Abstract:

 Recently, due to the accelerating urban population growth, the urban population rate has exceeded the rural population rate worldwide. Much of this increase is due to the Global South and East, with a significant portion of the population living in urban informal settlements. Therefore, urban transformation is inevitable for the rehabilitation of cities. However, squatting is a type of settlement that the states generally turn a blind eye to, and thus implicitly support for decades. The same states, this time, are trying to transform the same slums, which gained value especially in proportion to their proximity to growing cities.However, it should not be forgotten that in urban transformation, the balance between financialization of housing, dispossession and humane housing rights of slum settlers must be carefully and fairly. In this study, it has been tried to make determinations about the causes of the problem and to bring suggestions for solutions through some examples of slums and urban transformation from the world and Turkey in particular Ankara.

 Son yıllarda hızlanan kentsel nüfus artışına bağlı olarak dünya genelinde kentsel nüfus oranı kırsal nüfus oranını geçmiştir. Bu artışın çoğu, nüfusun önemli bir kısmının kentsel gayri resmi yerleşimlerde yaşadığı Küresel Güney ve Doğudan kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu nedenle kentlerin rehabilitasyonu için kentsel dönüşüm kaçınılmazdır. Ancak gecekondu, devletlerin genellikle görmezden geldiği ve bu nedenle onlarca yıldır zımnen desteklediği bir yerleşim türüdür. Aynı devletler, özellikle büyüyen şehirlere yakınlıkları oranında değer kazanan aynı gecekondu mahallelerini bu kez dönüştürmeye çalışmaktadır. Ancak unutulmamalıdır ki, kentsel dönüşümde konutun finansallaşması, mülksüzleştirme ve gecekondu sakinlerinin insani barınma hakları arasındaki denge dikkatli ve adil bir şekilde kurulmalıdır. Bu çalışmada Ankara özelinde dünyadan ve Türkiyeden bazı gecekondu ve kentsel dönüşüm örnekleri üzerinden sorunun nedenlerine yönelik tespitler yapılmaya ve çözüm önerileri getirilmeye çalışılmıştır.
