Abstract:

 The changes and transformations that started in the traditional urban physics and architecture of Istanbul in the 18th century, with the reforms carried out in the 19th century, influenced the society, material texture and architecture, and led to the emergence of new spaces that cater to the needs of the society. A new socio-cultural environment emerged with the new public spaces that emerged in the city that directly affected the social life. These spaces, which were seen as open and closed public spaces in Ottoman society, allowed individuals living in the city to come together more often, and increased interaction and communication. Beşiktaş was perhaps one of the most important urban spaces of the Ottoman capital, Istanbul, where public spaces became widespread on the city scale and evolved from traditional to modern. The public spaces in the Beşiktaş district formed important social spaces where the society came together. Coffeehouses, which have an important place among closed public spaces as well as recreation areas and pier areas having an important place among open public spaces, played an important role in the development of social spaces in Beşiktaş district. After the coffeehouses, the developments especially in the art of theater allowed the emergence of different social spaces in Beşiktaş. In Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, the modernization and innovation movements in the social life in the 19th century were made permanent, and in Beşiktaş, a modern society that came together in different social spaces was created with a modern identity in which the buildings manifest themselves with architectural designs. In this article, the development of social spaces in Beşiktaş was evaluated in the historical process from the proclamation of the Tanzimat to the II. Constitutional Monarchy.

 İstanbulun geleneksel kent fiziği ve mimarisinde 18. yüzyılda başlayan değişim ve dönüşümler, 19. yüzyılda gerçekleştirilen reformlarla, toplumu, maddi dokuyu ve mimarlığı da etkisi altına alarak, toplumun ihtiyâçlarına hitap eden yeni mekânların ortaya çıkmasını sağlamıştır. Kentte ortaya çıkan toplum hayatını doğrudan etkileyen yeni kamusal alanlarla birlikte yeni bir sosyo-kültürel çevre oluşmuştur. Osmanlı toplumunda açık ve kapalı kamusal alanlar olarak görülen bu mekânlar, kentte yaşayan bireylerin daha sık bir araya gelmesine olanak tanımış, etkileşimi ve iletişimi arttırmıştır. Beşiktaşta, Osmanlı başkenti İstanbulun, kamusal alanların kent ölçeğinde yaygınlaştığı ve gelenekselden moderne evrilen belki de en önemli kentsel mekânlarından biridir. Beşiktaş semtinde yer alan kamusal alanlar, toplumun bir araya geldiği önemli sosyal mekânları oluşturmuştur. Açık kamusal alanlar arasında bulunan mesire yerleri ve iskele alanları ile birlikte kapalı kamusal alanlar arasında önemli bir yere sahip kahvehâneler, Beşiktaş semtinde sosyal mekânların gelişiminde önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Kahvehânelerden sonra özellikle tiyatro sanatında yaşanan gelişmeler, Beşiktaşta farklı sosyal mekânların da doğmasına olanak tanımıştır. Osmanlı Devletinin başkenti İstanbulda 19. yüzyılda toplum yaşamında gerçekleştirilen modernleşme ve yenileşme hareketleri kalıcı hale getirilmiş, Beşiktaş özelinde de yapıların mimari tasarımlarla kendini gösterdiği modern bir kimlik ile birlikte farklı sosyal mekânlarda bir araya gelen modern bir toplum yaratılmıştır. Bu makalede, Tanzimatın ilânından II. Meşrutiyete kadar uzanan tarihsel süreç içerisinde Beşiktaştaki sosyal mekânların gelişimi değerlendirilmiştir.
