“…Although privatization efforts could violate the fundamental attributes of public space use, there is a tendency for public to use such spaces within shopping malls and arcades (Nambuge, Peiris, & Kalugalla, 2020;Leclercq, Pojani, & Bueren, 2020). The same reasons have created public space provision by private sector promoted by governments as an urban regeneration strategy (Roberts & Sykes, 2008). In Sri Lanka, government have also provided operation and maintenance tasks of recently developed state owned public spaces such as Arcade Independence Square (Colombo 07), Dutch Hospital Complex (Colombo 01) and Boardwalk by Waters Edge at Diyatha Uyana (Battaramulla) as exchange provision.…”

Public spaces are considered one of the fundamental elements in the urban context to promote leisure and recreation for urban dwellers. Public spaces contain variations within each other from the physical appearance, activities, and to usage factors. Private sector involvement for public space provision was increased in the recent past where public space ownership and access controls were shifted from solely public to private. This was criticized as privatization of public space and lead to debates on the decline of publicness and privacy of space. In this context, this research studied the public space from the user perception by considering publicly owned and operated versus privately owned and operated public spaces within Colombo, Sri Lanka. It is also explored the balance between ownership and access controls to determine the user preference in terms of the publicness features. User defined public space features were identified using 35 semi-structured interviews and 119 online questionnaire surveys. Qualitative analytic tools were used to evaluate the results including Content analysis and Space-shaper models with the support of NVivo software. The results revealed that publicly owned spaces were preferred by the users due to easy access and freedom for activities while privately owned spaces were preferred due to better infrastructure, safety, and security within. Also, it is identified that urban public space offered users the freedom to experience based on the levels of ownership and access controls. Finally, people preferred ownership by public over private sector as anecdotal evidence and values dominated in the public space attributes. This study provides key insights for planners to consider in the public space planning and the importance of private sector involvement and balance in the provision of optimal urban spaces in cities.

“…This process called Urban Acupuncture. Urban Acupuncture takes the city as a living body, grasping the whole vein of the city in the process of urban regeneration and growth; it will activate its potential and promote the city's regeneration (Carter 2008). There is not a precise set of rules for the application of the theory of urban acupuncture, just principle ideas.…”

The Phlegraean Fields in Italy presents an abundance of underwater archaeological sites. The area was the favourite location for roman citizens that built a city in this territory. Today there are only parts of walls and columns, all statues and decoration were destroyed or lost due pillages of 80's. Now citizens try to restore the antique bond with the sea and with the archaeological heritage. This paper discusses the possible urban development of this abandoned cultural heritage, a landscape vision capable to connect various sites along shoreline. A large-scale project where economic and social resources focused on reuse of these underwater and coastal assets. New low-tech structures designed to protect roman ruins, not a utopian vision but a real solution for this territory that erased his ancient relationship with the sea. A project along the coastline of Phlegraean Fields that generate connections, restoring the ancient bond with the sea.

“…Eskimiş, sağlıksız yaşam şartlarına sahip ve günün sosyal ve ekonomik ihtiyaçlarına cevap veremeyen yaşam alanlarının ekonomik, sosyal, fiziksel ve çevresel faktörler dikkate alınarak yenilenmesi olarak tanımlanan kentsel dönüşüm İstanbul gibi büyük kentler için oldukça hayati bir öneme sahiptir (Roberts ve Sykes, 2000). Fakat kentsel dönüşüm projeleri, hukuki, ekonomik ve sosyolojik birçok sorun barındıran son derece büyük ölçekli ve karmaşık inşaat projeleridir.…”

Türkiye' de yıllar içerisinde sosyo-ekonomik sebepler ile nüfusun büyük şehirlerde yoğunlaşması, beraberinde düzensiz, kalitesiz ve dayanıksız yapı stokunun hızlı artışı ve zaman içerisinde ekonomik ömrünü tamamlayan yapıların deprem riski nedeniyle yenilenmesi gereği, kentsel dönüşüm ihtiyacını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Özellikle deprem kuşağında yer alan İstanbul ili, nüfus yoğunluğu ve ülke ekonomisi açısından taşıdığı büyük önem sebebiyle öncelikli olarak kentsel dönüşüme gereksinim duymaktadır. Ancak son derece büyük çaplı ve yüksek maliyetlere sahip olan kentsel dönüşüm projelerinin, tüm şehir için ve eş zamanlı olarak başlatılabilmesi teknik ve ekonomik açıdan mümkün olmamaktadır. Bu durumda, yetkili kamu kurumları dönüşüme ihtiyaç duyulan ilçe ve mahallelerin deprem riski sıralamasına uygun biçimde, en acil olan mahalleden başlayacak şekilde dönüşüm planlaması yapmaktadırlar. Bu öncelik sıralaması için kullanılacak verinin doğruluğu ve değerlendirme yönteminin etkinliği analiz sonuçlarının güvenilirliği açısından son derece önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, İstanbul ili sınırlarında yer alan ilçe ve mahallelerin deprem riski baz alınarak kentsel dönüşüm önceliklerinin belirlenmesi için çok kriterli karar alma yöntemleri olan AHP ve TOPSIS metotlarının bütünleşik bir yaklaşımı kullanılmıştır. Burada temel amaç, ilçe ve mahalle bazında deprem riski altındaki yerleşim birimlerinin kentsel dönüşüm önceliklerinin belirlenmesi sayesinde kamusal ve özel projelerin planlanmasına katkı sağlamaktır.
