Abstract:The effects and contributions of different segments of society play important roles in the urban transformation of unplanned land, and these contributions turn land into a buildable property, increasing its market value. In Turkey, the urban transformation and redistribution of unplanned land remain problematic due to being regulated only through the land equivalency ratio. The inequity in the sharing of increased public value results in the legal pursuit of justice that can reach great extents, and injustices in the distribution of common value created by society. Rights arising from urban land ownership should be rid of unjust and inequitable confiscation of public values created by society. It is necessary to find ways to equitably distribute this value created by urban planning between the public and the property owner and to ensure the reflection of this increased value to the spatial aspect of quality of life. Therefore, this thesis proposes a new model for land and property management founded on equity and quality of life. Within the scope of the study, we firstly reviewed the literature in terms of redistribution of rights, equity, and urban quality of life, and associated these concepts with our model. We examined the practices and experiences of countries with exemplary urban transformation and researched the sharing of the value created by the contributions of the whole society between the property owner and the public. Afterwards, we determined the problems instigated by the current Turkish legislation concerning land and zoning regulation. As a product of the thesis, we proposed a land and property management model based on the concept of equity, which will ensure equitable sharing of increased value due to planning between the public and the property owner. The feasibility of the proposed land and property management model was tested in the field using a newly developed software. Our findings require a concept that includes both the right to development and still allowing the remaining of common (social) areas in planning. The established land and property management model has the potential to help navigate urban transformation, as well as to create solutions for problems associated with planned land and the urban transformation process.
