Space, beyond mere physical definitions, is a structure constantly shaped by everyday life practices and capable of self-reconstruction. In this study, the potential of everyday life practices to create a a dynamic, dynamic, and flexible space, besides its previously defined and revealed physical boundaries, will be measured through tea gardens. With their cultural and symbolic value in Turkish society from past to present; it is believed that tea gardens have formed an unique a social space special to our culture by providing an integrative and egalitarian social environment where individuals engage in various activities within their daily life flow. In this context, the spatial examination of tea gardens, which have become social spaces where people from all layers of society can come together, and the reevaluation of their place within everyday life have become significant topics. Within this framework, the study will focus on Moda Family Tea Garden, one of the oldest and well-known tea gardens in İstanbul. Within the scope of the study, the analysis has aimed to decipher spatial practices in everyday life through deductions drawn from Lefebvre, through the criteria of "leveller, everyday life, production of space, social relationships, and coexistence." The study mainly approaches the space within the framework of a theoretical discussion, and it is reached a conclusion based on the spatial data evaluates in the specific case Moda Family Tea Garden. Through empirical findings obtained from field study conducted using observation technique, the focus is on experiencing the urban space that supports the formation of everyday life and determining of the pratices of space.

Collective memory is a way of remembering that makes it possible for society or groups to have a common identity by bridging the past and the future. Pierre Bourdieu's practical theory also allows discussion of the continuity of collective memory in the context of the structure-action relationship. In this context, the aim of the study is to reveal that social agents are effective in the reproduction of memory. This is done by associating the construction of collective memory with Pierre Bourdieu's conceptualization of space, habitus and capital in the sample of the city of Ankara, which represents the founding ideology of the Republic of Turkey. In line with the purpose of the study, the documentary film named "Ankara Ambiance", which was broadcast on Blu TV, a digital platform, was chosen as a sample. The "What Matters to Heart and Love" episode, which was broadcast as the first episode of the documentary, was analyzed using the content analysis method. As a result of the study, it has been evaluated that collective memory is reproduced in the form of space with administrative, political and ideological perspectives. The idea is that the founding leader is a common value which is effective in the reproduction of space in the form of collective memory and is closely related to the social space of individuals and the types of capital they have.

This study aims to determine the differentiations in urban-specific attitudes and behaviors of individuals regarding urbanization as a result of urban transformation practices and physical and social change of urban space in Yükseltepe and Şehit Kubilay neighborhoods of Keçiören district of Ankara. In this context, the opinions and experiences of the participants participating in the research on urbanization; It has been tried to determine who is from the city, what the most important profile of the urban individual is, whether they feel urban or not, the length of stay in the place where they live and the sense of belonging. The research is a field study based on quantitative method. In the stage of obtaining the sample from the research universe, the probability-based sampling technique was applied. In order to obtain the research data, a face-to-face survey technique was applied and a survey was conducted with 405 people. According to the findings, it has been concluded that although the previous social structure of the research region has slum behavior patterns, as a result of urban transformation practices, the social change of the urban space and its integration with the city, bring urbanization with it. At the same time, as the duration of residence in Ankara increases, the rate of feeling of belonging to the place of residence also increases. As a result, as the length of time individuals live in the city increases, both the sense of belonging increases and the adaptation to the living space and social integration occur. Thus, more city-specific socio-cultural experience and equipment are gained in the urbanization process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Traditional Anatolian settlements have been formed as a reflection of community life. In the study, it was aimed to compare the housing relations with social and public spaces such as courtyards/gardens, streets and squares in different urban textures. Accordingly, the study was conducted over 10 neighborhoods in 5 regions from Anatolia's different geographical regions which have both unplanned-organic and planned-geometrical textures. As study areas, Kula Zaferiye and Bey Neighborhoods, Avanos Orta and Bahcelievler Neighborhoods, Safranbolu Akcasu and Emek Neighborhoods, Boyabat Gokdere and Yildiz Neighborhoods, and Midyat Isiklar-Akcakaya-Bahcelievler Neighborhoods were determined. Analyses were performed on street and residence arrangements in unplanned and planned neighborhoods, urban spaces that stand out in spatial integration, concentration space typologies that have different publicity degrees in urban spaces, the functional properties of concentration-square spaces in settlements, and plane properties that vertically and horizontally determine concentration spaces connected to residence units in neighborhoods. Social interaction-concentration spaces such as courtyard/garden, street, and square with semi-private/public, and public features were discussed in terms of sustainability based on spatial and formal analysis