KAPALI KONUT YERLEŞİMLERİNDE SINIR MEKÂN OLGUSU
BORDER SPACE IN CLOSED HOUSING SETTLEMENTS

Summary/Abstract: As living conditions, place of residence, economic situation, work and working styles change, the need for space also changes. With the industrial revolution, the construction and demographic balance of the settlements has changed with the migration of the rural population to the city. Globalization and technological developments that emerged in the following years have affected all sectors and therefore people's expectations. The economic situation, smart technologies, business lines that turn to digital media cause the emergence of other space formations. While people want safer and more diverse business environments, residences, schools or hotels, designers and entrepreneurs are looking for innovations in different presentations. Changing living conditions especially affect the house and its surroundings. While the houses have entrances on the street and dead-end street in the traditional pattern, today they are built in different zoning conditions, both in search of a status indicator and with different expectations. Especially in the last 20 years, it is seen that urban closed housing/site settlements have been built increasingly in Turkey. This type of settlement covers large areas in the city with its surrounding closed, with the construction of the zoning island, while there used to be access to every street, now only public spaces around the border elements can be used. In this study, the boundary elements of the closed/site houses located in the Yahyakaptan neighborhood of the central district of Kocaeli province, Izmit will be discussed and the transition between the city and the residential area will be determined.
