Urban Change In Mersin:  Morphological Change In Camlibel

The change in the urban built environment usually reveals itself through alterations in morphological characteristics such as change in building height, building block forms, building arrangement, and plot dimensions. The morphological changes usually came into being in piecemeal fashion and they are the observable changes in the urban built environment. They are conceived to be significant since they might enhance or erode the distinctiveness of a place, and the character of the city.
In the study, the morphological changes in �aml�bel, a residential area since foundation of city of Mersin in the beginning years of nineteenth century however some CBD functions penetrated in the last two decades, are analyzed through a plot-based research. Since such morphological changes are common in Mersin, the results of the study enable to produce interpretations about management of urban change in Mersin.
The study aims to analyze the operation of planning control mechanisms through morphological changes in the urban built environment. Furthermore, it endeavors to examine the management of urban change in the Turkish planning system with reference to Mersin case and to investigate aims of local planning authorities during the implementation planning decisions and urban change.

Keywords: Urban morphology, planning control mechanisms, quantitative and qualitative control, management of urban change.

Kentsel mekan�n bi�imlendirilmesi sürecinde de�i�imler genellikle par�a par�a ger�ekle�mektedir ve tek parselde binalar�n (y�k�l�p) yap�lmas�, yap� adalar�n�n bi�imlerinin, yap� yüksekliklerinin ve yap�la�ma düzeninin de�i�imi ile kendini g�stermektedir. Bunlar do�rudan g�zlenebilir olan morfolojik de�i�imlerdir ve bir kentin kendine �zgü niteliklerinin ve karakterinin gü�lenmesini sa�layabilece�i gibi kentsel ba�lam�n bozulmas�na, morfolojik sürekliliklerin zedelenmesine neden olabilmektedir.
Bu yaz� kapsam�nda, Mersin kentinin kurulu�undan itibaren konut alan� �zelli�i g�steren, 1980�li y�llardan sonra birtak�m M�A (Merkezi �� Alan�) i�levlerinin de yer almaya ba�lad�� aml�bel b�lgesindeki morfolojik de�i�im tek parseldeki de�i�iklikler üzerinden yap�lacakt�r. Bu tür geli�melerin �aml�bel�de ve Mersin genelinde yayg�n bir �ekilde ger�ekle�tirildi�i g�z �nünde bulunduruldu�unda, de�erlendirme Mersin�de kentsel mek�n�n bi�imlendirilmesi hakk�nda genel sonu�lar üretilmesini mümkün k�lmaktad�r.
Ara�t�rmada, Mersin �zelinden yola ��karak, planlama denetim mekanizmalar�n�n i�leyi�i kapsam�nda Türkiye�deki kent planlama prati�i i�inde kentsel mek�n�n nas�l bi�imlendirildi�i ve kentsel mek�nda de�i�imin nas�l y�netildi�inin incelenmesi ama�lanmaktad�r. Bununla birlikte, yerel y�netimlerin süre�teki etkinli�i sorgulanacakt�r.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Kentsel morfoloji, planlama denetim mekanizmalar�, niceliksel ve niteliksel denetim, kentsel de�i�imin y�netimi.