findings. It was concluded that particularly the transition from intertwined building arrangements to detached building arrangement affected community life and spaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Shopping malls are among the important social and consumption spaces of modern life. They are centers of life and attractions and have the power to influence individuals and societies. Shopping malls produce different kinds of cultural forms, communal forms, symbolic codes and universes of meaning while changing the social worlds of individuals, their relationships and the meanings they attach to many concepts. Shopping malls create significant opportunities for social scientific research with the crowds formed in these spaces, and their characteristics and social depth. The problem of this research is to discover what kind of social, symbolic, imaginary and metaphoric meanings consumers attach to these spaces. The aim of this study is to analyze the different meanings that shopping mall visitors ascribe to these centers and to reveal the essence of the individual's experiences with a phenomenological sociological approach. This study aims to analyze shopping malls in terms of consumer discourse, thus, exploring contemporary consumer societies through shopping malls from a social scientific approach. There are many studies on shopping malls in various disciplines. In the studies carried out in the field of sociology, these places are; public, urban, leisure and consumption spaces. Although there are various studies on the consumptionshopping mall relationship, there is no research that examines the meanings shopping mall users attach to these places with a phenomenological pattern, which makes our study unique in the field of sociology of religion. The significance of our research lies in the systematical revealing of the meanings that consumers attach to shopping malls, and doing so directly from the point of view of consumers, contributing to the existing research of the social reality of consumption and today's societies, filling the gap in the fields of sociology and sociology of religion, and guiding to new research possibilities. Qualitative methods and phenomenological design are applied in the study. With the phenomenological pattern, it is tried to understand what meanings consumers attach to shopping malls and how they interpret their experiences. In the study, indepth interviews based on a semi-structured interview form were conducted with 20 participants with different socio-demographic characteristics selected through a study group of a maximum diversity sample. Content analysis was performed on the data in accordance with the phenomenological analysis stages. The interviews were first transcribed, then read several times, reviewed and then encoded. The encoded data were first brought together within the framework of categories and then common themes. Then, the data were synthesized in a way to present a general interpretation of the phenomenon and tried to be read within the framework of the phenomenological sociological context. As a result of the research, it is seen that shopping malls are interpreted in different contexts, and the themes reached are presented under two basic themes as sections from "panorama of consumption" and "panorama of hierophany ".

In the 2000s, concrete steps were taken regarding urban transformation with both legal regulations and public policies in Turkey, and transformation works were initiated in Eskişehir as in many cities. In this article, Porsuk-1 and Porsuk-2 Urban Transformation and Development Project, which are currently ongoing in Eskişehir, are evaluated from the design plan and its current situation. By means of these projects, it is aimed that the city center will regain its lost value, the potential of the collapsed areas will become apparent, the Porsuk Stream will be brought to urban use with its parks, gardens and green areas, the city center will be expanded, pedestrianization will be increased, and the safety of the region will be improved through rehabilitation. In the context of the projects, Eskişehir, which has left a city heritage to the citizens with its identity, its past, and its registered buildings, and stands out with its tourism, consumption and entertainment centers, is examined through variables such as gentrification, the relationship of social memory with space, consumption areas, rent, actors of transformation. Through this study, it is aimed to contribute to the ongoing projects and the understanding of urban transformation in Turkey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The transformation of the Covid-19 virus into a global health emergency by the year 2020 has had major impacts on different fields of social life. The economic effects of the pandemic and the laws and regulations practiced in national and global level to prevent its spread have inevitably lead to dramatic consequences in the field of consumption. Consumption is not merely an individual and economic activity, but a determinant factor which shapes capitalism following the second half of 20th century. Consumption, which should be considered as a social phenomenon, is a field of symbolic values, where cultural practices are embodied, and which has an impact on our entire social life. In this respect, it is thought that following the effects of the pandemic in the field of consumption will provide important sociological clues. In this direction, based on the consumption phenomenon, consumer and consumer behavior, the study aims to conduct a literature review on the transformations experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic and to bring the process up for a theoretical discussion. It is aimed briefly to evaluate transforming consumption practices and to associate them with the pandemic process, based on panic buying behavior, consumption categories which gain importance with digitalization as a social space such as online shopping and media consumption habits, and generation Z, who are considered to be important agent in digital experiences.

