Abstract

Izmir-Kizilay neighborhood is one of these areas with low building construction quality and illegal interventions that has attracted the attention of municipality officials and professionals for urban regeneration. In this study, quality of the residential environment of the Izmir-Kizilay neighborhood is evaluated from the residents' point of view. An occupant questionnaire survey is done to collect the data indwelling scale and neighborhood scale. Factors studied in building scale size are: (i) construction conditions and age of the building, (ii) architectural features, (iii) modifications done and the wish for repairs/renovation, (iv) physical condition and energy efficiency, (v) property condition.
