Formation of Zoning Plans with Chaos Theory Approach: Example of Elazığ City Master Plan at 1/5000 Scale

Zoning plans refer to the whole of the vital areas that can meet people’s all kinds of housing needs. Zoning plans are gradually created in different ways, from upper to lower scales. As one of the lower scale plans, the master zoning plans are a piece of land whose borders are determined for the relevant region by the ministry in Türkiye. These plans are made on a city basis as an administrative border. It gains significance in the approximate determination of parameters such as density, precedent, or height in the formation of zoning islands such as residential, commercial, and social reinforcements, and the people who will live on the piece of land related to the plan. This significance is associated with the chaos theory and the correlation of each zoning parameter that seems to be irregular with each other, and planning is made on a 30-40 year basis. Chaos theory is the calculation of planning the abstract event on the land with a deterministic approach for a long time in a way that will respond to all kinds of needs. Zoning plans should respond to the highest need in terms of construction and design. This production, it should be designed like an artistic structure. For this reason, all parameters that seem chaotic should be made with the best possibilities in mind, like a jigsaw puzzle. In our study, the plan parameters of the city of Elazığ, which is one of the 81 administrative cities in Türkiye, were examined with a chaotic approach to the master zoning plan in the determination of the border, which was before the implementation of zoning plan from the 1980s to 2016.
