Geographical and Historical Research on Urban Development in Turkey

这项研究项目旨在分析土耳其城市自19世纪末以来的空间发展及其城市功能的变化。这个项目是在1987年的上一次广泛调查的基础上制定的，我们一直得到了前土耳其同行Pro.dr的衷心支持。安卡拉大学的Pulat Otkan、Rusen Keles教授和安卡拉市政府城市规划司的工作人员。我们进行了实地调查的城市如下：安卡拉、伊斯坦布尔、伊兹密尔、埃尔恩、巴利克西尔、加济安泰普。关于这些城市，我们得出了从奥斯曼帝国时代到现在的几个城市规划，并通过比较的方法，试图勾勒出这些城市的发展过程。对于安卡拉的城市功能，我们获得了一些基础的社会经济数据，这些数据对微观尺度上的城市空间结构有很大的启示作用。我们还研究了安卡拉的商业结构。

This study project aimed at analyzing spatial development of the Turkish cities and the changes in their urban function since the end of the 19th century. And this project was elaborated on the last extensive survey in 1987, and we continuously got heartful support from the former Turkish counterparts, Prof.Dr. Pulat Otkan (Ankara University), Prof. Dr.Rusen Keles and the staff members at the Urban Planning Division of the Ankara Metropolitan Government.The cities which we made field surveys are as follows; Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, Eirne, Balikesir, Gaziantep. Concerning these cities, we attained several urban plans from the Ottoman Era to the present time, and by means of compareing each other, we trying to draw the development process of the cities. For urban function of Ankara, we obtained some fundamental socioeconomic data which are very suggestive to the urban spatial structure in the micro-scale. We also studied the commercial structure of Ankara.
