Özet:
Kadifekale, since the ancient times, has been a significant area of the city of İzmir, hosting many civilizations, the traces of which reached our day. In the 1990s, the area received the rural populations, who were displaced due to forced migration. The gecekondu neighbourhoods of Kadifekale, since the 1970s, have been homogeneous settlement areas because of the vast majority of Mardinite migrants. At the present time, the area has been evacuated as part of Kadifekale and Yeşildere Urban Renewal Project due to the imminent risk of landslide, and the residents were offered the TOKİ Uzundere apartment blocks as the resettlement alternative. Designation of Kadifekale and its surroundings as archaeological site is another valuable input regarding the area. As a result of these qualities, Kadifekale became a focal point to the innovative approaches of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, which, as of 2009, has entered into a process of change and transformation concerning its urban policies. This thesis hereby examines a socio-cultural and urban phenomenon that strives to survive within the framework established above: Tandır ovens, which are generally observed in the rural parts of Anatolia, evoking domestic meanings, are now located inside the citadels of Kadifekale, and have been utilized by a group of İzmir-Mardinite migrant women to earn a living for their families. The women bake and sell tandır bread in order to hold on to the city economically and existentially. Besides, the tandır ovens act as a tool helping them reconstruct their identity and sense of belonging, which they unwillingly left behind. This multi-layered phenomenon, which—for now—exists in the urban public space in all its vulnerability, has been handled by the multi-disciplinary initiatives established by the local authorities, and raises the question of whether it is worth preserving or not. This thesis aims to analyze the tandır case in Kadifekale from these standpoints and record this phenomenon to the history and memory of the city. Keywords: tandır, forced migration, gecekondu, Mardin, Kadifekale, place attachment, participatory design/governance, intangible cultural heritage.
