“…Unable to find easy land on which to reproduce the same process of peripheral urbanization, they became renters in the two-and three-story buildings owned by the earlier generation of migrants. This brought about a significant antagonism between the two groups, changing the social dynamics in gecekondu neighborhoods (Balaban, 2011;Keyder, 2005).…”

Many cities around the world have been largely constructed by their residents, who build not only their own houses, but also frequently their neighborhoods. In this article, I use the notion of peripheral urbanization to analyze this way of producing cities that is quite pervasive in the global south. I argue that peripheral urbanization refers to modes of the production of space that (a) operate with a specific temporality and agency, (b) engage transversally with official logics, (c) generate new modes of politics, and (d) create highly unequal and heterogeneous cities. I also argue that peripheral urbanization not only produces heterogeneity within the city as it unfolds over time, but also varies considerably from one city to another. I build my arguments by juxtaposing dissimilar cases from a few cities in the global south. To focus on peripheral urbanization means simultaneously to de-center urban theory and to offer a bold characterization of modes of the production of space that are different from those that generated the cities of the North Atlantic.

“…Unlike the singlefamily "gecekondus" with garden which were built between the 50's and the 80's, today's "gecekondus" are unfi nished multi-storey buildings constructed with cheap materials without plastering or fl ashing. Public authorities contributed to the chaotic development of the city and to the emergence of the legal-illegal division by legalizing the "gecekondu" settlements because of the popular politic concerns and vote apprehension (Keyder, 2005).…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the factors that affect housing prices in Istanbul. A hedonic price model is employed in order to examine housing price determinants with respect to property characteristics, socio‐economic characteristics, neighbourhood quality characteristics, and locational factors. The results reveal that housing prices are affected by these factors: living area size, being in a low storey building, being in a secured site (with swimming pool and garage), and age of the building. In addition to these determinants, the length of time the inhabitants have lived in Istanbul, the average income of the household, neighbour satisfaction and earthquake risk of the area have effects on the residential prices in Istanbul. Further research is suggested by constructing a second model that includes neighbourhood dummy variables as a proxy for submarkets, and a multi‐level modelling framework will be employed in order to analyse the urban housing submarket system. Santrauka Šiame darbe siekiama išnagrinėti veiksnius, kurie daro įtaką būsto kainoms Stambule. Pa si tel kus hedoninį kainų modelį, tyrinėjami būsto kainas lemiantys veiksniai, atsižvelgiant į nekilnojamojo turto charakteristikas, socialinius-ekonominius veiksnius, apylinkių kokybės bruožus ir vietos veiksnius. Rezultatai rodo, kad būsto kainoms įtaką daro tokie veiksniai: gy ve namosios teritorijos dydis, pastato aukštingumas, buvimas sklype ir pastato amžius. Be šių veiksnių, būsto kainas Stambule veikia ir laikas gyventas mieste, vidutinės namų ūkio pajamos, patinkantys kaimynai bei žemės drebėjimų rizika toje terito ri jo je. Siūloma atlikti tolesnius tyrimus, suformuojant antrą fi ktyviuosius apylinkių kintamuosius apimantį modelį, kuris bus taikomas kaip subrinkų pakaitalas, o naudojant daugialypę modeliavimo struktūrą bus siekiama išanalizuoti miesto būsto subrinkos sistemą.

“…The foreign direct investment that started flowing to Turkey in the 2000s, due to the influence of globalization, has continued, and Istanbul has come into view as a regional centre. The importance of Istanbul in being the regional centre in the area covering the Balkans, the Middle East and the North Africa, has been rising around the world (Keyder, 2005). Due to internal and external factors, decentralization of industry has been realized in Istanbul and important progress has been seen in the sectors of trade, tourism, banking, law, insurance, communication, transportation, culture, and education.…”

<p>Turkey has a unique geographical location, and serves as a bridge between East and West, and between Asia and Europe. While it has been a source country for labour migration, especially to Western Europe in the 1960s and 1970s, it has become a destination country, particularly for those from neighbouring countries in the 1990s. Immigrants from more distant countries were also attracted. Due to the end of the Cold War (the dissolution of the Soviet Union), economic problems resulting from regime change in the Eastern Bloc countries, China’s emergence as an economic power affecting the world economy, along with globalization, political problems and civil wars in the Middle East and Africa, a proportion of the people living in these geographical regions migrated to Turkey to find jobs. The aim of the present study is to investigate the quantitative changes concerning foreigners with work permits in Turkey and to research their origins. The study also presents some figures on distribution by gender and country of origin. To achieve this aim and investigate the present state of Turkey, statistical data concerning labour migration have been used. It is conclude that Turkey being considered as a country mostly sending labour emigrants has turned into a country receiving labour immigrants, not only from neighbouring countries but also from distant countries thanks to its unique geographical location and economic diversity.</p>
