Spatial Representations of Ideology and politics in Urban Scene: Keçiören Example

Osmanlı Dönemini takiben kurulmuş olan Türkiye Cumhuriyetinin başkenti olan Ankaraya bu bağlamda önemli sembolik anlamlaryüklenmiştir. Modern Türk Cumhuriyetinin temsili olan Ankara kenti, modern ve laik bir devlet olarak küresel tabloda yer edinmeyiamaçlamıştır. Diğer şehirlerden farklı olarak, siyasi alanın merkezinde olması sebebiyle, siyasi alanda olan dönüşümleri mekânüzerinden okumak mümkündür. Bu bağlamda, Ankaranın en büyük ve nüfusu en fazla olan ilçelerinden Keçiören 1994 yılı sonrasısiyasi sahada olan dönüşümler sonucunda tamamen değişmiştir.Bu çalışmanın amacı, Ankaranın Keçiören ilçesinde 1994 yılı sonrası başlayan ve hâlâ devam eden dönüşümü incelemektir. AK Partimimarisinin üzerinde durularak bu dönüşümün etrafında sosyal, politik, kültürel ve ekonomik sahalarda meydana gelen değişimlerincelenecektir. Bu çalışma ile amaçlanan, geçmişi sadece fiziksel olarak değil, bunlar ile iç içe geçmiş sosyal ve siyasi olarak dabenimsemiş yeni bir mimari oluşumun incelemesini Pierre Bourdieunun sosyolojik kavramları ile yapmaktır.
