Examination of the urban transformation project implemented in Kırşehir/Kaman in the context of building and analysis with geographic information system (GIS)

In this thesis study, it is targeted to examine the urban transformation application carried out in Kaman district of Kırşehir province in terms of structure and to analyze it with Geographic Information System (GIS). In line with this goal, all data belonging to the urban transformation application area have been obtained. The evaluation was made on a yearly basis using the GIS method. Within the scope of Law No. 6306 "Transformation of Areas Under Disaster Risk", it is aimed to investigate the effects of this transformation on the district in the context of the social, cultural and economic characteristics of the city. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the geographical locations and attribute data of disaster risky structures together. In the study, the structures and their qualities within the urban transformation application area were examined in detail. The structures constructed after the urban transformation were examined and documented on site. As a result of the study, it was determined that many structures of different qualities such as educational buildings, places of worship, banks, and art centers within the urban transformation application area were demolished. It was observed that only housing and workplaces were built in place of these demolished structures. It has been understood that the removal of social and cultural facilities such as health, education and art centers and the construction of only housing and workplaces in their place has created a need for social and cultural facilities. Single-storey, two-storey or three-storey buildings within the urban transformation application area were demolished and replaced with block-shaped buildings consisting of ground floor + 6 floors. In satellite images taken with remote sensing method, it was observed that the building density in Kaman district and the urban transformation area increased over time. It is suggested that urban transformation practices continue in order to renew of the old face of the district.
