    ABSTRACT

    The urban public locations are the places where the various groups of city dwellerscan be together. These places have gone through a process parallel to thedevelopment of the cities. Shopping activity concentrated at open areas at thestage of the establishment of city .It has been partially transferred to the closedareas. Nowadays, shopping centers where the shopping activity is carried out havea special meaning in terms of public life.

    In this research the features of the shopping centers as urban public locations hasbeen evaluated. Ankara has been selected as the research area for this assessment.The shopping centers that have been established in the recent years plays a ratherdistinguishing role for determinies to the development of city. It is a compellingreason to consider the urban and public locational features of these places due tothe fact that these centers are a visiting place for almost all inhabitants.From thisrespect the research findings that will be discussed in the text seem to be soimportant. This research was realized under the Research Fund Project of GaziUniversity between the years 2000-2002.

    1. INTRODUCTION

    The city is the expression for the assembly of groupsthat differ from each other in terms of the familycomposition, population size and economic structure. Thisdiversity is a source of wealth.

    A dual structure can be observed in our cities as aresult of the intense migration to the cities that took place

    particularly after the 50s. This dual structure consists ofthe regions developed according a settlement plan and thepopulation living in this area and the regions established

    without any plan and the population living in this region.The controversial issue at the time being is the creation ofthe suitable conditions for these differing groups to livetogether. A favorable result of this controversial would bethe sign of the pluralism of the city.

    Ankara that has been chosen as the example for thisresearch has exhibited a different path of development inthe urbanization process as compared to the other cities.The space configuration of the city necessary ensure thecontact between the indigenous population and the people,of whom most came from Istanbul, following thedeclaration of the city as the capital of the new republichas been dealt with in a centralized manner. The activitiessupported by the official ideology and the locations ofthese activities squares, green areas, etc. have led to afast paced change of the city. The population structure haschanged as a result of the migration waves starting at anearlier date than the other cities and this third group ofpopulation was added to the already existing dualstructure. The efforts to ensure the co-existence of thesediffering groups have gained on importance. The sameefforts are currently on the agenda as a result of theexisting dual structure of the city.

    Determining as to whether or not the public urbanlocations would serve as the contact points for bringingtogether the differing income groups in the city has beenspecified as one of the basic problems in this research. The

    issue has been dealt with as based particularly on theshopping centers and the attempt has been made to assesswhether or not or to which extent the shopping centersused intensively by the urban population would play a rolein this context. Determining the diversity and intensity ofthe utilization of these centers as public urban locationwas specified as another problem.

    It is rather important that the findings obtained withthis research should be the subject of discussion conductedin planning and design environment and be evaluated asdata in the design processes pertaining to these centers.The results point at the requirement to handle these centersas a tool to transform the existing fragmentation into avital richness. The basic approach of the research is that

    the city should have an all-embracing, integrating anddeveloping nature with respect to the different groups andfurthermore encourage the inhabitants to live in and sharethe wealth of the city.

    2. THE RESEARCH METHOD

    The survey method has been used in this research, inwhich the aim is to specify the public life characteristicsof the shopping centers, the diversity and intensity of theutilization of these shopping centers by the differentgroups living in the city and to establish a discussionforum pertaining to these issues. As the research methodwas designed, we have in the first place determined whatkind of information is required in this research and

    subsequently the initial form of the survey has beenestablished. The necessary changes have been carried outfollowing an in-dept examination of the questions in the

    first design and have been finalized as a result of the pre-test that was then conducted. The problem definitions inthis research have been taken as the basis at the stage of

    decision making related to the necessary information to beobtained.

    The survey consists of four consecutive parts. Thequestions pertaining to the responding person are includedin the first part. The second part encompasses thequestions related to the information on the household. Thequestions in the third part relate to the residence. The lastpart consists of the questions related to the shoppingcenter. The text of the questions has been prepared usingsimple terminology and in such a way as to preventputting the responding person in a difficult position, toavoid suggesting any answers and arranged in order toavoid responses containing predictions andgeneralizations.

    The survey questions are freely answerable with amultitude of alternatives. The questions with free answershave been posed in the cases where obtaining theinformation from the own answers of the respondingpersons was regarded as more appropriate. Questions withmultitude choices as answers have posed in the caseswhere it would probably be difficult for the persons togive their own answers. The face-to-face technique hasbeen used as aresult of the dependence of the survey to thetime and place.

    The preliminary assessments and the criteria set out forthe preparation of the survey have been based on thegroups to be surveyed, the shopping centers and the

    intensity of their utilization.

    a) The Preliminary Assessments and the Criteria for theGroups to be Surveyed:

    1-As has been mentioned in the heading of this project,the groups should exhibit meaningful differences,2-The place of settlement of these different groups isimportant,3-These groups must be listed according to the incomelevel,4-It would be useful to determine the cultural situationof the groups. However, we have refrained from doingthis because that would increase the work load of the

    project.b) The Preliminary Assessments and Criteria for

    determining the Public Urban Places / ShoppingCenters where the Survey is to be conducted:

    1-The location of the centers must be taken intoaccount,2-The alternative shopping centers must bedistinguishable and comparable.3-The meaning, accessibility, the features related to thespace and the diversity of utilization of the centers isimportant.

    c) The Preliminary Assessments and Criteria for theintensity of the utilization of the Public Urban Places /

    Shopping Centers:

    The Information Related To The Residence:

    - The relationship between the settlement areas andcenters has yielded interesting g results. The common userpotential of all centers during the week days and atweekends is located in Emek-Baheli, Etlik-Keiren andBatkent settlements.

