This thesis contains explanations about the reasons why residents prefer
apartment housing to low rise housing far away from the central business
district. And it also investigates the facts that affect residents&rsquo / and producers&rsquo / apartment housing choice. As a dominant housing provision type, apartment
housing is produced every location in urban space in Ankara. Therefore the
study begins with investigating the formation and growth of apartment housing in
Ankara by introducing spatial variation of apartment housing. With the help of
building and population censuses, distribution of 400 quarters in the Greater
Ankara Municipality borders with respect to building and population density,
building features, share of apartment housing and average number of storeys
are analyzed. FAR values are calculated and analyzed from the CBD to western
direction to introduce the change in building densities. Lastly a questionnaire
survey is done to find out whether differentiation of building and environment
attributes of apartment housing that are produced in different location of urban
area are well-matched with their residents&rsquo / preferences.
At the end of the analysis differentiation of housing structure of the city clearly
comes out. While it is expected that the height of housing structure is decreasing by going far away from the CBD, it is found increasing along certain directions
such as western and south-western. However by moving at western direction
FAR decreases from 2 to 0,75 which states different characteristics of housing
structure even if high average number of storey. As a result apartment housing
provisions at different locations offer different lifestyles with their building and
environmental characteristics.
