    Leisure Spaces in Working Places of Everyday Life: Examining Spatial Production in İzmir Campuses
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Çelikbilek, Gökçe; Akış, Tonguç
    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.

    Duality of Nature and Urban in Socio-Environmental Transformations: Case of the Kemalpaşa Nation Garden
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) İncekaş, Firuze; Akış, Tonguç
    Starting from the Industrial Era to the present, the notion of 'urban' has undergone various transformations in social-environmental field and presents itself spatially in many diversified forms. Transformations and changes in contemporary urban space depending on the rapid and intensive urbanization, has many different social dynamics performed by powerful actors. At this point, urban green spaces and their social dynamics, which are the crucial determinants of urban space, have substantial properties for curious researcher. Within the scope of this study, firstly, it is aimed to examine and criticise the spatiality of urbanization on the transformation of socio-environmental properties. One can say that through the urban processes and their prominent instruments, these transformations constitute the duality of urban and nature (environment, green, rural, etc.). At this point, while attempting to uncover the notions and physicalities of urban and nature together, the production of urban green spaces, which can be considered as a spatial medium in duality of urban and nature, is studied in the particularities of urbanization. Since the Kemalpaşa Nation Garden, which is the prominent and only case study of this study, is not functioned and articulated as an urban park conceptually, the theoretical framework of the thesis focuses on the critical studies of urban green spaces with a broader perspective; while trying to reveal the social potentials and historical venture of them. Additionally, the neoliberal policies and their power dynamics behind the recent Nation Gardens are examined with a critical lens. Kemalpaşa Nation Garden with its original and crystallized hints in power discussions on space becomes the distinguished example for understanding recent formation of urban green space in Turkey. Therefore, within the thesis, while the Kemalpaşa Nation Garden is framed and studied in social, political and spatial contexts, it is critically observed through the discussions on public space via ideological and morphological features.

    Traces of Migration: Three Spatial Reflection of Population Exchange in Aegean Region
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Türkmenoğlu, Beste; Akış, Tonguç
    This academic study focuses on the spatial traces in the three villages in Aegean region, namely, Denizli/Honaz, Aydın/Mursallı, and Izmir/Küçükbahçe. These physical modifications done to the pre-existing buildings by their new users who arrived during the migratory movements stemmed from the developments of Population Exchange as agreed upon in the Lausanne Peace Treaty in 1923. This thesis is aiming to record the effects of spaces, memories, and spatial traces in these three settlements in the Aegean Region referring to the migration. The purpose of thesis is to examine, understand and discuss the effects of migration and population exchanges while considering the spatiality and the architecture influenced by these phenomena, today. Besides, inhabiting the politics of administration for replacement of migrants and the people who directly come due to those mandatory exchange regulations between Turks and Greeks communities are tried to be examined. Social and spatial conditions caused by forced migration are explained. A local and particular link is established between this social conditions and spatiality. Temporary and permanent accommodation methods are explored and examined for immigrants arriving due to the forced migration. The remaining structures serve as a helpful tool for the immigrants to reconstruct their identity and belonging that they have left behind. The relationship between the reproduction of space and culture is investigated and it is associated and analysed with remaining spatial traces. With the support of the previous academic studies, this research aims to determine these traces from past that remains into the present at the local level in three specific settlements. This modest investigation is supported and enhanced with the interviews with few remaining local witnesses.

    An Inquiry Into Nocturnal Space: Uncovering the Dark Side of the Historical Kemeraltı Bazaar
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Yeşildağ, Ömer; Akış, Tonguç
    This thesis, with its general content, considers night and darkness as determinative factors affecting the use of space and investigates the Historical Kemeraltı Bazaar, which is chosen as the thesis area, together with the user practices. For this research, the thesis examines night spaces, darkness and user practices in the context of social space. Firstly, the concept of night spaces and darkness were examined and the spatial aspect of the night was tried to be comprehended. Accordingly, darkness has a threatening and uncertain nature and it is associated with fear. That's why it is open to a number of transgressive and illegal acts. These are such as criminal acts, provocation, rape, political opposition, subcultural practices, urban abuse, posters and graffiti etc. Secondly, night spaces and darkness are controlled by the ruling powers or classes. Surveillance is used as a means of control in urban areas with a number of techniques and technologies. Finally, night as a time that supports social practices and creates a profitable space, appears as a place of consumption and leisure activities. In addition, the practices of the users in daily life (de Certeau, 1984) and the socially produced structure of the space (Lefebvre, 1991) were examined and correlated to the night spaces. In the light of these basic concerns, the night and darkness of the Historical Kemeraltı Bazaar, the practices and social spaces created by the actors who changed and reshaped it were examined. These actors are; vehicles, shops, customers-walkers, cleaning workers, waste material pickers, peddlers, security guards, street animals, graffiti and the atmosphere of bazaar itself. The relationships between the users and the space are reinforced with the concepts of Lefebvre's social space and de Certeau's tactic and strategy. In this direction, the nights and users of Kemeraltı Bazaar were evaluated and associated with the concept of night spaces.

    Urban Policies and Critical Analysis of Urban Transformation in Izmir: Yeşildere Case
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Ece Kaya, Birsu; Akış, Tonguç
    This academic study focuses the living space of the urban poor in İzmir through the Yeşildere region. Gecekondu areas in Turkey have emerged in 1950s with the immigration of people from rural to the city who migrate for reasons such as job, education and health care to meet the housing needs of people. These areas have become against to construction law, unplanned, without infrastructure together with serious environment and health problems. Yeşildere has become a gecekondu area in order to meet the housing needs of people who migrated to İzmir between 1960-1975 due to the establishment of industrial buildings and job opportunities. In time, having stuck in the city center, some interventions and works have been started under the name of so-called "urban transformation" because of the increased value of the land and the gecekondu residents were sent to other parts of the city or mass housing in the city's peripheries. Yeşildere, besides housing the aqueducts which still remain today from the Roman and Ottoman era, is being used as a gecekondu settlement due to the accelerating industrialization in the country. In recent years, demolitions have been carried out by the local government for certain reasons and new infrastructure works have been carried out in the region. In this context, the aim of the thesis is to evaluate and criticise the historical transformations of İzmir and Yeşildere, the physical and social characteristics of the urban poor's living space, the recent interventions by local government, the urban migrations and urban transformation practices. The thesis is constructing a critical analysis on Yeşildere and aiming to support the recent literature studies through the in-depth interviews with the people in the neighbourhood. For this reason, these semi-constructed interviews were conducted during the study with the individuals who is living and already lived in Yeşildere together with the literature study.
