“…Unlike studies focusing on developed world cities and ignoring the characteristics of the residential environments, this research argued the necessity to assess the residential satisfaction among different residential environment residents in a medium-sized Turkish city. Taking advantage of the questionnaires developed by Türkoğlu et al . (2008, 2011) for the city of Istanbul, a survey was conducted to explore the factors affecting the residential satisfaction among the residents living in the different residential environments of Kayseri, which develops more slowly compared to Turkey's largest cities, and where different periods of urban development can be followed in the urban pattern.…”

PurposeAs an important indicator of the quality of life of individuals, residential environments are continuing to evolve, due to the rapidly changing production–consumption relations. However, in this evolving process, the effect of the differentiated residential environments on the individuals' residential satisfaction remains unclear. This paper aims to measure the effects of the varying residential environments on the overall quality of urban life (QoUL) in Kayseri, one of the most developed cities in Central Anatolia.Design/methodology/approachIt is based on empirical data on the quality of life in the different residential environments of Kayseri. The research method used stratified purposeful sampling, and the household survey data were analyzed using factor analysis, multiple regression and ANOVA statistical methods.FindingsThe most influential factors on the overall QoUL of individuals living in different Kayseri residential neighborhoods were satisfaction with neighborhood and city-level urban services, neighborhood relations and belonging factor groups. The critical finding obtained in this study is that residential satisfaction in low-rise and compact form housing areas in Kayseri is higher compared to residential satisfaction in high-rise neighborhoods. This result reveals that the high-rise building typology that is dominant in Turkey's big cities should be seriously questioned, and urban development policies should be re-evaluated.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was designed to produce baseline data so that future changes in residential conditions as perceived by the residents of Kayseri could be monitored to support decisions for residential areas.Originality/valueComparative case studies, particularly on low-rise versus high-rise environments, are scarce. As a result, this research contributes to the field of comparative studies on residential environments.

Iraq has multiple water resources, so it urgently needs legislation to develop its river bank and benefit from its water resources. The purpose of this study is to investigate the shortcomings in the lack of development of the urban landscape of riverfronts in Iraqi cities by reviewing the legislative aspect of the laws regulating them, which are supposed to improve the quality of life for its citizens and achieve better environmental, social, economic and urban exploitation. This research was carried out using a qualitative approach, by analyzing the content of legislation and guidelines for urban landscapes for waterfronts in regional countries, finding urban design principles in them, and comparing them with the current Iraqi laws through the checklist. The results show that there are shortcomings in the Iraqi legislation for riverfronts and that it does not keep pace with the changes taking place in the world. The results were used to present proposals for the development of urban landscape legislation for the riverfront in Iraqi cities, in line with their social, economic and environmental conditions.

“…This percent for the city surrounded by the water is low (The Marmara Sea waterfronts are the most expansive area, covering 7.475,000 m 2 green area with the highest level of the reclaimed project. The Bosphorus waterfront parks are 2.850,000 m 2 , and the Halic Province waterfront parks are 1.150,000 m 2 ) (Butuner, 2006;Gunay and Dokmeci, 2012;Turko glu and Secmen, 2019;Koramaz and T€ urko glu, 2014). Unlike most of Istanbul's coasts located in the north, the waterfronts in the city's south are built up.…”

PurposeThis paper's main objective emphasizes the importance of waterfront design in coastal cities. It reveals that a location is associated with the activities it hosts to become attractive for people or, in other words, to be a destination. In this respect, it proposes students' concept projects for the selected waterfront field study in Istanbul.Design/methodology/approachThis study's conceptual framework is designed according to the qualities compiled from the place-diagram and the power of 10+ (plus) concepts of the PPS (project for public spaces). Accordingly, a fieldwork study based on the qualitative and quantitative research method was conducted as fieldwork in the Istanbul Sarayburnu waterfront, where historical and touristic sight-seeings of the Golden Horn meet with the Bosphorus coastal line. In addition to photo-video recordings, survey questions were also prepared during the field study.FindingsSurvey questions inquiries multi questions searching for the place-diagram qualities provide suggestions of 90 people who responded in situ. Results of the case study highlight six alternative proposal projects for the fieldwork prepared based on the power of 10+ concept by the third grade students of the School of Architecture of Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University (IZU). Based on the survey questions and literature review findings, 10 sub-spatial qualities of waterfronts were disaggregated at the end of the study.Research limitations/implicationsThe power of 10+ concept in the study provides a gauge for architects and urban planners; it gives them an excellent tool for assessing the quality of public spaces for placemaking in waterfronts.Originality/valuePrevious studies have generally been based on the PPS's place-diagram qualities with little mention of the interaction with the power of 10+ concept in placemaking. The proposed sub-qualities in the paper's conclusion contribute to architects and urban planners considering a model approach derived from those PPS concepts.