Design and planning areas seek solutions to the technical, aesthetic and functional requirements of the spaces for social and economic needs. These solutions focus on the mutual benefits of spaces and their users. While every space exists for a user, the expectations of the user from the place manage this existence process. From the smallest scale to the largest scale, the design process is a collocation where the designer evaluates the function of the space and the expectations of the space users together. This collocation action also includes the organization created by a process. For this reason, it is important to investigate the design requirements that have existed from the beginning or emerged over time in the design and planning process of architectural structures. This study aims to determine the process starting from the perception of space and the necessity of the spatial arrangement method in order to prepare a design guide for environmental character and experiential evaluations as a requirement of the spatial organization.

In the structures that have survived from the past to the present, the spaces have been shaped according to the socio-cultural lifestyle of the society and have been rearranged according to their changes over time. Lifestyles, religious beliefs, the desire to protect family unity played a great role in the formation of spaces in the buildings. In societies with a patriarchal family system, living spaces and spaces have been built in sizes suitable for the size of the family, and social spaces where the whole family can spend time together have been created. In this study, in addition to its historical importance in Diyarbakir traditional architecture, CemilpaĢa Mansion, which has a very special and important place in terms of plan layout, has been examined with the spatial analyzes from the past to the present day. CemilpaĢa Mansion is the only one among the mansions in Diyarbakır, where the harem and salutation sections have survived to the present day. The mansion's uniqueness in its architecture and layout and the preservation of the traces of the past in the spaces made this mansion special and constituted an important factor in its selection for our study. Although the original architecture of the mansion has not changed in general today, significant changes and transformations have been observed in the use of the spaces in the mansion. After the literature study about the mansion, the books about the CemilpaĢa Family were examined, and oral interviews were held with experts about the past uses of the mansion. In the study, the personal photographs and documents belonging to the CemilpaĢa Family and the past use of the harem-selamlık spaces were examined, and the effects and reflections of the traces of the past on the formation of the spaces were investigated. The work has been completed by making determinations about the re-functioning of CemilpaĢa Mansion, which has been converted into a city museum today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Revolutionary changes in mass media in recent years have led to the emergence of new communication means known as social media. Due to advances in information and communication technologies, new social spaces as well as new digital identities may develop, or old identities may be reproduced in a new space. Particularly Facebook has become a primary and unique space where new identities are generated, or old ones are reproduced. As is known, tribe identity is one of the most resistant identities in the Middle East. Urbanization, modernization and rapid technological advancement have forced tribes in both city and countryside to change. Within this context, tribes in contemporary Turkey have visibility and representations on social platforms such as Facebook and these traditional identities are reproduced in a virtual space. This visibility and representation have brought about various sociological phenomena such as re-tribalism in a digital environment, digital socialization and politicization. This study therefore aims to reveal the adaptation of tribes to technological changes and advances in mass media. To that end, it examines the representation of tribe members on Facebook, their purpose of unification on Facebook, connections established with tribe geography in this new environment and the mechanisms for reproduction of tribes on social media. Within this framework, it also deals with tribes' registration in social media platforms, their posts, re-establishment of their interaction and communication, representation of this new identity in a social media environment and their sense of belonging to this environment. For the purposes of this study, a qualitative research method has been used, digital documents have been analysed and the data obtained have been examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Having dedicated a great effort to the critique of the totalizing effect of the allencompassing notion of "Islamic city", Ottoman city studies either propose regional analysis models or underline the unique character of the developmental trajectory of each city. Extended to the concept of urban segregation, this individualist method draws attention to different traits of social spacing: Each Ottoman city has a special nature and degree of segregation along either ethnic/religious or economic axis. In the mid-19th century, the Citadel was a cosmopolitan district of Ankara, composed of quarters hosting various communities with differentiated occupations and income levels. These variables were recorded quasi-systematically in the post-Tanzimat era on registers entitled "temettuat defterleri", planned, organized and kept presumably in order to distribute the tax burden fairly among subjects. Based on a comparative analysis of temettuat registers this essay investigates different aspects of segregation among quarters of the Citadel. It aims to assess the location and ethnic composition of intramural quarters of Ankara, the nature of differentiation