Abstract:

 The Covid-19 pandemic process, which has spread on a global scale and has been declared a pandemic, has led to questioning and redefining the relationships between settlements and administrative structures of different scales all over the world. The research aims to examine whether the decisions of the Isparta Provincial Sanitation Board are the decisions specific to the situation of the city on the way to create urban resistance within the scope of combating the pandemic or whether they are the implementers of the decisions taken by the central government. The document analysis method was used in the research. For this purpose, evidence was created by comparing the daily case data of Isparta and Turkeys daily case data obtained from the website of the Ministry of Health between 11 March 2020 and 11 April 2021. In the related period with the evidence obtained, the decisions taken by the Isparta Provincial Sanitation Board and the central government decisions were compared under the five specified periods. As a result of the research, it was seen that the Isparta Provincial Sanitation Board took decisions to explain andor implement the decisions taken by the central government on many issues such as restrictions on the society, public spaces, and regulations for tradesmen. It was seen that Isparta Provincial Sanitation Board could not be effective and effective in creating urban resistance to prevent the increase in cases in the province. In addition, it has been observed that the conditions for adapting, responding and developing the citys capacity to the various dangers emphasized for the resilient city have not been realized.

 Kuresel ölçekte yayılan ve pandemi ilan edilen Covid-19 sureci tum dunyada farklı ölçeklerdeki yerleşimler ve yönetsel yapılar arasındaki ilişkileri sorgulamaya ve yeniden tanımlamaya sebep olmuştur. Araştırmanın amacı, Isparta İl Hıfzıssıhha Kurulu kararlarının pandemiyle mucadele kapsamında kentsel direnç oluşturma yolunda kentin durumuna özgu kararlar mı; yoksa merkezi yönetimin aldığı kararların uygulayıcısı konumunda mı olduğunun incelenmesidir. Araştırmada dokuman incelemesi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Amaca yönelik olarak, 11 Mart 2020-11 Nisan 2021 arası sureçte Ispartaya ait gunluk vaka verileri ile Sağlık Bakanlığı internet sitesinden elde edilen Turkiyenin gunluk vaka verileri karşılaştırılarak kanıtlar oluşturulmuştur. Elde edilen kanıtlar ışığında ilgili dönemde; Isparta İl Hıfzıssıhha Kurulu tarafından alınan kararlar ve merkezi yönetim kararları belirlenen beş dönem altında karşılaştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda Isparta İl Hıfzıssıhha Kurulunun topluma yönelik kısıtlamalar, halka açık kamusal alanlar, esnafa yönelik duzenlemeler gibi birçok konuda merkezi yönetimin aldığı kararları açıklamaya veveya uygulamaya yönelik kararlar aldığı görulmuştur. Isparta İl Hıfzıssıhha Kurulunun ildeki vaka artışını engellemek adına bir kentsel direnç oluşturma yolunda etkin ve etkili olamadığı görulmuştur. Bunun yanında dirençli kent için vurgulanan çeşitli tehlikeler karşısında uyum sağlama, yanıt verme ve kentin kapasitesini geliştirme şartlarının gerçekleşmediği görulmuştur.