While Real will be preferred intensively duringthe weekdays by the persons living in the vicinity, it ismostly preferred by the persons living in far awaysettlements at the weekends. The users of Migros exhibit awide distribution with respect to the settlements during theweek days but it will be preferred by persons coming fromcertain settlement areas. Beendik has the largest potential

    of users including the persons living in the vicinity bothduring the week days and at the weekends. According tothese results, a user mobility related mostly to shoppingcan be observed in Ankara during the week days and at theweekends and the distance to the shopping centers will notbe taken into consideration with regard to the choice of theshopping center.

    and at the weekends live in residences with 2 rooms and asaloon, the users in Migros during the week days and atweekends live in residences with 2 rooms and a saloon.

    These results corroborate the findings related to theincome distribution.

    - It has been observed in the answers to the questionrelated to the ownership of the residence that most of theusers in all centers during the week days and at theweekends do not pay rental fee for the residence they livein.

    - The ownership of the residence is variable and in allcenters except the users in Real at the weekends usuallythe persons own the residence. It has been observed withregard to the users in Real at the weekends that the parentsof the users have the ownership of the residences. The factthat most of the users were students has led to this result.

    The Information Related To ThePlace

    - An interesting result has been obtained from thequestions regarding the means of transport to the centers.Two of the centers, Migros and Real, have servicevehicles but only a minority prefers to use the servicevehicle of Real. The choice of walking was onlymeaningful with regard to Real. Real will be preferredduring the week days by the persons living in the vicinity.Most of the users in the centers during the week daysprefer the public transportation vehicles but at theweekends private car replaces the public transportationand will be preferred by the users in all centers except forReal. Ankaray and underground were the preferred means

    of transportation for Beendik because it is centrallylocated.

    - It has been observed in the assessment with respect tothe frequency of visits to the centers that Atakule andYznc Yl Shopping Center will be used once a monthand rather seldom. This result is connected with the factthat in both centers food is not sold. While visits once aweek or every two weeks are intensive for the week daysin Real and once a month for the weekends. Real is acenter that will be preferred by the users in the vicinityduring the week days. Migros and Beendik are centersthat will be visited both during the week days and theweekends once every two weeks. The location of thesecenters has led to this result. The fact that the centers will

    usually not be used once a week means that the consumersmake large scale purchases.

    - It has been observed from the answers given to thequestion related to how the user s come to the centers thatalmost none of the users of Atakule and Real at theweekends were not alone but half of the users of YzncYl, Migros and Beendik were alone. The proportionschange somewhat for the weekends but coming as a singlewill not be preferred in any of the centers.

    - The question related to the persons accompanying theusers was mostly answered as the spouse in all centersexcept in Yznc Yl Shopping Center during the week

    days and the friend was the preferred accompanyingperson in Yznc Yl Shopping Center at the weekends.This shows that the shopping activity will usually be

    - It has been observed from the answers given to the

    question related to the purpose of the visit at the centerthat Yznc Yl, Real and Beendik are used forshopping during the week and at weekends, Migros willbe used for looking around during the week and shoppingat the weekend, unlike the others, Atakule will be used forlooking around during the week and at weekends.

    - Activities such as eating, exhibitions, movie, theater,meeting with other people are secondary activities withregard to Yznc Yl Real and Beendik. Beendik and

    Yznc Yl Shopping Center do not offer many suchopportunities. However, the visitors at Real still do notmake much use of these opportunities although they areoffered there and prefer in the first place shopping in Real.

    - The interpretation of the visitors with regard to theeffect of space in the centers deviates. However, theanswers given by the visitors in all centers both during theweek days and the weekends are fraught with positivespace effects comforting, different and exciting,pleasant.

    - When the centers are evaluated with respect to humanrelationships, it can be observed that almost none of thevisitors both during the week days and at weekends has

    met anybody new in the centers. Obviously the centers areused and preferred by the visitors mainly for shoppingare not considered to be a place conducive forcommunication.

    - Most of the visitors during the week days and atweekends have a negative opinion with regard to thecenters as providing opportunities for meeting new people.The visitors of Yznc Yl Shopping Center constitute inthis respect the most conservative group. A relatively largegroup has emerged in the other centers that has a positiveopinion in this respect.

    - Those who think that it should be possible to get toknow new people in the centers have suggested additionalactivities such as music, entertainment, sports, exhibition,etc. The desire of the visitors during the week days and atweekends in Migros was diversification such as places forelderly people, open spaces, sitting places. Migros that hasa lot of activities has differentiated itself from the otherswith respect to public utilization.

    - The participation in the activities offered by thecenters is of a limited nature in all centers. The activitiesother than eating such as exhibition, conference, movie,theater, gastronomy locations are all insulated from eachother, which is a limiting factor regarding the participationof the visitors in these activities.

    - It has been observed from the answers given to the

    - It has been observed from the answers given to thequestion related to going to the centers that almost allvisitors during the week days and at weekends go tosimilar centers. The centers do not have in this meaning acertain user profile.

    - Obviously, Beendik is the shopping center that willbe used most compared to the centers. Beendik will bepreferred as a result of the means of transport followed byMigros, Real, Atakule and Yznc Yl Shopping Center.

    5. CONCLUSION

    The shopping centers with their public urban placeproperties must be considered as the most importantcommunication environment of our time for the differentgroups. In the example of Ankara, the results of theresearch conducted on the basis of 5 shopping centershave led to interesting findings with respect to thisapproach. Although they offer different opportunities, theimportant activity in the centers is shopping. This is a typeof activity with the aim of shopping carried out usually bythe family in certain intervals the visiting interval of thecenters is 15 days or more. The visitors who come withtheir own cars and generally together with families at theweekends prefer shopping regarding their needs for a fewweeks. The shopping will be accomplished in short periodof time and the family leaves the center. Most of the usersdo not take part in the activities. The activities are isolated
