With the recognition of the importance of creative and cultural industries in the development of cities, studies on the location criteria of the creative class and indirectly related occupations have increased. However, both the creative industries and the creative class differ in terms of their motivations for location, so there is a need for studies based on the dynamics of different sectors and professions. Theaters show different characteristics within the cultural industries regarding their production process and relationship with space. Moreover, studies on cultural industries in Ankara, especially theaters, are limited. This study aims to identify the private theater venues in Ankara and assess their locational choice criteria based on their interaction with the social and physical characteristics of the urban space. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 25 of the 37 private theater venues identified in Ankara. As a result of the qualitative and quantitative analyses applied, site selection criteria were determined at city and neighborhood scales. The evaluation of the physical, economic, social, cultural, and institutional environment under the headings of hard locational factors, soft locational factors, market/audience, and governance/policy revealed that the most important factors for private theater spaces to choose a location in Ankara are soft locational factors such as personal relationships, sense of belonging, theater environment, while at the neighborhood scale, classical/hard locational factors such as transportation networks, physical characteristics of the building, and the level of tolerance which is considered as a soft locational factor.

Widespread use of digital technologies and computerized production stand as one of the most prior features of this new post Fordist era. In the new era, based on knowledge and creativity, development have been undertaken by the sectors that can m...
Planning As A Tool For Modernization In Turkey: The Case Of Hermann Jansen’s Plan For Mersin Beyhan, Burak; Uğuz, Selçuk (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2012-12-1) Early 20th century urban development plans and regulations as the culmination of the efforts made for the modernization of the cities constitute a special and substantive domain of focus for the historical analysis of cities in terms of understanding the nature and objectives of planning today. Yet, except for big cities such as Ankara, İstanbul, İzmir, Adana and Bursa, most of the cities in Turkey are not studied in depth within such a context. Unfortunately, those studies conducted for both big and small ...

This study aims t...
