Evaluating The Ownership Structure in Land Regeneration Applications
Ali Tunc & Tahsin Yomralioglu
In Turkey, new legal and technical regulations and means of zoning enforcement are needed in land management. Considering the dense housing, difficulties in implementing the land regulations, raising enforcement standards in dense housing areas of the city, and creating a healthy and livable urban space, the reorganization of urban living spaces indicates the presence of quiet and urgent problem that needs solution. After a decade of confident policy with the support of engineering lobbies in the retrofitting of individual buildings, it has been observed that reliance on market demands for retrofitting was a mistake. The policy seems to have been reversed very recently to the other extreme of top down imposition of regeneration of vulnerable urban stock in batches. The Law of Transformation of Areas under the Disaster Risks (Law No. 6306) entered into force on May 16, 2012 due to the need of a legal regulation in order to reconstruction of buildings that pose a zoning risk in particular before the realization of any disaster risk. The main reasons behind the new technical and legal debates created along with this law are the lack of clear definition of the property transformation processes, and paying no attention to the requirement that people should be backed by a law enacted to ensure their participation in the transformation process, which is closely related to them. Within the scope of this paper, the basic concepts related to Land Regeneration were discussed, the way of implementation of the regeneration and the development of the regulation in Turkey were addressed, the property issues that may arise in the technical implementation of the law were discussed and the requirements for a successful land regeneration were uncovered and specified.
