“…Stumpp (2013, p. 2) indicates that ''in the context of resilience [adaptation] now refers to sudden disturbances, to recovery and renewal and it tries to prepare for the un-projectable, the impossibleto-imagine.'' There are indications that Turkish cities have well adapted to the changes that have occurred in two decades of mall development, because street retailers and other agents survived these transformations, using various innovative resilience strategies Ozuduru et al, 2014). Thus, we believe that the system has exhibited a high level of flexibility and adaptation.…”

“…The city's south and southwest areas have a high number of shopping centres, and their trade area also covers almost all districts. Research shows that in Ankara, suburban residents visit shopping centres more frequently, whereas inner-city residents visit shopping streets more frequently (Ozuduru et al, 2014).…”

“…One of the three noted surveys was carried out in 13 shopping centres with 2970 patrons and tallied the purposes of visits to shopping malls and streets (Ozuduru et al, 2014; see Table 5). The research shows that customers' reasons for shopping change in relation to the area they shop in.…”

“…The social, economic and environmental impacts of large-scale retail outlets on existing retail and urban systems have been extensively discussed in the planning literature (Guy, 1998;Knox, 2008;Ozuduru, Varol, & Ercoskun, 2014;Southworth, 2005;Teller, 2008). Despite the relatively late influence of global economic trends in Turkey (beginning in the late 1990s), foreign investment penetrated the country's retail sector quite quickly.…”

“…Despite the relatively late influence of global economic trends in Turkey (beginning in the late 1990s), foreign investment penetrated the country's retail sector quite quickly. This development attracted the attention of scholars regarding various aspects of Turkish retailing, and the subject has generated a growing literature (see, for example, Erkip, Kizilgun, & Mugan Akinci, 2013;Erkip, Kizilgun, & Mugan Akinci, 2014;Erkip, 2003Erkip, , 2005Ozuduru & Varol, 2011;Ozuduru et al, 2014;Tokatli & Boyaci, 1998).

The social, economic and environmental impacts of large-scale retail outlets on existing retail and urban systems have been extensively discussed in the planning literature. This article documents the last two decades of transformation in Turkey's retail sector, which have been characterized by a more organized development of the sector than traditionally existed. We begin our analysis with the late 1980s and early 1990s, when more-liberal and outward-looking policies began to emerge in Turkish economic policy. Changes in the economy and related legislation prepared a base for the subsequent transformations of that decade, culminating, especially in large cities, in the development of shopping malls as alternative retail spaces to traditional markets and stores on a shopping street. We believe that the Turkish case reveals specific aspects of resistance, adaptation and change, and thus needs a detailed account. After providing a general picture of retailing and its transformation in Turkey, we provide empirical evidence from Ankara, the capital city, through which all important dynamics of retailing are exemplified. To this end, we ask the following questions: What are the evolving processes behind the existing location patterns of shopping centres in Ankara? What is the extent of the change in definition of the new public realm? How do street retailers survive? Who are the actors and what are their approaches towards retail planning in Turkey? The answers to these questions may provide implications for urban policy and retail planning in Turkey. The case may also be interesting for countries experiencing similar patterns of change and development, that is, where the globalization process in retailing and consumption-related sites began later than in other countries and observed fastpaced development. #
