Urban Regeneration projects are being conducted in the Municipality of Gaziosmanpaşa Municipality in order to renew the earthquake-prone buildings and ensure that citizens move to safe buildings as soon as possible. The projects aim to transform excessive and unhealthy residential areas with no economic life left and improve substandard urban reinforcement areas. Inadequate infrastructure for transportation has led to traffic congestion in the area. In the municipality, the slums, which were built without giving due consideration to the legislation and regulations, have caused urban sprawl and irregular settlement patterns. Thus, transportation infrastructure and slum areas need improvement in order to ensure more regular settlement patterns in the district. |

Currently, urban regeneration projects are under way in 13 regions of Gaziosmanpaşa covering a high-risk area of 4.5 million square meters. Total project area corresponds to 38.8% of the district area. 10.500 (36%) buildings and 33.000 (19%) independent units in the region live in approximately 108.000 (21%) of the population.
A technical study visit will be organized to this district, as it has the potential to provide beneficial findings in terms of urban regeneration. The participants will be briefed by the municipal authorities during the technical study visit.

Fatih Municipality one of those areas where three pilot studies concerning mass valuation for taxation purpose were carried out in 2013 and 2014 within the scope of the Land Registry and Cadastre Modernization Project which was conducted by the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre of Turkey with the support of the World Bank between 2008 and 2015.
Mass valuation pilot studies were implemented in Ankara for lands, residential and commercial properties and in Fatih for residential properties. Various data sources and statistical techniques were employed, and outcomes of the implementations were quite interesting and helpful for the future in this field.
This technical tour will provide an opportunity for the participants to see each phase of the whole mass valuation pilot study in Fatih from deciding the pilot areas and data sources to data collection and model building processes. Technical staff from Land Registry and Cadastre Agency and Fatih Municipality will give details of the pilot studies at first hand not only for Fatih pilot study and also for Ankara studies. Besides, to see the Urban Information System of Fatih Municipality and its capacity and capabilities will be an asset to understand the importance of data integration and collaboration between different institutions for common purposes.
Thanks to this technical tour participants will be able to have an insight of that kind of mass valuation implementation in such an interesting and complex region.

The Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI) is Turkey’s unique organization encompassing earthquakes observation, research, education and application services within a single, integrated body. Established 149 years ago in 1868 as The Imperial Meteorological Observatory, Kandilli Observatory extended its activities in the 21th century into various observational field such as astronomy, astrophysics, geophysics, geomagnetism and seismology. In 1982 the Kandilli Observatory was joined to Bogazici University. A new Earthquake Research Institute was founded to merge with the Observatory. The new body, named KOERI, was reorganized with its main emphasis oriented towards earthquake, research, education and relevant service actives.
Through the 1980’s KOERI has evolved into a multidisciplinary research organization providing graduate education to M Sc. and Ph.D. levels in three departments, namely Earthquake Engineering, Geophysics and Geodesy, with full-time and part-time faculty members.
The Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI), being the oldest institution on seismological studies, have observation networks having seismological and engineering purposes. Since 1926, The Kandilli Seismological Division, an integral arm of KOERI, continues to provide seismological observation services with its continuously expanding network distributed throughout Turkey. The first station was a mechanical Mainka seismograph installed at Kandilli in Istanbul abbreviated as ISK. The KOERI’s seismic stations started to be a network in the early 1970’s with the installation of conventional seismic stations in Western Turkey. Today, KOERI has total 228 modern seismic stations in the whole of Turkey. In addition, KOERI operates water-level stations and real-time GPS stations nationwide.
