Abstract:

 The Democratic Party, which came to power at a sensitive period in Turkish political life, seems to have experienced political and social turmoil, foreign political developments and coup debates that will continue until today, during its ten-year period. Foreign policy, which is overshadowed by domestic policy, is the determinant of the agenda. In this, II. The establishment of a new world after World War II and the efforts to position Turkey against the developing power blocks have a role. Damages caused by natural disasters that cause loss of property and life in Ankaras city center and agricultural areas have been the main area of concern for state officials. The capitals frequent exposure to floods has negatively affected the lives of the people living here. Stream beds overflowing with excessive rainfall have destroyed the embankments, causing great damage to residential and agricultural areas. Politicians visited the disaster areas where the flood occurred and tried to share the suffering. The frequent changes made in the Zoning Law are the manifestation of electoral policies in the 1950s. The Democratic Party, which introduced partial and comprehensive slum amnesties mostly before local and general elections, has been weakened in its fight against rapid change and unplanned construction in cities. It has become a victim of the populist policies it implemented in the occurrence of natural disasters in big cities, especially Ankara and Istanbul. In this period, zoning practices and measures taken were mostly realized after natural disasters. Therefore, this study is worth examining flood disasters, which are Ankaras most important local problem.

 Türk Siyasi hayatının hassas bir döneminde iktidara gelen Demokrat Parti, on yıllık döneminde siyasal ve sosyal çalkantıların, dış politik gelişmelerin ve günümüze kadar sürecek darbe tartışmalarının bitmeyeceği gözükmektedir. İç politikanın gölgede kaldığı dış politikasının ise gündemin belirleyicisidir. Bunda, II. Dünya Savaşı sonrası yeni bir dünyanın tesis edilmesinin ve gelişen güç blokları karşısında Türkiyeyi konumlandırma çalışmalarının payı vardır. Ankaranın şehir merkezinde ve tarımsal alanlarında mal ve can kayıplarına yol açan doğal afet kaynaklı zararlar devlet yetkililerinin başlıca uğraş alanı olmuştur. Başkentin sel baskınlarına sıklıkla maruz kalması, burada yaşayan insanların hayatlarını olumsuz yönde etkilemiştir. Aşırı yağışlarla taşan dere yatakları setleri yıkarak, yerleşim ve tarım alanlarında büyük tahribatlara yol açmıştır. Sel felaketinin yaşandığı afet bölgelerine siyasiler tarafından ziyaretler yapılmış ve yaşanılan acılar paylaşılmaya çalışılmıştır. İmar Kanununda yapılan sık sık değişiklikler seçimlere yönelik politikaların tezahürüdür. Çoğunlukla yerel ve genel seçimler öncesi kısmi ve kapsamlı gecekondu aflarını getiren Demokrat Parti, şehirlerdeki hızlı değişim ve plansız yapılaşmaya karşı yürüttüğü mücadele zaafiyete uğramıştır. Başta Ankara ve İstanbul olmak üzere büyük şehirlerde doğal afetlerin yaşanmasında uyguladığı popülist politikaların kurbanı olmuştur. Bu dönemde imar uygulamaları ve alınan tedbirler daha çok doğal afetler yaşandıktan sonra gerçekleşmiştir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma, Ankaranın yereldeki en önemli sorunu olan sel felaketleri incelemeye değerdir.
