Squatter (gecekondu) housing versus apartment housing - Turkish rural-to-urban migrant residents perspectives

Cataloged from PDF version of article.This paper investigates the meaning of squatter (gecekondu) and apartment housing for rural-to-urban migrant residents and their perceptions and preferences regarding this issue in the context of Turkey. The research, conducted in Ankara in a gecekondu settlement, a newly developing apartment district and an established apartment district, reveals that gecekondu and apartment housing hold different meanings for their different types of residents. Gecekondu housing is perceived very positively by those rural migrants who are oriented to the rural community, particularly for the ‘gecekondu-rooted’ women who spend much of their time in the neighbourhood. This is so because of the way of life gecekondu housing provides, for example, close relationship, with neighbours and spontaneous relationships with the outside. On the other hand, the association of gecekondu settlements with rural migrants in the larger society creates a very negative perception of gecekondu housing in the case of those rural migrants who are oriented to established urban society, particularly for young women (‘younger modernizers’). Low standard of housing, and inadequate services and infrastructure are major problems with squatter housing shared by all residents. On the other hand, apartment housing is perceived by its rural migrant residents as a means of becoming closer to established urban society, and hence as a means of granting them higher status. Unlike the case of gecekondus, this perception of apartments creates a general feeling of satisfaction and a higher degree of commitment among apartment residents, shaping their preferences for apartments. Apartments are further perceived as housing environments which offer ‘clean and comfortable lives’ and urban services to their residents. However, apartment residence is not preferred by those migrants, particularly women, who are oriented to rural community and who need community support and ‘squatter spirit’ in their lives. Gender, time spent in the city, socio-economic status and age were found to be associated with gecekondulapartment preferences of migrants. Copyright 0 1997 Elsevier Science Lt

The meaning of city living for rural migrant women and their role in migration: the case of Turkey

Cataloged from PDF version of article.This article explores the meaning of city living for Turkish women and the role women play both in the migration process and in establishing their lives in the city. It brings out the voices of women and lets them speak about their own experiences. It challenges the stereotypical images of Islamic migrant women who are depicted as passive followers of their husbands to the city and as subordinate or passive in the city. It uncovers the importance of religious sects (i.e., Alevi and Sunnite) in determining the relative power of Muslim women. It demonstrates the initiative and hard work of migrant women, and hence evidences their struggles, which bring some positive changes to their lives in the city. © 1997 Elsevier Science Lt

The Other of the Other and Unregulated Territories in the Urban Periphery: Gecekondu Violence in the 2000s With a Focus on the Esenler Case, Istanbul

Cataloged from PDF version of article.This article investigates the broader question of collective urban violence in "peripheral" (squatter) neighborhoods in the capitalist semi-periphery. Based upon a specific case, namely, the Karabayr neighborhood in Esenler, Istanbul, it aims to identify the potential sources of conflict and the conditions under which they turn into violence. To achieve this goal, first a review of the changing relationship of peripheral neighborhoods with the state is offered in a historical perspective. Then, the Karabayr neighborhood and the recent violence it experienced are briefly described, based on the information that appeared in the press and the Internet. And this is followed by a discussion of the possible causes of conflict and violence in the context of the changing conditions in the urban periphery in the 2000s. The transformation of peripheral land into commodity, the increasing physical proximity of residential groups due to land scarcity and building density, the asymmetric position of different residential groups with the state, and the unguarded socialization of the youth explain the increasing tendency towards violence in the urban periphery. In this process, the urban periphery emerges as "unregulated territories" that inhabit the "Other of the Other". © 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Konfigurasi Aktor dan Instisusi Politik dalam Penetapan Bakal Calon Kepala Daerah pada Pilkada Kota Pekanbaru Tahun 2017

