About

UFACAP Research Group was established in October 1, 2020. The group includes researchers from the fields of city and regional planning, environmental engineering and health sciences. Currently, in partnership with Middle East Technical University, Eskisehir Technical University and Dr. Sami Ulus Education and Research Hospital, the group works in a TUBITAK funded research project entitled "The Link Between Urban Form, Air Quality and Childhood Asthma." In the context of this project, the group is engaged in urban form analysis, air quality monitoring at the neighborhood level and field activities to learn more about children's asthma and geographies. We work with more than 1500 children in 19 schools, which were chosen from 8 neighborhoods in Ankara, Turkey.
