“…Nitekim Dikmen Vadisi kentsel dönüşüm süreci 1989 yılında başlatılmışken Altındağ kentsel dönüşüm süreci 2000'li yılların başında hayata geçirilmiştir (Dündar, 2001;Günay, 2009). Altındağ Belediyesi ile TOKİ tarafından etaplar halinde aşamalandırılan Atilla-Aktaş ile Gültepe (Çinçin) mahalleleri dönüşüm projeleri 2008 yılında sonuçlandırılmış ve 800'e yakın konut inşa edilmiştir; ayrıca Doğantepe, Bentderesi, Gökçenefe, Şükriye ve Başpınar mahalleleri dönüşüm projeleri de tamamlanmıştır (Açıkgöz, 2014;Güzey, 2009;Uzun ve Simsek, 2015). Dönüşüm süreci ve sonrasında bölgede yürütülen araştırmalar, Altındağ belediyesi ile TOKİ tarafından yürütülen kentsel dönüşüm projelerinin Altındağ'ın sadece kentsel-estetik görünümünü hedef alırken dönüşümün yarattığı sosyo-ekonomik ve kültürel etkileri göz ardı ettiğini vurgulamıştır (Erman, 2011(Erman, , 2012Hatiboğlu Eren, 2014).…”

The literature of Turkish social sciences sets up the relationship between space and criminality in a quite sociologically pozitivist manner, relying on causality and reductionism. This article thus aims to deconstruct this relationship by a multidimensional perspective including socioeconomic and cultural ones but also without excluding the role of psychosocial processes. By the case of Ankara's district Altındağ, this paper suggests Loïc Wacquant's dispositional theory of action and sociology of advanced marginality in order to understand the formative conditions of criminal agency. With the impact of neoliberal global capitalism, while desocialised wage labour, functional disconnection from macroeconomic trends, territorial stigmatisation, spatial alienation, loss of hinterland and socio-symbolic fragmentation have all aggravated poverty and deprivation in the Altındağ slums, they have also driven informal and criminal sectors as a single alternative for the deprived population. In these conditions, the subject's encounters with criminal social types is of significance in advanced marginalised slums/ghettoised neighbourhoods; the psychosocial interaction between the stigmatised neighbourhood's youths and criminals renders possible the acquisition of the criminal subculture's peculiar bodily and mental dispositions. In short, we should have multidimensional lenses to understand and explain criminal subjectivities intensified within slum areas.

“…In Turkey, on the other hand, urban transformation has only been initiated since the 2000s. It began with the renewal projects that included the transformation of various urban spaces into spaces for different uses [31]. The first transformation project planned in Trabzon Province was the Zağnos Valley project.…”

Cities are the most important residential spaces where comfortable living facilities and extensive employment opportunities are provided for inhabitants. Due to these characteristics, preference of urban spaces leads to immigration and urban sprawl. Today, urban transformation projects have become prominent in rehabilitation and restoration of these urban spaces. Urban transformation projects in Turkey were usually conducted in slum areas, historical quarters and quiescent urban spaces for conservation, improvement and development purposes since the 1950s. In the present study, the effects of the urban transformation project implemented in Zağnos Valley in Trabzon Province, Turkey, on landscape quality were determined with a survey study. Study findings demonstrate that the rate of green spaces increased after the transformation project by enhancing environmental quality and recreational opportunities. As a result, it was proved that the study area became more attractive than it was before, based on quantitative user preferences.

“…Land policy is known as the way of governance approach to land issues, its access, administration and use (Aydinoglu & Bovkir, 2017;Paulsson & Paasch, 2015;UN-ECE, 1996). An effective land administration system is an essential element to ensure the correct use of the land and the sustainable development concerning the social, legal, economic, environmental and technical framework (Uzun & Simsek, 2015;Kuyucu & Unsal, 2010;Uzun & Cete, 2018). One of the land administration system element is the cadastre.…”

The non-existence of a land ownership database in most of the developing countries moves the inhabitants to the occupation of public lands. Some of this situation are the origin to areas of informal housing, commerce and agriculture and in the end into new informal settlements. Informal settlements become a serious problem in developing countries. The most common typology of informal settlements is that they are the population settled in public lands without any infrastructures and against the administrator's will. Thought this action the result in an uncontrolled land occupation process that promotes new informal areas without any proper built-up utilities, located in risk areas on the territory, barely ensuring the minimum requirements for a heaty living of the population and in various cases incentives to an informal economy. The process of build a cadastral map in informal settlement areas is a fundamental base to support the future transformation of illegal areas and to regulate the occupation of new subdivision planning and into the creation of new expansion areas. In this paper, it is presented a methodology developed to be applied to support a new register of land and to management. The transformation of informal settlement areas. The model to register the land tenure has been associated with allows the process application to multiple typology of informal settlements. The model to register land tenure has developed on a series of qualitative and quantitative data that determine the identification and classification of the buildings and its physical and functional description. The model was developed using Geographic Information
