Name, Last Name : Demet ÖNDER Signature : iv ABSTRACT CHANGING GEOGRAPHY OF URBAN LEISURE: THE CASE OF ANKARA Önder, Demet Ph.D., Department of City and Regional Planning Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. H. Çağatay Keskinok February 2013, 199 pages This thesis study focuses on the formation and transformation of leisure activity in urbanization process. It is established on two fundamental assumptions. The first assumption is that (re)production of leisure space is a sociospatial process. There is a dialectic relationship between leisure activity and urban space: leisure activity produces appropriate spaces for itself, while the features of urban space provide opportunities for the development of leisure activity. In the same way, the city produces a space for the leisure activity, which in turn, contributes to the reproduction of the city. This is a never- ending process, and a result of dialectic relationship between leisure activity and urban space. Second assumption states that leisure space has been produced and reproduced historically: present- day leisure geography has been established on overlapping historical realities which are related to each other. Leisure space does not have static properties and nature; instead it is formed in a process of never-ending change, transformation and complicated interconnections. For this reason, in order to understand the structure of present-day geography of leisure, the change and transformation of leisure space has to be analyzed in a historical context. The thesis study approaches to leisure as a change and transformation problem in urban development. However, geography of leisure is not the only changing-one, content and context of leisure is also changing as well. Therefore, change and transformation is explained by neither a spaceless analysis of leisure activity nor a pure geographical analysis independent from social relations. This study tries to go beyond the so-called formulations of “spaceless leisure” or “space without its social context”. Changing geography of leisure throughout the history of Republican Ankara has been examined thoroughly in terms of sociospatial-dialectic between leisure activity and urban space. After this analysis, it is deduced that the change and transformation pattern of leisure space can be explained by five correlated variables: meaning, geography, form, provision, and scale. The total effect of these variables determines the sociospatial configuration of leisure activity in the city. The study conceptualizes the change in each variable under the five interrelated processes: individuation, decentralization, diversification, commodification, and downscaling. Deepening sociospatial segregation due to these five processes constitutes the main hypothesis of this thesis study. Keywords: Urban leisure geography, sociospatial dialectic, Ankara v ÖZ KENTSEL EĞLENCE-DİNLENCENİN DEĞİŞEN COĞRAFYASI: ANKARA ÖRNEĞİ Önder, Demet Doktora, Şehir ve Bölge Planlama Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Doç. Dr. H. Çağatay Keskinok Şubat 2013, 199 sayfa Bu tez çalışması eğlence-dinlence aktivitesinin kentleşme sürecindeki oluşumu ve dönüşümü üzerine odaklanmaktadır. Çalışma iki temel varsayım üzerine inşa edilmiştir. İlk varsayıma göre, eğlence- dinlence mekânlarının üretimi ve yeniden üretimi sosyomekansal bir süreçtir. Eğlence-dinlence aktivitesi ile kent mekânı arasında diyalektik bir ilişki vardır: eğlence-dinlence aktivitesi kentte kendine uygun mekânlar üretirken kent mekânının belirli özellikleri de eğlence-dinlence aktivitesinin gelişimi için olanaklar sunmaktadır. Aynı şekilde, kent, eğlence-dinlence aktivitesi için mekânlar üretmekte ve daha sonrasında ise bu üretilen mekânlar kentin yeniden üretimine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu sürekli devam eden bir süreçtir ve eğlence-dinlence aktivitesi ile kent mekânı arasındaki diyalektik ilişkinin bir sonucudur. İkinci varsayımla eğlence-dinlence mekânının tarihsel olarak (yeniden)üretilmekte olduğu kabul edilmektedir: günümüz eğlence-dinlence coğrafyası, birbiri üzerine binen ve birbirleriyle ilişkili tarihsel gerçeklikler üzerine inşa edilmiştir. Eğlence-dinlence mekânının durağan bir doğası ve sabit özellikleri yoktur, aksine eğlence-dinlence mekânı hiç bitmeyen bir değişim ve dönüşüm ve karmaşık bağımlılıklar sürecinde yapılandırılmaktadır. Bu nedenle, günümüz eğlence-dinlence coğrafyasının yapısını anlamak için eğlence-dinlence mekânının değişim ve dönüşümü tarihsel bir bağlamda analiz edilmelidir. Bu tez çalışması eğlence-dinlenceyi kentsel gelişme içinde tarihsel bir değişim ve dönüşüm problemi olarak ele almaktadır. Ancak, değişen yalnızca eğlence-dinlencenin coğrafyası değildir, eğlence- dinlencenin kapsamı ve bağlamı da değişmektedir. Dolayısıyla, değişim ve dönüşüm ne eğlence- dinlence aktivitesinin mekândan bağımsız analizi ile ne de toplumsal ilişkilerden bağımsız salt coğrafi analizi açıklanabilir. Bu çalışma “mekândan bağımsız eğlence-dinlence” ya da “sosyal bağlamdan bağımsız mekan” gibi formülasyonların ötesine geçmeye çalışmaktadır. Cumhuriyet Ankara’sının tarihinde eğlence-dinlencenin değişen coğrafyası, eğlence-dinlence aktivitesi ile kentsel mekân arasındaki diyalektik ilişki açısından detaylı olarak incelenmiştir. Bu analizden sonra eğlence-dinlence mekânının değişim ve dönüşüm örüntüsünün, birbiriyle ilişkili beş değişken ile açıklanabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır: anlam, coğrafya, biçim, sunum ve ölçek. Bu değişkenlerin toplam etkisi, eğlence-dinlence aktivitesinin kentteki sosyomekansal biçimlenişini belirlemektedir. Çalışma, her değişkendeki değişimi birbiriyle ilişkili beş süreç altında kavramsallaştırmıştır: bireyselleşme, adem-i merkeziyet (desantralizasyon), çeşitlenme, metalaşma ve ölçek küçülmesi. Bu süreçler sonucunda eğlence-dinlence mekânlarında sosyomekansal ayrışmanın derinleşmesi bu tezin temel hipotezini oluşturmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Kentsel eğlence-dinlence coğrafyası, sosyomekansal diyalektik, Ankara. vi To Hulio vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Assoc.Prof. Dr. Çağatay Keskinok for his help in articulating this dissertation and for his guidance and insight throughout the research.

