The aim of this thesis is to understand if there is spatial segregation between Dikmen 5th stage gecekondu neighborhood and Park Oran gated community. If so, it will be examined how spatial segregation is observed following the use/ experience and perception of space of the inhabitants. This thesis will also trace if there are differences according to gender, ethnicity and socio-economic status in the use/ experience of two groups. Dikmen 5th stage gecekondu neighborhood and Park Oran gated community residents’ perception and use of space will be analyzed in the light of theory of space of Lefebvre, specifically around his spatial triad and his conceptualization of abstract space. The results of this thesis denote the existence of spatial segregation, which reveals itself in the experience and perception of space of the residents, between the two mentioned neighborhoods.

An inquiry into children’s sense of place in city neighborhoods: the case of Ankara Erol, Ecem; Bilsel, Fatma Cânâ; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2021-2-12) The rapid urbanization process causes spatial and social segregation in many cities of the world in the last decades. The contemporary city does not provide inclusive urban environments to children; they are increasingly exluded from public open spaces. Spatially and mentally segregated urban environments neither provide learning opportunities nor help improve the social abilities of children. The sense of place is a dynamic and complicated phenomenon that changes over time. The area that children feel to b...
Privacy and segregation as a basis for analyzing and modelling the urban space compositionof the libyan traditional city : Case study: The city of Ghadames El-Agouri, Faraj Abubaker; Günay, Baykan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2004) The study examines the spatial and visual privacy in different areas within the walled city of Ghadames, where different ethnic communities live in distinct localities. Conceptual and theoretical notions of privacy are tested, whose ultimate value is further refinement of privacy regulation conceptually and operationally. Complexities of privacy as a concept and its regulation are clarified through theory and extracted spatio-cultural information about physical settings created by these communities. The spa...
The residential neighborhood as a spatial habitus: the lived space of Yenimahalle, Ankara Okkalı, Merv; Bilsel, F. Cânâ,; Department of Architecture (2019) The neighborhood is a fundamental socio-spatial phenomenon in the urban environment. The neighborhood culture manifests itself in the urban space through the spatial patterns of everyday life. Hence, the lived space of the neighborhood can be defined as a narrative of different life forms of different social groups. The lived space includes the diversity of functions, activity patterns and relationships between manand-environment. Therefore, the architectural features of a neighborhood has implications in i...
Residents’ territorial cognition and behavior patterns: An inquiry into Kavaklıdere and Çukurambar Districts of Ankara, Turkey MEMLÜK ÇOBANOĞLU, NİHAN OYA; Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge (2023-01-01) As a part of the recent urban restructuring processes, the spatial layout of residential environments as street-based neighborhoods has left its place to cellular developments in the form of gated communities. This shift in the spatial organization altered the relationship of urbanites with their near-home environments. This research aims to depict the influence of this shift on the cognitive and behavioral patterns of the residents. To do so, it re-interprets the concept of ‘territoriality’ as a critical t...
Appropriation and allocation in the (RE) production of public spaces: a survey on three cases from Ankara Özkan, Selcen Özgül; Bilsel, Fatma Cânâ; Department of Architecture (2010) Public space is one of the most essential components of urban spaces, as the notion refers to the society and its values. Besides, public spaces provide the society with an opportunity of expression and identification; they have the potential of signification and of orientation of citizens‟ daily life. Public spaces are the urban places which are subject to either spontaneous or intentional transformations. In the present thesis, two developments which can be observed in these processes are examined: „appro...
