Investigating the evolution of human settlements—from the Neolithic pillars of Göbeklitepe to the complex zoning of modern Ankara.
My research is driven by a central question: How do physical spaces shape social realities across time?
I approach urban planning not just as a design discipline, but as a data-driven science. By utilizing GIS technologies (QGIS & ArcGIS) and digital modeling, I deconstruct complex environments into analyzable layers—topography, density, and movement networks.
My methodology spans two distinct yet connected eras:
For me, a map is not just a drawing; it is a tool to visualize the invisible forces that build our cities.
My research utilizes GIS and spatial analysis to deconstruct urban layers. I focus on bridging the gap between historical reconstruction (Pre-Pottery Neolithic) and modern urban dynamics (CBD shifts & segregation).
Analyzing the transition to sedentary life, focusing on the ritualistic landscapes of Göbeklitepe and Karahantepe.
Studying the transformation of Ankara's urban fabric, specifically the shift of the CBD and residential segregation.
Utilizing Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and GIS to simulate prehistoric movement patterns and resource accessibility.
Systematic exploration of emerging digital structures and their impact on socioeconomic behavior within algorithmic environments.
Selected research papers, posters, and spatial analyses using QGIS and ArcGIS.
