| dc.description.abstract | In a general term violence is “the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual against oneself, or other person, or against a group of community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation” (WHO, 2002)1. In addition to this certain definition, we may also interpret violence as destruction of values and memories of a community by impositions and ignoring whole rule sets in order to reveal power and reconstruct a new society under hegemony. Urban space is the main tool for implementing such kind of a violence and it refers both visible violence that includes changing of physical space within functionally and imaginary, and invisible violence that implies shifting meaning of space. After hundreds years existince of Ottoman Empire, establishment of Turkish Republic in 1923 was a starting point of the new civilization era. As being the capital city of Turkey, Ankara was choosen the main spatial representative of republican ideology. The new ideology which refers to modernization and bases on democratic principles started to spatialize itself by constructing the new city. In this sense, evolution of the city from a small village to a metropolis shows an extraordinary contextual and historical example which comes until today. Within the construction process of the city, we can mention two main spatial representatives of republican ideology. | |