in terms of profession, income level, location of suburban property, vineyards and orchards, and shop ownership. It proposes to utilize temettuat data set as a tool of analysis for the exploration of the nature of ethnic and economic segregation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the potential of social space formation in the step streets and the affecting factors were discussed. Within the scope of the study, step streets, social space, public space, belonging to the city have been researched and aimed to establish conceptual links by associating them with the city. Just as there are popular step streets over the world, there are also step streets which attract attention in the historical regions of Istanbul. With the qualitative research method, the use of the public space of the staircase streets was examined through the parameters of accessibility, comfort, efficiency and aesthetics, and in this context, the success of use as a social space, the potentials of the stairs were determined by on-site observation and measurement methods. Within the scope of the study, Balat Merdivenli Mektep Street, Beyoğlu Hacı Ali Street and Üsküdar Yeni Dünya Street are evaluated in detail in terms of physical and social spatial features. Within the framework of the findings obtained, the contributions of the stairs to the environment and lifestyle were examined. The existence of the step streets as a social space and their participation in the city life were researched through the visibility of the social media, the photo and video sharing application "Instagram", and the visibility of the streets with the social media were evaluated through the users' shares. The research results show that the streets and the physical properties of the streets with stairs contribute to the potential of social space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Michel Foucault states that the 19th century is the age of history, and the 20th century is that of space. He attached special importance to space in analyzing societies utilizing the concept of "heterotopia", a term he introduced expending thus the discourse on space in the field of social sciences. Heterotopia can differ from one to another cultural areas and can accommodate different periods and places within a single space. These two features of heterotopia also provide important tools for analyzing Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar's book Five Cities where he describes the cities of Ankara, Konya, Erzurum, Bursa and Istanbul. The five cities chosen by Tanpınar host many different civilizations, their unique nature embedded into space. Therefore, traces of different eras are observed in every place mentioned. In this article, heterotopic places in the Beş Şehir novel of Tanpınar will be examined following the theoretical framework of Michel Foucault's works. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The place, which has an important place in forming the individual's self-values, is the export of the individual's inner integrity. As one grasps his own existence and values, he creates ontological ties with space. As these bonds become deep and aesthetic images, space-human dialectic becomes a great awareness. In this respect, place is the subjective, special focal value plane in which new occurrences and renderings occur, where human existence is located at any moment. In this study, we tried to deal with the special and subjective spatial planes that Nuri Pakdil established in his poems. The spatial optical perception that Pakdil has created in his works 'Sükût Suretinde', 'Ahid Kulesi', 'Osmanlı Simitçiler Kasidesi' and 'Anneler ve Kudüsler' creates deep and aesthetic integrity as it unfolds from place to place. In his poems, space becomes a wider social place space by being added from home to neighborhood, from city to country, from country to continents. Place in Pakdil is the first seed with symbolic and imaginative depth in the formation of geography ideas. It is seen that the activist spirit, who is an urban poet, who opposes being just a witness of the age he lived in his poems, is almost tangible through the spaces. Mecca, Jerusalem, Istanbul and the Middle East, which have completed their "I" in his imaginary world, have an important place in the poems of Nuri Pakdil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The spatial turn experienced in geography or more broadly in the social sciences in the 1990s continues to affect the mentioned sciences today. This effect is inherently more pronounced in geographical discipline. While trying to explain the events, phenomena and experiences or briefly all human practices in the social world, spatial dimension has been taken into account as it was not done in a considerate manner before. Especially for geographers, understanding, explaining and interpreting the physical and social space consists of one of the main agenda topics. If we define this situation as one of the existential aims for geographers, we may not consider to exaggerate it. If claimed otherwise, so it may be raised a question like this one: So why do geographers and geographers exist? Why should they continue to exist? It would be almost impossible to answer this vital question. A broad perspective is needed in the theory of space due to the predominance of abstract thought, the multidimensionality of the space and having different meanings. Therefore, to expand our perspective and to be more explanatory with the help of the related literature, certain concepts are used. We tried to put these concepts into the practice of spatial thinking. In order to make the study more comprehensible, the concepts and relationality have been concretized through examples. The other, metageography, intersectionality and liminal space interpreted from a relational framework while not adopting an approach such that space might be fully known and analysed, considering the space as in a state of constantly transforming, changing, being produced and reproduced.

