Abstract

Winter cities are places, where winter season is long, cold, and dark. Besides, they have harsh climatic conditions. Due to the impacts of climate conditions on active urban life, creating vital public places for supporting community life and social relations is a significant design issue in these cities. Designs that consider climate conditions, where negative effects are mitigated, are essential for creating sustainable and living public environments. In the scope of this paper, winter cities and design criteria for creating public places in these urban areas are discussed, and the role of local governments on sustainability and maintenance of urban space and public places are attempted to be emphasized. By examining different literature studies and examples, this study is important as an urban design guide for winter cities in Turkey with its practical and implementable suggestions.

Özet

Kış kentleri, yılın büyük bir kısmını soğuk, karanlık ve sert iklim koşullarında geçiren yerleşimlerdir. İklim etkileri sebebi ile aktif yaşamın azaldığı bu yerleşimlerde, sosyal ilişkileri güçlendirmek için yaşayan kamusal mekânlar yaratmak önemli bir tasarım problemidir. İklim etkilerini dikkate alan ve negatif etkilerin azaltıldığı tasarımlar sürdürülebilir ve yaşayan kamusal çevreler yaratılmasında önemlidir. Çalışma kapsamında kış kentleri ve bu kentlerde kamusal mekânların yaratılmasında ele alınan tasarım kriterleri tartışılmış, yaratılan mekânların sürdürülebilirliğinde yerel yönetimlerin önemi ve etkinliği vurgulanmaya çalışılmıştır. Literatür araştırmalar ile şekillendirilen ve örnekler ile zenginleştirilen çalışma, Türkiye'deki kış kentleri için uygulamaya yönelik tasarım rehberi niteliği taşıması bakımından önemlidir.
