Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Contextualising the Housing Problem of the Roma Community in Relation To Counterurbanisation in Urla, İzmir(Elsevier, 2024) Arslan Avar, Adile; Doğan, Fehmi; Özcan Cive, Yağmur; Akış, TonguçThis paper examines how the housing problem of the Roma people, living already under severe socio-spatial circumstances, has been exacerbated by counterurbanisation over recent decades in the resort town of Urla, İzmir. Based on empirical socio-spatial research adopting methodological pluralism integrating qualitative and quantitative research techniques, the study uses in-depth interviews and secondary data (e.g., real-estate web data, official statistics, and local media) as well as spatial analysis of satellite images. We limited our study to the proximity of the town center of Urla, considering the Roma community's ‘right to the city’, ensuring their right not to be exiled to the spaces of discrimination, and not to be exempted from their right to appear and co-exist in the town center. As Urla became a prominent and attractive destination of counterurbanisation in Turkey, its growth was intensified by high-end housing production. Coming to 2000s, its urban-rural texture remained, at least physically, ‘rural’, but it had undergone significant transformation. And while this recent higher-end development accompanied by counterurbanisation is sanctioned by local authorities, the public and property owners, it leaves no room for the Roma people to find decent housing. An inquiry on the housing problem of the Roma people in Urla in relation to counterurbanisation and accompanying housing production contributes to understanding the dialectics between deregulated housing market, commodification and uneven distribution of treasury lands, neoliberal regulations, and fragmented development plans implemented in highly “path-dependent” ways. © 2023 Elsevier LtdResearch Project İmar afları sonrasında İzmir'de gecekondulaşma: Sosyo-ekonomik, mekansal bir çözümleme(TÜBİTAK - Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, 2005) Özdemir, Semahat; Arslan Avar, Adile; Şenol, Pervin; Sevinç Kaya, Nuray; Kutluca, Ahmet Kıvanç; Velibeyoğlu, Hasibe; Güçer, Evrim; Kompil, Mert; Yankaya, Uğur; Elvan, İrem; Bektaş, Birkan; İnce Kompil, Esin[No Abstract Available]Article İzmir Narlıdere'de kentsel dönüşüm projesinin uygulanmasında gecekondu maliklerinin karşılaşabileceği sorunlar(İdeal Kent Yayınları, 2021) Uysal, Ayça; Arslan Avar, AdileBased on the Critical Urban Theory, the study addresses the housing problem of the poor against neoliberal housing production in İzmir. The problem of research is the dispossession of the poor with the rent gap pressure created by neoliberal housing production. The situation of the poor living in the squatter area of the Narlıdere, İkinci İnönü Neighborhood against the neoliberal housing production is examined. The study is methodologically pluralistic and it is based on institutional, spatial, and digital data, quantitative and qualitative field study. The squatter area is surrounded by luxury housing development and was declared as an area under disaster risk according to law number 6306. The transformation project which directly affects the squatter housing residents has been planning. The transformation project is market-based and focuses on spatial transformation. The research findings and Housing Affordability Index calculations which take the housing prices and household income into account show that the urban renewal process will result in slum clearance and residents of the squatters may encounter social, economic, and spatial problems.
