URBAN TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACT ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY FOR PLANNING DECISIONS DEPENDING ON TURKISH LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK

M. Doruk Özügül, Bora Yerliyurt

Abstract


Introduction. This article is positioned theoretically at the intersection of four keywords: urban planning, urban renewal, impact assessment, and technical infrastructure. Studies aiming to measure “impacts on technical infrastructure” are quite rare and tend to focus exclusively on national-level critical infrastructure, ignoring the local / urban scale. Filling this gap, this article specifically aims to propose an Urban Technical Infrastructure Impact Assessment (UTIIA) methodology to measure the impacts of changing planning decisions on drinking water, sewage, and rainwater systems, addressing a decision dichotomy (whether a planning decision constitutes a plan amendment or a plan revision) that is particularly common for urban renewal applications in the Turkish planning experience.

Keywords
