Tarihi Yarımada'nın Görünmeyenlerini Görmek: Aetius Sarnıcı'na Arendtçi BakışSeeing the Invisibles of the Historical Peninsula: Arendtian View of the Cistern of Aetius Öz Bizans döneminde, kentin tepe noktalarına yerleştirilen açık su sarnıçları tarihten bu yana değişen işlevleriyle günümüze kadar gelebilmişlerdir. Uzun bir tarihsel ve işlevsel yolculuğu hafızasında barındırmakta olan çukurlar günümüz İstanbul'unda görünür değildir. Bu hipoteze 20. yüzyıl siyaset bilimci ve felsefeci Hannah Arendt'in kamusal alanda görünebilirlik söylemlerinin kentsel mekânda bulduğu karşılıklara bakılarak ulaşılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Tarihi Yarımada'da bulunan ve köklü tarihiyle kentsel mekânda görünebilir olması beklenen çukurbostanların görünebilirliğinin önüne geçen nedenleri araştırmaktır.Çalışma kapsamında Mese (Divanyolu) üzerinde yer alması ve Theodosius Surları'na yakınlığı nedeniyle Karagümrük'teki Aetius Sarnıcı (Karagümrük Çukurbostanı) şimdiki Vefa Stadyumu örnek alan seçilerek sarnıcın görünebilirliği, tarihî ve sosyal bağlamları tartışılarak alt ve üst ölçek ilişkileri üzerinden incelenmiştir. Aetius Sarnıcı'nın bugün kamusal alan olamayışı, stadyum kullanımının sarnıcın duvarlarının üzerini örtmesi ve 1600 yıllık değerinin göz ardı edilmesi gibi bulguların tespit edilip sarnıcın görünebilirliliğinin sağlanabilmesi durumunda, Tarihi Yarımada gezi rotalarına yeni bir varış noktası eklenerek anlamlı bir bütün oluşturulacağına inanılmaktadır.

“…According to James Mensch, a public space is a space where individuals see and are seen by others as they engage in public affairs. It refers to an area or a place that is open and accessible to all citizens where most events are spontaneous rather than pre-planned [8]. Furthermore, a public space is a place that has been reserved for the purpose of formal and informal sport and recreational activities [9], specifically designated for diverse active and passive recreation activities [10].…”

Revierparks as an integrated green network in Germany: An option for Amman?

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Amman city has gone through differentiated patterns and trends of sprawl in the last few decades. It went through disorganized developments due to reasons that vary from political, geopolitical, socio-economic and others. A threat that is existent in this perspective is the sprawl of cities and urban structures and the merging of them with no respect for the cultural and social needs of the community. Development of the city of Amman should take the shape of integrated planning that contributes to sustainable development. Taking into consideration the geographic layout of Amman and the tendencies of sprawl to overrun the green areas, the focus of the paper is directed towards the fringes of Amman and the seemingly available spaces of potential. A strategic approach for an open spaces network that allows for dynamic lifestyles in Amman is suggested. It should encompass a variety of safe and attractive spaces that are well distributed throughout neighbourhoods and accessible to the communities. Success factors of the Revierparks in the Ruhr area of Germany are researched in order to highlight potential strategic thinking in dealing with problems in Amman. Accordingly, defined magnets and anchor nodes in Amman are specified make the city more readable and accessible.

“…The discussion concerning Western public spaces reveals that issues of order and control are relevant to the performance of public spaces there as well (De Roo, ; Sampson & Raudenbush, ). As a result, and although public places are theorised as accessible to all, providing equal rights for their use as a shared public good (Canter, ; Relph, ), in fact, they are often created and supervised by the most powerful agents of society (Ardena, ; Bondar, ; Mensch, ; Nemeth, ; Wirth, ). Mitchell () describes the variety of limitations on free access to public spaces in today's economic capitalist reality; and Carmona (, ) elaborately classifies in his two‐part paper the various types of public space being debated in contemporary critiques, mainly by an “over‐managed” or “under‐managed” discourse.…”

When contradicting public space regimes collide: The case of Palestinian Israeli towns

The logic, meaning, and functioning of public spaces differ substantially between cultures and places. While Western public spaces are affected by democratic urban regimes and enhanced commercialisation, public spaces in traditional Muslim, Middle Eastern cities that were originally supervised by the community according to cultural norms are not easily adapted to contemporary changes. This paper thus analyses the unique case of Palestinian Israeli towns, reflecting the coexistence of these two sets of ruling public spaces, also affected by global economic changes and national political complexities. These towns consist of two different built environments: old neighbourhoods based on hierarchic, socially affiliated public spaces and new neighbourhoods created by the Israeli modern planning system, strictly dividing public spaces from private ones. The analysis provides a comparative framework discussing how this emerging urban condition affects the performance of public spaces. In addition, it enables a new perspective on Palestinian society, torn between tradition and Westernisation.
