Abstract
THE SUSTAINABILITY OF PUBLIC HOUSING PRODUCTION IN TURKEY
It is difficult to say that the existing public housing applications put forward as a solution to the housing problem in Turkey has been developed with sustainable development and sustainable physical country and regional planning and urban development and architectural policies as the decision-making, programming, planning, design and implementation/construction process are directed towards a holistic goal. Considering the current situation in Turkey, a necessary document for environmentally sustainable housing and housing production reference and evaluation system is not available. The lack of an evaluation model to make reference to sustainability in Turkey, the absence of a national green building certification system that does not set the basic criteria and environmental performance evaluation is a serious shortcoming. This shortcoming is one of the important factors that hampers sustainable building and housing practices. In this context, the culture of production in public housing will be considered in the context of sustainability, sustainable urban development and sustainable architecture, which will evaluate international experiences and studies, and will discuss the possibilities for making both the mass housing production culture and the urban development sustainable.
