Challenging Geographical Disadvantages and Social Exclusion: A Case Study of Gendered Rural Transformation in Mountain Villages in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey Him, Miki Suzuki; Hoşgör, Hatice Ayşe (Wiley, 2019-07-01) This article discusses the gender-specific effect of the changing economic structure of mountain villages in Turkey. Rural women, who are conventionally unpaid family workers, have begun entering into off-farm work due to declining household incomes in recent years. The implications of this for gender relations are found to be contradictory in much recent research. In this study, we employed the concepts of the hybridity of rural communities and the multiplicity of social exclusion in a globalising countrys...
Questioning an “Icon Of Change”: The Nuruosmaniye Complex and the Writing of Ottoman Architectural History Suman, Selva (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2011) Onsekizinci yüzyılda İstanbul, önemli politik, sosyo-ekonomik ve kültürel değişikliklere sahne olmuş, halkın değişen zevkleri ve hayat tarzları ile devletin gücünü ve otoritesini yeniden kurma çabaları geniş ve yoğun bir mimari yapılaşmayı da beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu değişiklikler kentin genel görünümüne de yansımış, ithal edilen yabancı formlar ve yeniliklerin geleneksel Osmanlı unsurları ile birlikte kullanılması sonucu yeni ve karışık bir mimari dil ortaya çıkmaya başlamıştır. Bu çalışmanın konusu ola...
Contesting neoliberal urbanisation : contemporary urban movements in Istanbul, the case of Gülsuyu-Gülensu neighbourhoods Özdemir, Esin; Eraydın, Ayda; Department of City and Regional Planning (2013) The shift from Keynesian to neo-liberal economic policies marked the changes in the urban agenda and the nature of urban movements in the last three decades. The neo-liberal urbanisation reinforced outstanding transformations on the development of urban space, especially in metropolitan areas, including Istanbul. The urban transformation projects, as instruments of neoliberal urbanisation, result in serious changes in this metropolitan area and encounter resistances from groups of people in the city. The pu...
Looking at the urban transformation project from the gecekondu dwellers’ perspective: the case of Mamak Poyraz, Ufuk; Şengül, Hüseyin Tarık; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2011) The gecekondu settlements emerged as a grassroots solution to the housing problem of migrant population in the lack of effective state intervention. Although most of these settlements gained legal status and title deeds in the following decades, they were still considered to be problem to be solved in due process. Starting from the mid-1980s, as a result of the so-called rehabilitation plans, considerable part of the gecekondu areas underwent a rapid redevelopment process through the market mechanism. The g...
Approaching non-western consumer cultures from a historical perspective: The case of early modern Ottoman consumer culture Karababa, Eminegül (2012-03-01) A very common but futile practice in scientific research investigating non-western consumercultures and markets is the imposition of concepts that are derived from a single historical trajec-tory of western modernization. This paper aims to show that there are alternative historical trajec-tories in the early modern period which have formed today’s multiple modern consumer cultures.The particularities of the Ottoman context, which shaped the development of an alternative earlymodern consumer culture, are ex...
