Mekân Sahipliliği için Mekânı Çocuklarla Birlikte Üretmek: Eskişehir Odunpazarı için Bir Model Önerisi

Çevre psikolojisi alanında yapılan araştırmalar, insanın içinde yaşamakta olduğu kentsel çevreye bağlanmasında çocukluk çağının önemli yeri olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu bulgudan yola çıkarak bu çalışma, çocukluk döneminde kentsel mekânın üretilmesinde rol almış olan kişilerin, erişkin olduklarında bu mekânları koruyarak sürdürülebilirliğe katkıda bulunacaklarını varsaymaktadır. Bu bağlamda çocuklar, hem bugün sahip oldukları yetenekler, geliştirdikleri fikirler, gereksinim duydukları ihtiyaçlar ile bugünün önemli bir mekânsal ve toplumsal paydaşıdır, hem de bugünkü deneyimlerinden yola çıkarak oluşturacak ve geliştirecekleri kişilikleri ve yetenekleri ile geleceğin potansiyel aktif yurttaşıdır. Çocuğun zaman değişken olarak ele alınmasına vurguda bulunarak bu çalışma, erişkin oldukları zaman mekânı sahiplenebilmeleri için çocukların kentsel mekânın üretim aşamalarına bugünden nasıl katılabileceğine yönelik bir model önermektedir. Çalışmanın özgün katkısı, katılımcı sürecin, mekân üretiminin aşamalar şeklinde gruplanarak tasarlanmasıdır. Böylelikle, hem katılım kavramının genişletilmesi, hem de aşamaların gruplanması yöntemi ile çocukların belirli bir sorumluluğu veya bir aşama sonucu ortaya çıkan somut ürünleri sahiplenmeleri amaçlanmaktadır. Model, 5393 no’lu Belediye Yasası’nın 73.maddesine göre kentsel dönüşüm alanı ilan edilen Eskişehir Odunpazarı Küçük Sanayi Sitesi’ne yönelik geliştirilmiştir.

Co-Production of Space with Children to Ensure Space Appropriation: A Model Proposal for Eskişehir Odunpazarı

Researches conducted in the field of environmental psychology have revealed that childhood has a particular role in the attachment of people to their urban environment. Evolving out from this finding, this work assumes that people, who takes a role in the production of urban space during their childhood, will contribute to sustainability by keeping these spaces when they become an adult.  In this context, children are both a spatial and a communal stakeholder of today through their current abilities, ideas and needs, and a potential active citizen of the future through their personalities and abilities to develop and to improve by their childhood experiences. This work, by taking time as the variable in approaching children, proposes a model of participation for children to have a role in the production phases of urban space in order to make them appropriate the space when they become an adult. The design of the participative process by dividing the production of space into phases is the original contribution of the work. In this way, both enlarging the concept of participation, and by grouping the phases, making children appropriate a particular responsibility or the final products of a phase is aimed at. The model is developed for the Small Industrial Site in Eskişehir Odunpazarı, which is declared as an urban renewal area in the scope of article 73 of the Municipality Law number 5393.
