Acquires information about methods followed in surveys so as to determine the spatial identity perception of the users. Has an application skills about how to reflect the results of user research for spatial identity perception to landscape designs. Has an information about the formations revealed by spatial relations with the knowledge and experience of urban identity in the historical periods. Mode of Delivery : Face-to-Face Prerequisites and Co-Prerequisites : None Recommended Optional Programme Components : None Aim(s) of Course : tries to discuss different dimensions and interactions between the phenomenon of urban culture and urban identity and the basics, and spatial identity ; give essential conceptual, hypothecial and applicable knowledge and skills to apply found syptoms to lanscape designs in the goal and scope context . Course Contents : Introduction and fundamental concepts, Ecological, social and economic characteristics of spatial identity formation in different periods, Image of the city and the fundamental elements which specify it such as roads, borders, regions, focuses and landmarks, The identity of urban space in the context of the relationship between buildings-open spaces and green spaces and relations-patterns, Continuity between structures and exterior spaces, hierarchy, and scale changes, Urban Texture; Urban Landscape, Building mass, Urban space, The walls of the city, The concept of the public space and authentic environment, Urban and environmental design concepts and theories of perceptual, visual and contextual concepts, Concepts regarding shape and space and approaches, new design methodologies, Urban sustainability and auditability of qualifications, Examine examples of the most versatile and queries, general evaluation and discussion. Language of Instruction : Turkish Work Place : Design Studio   Course Outline /Schedule (Weekly) Planned Learning Activities Week Subject Student's Preliminary Work Learning Activities and Teaching Methods 1 Introduction and fundamental concepts Sample project and reports carried out on the identity of urban space, questionnaires to determine the users´ perception of spatial identity, three-dimensional vizualization softwares for the spatial properties in user survey. The course will be conducted mutually with students by examining, scrutinizing and discussing the sample reports carried out on the identity of urban space ; doing a project related to the perception of spatial identity in a designated area as an independent or a group, preparing a report about this topic ,and performing a mutual discussion in this context. 2 different periods, ecology, spatial identity formation in social and economic characteristics 3 Image of the city and the fundamental elements , roads, borders, regions 4 Image of the city and the fundamental elements,focuses and landmarks 5 the relationship between buildings-open spaces and green spaces and relations-patterns in the context of the identity of urban space 6 Continuity between structures and exterior spaces, hierarchy, and scale changes 7 Mid-term Exam 8 Urban Texture; Urban Landscape, Building mass, Urban space, The walls of the city 9 The concept of the public space and authentic environment 10 Urban and environmental design concepts and theories of perceptual, visual and contextual concepts 11 Concepts and approaches regarding shape and space 12 Concepts and approaches regarding shape and space ,new design methodologies 13 sustainability and auditability of urban qualifications 14 Examinations andand queries with versatile examples ; general evaluation and discussion 15 Final exam   Required Course Resources Resource Type Resource Name Recommended Course Material(s)                   Required Course Material(s)       Assessment Methods and Assessment Criteria Semester/Year Assessments Number Contribution Percentage     Mid-term Exams (Written, Oral, etc.) 1 20     Homeworks/Projects/Others 2 80 Total 100 Rate of Semester/Year Assessments to Success 40   Final Assessments 100 Rate of Final Assessments to Success 60 Total 100   Contribution of the Course to Key Learning Outcomes # Key Learning Outcome Contribution* 1 Develops and increases the level of expertise in the same or different fields, using undergraduate knowledge and competency 5 2 Understands the interdisciplinary interaction related to profession. 0 3 Has advanced knowledge and understanding based on the basis of competencies gained at the undergraduate level to conduct research in the field of landscape design and landscape planning 5 4 Has critical awareness in the field of landscape planning and landscape design in terms of the nature and resources of knowledge as well as producing and testing knowledge 0 5 Has the ability to use the theoretical and practical knowledge gained in the field. 5 6 Creates new knowledge skillfully by integrating the knowledge gained in the field of landscaping with information from different disciplines; tackles with the problems which require expertise by using scientific reseach methods 0 7 Has cognitive and practical skills which is required to gain competency in professional practice 5 8 Applies the acquired knowledge, understanding and problem-solving skills in new but unusual environments as well as in broader, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary contexts. 0 9 Tackles with problem, develops a solution method, evaluates the results and applies when necessary. 5 10 Takes responsibility to develop new strategical approaches and to create solutions in complex and unpredictable circumstances 0 11 Evaluates information related to the field critically, directs learning and conducts advanced studies independently 4 12 Presentswritten or orally his own studies or current developments in the field to people in or out of the field using visuals 5 13 Examines social relations and the norms that direct these relations critically and develops the situation when necessary 0 14 Has a good command of a foreign language, at least at B2 level of European Language Portfolio, to communicate orally or written 0 15 Uses advanced information and communication technologies with the required level by computer softwares. 5 16 Develops strategies, policies and implementation plans related to landscape planning and landscape design and evaluates the obtained results within the framework of quality processes 0 17 Collects data about landscape planning and landscape design and makes interpretation, teaches or announces the acquired knowledge in line with social, scientific and ethical values 5 18 Uses the knowledge of landscape planning and landscape design practice and problem solving skills in interdisciplinary studies 0 * Contribution levels are between 0 (not) and 5 (maximum).   Student Workload - ECTS Works Number Time (Hour) Total Workload (Hour) Course Related Works     Class Time (Exam weeks are excluded) 14 3 42     Out of Class Study (Preliminary Work, Practice) 13 4 52 Assesment Related Works     Homeworks, Projects, Others 2 30 60     Mid-term Exams (Written, Oral, etc.) 1 2 2     Final Exam 1 2 2 Total Workload: 158 Total Workload / 25 (h): 6.32 ECTS Credit: 6
