Abstract
Soylulaştırma (gentrification), İngiliz sosyolog Ruth Glass’ın 20. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Londra’nın merkezinde yeni bir olgu olarak sosyal adalet ve sınıf vurgusu yaptığı, bir yer değiştirme sürecini tanımlamaktadır. 1980’li ve 1990’lı yıllardan itibaren soylulaştırma süreci, küresel ölçekte yaygınlaşarak Batı Avrupa kentlerinden Amerika’ya, Mumbai’den İstanbul’a kadar birçok farklı kentte görülerek yayılım göstermiştir.Bu çalışma da İstanbul’un Balat Mahallesinde Mart 2013-Aralık 2016 yılları arasında yürütülen saha araştırması ve görüşmelere dayanarak, kentsel bir süreç olan soylulaştırmanın gündelik hayattaki görünümlerine odaklanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, 1990’lı yılların sonlarından itibaren kademeli olarak ilerleyen Balat’taki soylulaştırma süreci, gündelik hayat perspektifinden olgusal yönleriyle incelenmektedir. Makalede öncelikle Soylulaştırma ve Aktörleri, Araştırma Yönteminin Tanımlanması, Günümüzdeki Balat Mahallesi, Balat’ın Mekânsal Özellikleri ve Sosyo-Demografik Yapısı başlıkları çerçevesinde ilgili bilgiler aktarılmaktadır. Devamında ise Balat’ın mekânsal ve sosyal değişimi Balat ve Soylulaştırma: Kademeli Değişim başlığında oluşturulan kronolojik bir dizi halinde ele alınmaktadır. Çalışmanın ilerleyen bölümlerinde ise kronolojik dizinin son bölümünü oluşturan Değişen Mekânlar, İnsanlar ve İlişkiler başlığında saha araştırmasının verileri; eskiler ve yeniler, yer değiştirme, fiyat değişimi ve sokak kullanımı olguları bağlamında incelenmektedir.