  • An Insight Toward Experienced Reality
    Power Struggles in the Production of and Changing Perceptions over the Contemporary Public Space: An Insight toward Experienced Reality Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Newcastle University Tugce Sanli School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape January 2016 Abstract Cities have been invaded by the tools of the capitalist systems which transform the built environment while leaving the scars of this transformation on the societies. The demands of market forces generate new life styles and social contexts reshaped via relations of power and expression of political and economic hegemony. The nature of urban landscape, particularly the condition of public spaces, has shifted towards most profitable use while private interests have taken over public spaces and contemporary public spaces have emerged such as shopping malls. This study contributes to the debates that explore the ‘veiled’ side of planning and hegemonic relations of power in decision making processes that actually in a strong relation with cultural structuring and traditional praxis of a community. In addition, the study has a comprehensive approach by exploring societal influences emerging through power relations and their reflections on contemporary public spaces via exploring perceptions. The study conducts an investigation using qualitative methods and adopting case study approach via three shopping malls from Ankara (Turkey) to answer how urban power relations are generated and become effective on planning and production of contemporary public spaces and how the perceptions upon these public spaces are being transformed? Therefore, the study is founded on two main themes as pillars: power relations and public spaces. In addition, the empirical chapters at the end are set in parallel with the research objectives and data is gathered via archive analysis of the municipalities and interviews conducted with key informants and users of the selected cases.

It has gained attention with the contribution of Prof. Dr. Semavi Eyice who described the painting as “a view of Ankara” rather than the view of the city of Aleppo which was described as such before his study of the painting. The View of Ankara is not only important for Ankara studies as being the oldest painting of Ankara that is known but also it depicts various stages of mohair manufacture and the Angora goats being shorn on the foreground and points to the mohair trade which had been central to the economy of the city of Ankara.

