In Turkey where segregation reveals itself in many forms, such as regional inequalities, socio-economic differences, and ethnic and cultural divisions, understanding the nature of segregation is, no doubt, an important and worthy effort by itself. Nevertheless, there are very few studies dealing directly with the question of segregation in Turkey and even these studies have not yet addressed the question of segregation in the cities other than the greater metropolises such as İstanbul, Ankara and İzmir. The thesis shows, for instance, that much we know about the Turkish urbanisation, industrialisation and the effective social, economic and cultural dynamics in these processes are in the context of the major cities and there is almost nowhere an understanding that different urban processes, a different set of coalition among the agents in different urban settings might lead to a different story of urban development in Turkey. However, the unique industrialisation experience of the so-called Anatolian Tigers in the late 1980s seems to be a strong evidence to think about the existence of indigenous urban processes which may not fit the patterns offered for the practices of the major cities. The main argument of the thesis is structured around the claim that the peculiarities of urban processes at work in Turkey can be read and understood through socio-economic residential segregation in different cities. In doing so, the thesis deems it crucial to shed light on the rare-known part of the country, a larger Anatolian geography, and examine residential segregation in 15 cities with different urban dynamics namely Adana, Ankara, Antalya, Bursa, Denizli, Diyarbakır, Erzurum, Eskisehir, Gaziantep, İstanbul, İzmir, Kayseri, Konya, Mersin and Samsun. Moreover, the period examined in the thesis is the year of 2000, the beginning of what is defined as the "great transformation" in the country and this provides an opportunity to get the final snap-shot of Turkish cities before the transformation.

Türkiye'de Türk Kürt Kültürlerarası Evlilik Eğilimleri 1993-2008
Hoşgör, Hatice Ayşe (2015-11-06)
Sosyolojik açıdan, farklı etnik grupların birbirlerine olan sosyal sınırlarını kültürlerarası evlilik göstergeleri yansıtmaktadır. Bu eksende daha önce gerçekleştirdiğimiz araştırmamızda (Gündüz Hoşgör & Smits, 2002), Türkiye’deki Kürtler ve Türkler arasındaki kültürlerarası evliliklerdeki eğilimleri 1993 ve 1998 Türkiye Nüfus Sağlık Araştırma verilerini analiz ederek incelemiştik. Analiz Türkler ve Kürtlerin kendi etnik grupları içerisinde evlendiğini, ancak bu eğilimin giderek azaldığını, Türkler ve Kürtl...
Explaining Ethnic Disparities in School Enrollment in Turkey
Kırdar, Murat Güray (University of Chicago Press, 2009-01-01)
There exist remarkable differences in educational outcomes across ethnic groups in Turkey. Moreover, almost a quarter of the population of 8‐ to 15‐year‐old children belongs to ethnic minority groups. Yet, there exists no study that examines the ethnic disparities in educational outcomes in Turkey. This study presents these disparities and uncovers the factors that bring about these disparities, using a rich microlevel data set (Turkish Demographic and Health Survey). In doing so, this article examines the ...
Governing Urban Diversity: Creating Social Cohesion, Social Mobility and Economic Performance in Today's Hyper-diversified Cities (DIVERCITIES)
Eraydın, Ayda(2017-1-28)
The central hypothesis of this project is that socio-economic, socio-demographic, ethnic and cultural diversity can positively affect social cohesion, economic performance and social mobility of individuals and groups. A better social cohesion, higher economic performance and increased chances for social mobility will make European cities more liveable and more competitive. In this period of long-term economic downturn (or sometimes even crisis) and increasing competition from countries elsewhere in the wor...
Socio-spatial disparities: the production of marginality within urban space of Tehran (1963-1979)
Valizadeh, Paria; Sargın, Güven Arif; Department of Architecture (2018)
Cities operate simultaneously as a presupposition and an outcome of each mode of production in each period of history and hence city is the very first ground where major socio-economic and political relations find geographical materialization. City and its urban forms, then, are closely tied up with dominant strategies of production, reproduction and transformation of space. In this regard, modernization strategies of ruling powers are of significant importance that lay foundation for further urban developm...
A Study on governance arrangements focusing on urban diversity: the case of Beyoglu – İstanbul
Yersen, Özge; Eraydın, Ayda; Department of City and Regional Planning (2015)
Socio-economic, cultural, ethnic and socio-demographic diversity in contemporary cities has been one of the most featured topics in urban policy and planning, since the impacts of globalization, growing internal and international migration dynamics, and neoliberal policies have changed the traditional definition of diversity based on ethnicity, and introduced new forms of diversity with respect to new identities, lifestyles, values and activities. Within the neoliberal period characterized by state rescalin...
