This thesis investigates the concept of place attachment, focusing on its dynamic nature and its impact on personal and social identity. Place attachment, the sense of belonging to a specific place, is deeply rooted in individuals lives, shaping their lifestyles, political views, and ideals. However, it is not a static concept; it evolves with changing political, social, cultural, and economic conditions. This research aims to explore the formation, development, and transformation of place attachment, particularly when individuals cannot reproduce their identities due to these changing conditions. Utilizing Bourdieu‟s theories of field, tripartite capital, and habitus, alongside Savages concept of selective attachment, this study examines how people adapt to new environments and maintain their place attachment. Bourdieu‟s framework highlights the importance of accumulating economic, cultural, and social capital to gain prestige and respectability, which are essential for forming and sustaining place attachment. The process of moving to a new neighborhood, adapting to its unique rules, and integrating into its social fabric involves significant effort and changes in behavior, speech, social circles, and more. The study focuses on the Bahçelievler Neighborhood, a place caught between the past and present, unable to reproduce its identity. Through in-depth interviews with 12 long-term residents over the age of 50, the research aims to capture the historical, urban, and sociological changes in the neighborhood and their impact on place attachment. The findings suggest that when place attachment cannot be reproduced, it transforms into a defense mechanism, helping individuals protect their identities amidst changing conditions. The main hypothesis is that place attachment, as an output of social identity construction, becomes a defense mechanism when it cannot be reproduced due to changing conditions.
