مرکز منطقه ای اطلاع رساني علوم و فناوري - A Comparative Sample of the Effects of Socio-Cultural Differences in the Use of Place: The “Kültür” and “Gülveren” Neighbourhoods

Abstract :

Culture expresses the whole material and moral values that societies have produced in their history. The types of people’s constituting and using places are also one of the items that reflection the culture. It is thought that the need for place and the variations in using places have differences among those communities having different socio-cultural structures and attitudes. For the purpose of this research, 2 neighborhoods that are (in a side by side position),were researched for the effects of socio-cultural differences in the use of sites, also in this respect, to overcome the lack of this research in the literature. In this study; the effect of socio-cultural differences in the usage of place in Antalya in terms of neighbourhoods, has been studied. Being loyal to the district of “Kepez”, “Kültür” and “Gülveren” neighbourhoods, where it was thought there are cultural differences, was the chosen field of research. Content analysis was made about the topic and the area of research, the neighbourhoods were compared, together with the information supplied through observations and from meetings. According to the finds obtained; it is seemed that; in the “neighbourhood of Kültür”, where there has been a better economic structure and cultural variety, together with density of university students, the types, numbers and usages of places are in a quite advanced structure, in comparison with the “neighbourhood of Gülveren”. As a result; it has been determined that the socio-cultural differences in the Kültür and Gülveren neighbourhoods of Antalya, result in important differences in the use of place.
