The
Zoning Amnesty Law, which came into force in 2018, is a regulatory instrument
designed to register the building stock in Turkey, prevent illegal
construction, and accelerate urban transformation processes. The enactment of
this legislation has facilitated the legal status of buildings in regions where
illegal construction is prevalent, addressing ownership issues and enabling
citizens to access public services with greater ease. Furthermore, the
registration of millions of residential and commercial properties has played a
pivotal role in the revitalisation of the building stock. Nevertheless, the
implementation of the Zoning Amnesty Law has given rise to a number of
challenges and critiques. The law has been the subject of controversy due to
concerns regarding the potential encouragement of illegal construction, the
environmental impact of such construction, the protection of natural habitats,
and the inadequacy of legal regulations. Furthermore, deficiencies in the
implementation process, such as a lack of control and disregard for zoning
plans, are also of concern. This study employs a combination of SWOT analysis
and TOWN matrix approaches to evaluate the impact of the Zoning Amnesty Law. A
SWOT analysis provides a detailed examination of the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats associated with the law in question. The strengths of
the law include the recording of the building stock and the provision of legal
security. However, the weaknesses include issues such as the lack of
implementation and the encouragement of illegal construction. The TOWN matrix
allows for the evaluation of the opportunities and threats of the law in the
context of urban transformation processes from a regional perspective.
Consequently, the effects of the Zoning Amnesty Law on urban transformation
processes in Turkey are examined comprehensively in terms of both the SWOT
analysis and the TOWN matrix.
