In this article, the “Process Management and Process Design” that emerged within the scope of the “Ordu Urban Design Guide Preliminary Study”project carried out in May-August 2018 is evaluated. This project is in cooperation with MCMill Architecture and Ordu Metropolitan Municipality,ITU Nova Technology Transfer Office and Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Faculty of Architecture, City and Regional Planning Department. It isaimed to involve different stakeholders in the city such as public, university, non-governmental and private sector in the process and to experience“co-production” with this study. In the study, the separation of the design projects from the characteristics of the local is considered as a problem.It has been demonstrated that different dynamics are needed for local design; Community needs and local culture were considered at the topof these dynamics. Within the scope of the study, “community-based design” approach has been adopted. In this study, it is aimed to present alocal-specific urban design guide process in which the society is included using innovative participation methods. It is aimed that the PreliminaryStudy of the Urban Design Guide developed for the city of Ordu will constitute a base for an urban design guide that may be produced in the fu ture. Workshops, participation meetings, guided walks held within the scope of field work in Ordu were among the methods of this study. Carriedout in two different scales, namely in Ordu and Altınordu, the study data was investigated and examples of how this data can provide input forfuture urban design processes and Process Design and Management of the designs are provided. With this work, the processes and tools from datacollection to design, from production to post-product programs were defined. Emphasis was placed on equal and joint participation at all stages.Ordu has been carried to tangible examples with design and process suggestions developed on the basis of local identity and culture, social needsand expectations, and the values of urban memory. The community-based design approach proposed in this context aims to bring a sustainableperspective that emphasizes the urban identity and is focused on social participation and open to development. This approach can be appliedeven in cities with different scales, populations, geographical conditions and cultures, and can be used by local governments, relevant institutionsand persons. In this process, it is important that the actors in the city (Eastern Black Sea Development Agency, Ordu University, Ordu Chamber ofCommerce, Ordu Chamber of Architects etc.) work together in all projects to be developed based on the identity of Ordu. It is important to ensurecoordination and communication with local people in the stages of this multi-actor process and to have a structure that addresses the demandsof the local by ensuring participation in the processes. It is thought that the participation of stakeholders in the process can be ensured throughdeveloping tools used for this purpose such as social media portals, websites, and mobile applications. In the Preliminary Study of Ordu UrbanDesign Guide, which was emphasized in the “community-based design” approach; It was ensured that the design process was implemented in thedata collection and analysis phase. Based on the findings obtained with social participation methods to discover the local dynamics and needsof the society, the steps of the design process based on the identity of Ordu have been defined. As the first example of this process, urban furnitureand floor design process was developed within the scope of the study. The importance of this work is to produce an urban design element for thelocal culture and values of the city. It is also a study that will allow the development of local-specific designs and is exemplified by process designand management recommendations developed specifically for the city of Ordu. The community-based design approach adopted in the studyemphasizes that the process is carried out in interaction with social dynamics by taking into account the expectations and needs of the society andprogram proposals are developed in this direction. In addition, it is important to establish the scope and definitions of local design, production andpost-product programs, and re-evaluate them in line with the changing social needs and expectations
