Türkiye’de kentsel dönüþüm projeleri 2000’li yýllardan sonra aktif bir kentsel müdahale aracý olarak tercih edilmektedir. Gerek Türkiye gerekse de dünyada projelere dair yapýlan araþtýrmalar uygulamalarýn en yaygýn etkilerinden birinin ilk kullanýcýlarýn yerinden edilmesi olduðunu ortaya koymaktadýr. Fakat yerinden edilme süreçleri sonrasýna dair bilgi eksikliði literatürde kendisini hissettirmektedir. Bu çalýþma Gaziantep Yazýcýk Mahallesi kentsel dönüþüm projesinden hareket ederek yerinden edilme sonrasý hanehalklarýnýn izini sürmektedir. Çalýþmanýn temel amacý yerinden edilmiþ hanehalklarýnýn kent içi hareket kalýplarýnýn ve yeni yer seçim tercihindeki nedenselliklerin açýða çýkarýlmasýdýr. Çalýþmanýn amacýna ulaþmak için nicel ve nitel veri setleri beraber deðerlendirilmiþtir. Kentsel dönüþüm projesi gerçekleþtirilen Yazýcýk mahallesindeki yerinden edilmeyi tespit etmek amacýyla alanýn yeni kullanýcýlarýna anket uygulanmýþtýr. Proje sonrasýnda mahalleden gitmek zorunda kalan 14 hanehalkýyla yarý-yapýlandýrýlmýþ mülakatlar gerçekleþtirilerek yeni yer seçim tercihindeki nedensellikler açýða çýkarýlmýþtýr. Sonuçlar kentsel dönüþüm projesinin yerinden edilme süreçlerini doðurduðunu ortaya koymuþtur. Yerinden edilmiþ hanehalklarýnýn yeni yer seçim tercihinde ise ýsýnma tercihleri, konutlarýn fiziksel durumlarý, gelir düzeyi gibi farklý parametrelerin rol oynadýðý anlaþýlmýþtýr. Bu durum yerinden edilme sonrasý konut ve mahalle seçiminde yaþam þartlarýnýn iyileþtirilmesi içerisine girildiðini göstermektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Yeni mahalle seçimi, yerinden edilme; Gaziantep; kentsel dönüþüm; Türkiye.

In Turkey, urban regeneration is being utilized as a tool for actively manipulating cities, especially after the 2000s. Even though studies on both Turkey and the world reveal that one of the most common effects of such practices is the displacement of residents, follow-up studies on the impact of displacement on the lives of displaced residents lack in literature. This study pursues the residents of Yazýcýk Neighborhood of Gaziantep who were displaced due to an urban regeneration project. The main purposes of the study are to discover the patterns of movement of displaced residents within the city and to find out the factors contributing to the choice of new neighborhoods. Quantitative and qualitative data sets were co-evaluated to fulfil the goals of the study. A questionnaire was applied to the post-regeneration residents of the Yazýcýk area to determine the scale of the displacement. With this strategy, the percentage of residents who remained in Yazýcýk after the regeneration was estimated. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 households who were found to be displaced from the neighborhood after renewal, and the factors that shaped their preference for new neighborhoods were discovered. The outcomes of the study confirmed that the urban regeneration project indeed resulted in displacement. Moreover, various parameters such as the income level of the displaced household, heating infrastructure, and overall quality of housing in the area were found to play a role in the decision of the neighborhood. These results showed that improvement in the quality of life was a shared motive amongst displaced residents for the decision of new neighborhoods.

Keywords: Decision of new neighborhood, displacement; Gaziantep; urban regeneration; Turkey.
