This research investigates the relationship between social cohesion and the production of space through the socio-spatial transformations that four specific streets of Ankara’s Demirlibahçe neighborhood have been experiencing. The primary aim of focusing on these four streets, which have been appropriated by three communities (Roma, Turkmen migrants from Iraq/Telafer, and locals) is to scrutinize how the production of space in particular streets hampers possible social cohesion at the local level. In relation to the first, a second aim is to investigate to what extent immigrants’ spatial practices become the basis of their sense of belonging, while in return creating differential spaces within the streets where preexisting social cohesion between the locals and Roma is reshaped. The study presents the ongoing socio-spatial transformations within the Demirlibahçe neighborhood, through tracing three groups’ social cohesion processes in/to space and community.

Socio-Spatial Politics of Otherness: The Desire to Construct a Counterhegemony Yoltay, Ece (2019-03-01) This study is based on an empirical research to understand the production of nongovernmental spatial practices and representations with a counterformation to an authority, as well as an ontological discussion on the relations between public space and power. In this respect, the study is constructed on an alternative spatial reading of counterspaces (LGBTI-friendly spaces, political spaces, and resistance spaces) in the capital of Turkey, Ankara, benefiting from Henri Lefebvre’s theory on the production of s...
Reconstruction of collective memory through spatial representations of İzmir waterfront, since the 1920s Yüksel, Pınar; Sargın, Güven Arif; Department of Architecture (2015) This study explores the spatial transformation of Kordonboyu and its representations under the theoretical framework of collective memory. Memory as a dynamic and evolving phenomenon with regard to the associated social frameworks of an everchanging present is a collective entity. Urban space that is under continuous transformation within political, economic, and social discourses constitutes the material background of these social frameworks. This research examines the construction and maintenance of colle...
Investigating the house-church in Dura-Europos: production of social space Güney, Ahmet Öncü; Güven, Suna Naziyet; Department of History of Architecture (2012) This thesis investigates space through its relationship with society based on the idea of the social production of space. By employing the social concepts of community and institution, and the spatial concepts of shelter space and marker space, it provides a theoretical perspective for the evaluation of space in architectural history. This theoretical frame is supplied with a case study on the evolution of Early Christian community and their meeting place. The historical course of the Early Christianity in ...
Building communities. Presenting a model of community formation and organizational complexity in southwestern Anatolia Daems, Drıes (2019-12-01) In this paper, a model of community formation and organizational complexity is presented, focusing on the fundamental role of social interactions and information transmission for the development of complex social organisation. The model combines several approaches in complex systems thinking which has garnered increasing attention in archaeology. It is then outlined how this conceptual model can be applied in archaeology. In the absence of direct observations of constituent social interactions, archaeologis...
Mahalle Ölçeğinde Mekân Üzerinden İktidar Üretimi: Çukur Dizisindeki İktidar Temsillerinin Çözümlemeleri Ülkeryıldız, Evren; Topa Çiftçi, Gaye (Middle East Technical University Faculty of Architecture, 2022-6) Bu araştırmada Çukur dizisinde simüle edilen kentsel mekân örüntülerinin gayri resmi sosyal kontrol normları yaratarak kendi içinde alternatif bir otorite temsili sunduğu, bu durumun mekân üzerinden iktidar üretimiyle sonuçlandığı tartışılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda araştırmadaki temel amaç; mekânsal nitelikler üzerinden şekillenen mahallelerdeki gayri resmi sosyal kontrolün nasıl sağlandığını, Çukur’da yaratılan mekân temsilleri üzerinden sorgulamaktır. Çukur dizisinde simüle edilen kentsel mekân örüntüleri örne...
