Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Turkey, since the middle of the 1940s, gecekondu (squatter) settlements have emerged in an urban context characterised by rapid rural-to-urban migration, inefficient administrative structures and intense land speculation. Today, some practices of the early gecekondu are still in use, while its dwellers have introduced new strategies to avoid demolition, get access to infrastructure and achieve legalisation. Recent gecekondu builders by-pass planning authorities by adopting tools of formal planning. At the same time local authorities bend their own rules and tend to tolerate informalities.

Book Synopsis Social Spatialization in a Turkish Squatter Settlement by : Neslihan Demirtaş
Download or read book Social Spatialization in a Turkish Squatter Settlement written by Neslihan Demirtaş and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to expose an alternative local historical reading of the formation of a gecekondu space, a settlement of irregularly self-constructed habitats built by former peasants randomly over night. The social construction of the neighborhood space is narrated by means of insider perspectives and using qualitative techniques. In this reading, it will be made explicit that the dynamics of strategic interventions in local space, and tactical acts of the migrants in producing their locality are intertwined processes. The ethnic identities through sectarian and hometown affiliations have constituted the main means by which the migrants have developed certain tactics in dealing with the strategical acts on the vertical level (relations with the actors of urban planning and local politics) and other tactical acts on the horizontal level (relations with other sectarian and hometown groups in the locality).
Book Synopsis Urban Poverty in Turkey by : Burcu Sentürk
Download or read book Urban Poverty in Turkey written by Burcu Sentürk and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gecekondu settlements-or shanty towns-in large Turkish cities are mostly populated by low-income families, many of which have migrated from the villages of Central Anatolia. The rise of the Islamist party AKP in the 1990s and 2000s had a large impact on how these gecekondus are examined, and how they are perceived to reflect key issues at play in Turkish society: welfare, local identity, religious communities and the rise of civil society. Having lived in one of these neighbourhoods in Ankara, Burcu ?enturk's book sheds light on the experience of gecekondu dwelling in Turkey. By focusing on this aspect, she brings to the fore issues such as urbanisation, modernisation and development, as well as examining the impact these kinds of phenomena have on generation gaps and the role of women in Turkish society. By using the framework of the experience of three generations of gecekondu dwellers, ?enturk is able to chart the emergence, development and the gradual breakdown of social relations, and how the dynamics of these have changed during the course of the latter half of the twentieth century."

Book Synopsis A la Turka Neoliberalism by : Evren Tok
Download or read book A la Turka Neoliberalism written by Evren Tok and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gecekondu phenomenon could be understood as an expression of a double movement process, understood in Polanyian terms. I argue that gecekondus of the pre-1980 period do stand for the counter movement of the society, as a response to the economic policies of the state, formulated around the import substituting industrialisation strategy. The occupation of public land and construction of illegal housing units by the immigrants has served to protect the livelihood of the society and maintaining its social cohesion. The gecekondu areas, during the period of 1960-1980, grew into the communal space where the social cohesion has been built, among the immigrants who formed the gecekondu settlements around their ethnic and geographical origin, gaining the nature of "communal spaces". in this study, it is shown that the state's response to this phenomenon, especially during the post- 1980 period, has been to regulate the landuse of gecekondu areas, submerging this regulation process into the rising neo-liberal accumulation strategy, and the hegemonic project based on neo- liberal populism, turning the gecekondu land into "new state spaces."
Book Synopsis Urban Informalities by : Michael Waibel
Download or read book Urban Informalities written by Michael Waibel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together an interdisciplinary and international group of researchers working on a wide variety of cities throughout Asia, Latin America and Europe, this book addresses, rethinks and, in some cases, abandons the notions of formal and informal urbanism. This collection critically interrogates both the ways in which 'informal' and 'formal' are put to work in the governing and politicisation of cities, and their conceptual strengths and weaknesses. It does so by focusing on a wide variety of topics, from specific forms of housing and labour often traditionally linked to the formal/informal divide, to urban political negotiations, cultural practices, and ways of being in the city. The book takes stock of and reflects on how contemporary urban informality/formality relations are being produced and are/might be understood, and puts forward an enlarged and comprehensive understanding of urban informality.