Pemilihan Kepala Daerah di samping merupakan prosedur dan mekanisme pendelegasian kedaulatan rakyat kepada penyelenggara Negara, juga yang terpenting merupakan prosedur dan mekanisme Perubahan politik secara tertib dan periodik, baik Perubahan sirkulasi elit, maupun arah dan pola kebijakan politik. Tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa Partai Politik masih menjadi media yang paling dominan dalam Pilkada bahkan dalam kasus di Provinsi Riau belum ada satupun ruang politik dari jalur independen yang berhasil memenangkan kontestasi politik Pilkada di Riau. Dominannya partai politik itu menjadikan partai hegemoni dalam menetapkan kandidat termasuk Partai Amanat Nasional pada Pilkada Kota Pekanbaru 2017. Kajian ini secara spesifik melihat konfigurasi aktor dan peran institusi partai politik dalam penetapan bakal calon kepala daerah sebagai bagian dari mekanisme pendelegasian kedaulatan rakyat kepada penyelenggara negara tersebut. Studi aktor dalam demokrasi lokal dan interaksi aktor dalam ranah politik menjadi konsep pokok yang dikedepankan dalam analisis kajian ini. Selanjutnya, kajian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif dengan penekanan pada interpretasi terhadap fenomena yang dimaksud yaitu konfigurasi aktor dan peran institusi partai politik dalam penetapan bakal calon kepala daerah. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa konfigurasi aktor dalam penetapan calon Kepala Daerah dari PAN tergambar bahwa aktor daerah (lokal) tidak memiliki pengaruh yang cukup signifikan karena pada akhirnya penetapan calon menjadi domain DPP PAN. Asumsi ini diperkuat dengan diberikannya status kader kepada Irvan Herman yang jelas-jelas belum mengikuti kaderisasi (LKAD) pada Partai Amanat Nasional. Situasi kelembagaan yang timbul akibat penetapan calon Kepala Daerah oleh DPP PAN yakni lemahnya peran DPD atau struktur partai di tingkat lokal dalam mengawal Pasangan Calon yang ditetapkan oleh DPP. Hal itu semakin menguatkan terjadinya politik transaksional dalam penetapan calon kepala daerah oleh Partai Amanat Nasional yang berdampak pada mundurnya demokratisasi di tubuh partai karena semua keputusan strategis partai ada di tangan DPP

Non-relativistic Lee Model on two Dimensional Riemannian Manifolds

This work is a continuation of our previous work (JMP, Vol. 48, 12, pp. 122103-1-122103-20, 2007), where we constructed the non-relativistic Lee model in three dimensional Riemannian manifolds. Here we renormalize the two dimensional version by using the same methods and the results are shortly given since the calculations are basically the same as in the three dimensional model. We also show that the ground state energy is bounded from below due to the upper bound of the heat kernel for compact and Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. In contrast to the construction of the model and the proof of the lower bound of the ground state energy, the mean field approximation to the two dimensional model is not similar to the one in three dimensions and it requires a deeper analysis, which is the main result of this paper.Comment: 18 pages, no figure

Money Earning Activities and Empowerment Experiences of Rural Migrant Women in the City: The Case of Turkey

Cataloged from PDF version of article.This article investigates empowerment in relation to money-earning activities in the context of rural-to-urban migrant women in poor families in Turkey. Acknowledging the exploitative character of employment accessible to migrant women, it asks whether working migrant women gain something in their families in return for their economic contributions. The article points to the traditional role of men as the heads of the family and family honor (namus) as the cultural basis which acts against the empowerment of migrant women in Turkish society. It attempts to understand empowerment as articulated by the women themselves based upon their lived experiences. While doing so, it examines women’s positions in the family with regard to their role in the intra-family decision making, their degree of control over their earned money, and male violence in the family. It further discusses whether or not the experiences of migrant women can be considered as empowerment, and in this way it aims to contribute to the theoretical development of the concept ‘‘empowerment.’

Formalization by the State, Re-Informalization by the People: A Gecekondu Transformation Housing Estate as Site of Multiple Discrepancies

This article demonstrates residents' transformative practices and discusses attendant outcomes to contribute to an understanding of state-built housing estates for people affected by urban transformation projects. It draws upon ethnographic fieldwork conducted in a social housing estate (K-TOKI) in the Northern Ankara Entrance Urban Transformation Project (NAEUTP). It addresses questions on why formalization of informal housing takes place today, under what conditions it is countered by re-informalization practices, and what the outcomes of this process are. As informal housing became formalized by NAEUTP, gecekondu dwellers were forced into formalized spaces and lives within K-TOKI, which was based on a middle-class lifestyle in its design and its legally required central management. Informality re-emerged in K-TOKI when the state's housing institution, in response to the estate's poor marketability, moved out, allowing residents to reappropriate spaces to meet their needs and form their own management system. When cultural norms that are inscribed in the built environment and financial norms that treat residents as clients conflict with everyday practices and financial capabilities, the urban poor increasingly engage in acts of informality. I argue that the outcome of this informality in a formal context is a site of multiple discrepancies. © 2016 Urban Research Publications Limite

The politics of squatter(gecekondu) studies in Turkey: The changing representations of rural migrants in the academic discourse

This article aims to develop a critical approach to squatter (gecekondu) studies in Turkey and investigates the various representations of the gecekondu people in these studies in different periods by placing them in their social, political and economic contexts. It details changes in the representation of the gecekondu population from the 'rural Other' in the 1950s and 1960s, to the 'disadvantaged Other' in the 1970s and early 1980s, to the 'urban poor Other(s), the 'undeserving rich Other(s)' and the 'culturally inferior Other(s) as Sub-culture' between the mid 1980s and mid 1990s, and finally to the 'threatening/varoslu Other' in the late 1990s. It asserts that, while the approach to the gecekondu people varies from an élitist one, to one which is sympathetic to the gecekondu people, this group, nevertheless, has been consistently the 'inferior Other' for Turkish gecekondu researchers
