İkametgâh Memnuniyeti ve Şehir İçi İkametgâh Hareketliliği

Residential satisfaction has long been a major research topic in such disciplines as geography, sociology, psychology, and planning. The reason for this topic’s popularity is twofold. First, residential satisfaction is recognized as an important component of individuals’ general quality of life. Second, individuals’ subjective evaluations of their housing and neighborhood determine the way they respond to residential environment and form the basis of demands for public action. In behavioral conceptualization of migration, low levels of residential satisfaction is postulated to precede housing and mobility behavior. If individuals feel dissatisfied with their current housing or neighborhood, they may very well consider relocating and actually move to a different unit. Knowledge about the factors that shape residential satisfaction is therefore critical for a better understanding of household mobility decision process. Satisfaction with one’s residential situation indicates the absence of complaints and a high degree of congruence between actual and desired situations. On the other hand, incongruence between their actual housing or neighborhood and needed conditions may lead to dissatisfaction. In the literature on dissatisfaction approaches, the current residential environment interacts with the household to produce stress or dissatisfaction and when this dissatisfaction reaches some threshold the household then begins a search process that may lead to a residential move. This paper examines literature about residential satisfaction and residential mobility and presents a contextual framework for understanding the relations between residential mobility and residential satisfactio

TÜRKİYE’NİN İMALÂT İŞLEVİNDE UZMANLAŞMIŞ ŞEHİRSEL YERLEŞMELERİ

In this contribution, by the Nelson Method, the cities and towns of Turkey that their functional specialization area is manufacturing are determined. And then, the changes occurred in these type of urban places; levels of specializations in manufacturing, spatial distributions and population sizes of them are treated for a period of 20 years, by the help of statistical data from State Institute of Statistics which concerned to the years of 1980 and 2000. In the whole of Turkey, when half of the 92 urban settlements that specialized in manufacturing were leaving of this identity in 2000, new manufacturing cities arose in place of them, then the figure reached to 119. Realized changes not only as numerical but also as spatial are closely related with weak industrialization on the whole of Turkey as well as the levels of specializations of these cities are well below. The number of manufacturer cities and towns decreased both in Mediterranean and Southeastern Anatolian Regions that already had small numbers of locations of this type, unchanged in Eastern Anatolian Region, and being most in Marmara Region, increased in Aegean, Central Anatolian and Black Sea Regions. Marmara and Aegean regions that had 42% of the cities and towns specialized in manufacturing functions in 1980 have been the more centralized areas of industrialization by raising their proportion to 55% in 2000. Eighty percent of urban settlements that manufacturing is a dominant function or one of the dominant functions are below 50.000 populations. The group of 20.000-50.000 populations is notabl