Book Synopsis Healing Secular Life by : Christopher Dole
Download or read book Healing Secular Life written by Christopher Dole and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contemporary Turkey—a democratic, secular, and predominantly Muslim nation—the religious healer is a controversial figure. Attracting widespread condemnation, religious healers are derided as exploiters of the sick and vulnerable, discredited forms of Islamic and medical authority, and superstitious relics of a pre-modern era. Yet all sorts of people, and not just the desperately ill, continue to seek them out. After years of research with healers and their patients in working-class neighborhoods of urban Turkey, anthropologist Christopher Dole concludes that the religious healer should be regarded not as an exception to Turkey's secular modern development but as one of its defining figures. Healing Secular Life demonstrates that religious healing and secularism in fact have a set of common stakes in the ordering of lives and the remaking of worlds. Linking the history of medical reforms and scientific literacy campaigns to contemporary efforts of Qur'anic healers to treat people afflicted by spirits and living saints through whom deceased political leaders speak, Healing Secular Life approaches stories of healing and being healed as settings for examining the everyday social intimacies of secular political rule. This ethnography of loss, care, and politics reveals not only that the authority of the religious healer is deeply embedded within the history of secular modern reform in Turkey but also that personal narratives of suffering and affliction are inseparable from the story of a nation seeking to recover from the violence of its own secular past.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Law by : Anver M. Emon
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Law written by Anver M. Emon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 1027 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a comprehensive survey of the contemporary study of Islamic law and a critical analysis of its deficiencies. Written by outstanding senior and emerging scholars in their fields, it offers an innovative historiographical examination of the field of Islamic law and an ideal introduction to key personalities and concepts. While capturing the state of contemporary Islamic legal studies by chronicling how far the field has come, the Handbook also explains why certain debates recur and indicates fundamental gaps in our knowledge. Each chapter presents bold new avenues for research and will help readers appreciate the contested nature of key concepts and topics in Islamic law. This Handbook will be a major reference work for scholars and students of Islam and Islamic law for years to come.
Book Synopsis Beyond the Resources of Poverty by : Sebnem Eroglu
Download or read book Beyond the Resources of Poverty written by Sebnem Eroglu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking volume researches the lives of gecekondu settlers in the capital city of Turkey in order to understand how households cope with poverty and why some households are more successful than others in reducing their deprivation. It takes a critical stance towards existing conceptions such as household survival, livelihood and coping strategy and develops an alternative model based on four types of household response to poverty: income generation, income allocation, consumption and investment. In explaining household responses and their outcomes for poverty, the book demonstrates the role of different resources beyond income including social, economic and cultural capital. It emphasises broader structural factors such as labour market processes and state policies which influence the availability and/or benefit delivery capacity of household resources, and thereby moves beyond the dominant view which overemphasises the resilience of the poor. Gender divisions within the household are also examined. The book adopts an innovative method for measuring poverty. The new method combines 'objective' and subjective dimensions of deprivation to develop a unique way of addressing two central questions: what are those standards of living whose absence indicates deprivation, and how can the value of each standard of living be determined?
Book Synopsis Re-Coding Homes Through Flexible Interiors: Emerging Research and Opportunities by : Saglar Onay, Nilüfer
Download or read book Re-Coding Homes Through Flexible Interiors: Emerging Research and Opportunities written by Saglar Onay, Nilüfer and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities are not only places that house buildings; they are also spaces where cultural and social relations are built and developed. These properties must be taken into consideration when constructing and renovating new housing. Different methodologies can be used in order to create new flexible solutions for mass housing units’ interior spaces with the aim of improving their adaptability by using a user-centered approach. Re-Coding Homes Through Flexible Interiors: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an optimal resource that investigates how interior design models can transform existing spaces into more flexible and functional housing units while also increasing the functional value and spatial quality of living spaces in social housing. The book specifically discusses how genetic algorithms, a generative design approach, are used to solve nonlinear design problems. It also provides results that can be referenced based on actual domain data, which can be used as references to other architectural and interior design approaches. Featuring research on topics such as housing design and mass housing, this book is ideally designed for architects, engineers, interior designers, furniture designers, construction companies, architecture firms, practitioners, academicians, students, and researchers.
