Studies on preparing the urban tissue against expected Istanbul earthquake has been going on in planned-unplanned housing settlements. Implementations so far have taken the form of renewal on one plot of land in general, and on an urban block in sometimes, causing intense inner city mobility issue. This paper aims to inquire into �place attachment� within the context of environmental quality, as in big cities, renewal processes seem to arise relocation problem of the residents. In this study, �place attachment� theme is examined over Ka��thane research data related to undergoing urban transformation. The focused parameters are environmental quality, security, satisfaction, social bonds, in-situ transformation trends etc. The findings indicate a high-level place attachment. Residents interviewed have a strong sense of territoriality over their quarters; and they cooperate with the local authorities in solving their problems. Therefore, the residents� knowledge should feed into urban renewal policies. If in-situ urban transformation model is to be adopted by the local authorities, the priority should be given to the preparing a plan, inventorying building quality in the area, demolishing those buildings under earthquake risk in planned phases, and constructing affordable housing for the residents to remain in the settlement. Within the major goal of urban transformation law, implementations should improve life quality in the quarters and create liveable environments and the residents should return to their houses. Therefore, �place attachment� must not be neglected as part of renewal processes.

�stanbul�da beklenen deprem riskine kar�� kentsel dokunun haz�rl�kl� hale getirilmesiyle ilgili �al��malar, planl� ve plans�z konut alanlar�nda kendine �zg� sorunlar�yla devam etmektedir. �o�unlukla tekil bina yenilemeleri �eklinde ilerleyen; baz� yerlerde yap� adas� �l�e�inde g�zlenen uygulamalar yo�un kent i�i hareketlili�e yol a�maktad�r. Bu hareketlili�in yaratt�� sorunlardan yola ��karak bu �al��mada, ya�anabilir konut alanlar� olu�turulabilmesi i�in �yere ba�l�l�k �kavram�n�n �evre kalitesi ba�lam�nda irdelenmesi hedeflenmektedir. B�y�k kentlerdeki yenileme s�re�lerinde mevcut kullan�c�lar�n yer de�i�tirmek zorunda b�rak�lmas� konusunun s�k�a ya�anan bir problem oldu�u g�zlenmektedir. Bu �al��mada �yer aidiyeti� konusu; K��thane il�esinde ba�lat�lan kentsel d�n��m s�re�leriyle ili�kili olarak ger�ekle�tirilen bir ara�t�rman�n verilerinden yararlanarak �evre kalitesi, g�venlik, memnuniyet, toplumsal ba�lar, yerinde d�n��m e�ilimi, vb. parametreler �zerinden ele al�nmakta ve tart��lmaktad�r. Yap�lan alan �al��mas�nda yere ba�l�l�k d�zeyinin y�ksek oldu�u g�r�lm��t�r. G�r��len mahalle sakinleri ya�ad�klar� alan� sahiplenmekte, sorunlar�na ��z�m aramak �zere yerel y�netim ile birlikte �al��malar yapmaktad�r. Yerle�me sakinlerinden al�nan bilgilerin, ya�anabilir �evreler olu�turmas� beklenen kentsel d�n��m politikalar�na �nemli bir girdi sa�lamas� gerekir. Yerinde D�n��m Modelinin uygulanmas� durumunda �ncelikle yerel y�netimlerce bir plan yap�lmas�, alanda mevcut yap�lar�n durumlar�n�n tespit edilmesi, deprem a��s�ndan riskli yap�lar�n planl� ve a�amal� bir bi�imde y�k�lmas�, eri�ilebilir yeni konutlar yap�larak mahalle sakinlerinin yerle�mede kalmalar�n�n sa�lanmas� konular� �nem kazanmaktad�r. Kentsel d�n��me y�nelik yasan�n temel amac�na uygun olarak ger�ekle�tirilen uygulamalarda ilk hedefin mahallelerde ya�am kalitesinin y�kseltilmesi ve ya�anabilir alanlar olu�turulmas� oldu�u s�ylenebilir. Ancak mahalle sakinlerinin yenilenme sonras�nda evlerine geri d�nememelerinin kentte ya�ama haklar� ile ilgili bir sorun te�kil etti�i a��k�a g�r�lmektedir. Bu soruna y�nelik olarak, d�n��m politikalar� i�inde mahalle sakinlerinin aidiyet duygusunun dikkate al�nmas�n�n gereklili�i �nem kazanmaktad�r.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Adiyet, kentsel d�n��m; konut; yere ba�l�l�k.
