  • Abstract:
    In this study, has been aimed that bringing a solution to the Turkey’s dwelling problem, in respect of both qualitative and quantitative aspects with the mediation of adaptability concept in multi-storey dwelling production by prefabricated building elements.The study which purposes a model for using to solve problem , consist of five main chapter.Contents’, proposals’ and methods of study are possessed in it’s first chapter. In the content of study, first of all for the subject , which is going to inquire suppose that it is not only valid for mass-housing projects which are going to apply on new residential areas but also applicable for present residential areas too. It has been decided that inquiring the subject not in the content of mass-housing although, in multi-storey dwelling content while it is generalising,In the second part of the thesis, first of all, evaluation of different opinions has been done by the aim of bring clarifications about such concepts like flexibility, variability, adaptability. Flexibility, variability and adaptability purposed studies have been classified as they analyse. According to these, it has been decided that inquiring of user structure and their requirements with dwelling interaction and flexibility, variability and adaptability purposed approaches. Concept of adaptability has been defined and it’s principles have been determined by the inquiring of these flexibility, variability and adaptability purposed approaches.Again, projects which applied in Turkey, especially in Izmir, and presents alternatives to the varied household sizes, have been chosen in this section. Analysing of these example, have seen necessary, in respect of such conceptslike flexibility and variability at the levels of both building and dwelling units. This necessity is serving to determinate the quantitative presence of housing problem, at the same time. In the third chapter ofthesis, emphasised on dwelling construction systems. Necessity of making an analyse through choosing the material, structural system and construction system which are also going to be the best supplement for the decisions of flexibility, variability, adaptability on programming phase, has been appeared in this section.In dwelling model, which is going to propose for this aim, for carry out a qualitative solution to dwelling problem also necessity of inquiry of industrialized construction systems has been appeared too, because of their providing the fast production among construction system.By this purpose, some firms, which are still have production or had production in Turkey, have been chosen because of determined affects or their dwelling construction systems to the dwelling space have been decided to inquire.Second limitation as addition to this, has been done at the case that keeping partly industrialized systems out of inquiry, because of their not providing any possibility to variability at using phase instead of their providing design flexibility at the beginning. By these limitations,it has been decided that analysing of whole industrialized construction system. It has been appeared that the necessity of determining as analyse criteria of technical approaches which require for adaptability concept, possessed on second chapter. Fully industrialized systems have been inquired comparatively under these criteria.Fourth chapter ofthesis, the chapter where the model propose has been done through realization of adaptable designed dwelling. Precedence has been given to the inquiring of decisions which are affective on the realization ofthis proposal.These data decisions are environmental conditions and programming decisions. Environmental conditions are; mass-housing policies and other related politics, management, building land, layout/infrastructure, users’ participation and spreading of adaptability knowledge, law and rules, material sources and technological opportunities with income and economic sources. Even if programming decisions are; function and decisions which related with spatial area and necessity of spatia area and decisions which related through building elements choosing and through the modular coordination. Model proposed in this chapter has been evaluated in three levels as; wholeness of building, among dwelling units and in the dwelling units. At the end this section, node of joint solutions and the adaptable design housing model’s applicability has been presented. Results of these evaluations have been taken place at fifth chapter in thesis which is also been result chapter of it.
