    A BIM-GIS integrated pre-retrofit model for building data mapping
    (Springer Nature, 2016-10) Göçer, Özgür; Hua, Y.; Göçer, Kenan; Architecture; GÖÇER, Özgür; GÖÇER, Kenan
    In response to rising energy costs and the impetus to reduce environmental impacts, upgrading the large building stock that is responsible for 40% of the total energy consumption to maximum energy efficiency is becoming an important task. Despite the many benefits associated with retrofit projects, they are still only slowly being implemented because of the many challenges that exist. One of these challenges is optimizing the decision between renovation scenarios based on economic and environmental goals, which can be made possible with an accurate pre-retrofit model. The intention of this paper is to introduce a pre-retrofit model that efficiently obtains and integrates multiple forms of building data as a critical step to develop a comprehensive understanding of a building to be renovated. Opportunities for utilizing building information modeling (BIM) and geographical information systems (GIS) for retrofitting projects were explored through the study of a historical campus building. With the use of as-is geometric data and as-is data, building data maps were obtained. The next step of this study is to use the model to conduct scenarios comparison and optimize renovation decision based on economic and environmental goals.

    Exploring mobility & workplace choice in a flexible office through post-occupancy evaluation
    (Taylor & Francis, 2018) Göçer, Özgür; Göçer, Kenan; Karahan, Ebru Ergöz; İlhan, Işıl Oygür; Architecture; Industrial Design; GÖÇER, Özgür; KARAHAN, Ebru; OYGÜR İLHAN, Işil; GÖÇER, Kenan
    Developments in information and communication systems, organisational structure and the nature of work have contributed to the restructuring of work environments. In these new types of work environments, employees do not have assigned workplaces. This arrangement helps organisations to minimise rent costs and increase employee interaction and knowledge exchange through mobility. This post-occupancy evaluation (POE) study focuses on a flexible office in a Gold Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-certified building in Istanbul. An integrated qualitative and quantitative POE technique with occupancy tracking via barcode scanning and instant surveying has been introduced. Using this unique approach, we examined the directives/drivers in workplace choice and mobility from different perspectives. The aggregated data was used to discern work-related consequences such as flexibility, workplace choice, work and indoor environment satisfaction, place attachment and identity. The results show that employees who have a conventional working culture develop a new working style: ‘fixed-flexible working’.

    A quantitative investigation of the factors affecting patterns of occupation in a suburban campus: The case of Ozyegin University In Istanbul
    (ArchNet, 2018) Özbil Torun, A.; Göçer, Özgür; Bakovic, M.; Göçer, Kenan; Architecture; GÖÇER, Özgür; GÖÇER, Kenan
    This study investigates the patterns of occupation of outdoor spaces on a suburban university campus and seeks to understand the factors that affect them. The comprehensive methodology applied in this research attempted to overcome some of the shortcomings of related studies by conducting a longitudinal study (behavioral mapping during a year, as opposed to a few days) and by objectively analyzing the associations of user behavior and physical attributes, and the configurational properties of the campus layout. The results show that campus users fail to capitalize on the potential offered by the spatial configuration of outdoor spaces because they are not supported by amenities for pedestrians such as seating, shading elements and catering facilities. Supporting campus outdoor spaces that have the configurational potential of bringing various types of users (students and staff) with amenities for pedestrians and service facilities would create a lively and sustainable campus for its users.

    Türkiye'de tarım üretimindeki değişim dinamiklerinin buğday üretimindeki mekânsal yansımaları
    (Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi, 2015) Göçer, Kenan; Architecture; GÖÇER, Kenan
    Türkiye'de tarım sektöründe üretim, dış ticaret ve istihdam açısından önemli boyutta değişim gözlenmektedir. Önemli bir tahıl üreticisi olan Türkiye'de özellikle tahıl üretiminde dışa bağımlılık artarak dünya ortalamasına yaklaşmaktadır. Bu durum gıda güvenliği için hayati olan buğday üretimine de olumsuz yansımaktadır. Bu çalışmada ilçelere göre buğday üretiminin coğrafi dağılımını üretim alanı, üretim miktarı ve verimliliği dikkate alarak nasıl bir mekânsal dinamiğe sahip olduğunu mekânsal ekonometri teknikleri kullanarak göstermek amaçlanmıştır. Yakın gelecek için buğday üretiminde sürdürülebilirlik açısından avantajlı ve dezavantajlı ilçeler tespit edilmiştir. Buğday üretim alanı, üretimi ve verimliliği açısından artış gösteren ilçeler sürdürülebilirlik açısından avantajlı durumu göstermektedir. Sürdürülebilirlik şartlarını en iyi sağlayan ilçeler Trakya, Güneydoğu Anadolu'nun batısı ve Ege bölgesinde görülmektedir. Tahıl ambarı İç Anadolu Bölgesi ise sürdürülebilirlik açısından yeterince güçlü çıkmamıştır. Buğday üretiminde mekansal etkileşim İç Anadolu'da zayıf çıkmıştır.
