SPATIAL, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF FORCED DISPLACEMENT DUE TO DAM CONSTRUCTION: THE CASE OF HASANKEYF

To meet the growing power and irrigation needs in the world and Turkey, to prevent terrorism, and due to sovereignty concerns on water management, recently dams have been frequently built, and the locations of villages, towns or cities within the areas covered by the dams built or being built are changing. Spatial changes made for compulsory reasons reveal many socio-economic, cultural and environmental problems and related discussions. This study aims to address the social, spatial and environmental impacts of the people of Hasankeyf, who have been living in thousands of caves and historical artifacts for thousands of years, as a result of their forced migration to the New Hasankeyf campus due to the Ilısu Dam and hydroelectric power plant built as a result of a public policy. In this field study, an interview were realized with 214 family members selecting randomly among 734 families who moved to New Hasankeyf, and the findings were obtained via this study were interpreted by making descriptive and relational analyzes. From the data obtained; It was determined that the families who settled in New Hasankeyf were against the dam since the beginning of the project, they were not consulted for the dam construction and the new campus, they lost their income due to the damaging of tourism sector, the destruction of agricultural areas.
