This master thesis will be focusing on prefabricated temporary houses and settlements in
Kocaeli &ndash / as a place-making process &ndash / throughout post disaster reconstruction period of
1999 Marmara Earthquakes. Main stimulant for this research is the lack of
acknowledgement of transforming urban and social environments under the overwhelming
forces of disasters both in academic and professional domains in the country.
Appropriation and self-identification of temporary accommodation is a way of adaptation
and a reaction to disruption caused by forced relocation due to disasters. Personalization
process transforms the houses into homes, spaces into places. This transformation is to be
analyzed within the framework of altering urban areas, disasters and adaptation processes
of householders for the resumption of home. Case study will be based on temporary
housing settlements &ndash / prefabricated houses &ndash / in city of Kocaeli.
The aim of this work is to understand the effective forces operating during post disaster
temporary housing periods, to improve reconstruction and planning processes with the
information generated out of the research and to provide data for the policy-making
authorities and academic field.
