Abstract

The research profile of Fatma Zehra Çakıcı reflects an interdisciplinary orientation toward the study of built environments and material systems. Her recent scholarly record includes research on visual complexity in historic street façades using fractal analysis, user perception, AHP and TOPSIS, as well as studies of urban memory, traditional Erzurum architecture and geopolymer composites. These works indicate engagement with both qualitative interpretation and structured analytical methods.

Keywords

Architectural research; urban identity; visual complexity; historic façades; Erzurum architecture; fractal analysis; AHP; TOPSIS; geopolymer composites; Arts and Humanities.

Introduction

Fatma Zehra Çakıcı’s recent publications demonstrate research activity at the intersection of architecture, urban studies and interdisciplinary analytical practice. The publication record includes journal articles and a scholarly book released during 2026. The combination of spatial, perceptual and computational approaches provides a basis for evaluating complex architectural and urban phenomena.

Research Profile

The documented research profile centers on architectural and urban environments, particularly historic façades, urban memory, traditional housing and spatial identity. The use of AHP and TOPSIS alongside fractal analysis illustrates an effort to integrate measurable indicators with human perception in environmental assessment. [1]

Research Contributions

• Applied multi-method analysis to visual complexity in historic street façades.
• Investigated relationships among memory, space and urban identity in Erzurum.
• Contributed to documentation of traditional Erzurum residential façade typologies.
• Participated in interdisciplinary research involving advanced geopolymer composite materials.

Publications

1. A Multi-Method Framework for Assessing Visual Complexity in Historic Street Façades Through Fractal Analysis, User Perception, AHP, and TOPSIS.[2]
2. Transport-controlled multi-scale design of nano-clay and carbon fiber reinforced fly ash-based geopolymer composites: Enhanced mechanical and durability performance.[3]
3. Kentsel İzler: Mekânın Üretimi, Korunması ve Dönüşümü.[4]
4. Memory-Space Relationship in Urban Identity: The Case of Erzurum City Center and Yakutiye Madrasa.[5]
5. Geleneksel Erzurum evlerinde cephe tipolojisi.[6]

Research Impact

The available bibliographic profile records 167 citations across seven documents, with an h-index of 4. These indicators provide measurable evidence of scholarly visibility, while the diversity of recent outputs demonstrates activity across architectural research, urban studies and interdisciplinary materials research. Citation indicators should be interpreted in relation to publication age, field norms and database coverage.

Award Suitability

The documented research output provides a substantive basis for consideration for an Innovative Research Award. Relevant evidence includes recent peer-reviewed publications, interdisciplinary methodology, research addressing architectural heritage and urban identity, and measurable citation activity. Final recognition should remain subject to the award’s stated evaluation criteria and independent assessment of supporting evidence.

Conclusion

Fatma Zehra Çakıcı’s documented scholarly record presents an interdisciplinary research profile within Arts and Humanities, with particular relevance to architecture, urban environments and heritage-related inquiry. Her recent publications combine analytical techniques with studies of place, memory, perception and material systems, establishing a coherent foundation for academic recognition.
