The spatial changes in the "harik mahali" (anafartalar-hisarpark area) in Ankara-Ulus within the context of urban morphology

This thesis research focuses on the spatial changes in the morphological structure of Necatibey (Hisarönü) neighborhood that disappeared as a result of the great Ankara fire in 1916. The factors that influenced the development of Necatibey (Hisarönü) neighborhood, which was a part of the historical development process of Ankara-Ulus district before the great Ankara fire, were attempted to be identified. Then, the areas where urban changes from the beginning of the modernization movements with the 1839 Tanzimat Fermanı until 1929 occurred in the Eski Şehir (Eski Ankara) were defined. Up to this point, changes in the economic and social structure of Ankara-Ulus city and the changes in the form and physical structure of the city have been narrated as a whole. The institutions, laws, and plans that have influenced the spatial changes up to this process have been discussed in detail, including the Emval-i Metruke Commission and the establishment of the Ankara Şehremaneti, as well as the expropriation authority given to the municipality (Law No. 583). After briefly explaining other institutions that influenced the changes, the urban changes in Necatibey (Hisarönü) neighborhood were examined in the modern plans made for Eski Ankara (from the Early Republican Period to the 1961 Regional Plan). After describing the plan decisions related to the study area in the 1924 Lörcher Eski Şehir Plan and the 1957 Yücel Uybadin Plan, the spatial changes in the morphological structure of the study area were comparatively examined until the implementation of the 1924 Lörcher Eski Şehir Plan and the 1957 Yücel Uybadin Plan. In this stage, the city history was considered as urban planning history, and the spatial dimension was added to the city history, explaining the changes in urban morphology and urban fabric. In this context, the 1924 Ankara Şehri Map was compared with the 1924 Lörher Eski Şehir Plan, the 1924 Lörher Eski Şehir Plan with the Necatibey Neighborhood Cadastral Map covering 1929-1936, the 1929-1936 Necatibey Neighborhood Cadastral Map with the 1938 Jansen Yangın Yeri Plan, and the 1938 Hermann Jansen Yangın Yeri (Necatibey Neighborhood) Plan with the 1957 Yücel Uybadin Plan, and the spatial changes were determined.
