ÖzAtatürk Orman Çiftliği'nin kuruluş tarihini ve sosyo-mekansal değerlerini, uzmanlık alanlarının örtüşen sınırları içinde ele alan azımsanamaz sayıda araştırma bulunmaktadır. Başta Mustafa Kemal Atatürk'ün değerli anısı ve fikir mirası olmak üzere, Cumhuriyet Devrimi'nin toplumsal, kültürel ve mekansal hedefleri, kendi kendine yeten çağdaş bir toplum olabilmenin esas ve usulleri, başkent Ankara'nın imar edilme öyküsü gibi anlam katmanlarıyla ilişkilenen Atatürk Orman Çiftliği; aynı zamanda alanın sınırlarını aşan somut kültür varlıklarını ve doğal sistemleri de barındırmaktadır. Ne var ki, Atatürk Orman Çiftliği'nin somut ve somut olmayan değerlerini tanımlayan ve ilintilendiren kapsamlı bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Araştırma, evrenselleşmesi belirgin biçimde gecikmiş olan Atatürk Orman Çiftliğinin somut ve somut olmayan değerlerine ve gelecek nesillere emanet edilmiş fikir mirasına odaklanan uzmanlıklar arası koruma senaryolarına altlık oluşturmayı hedeflemektedir.

This article offers a critical reading of the changing landscapes of Ankara, exposing the still existing potential for framing integrative urban strategy-making. Ankara has undergone intense urban expansion since the 1950s, and like other cities, it is still dealing with large scale construction/destruction engendering dramatic landscape loss in various contexts and scales. Although change in the landscape is typical of urbanization, nature and landscape were largely undervalued in the implementation of urban development strategies in Ankara. Contradicting per capita green space policies, the well-structured urban landscape, including both natural and planned/designed landscapes from the Republican Period were fragmented and reduced. Valleys creating corridors for fresh air and offering a reserve for agriculture were engulfed by squatter houses, then by new housing projects; streams, defining a blue infrastructure accompanied by fertile lands were partially covered over or canalized. Furthermore, the landscape heritage of the early Republican Period, which played a key role in the modernization of societal and urban life, was also undervalued, while the urban park system has been diminished. This article identifies representative examples of fragmentation and loss of the landscape fabric, as well as the latent potential of the landscape to articulate a sustainability agenda for Ankara