  • Early Republican Ankara”: © 2011 SAGE Publications Reprints and Permission
    407738JUHXXX10.1177/0096144211407738BatumanJournal of Urban History Journal of Urban History 37(5) 661 –679 “Early Republican Ankara”: © 2011 SAGE Publications Reprints and permission: http://www. Struggle over Historical sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0096144211407738 Representation and the Politics http://juh.sagepub.com of Urban Historiography Bülent Batuman1 Abstract This article discusses the emergence of a particular historical representation: that of “early re- publican Ankara.” Becoming the capital of the newly born Turkish nation-state in 1923, Ankara was conceived as the symbolic locus of Turkish modernization. The old Ottoman town was rap- idly transformed into a modern capital. However, “early republican Ankara” as a historiographic category is a product of the 1990s. In this period, two distinct representations of the city sur- faced. One was the outcome of the incorporation of the postmodern critique of modernization into Turkish political history and was supported by the growing interest in urban studies. The other was a direct product of the nationalist call of the Turkish political establishment in the face of pressure from Kurdish nationalism and political Islam. Within this context, the notion of “early republican Ankara” emerged as a nostalgic image to promote national unity. Keywords early republican Ankara, politics of urban historiography, politics of nostalgia, Turkish modernization, Turkish urban studies History as a scholarly practice has to take power relations seriously in at least two senses. First, to be able to grasp a set of events that took place in the past, the power struggles that shaped these events have to be studied. Second, it is also necessary to remember that the knowledge of a cer- tain past brings about a particular representation of that historical moment, and as history writing is an act carried out in the present, such representation—although its referent is long gone—still means something today; it has significance within the context of current power relations.

Nowadays, bodybuilding is a popular sport among adolescents. There was lack of studies comparing bodybuilders with healthy controls by excluding anabolics in arrythmias. We aimed to evaluate structural, functional and electrical characteristics of the bodybuilders’ heart comparing with control subjects. Methods: In this study, 35 male competitive bodybuilders and 35 age-, gender-, body mass index- matched healthy control subjects were evaluated. A detailed cardiovascular and systemic examination was per- formed at the beginning of the study with demographic data and anthropometric measures. Biochemical ACE: Angiotensin converting enzyme; ARB: Angiotensin receptor blocker; TSH: Thyroid-stimulating hormone. and haemotologic, echocardiographic, 24 h holter recordings, and ECG measurements obtained from all participants.

  • Re-Creating Nostalgia: Urban Culture in the Citadel
    Ankara Araştırmaları Dergisi n Journal of Ankara Studies Hakemli Makale n Refereed Article Geliş tarihi \ Received : 04.05.2018 Kabul tarihi \ Accepted : 23.08.2018 Re-Creating Nostalgia: Urban Culture in the Citadel, Hamamönü and Hamamarkası Neighbourhoods of Ankara* Nostaljiyi Yeniden Yaratmak: Ankara’nın Kale, Hamamönü ve Hamamarkası Mahallelerinde Kent Kültürü** Petek ONUR Dr., Bağımsız Araştırmacı [email protected] DOI: 10.5505/jas.2018.41713 Abstract Conservation, renovation, restoring and urban regeneration activities have been carried out in the historic centre of Ankara, in Ankara Citadel since 2007 and right beside it, in Hamamönü both by local government and investors from the public sector and small-scale enterprises. Hamamarkası region has been the last episode of this process. These activities construct spaces for the consumption and demands of the tourists as well as urban travellers and create a new nostalgia culture based on the phenomenon of authenticity by means of aestheticisation practices. Local ties of belonging which weaken with modernization of globalization come to the fore again and become determining in the production and consumption phases of nostalgia culture. The aim of this study is to examine the formation of the nostalgia culture in these historic regions of Ankara and the diversities that have been produced within it by several actors. Based on the fieldwork comprising the enterprises like cafés, restaurants, antique shops, art galleries, art studios, boutique hotels in the regions, the study presents the repercussions of social memory, traditions, perceptions and longings of the past in the urban culture of Ankara. In the light of these data, it is seen that in these three regions different nostalgia cultures are formed and the emerging cultures are both influenced by neo-liberal globalization and the prevailing political dynamics in Turkey, particularly by the policy of neo-Ottomanism which has been effective in the last ten years.
