Abstract:

 This study examines the prominent factors in the construction of the urban identity of Gaziantep. For this purpose, in the study, firstly, what the concept of urban identity means and what factors are effective in the construction of urban identity are revealed. It is known that with the 1970s, American and European cities reconstructed their urban identities by incorporating the cultural elements of the cities. In the 2000s, with the effect of globalization, the process of incorporating cultural elements into the urban identity began for Turkish cities as well. While Gazianteps urban identity is expressed with concepts such as ghazi city and industrial city; in recent years, the urban identity has been reconstructed. Gaziantep city was included in UNESCOs Creative Cities Network in the field of gastronomy in 2015. With the effect of this development, the identity of the city has entered the process of reconstructing with gastronomy and food culture components. One of the primary aims of the study is to explain and analyze which components come to the fore in the construction of the urban identity that emerged especially with the protection of the cuisine in Gaziantep. In the article, the relationship between the identity of the gastronomy city and the concept of the culture industry and its effect on the image of the city are discussed. Another aim of the study is to analyze the effect of the urban governance on this identity construction and its entrepreneurial character. The concept of urban entrepreneurship was developed by David Harvey to reveal the change in the way cities are managed, especially after the 1970s. According to this, the aim of becoming a center of attraction by highlighting the attractive elements of the cities is the common goal of the entrepreneurial city governance. In Gaziantep, policies and projects are carried out with the aim of being an attractive center for tourists by using cuisine and food culture. This article explains the entrepreneurial character of the city governance and its role in the reconstruction of the urban identity with examples.

 Bu çalışma, Gaziantep kentinin kent kimliği inşasında öne çıkan faktörleri incelemektedir. Bu amaçla, çalışmada öncelikle kent kimliği kavramının ne anlama geldiği ve kent kimliği inşasında etkili faktörlerin neler olduğu ortaya konmuştur. 1970li yıllarla beraber Amerika ve Avrupa kentlerinin kültürel unsurlarını kentlerin kimliklerine dahil ederek kent kimliklerini yeniden inşa ettiği bilinmektedir. 2000li yıllara gelindiğinde küreselleşmenin de etkisiyle Türkiye kentleri için de kültürel unsurları kent kimliğine dahil etme süreci başlamıştır. Gaziantep kent kimliği gazi kent, sanayi kenti gibi kavramlarla ifade edilirken son yıllarda kent kimliğinin yeniden inşası söz konusu olmuştur. Gaziantep kenti 2015 yılında gastronomi alanında UNESCOnun Yaratıcı Şehirler Ağına dahil edilmiştir. Bu gelişmenin etkisiyle beraber kent kimliği gastronomi ve yemek kültürü bileşenleriyle yeniden inşa sürecine girmiştir. Gaziantepte özellikle mutfağın koruma altına alınmasıyla ortaya çıkan kent kimliği inşasında hangi bileşenlerin öne çıktığını açıklayarak çözümlemek, çalışmanın öncelikli amaçlarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada, gastronomi kenti kimliğinin kültür endüstrisi kavramıyla ilişkisi ve kentin imajına etkisi ele alınmaktadır. Kent yönetiminin bu kimlik inşasındaki etkisi ve girişimci niteliğini çözümlemek çalışmanın bir diğer amacıdır. Kent girişimciliği kavramı David Harvey tarafından özellikle 1970li yıllar sonrasında kentlerin yönetilme biçimlerindeki değişimi ortaya koymak için geliştirilmiştir. Buna göre kentlerin ilgi çekici unsurlarını öne çıkararak bir cazibe merkezi hâline gelme amacı girişimci kent yönetimlerinin ortak amacıdır. Çalışmaya konu olan Gaziantep kentinde mutfak ve yemek kültürü kullanılarak özellikle turistler için ilgi çekici bir merkez olabilme amacına yönelik politika ve projeler yürütülmektedir. Bu makale, kent yönetiminin girişimci niteliğini ve kent kimliğinin yeniden inşasında oynadığı rolü örneklerle açıklamaktadır.
