is unique and has its own conservation problems. It is critical to raise awareness about the effects of habitus change in rural landscapes and their management and to emphasize the importance of creating resilient rural heritage areas that can accompany change by preserving authentic values.

To combat this, membrane production can effectively treat oil waste and recycle over 90% of it. This study compares the influence of SiO2 nanoparticles on oil rejection in two types of membranes: polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polysulfone (PSF). The SiO2 NPs are characterized by FTIR, SEM analysis, and zeta potential measurements. SiO2 NPs embedded PSF and PVDF membranes were characterized by FTIR, SEM analysis, contact angle, water permeability, oil rejection measurements, and recycling experiments. The results of the experiments showed that oil rejection reached maximum values of 92.2% for 2 wt% PSF/SiO2, and 94.1% for 2 wt% PVDF/SiO2 membranes. The experimental results demonstrate that the incorporation of SiO2 nanoparticles enhances the oil rejection efficiency of two distinct membrane types, exhibiting notable performance disparities contingent on the selected membrane material. This methodology achieves a recycling rate of over 90% for oil waste, signifying a substantial advancement in environmental protection and sustainable development. Consequently, the membrane production technique is regarded as an efficacious approach for the management and recycling of oil waste.