This paper focuses on the concept of "social space," a key concept developed by Pierre Bourdieu for advancing his sociological research program. In investigating the possible novel venues of sociological inquiry opened up by the intervention provided by Bourdieu's use of social space, this paper ventures into the archives of International Journal of Urban and Regional Research to understand how Bourdieu's work was reflected upon within the field of urban research in the last four decades. New urban sociology and Marxist urbanism's understanding and interpretation of space has changed significantly throughout the years. Yet, Bourdieu had a certain theory effect, and this has acted upon a steady stream of research, especially since the 2000s. IJURR had gone through what we can call a series of theoretical ruptures in the three decades. Hence, while investigating the Bourdieu's ouevre three important moments are animated here: first, the inherent rupture of the 1960s as a reaction to the Chicago School and its quantitative inheritors are explicated. Second moment requires a critical engagement with the new-born -or, still-birth- new urban sociology and how Manuel Castells' theoretical approach created a new doxa in the academic field. 1970s and 1980s was a crucial point of transformation for the urbanists. In the third moment, I investigated how Bourdieu's analysis was appropriated in the symbolic space of the sociological and urban sociological field. Bourdieu's conceptual framework created a plethora of new approaches, however, their analytical relationship with both Bourdieu's sociological program and the hitherto prevalent spatial imagination is frequently questioned. Here, I suggested an objectification of the Bourdieu's theoretical and research work and tried to locate the breaks and continuities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the foundation of the Islamic Civilization, science and culture have been recognized as preconditions in almost every field, but have begun to gain awareness in every kind of scientific development social space in the developed civilizations of the period.

Unlike economical reductionist versions of Marxism, Pierre Bourdieu doesn't define class basically upon the relationships with production means. He perceives them as fractions layered by economical, cultural, social and symbolic capitals. Therefore social life is a battlefield where actors endeavour to raise their capitals and reach higher fractions. Bourdieu's explanation of war upon social space can provide a new dimention for understanding war. The meaningful relationship between social life and war provided by Bourdieu gives us the opportunity to understand war from a sociological view. Additionally this theoretical and methodological infrastructure can contribute to war studies' aim to understand war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The dimensions of the modernization project in Turkey had began to take place since 19th the mid-century but its adhibition as a radical modernization project and denomination and development of many innovations which were laid the foundations or thought, and the implementation being added new ones occured with the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. It is seen that the period of partial modernization which has been continuing since Tanzimat has been applied with complete determination over the spare time period which is in the period of social life, everyday life and everyday life. Perhaps the most concrete indicators of these changes and transformations in Turkey since the 19th century have been observed in the cities and in the cities. The urbanization process that started from the middle of the 1800s differentiated Mersin from the many Ott oman cities that underwent important changes in the 19th century. Because Mersin was developed at a time when modern elements were added to the traditional structure of many Ott oman cities and the process of modernization realized the formation of a brand new city here. In this study, the reflection of the new formation, namely modernization, in Mersin's leisure time sense will be discussed. In addition, it will be given to which venues this time was consumed; so that the appearance of leisure time in Mersin will be examined. Hence, between 1923 and 1950, the places and entertainment places in the city where people spend their leisure time will be mentioned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Among the priorities of the state towards places identified by their ethno-cultural characteristics is putting these places under surveillance and control, thereby trying to acquire data from them. Functioning within this given framework, the state tries to make use of all the elements that communicate with the place. In this regard, some economic agents, while carrying out their trade functions, are forced into a situation in which they come to serve that priority of the state. This way, these economic agents assume different functions beside their main professions. These different functions may even obscure the main profession of these agents. Under these circumstances, perceptions towards the profession are reconstructed through utterly different reference points and thus become a subject of discussions with its new content. In this sense, the experience of peddling (çerçilik) in Turkey has been a subject of debate for assuming different functions than simple trading. This article attempts to clarify the differing functions of peddling, which had been an active field of business until recently, within the context of security politics through the case of Dersim known for its particular ethno-cultural characteristics. Based on the case study of a village and as part of a widespread perception in Dersim, this article examines the processes that lie behind the emergence of peddling and security oriented politics through an analysis of the form of relations between peddlers and villagers.
