Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged at the end of 2019 and is expected to continue for a few more years, is continuing to seriously affect people's lives socially, psychologically, and economically from many aspects. This process showed us that designing the built environment to reduce the impact of the pandemic is crucial since the pandemic spread as a result of people's contact with each other within the built environment. This study was conducted with this point of view, and it examined whether the “Neighborhood Sustainability” concept, which promises economically, socially and environmentally sustainable built environments, can contribute to reducing the impact of future pandemics. For this purpose, firstly, the built environment design elements related to the spread of the pandemic were identified. Through a comprehensive literature review, suggestions for the improvements and changes related to the urban design elements in the context of the pandemic were determined. Then, how these issues are handled in the LEED-ND system, which is currently the most known and widely used neighborhood sustainability assessment system, were examined, and some suggestions for the adaptation of LEED-ND were presented. The study is thought to make significant contributions to the literature to reveal the importance of sustainable neighborhood design and construction in terms of pandemics and shed light on the development studies of Neighborhood Sustainability Assessment (NSA) systems

Özet

2019 yılı sonunda ortaya çıkan ve birkaç yıl daha devam etmesi beklenen COVID-19 salgını, insanların hayatlarını sosyal, psikolojik ve ekonomik olarak birçok yönden ciddi şekilde etkilemeye devam ediyor. Bu süreç, salgının yapılı çevre içerisinde insanların birbiri ile teması sonucu yayılması ve alınan tedbirlerin doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak yapılı çevre üzerinde etkileri olması nedeniyle, yapılı çevrenin pandeminin etkisini azaltacak şekilde tasarlanmasının çok önemli olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu bakış açısıyla gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada, ekonomik, sosyal ve çevresel açıdan sürdürülebilir yapılı çevreler vaat eden Mahalle Sürdürülebilirliği kavramının gelecekte ortaya çıkması muhtemel pandemilerin etkisinin azaltılmasına katkı sağlayıp sağlamayacağı incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla öncelikle pandeminin yayılması ve pandemi önlemleri ile ilgili yapılı çevre tasarım unsurları belirlenmiştir. Sonraki aşamada kapsamlı bir literatür taraması yapılarak pandemi bağlamında kentsel tasarım unsurlarına ilişkin iyileştirme ve değişiklik önerileri tespit edilmiştir. Ardından, şu anda en çok bilinen ve yaygın olarak kullanılan mahalle sürdürülebilirlik değerlendirme sistemi olan LEED-ND sisteminde söz konusu önerilerin nasıl ele alındığı incelenmiş ve LEED-ND sisteminin uyarlanmasına yönelik bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Çalışmanın, sürdürülebilir mahalle tasarımı ve inşasının salgınlar açısından önemini ortaya koyması ve Mahalle Sürdürülebilirlik Değerlendirme (NSA) sistemlerinin geliştirilmesi çalışmalarına ışık tutması açısından literatüre önemli katkılar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
