    This study aims to examine the differing and intersecting daily life experiences of Syrian refugee women and non-refugee women living in deprived neighborhoods as well as their spatial tactics in urban public spaces that develop through these experiences. In deprived neighborhoods, low-income groups live, and ethnic diversity is high. The residents' daily routines become common due to spatial proximity and interaction. In addition to these commonalities, the research questions how the urban daily life tactics of women living in deprived neighborhoods differ through their refugee identities. The case study of the research, developed with an ethnographic approach, is based on the Sakarya and Yeni neighborhoods in İzmir. In these neighborhoods, refugee population density is relatively high. Research data were gathered through 30 in-depth interviews with refugee and non-refugee women living in the study site, local expert interviews as mukhtars and associations, and field observations. This study reveals the social and physical deprivation characteristics of the neighborhood and explains women’s perceptions of the neighborhood through their daily experiences. Deprivation experiences and perceptions of women in the neighborhood affect their use of urban public spaces. This study discusses the spatial tactics of refugee and non-refugee women in urban public spaces as part of their daily routines.

    Leisure Spaces in Working Places of Everyday Life: Examining Spatial Production in İzmir Campuses

    The everyday life cycle consists of working time, leisure time, and some compulsory activities repetition. Although these activities back to ancient times, the fact that everyday life gains a social character is the result of modernity. In the modern world, working time has left home and moved to the public sphere. In this case, leisure time is now 'not work.' The division of everyday life into different time zones has also divided the spaces into temporal categories. The daily life of the modern world is based on the idea that 'everything has a time and a place.' The campus spaces, which are historically spatial structures belonging to the modern period, also refer to this programmed life order of modernism. However, the transformation processes of modernism in specific breaking periods and the change of leisure time in the historical process have significantly changed the spatial structure of these spaces. This study aims to discuss the changing relationship between work and leisure time through campus spaces covering both time periods. For this discussion to be concrete in everyday life, three campus structures with different functions that were established in İzmir during similar periods in Turkey's modernization process; Sümerbank, Ege University, and DSİ (State Hydraulic Works) campuses, constitute the study's spatial cases. At the same time, in these campus spaces, which are considered as an idea of designing everyday life, daily life that is taken within defined boundaries, and the reproduction of the space in leisure time are discussed.
