Abstract

Yeni bir disiplin olarak son yıllarda uluslararası literatürde önemli bir yer edinen “Nöroşehircilik” bilim dalının ele alındığı bu çalışma, doküman incelemesine dayalı nitel verilerden yararlanılarak oluşturulmuş teorik bir çalışmadır. Çalışmanın temel amacı, henüz ulusal literatürde yeterince yer bulamayan bu disiplini incelemek, tanıtımını yapmak ve çalışma prensibini irdelemektir. Bu doğrultuda çalışma, özellikle kentsel mekanlar, kent sosyolojisi ve kent sağlığının nöroşehircilik bağlamında değerlendirilmesine yönelik olarak önem arz etmektedir. Kentsel dezavantajlar ve kentsel stresi merkeze alan ve çözüm önerisi olarak nöroşehirciliği ön planda tutan bu çalışma sonucunda, nöroşehircilik disiplininin ilerleyen yıllarda küresel kentleşme oranının artmasına bağlı olarak hem ulusal hem de uluslararası literatürde, kentsel planlama ve uygulama politikalarında ön plana çıkacağı düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca farklı bilim dallarıyla ortaklaşa, kapsamlı çalışmaların temelini oluşturacağı ve kent araştırmaları üzerine yeni bir bakış açısı kazandıracağı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Urban Policies for Mental Health: Neurourbanism Approach

Abstract

This theoretical study, which deals with the discipline of "Neurourbanism", which has gained an important place in the international literature as a new discipline in recent years, was created using qualitative data based on document analysis. The main purpose of the study is to examine, promote and examine the working principle of this discipline, which has not yet found enough space in the national literature. In this regard, the study is especially important for the evaluation of urban spaces, urban sociology and urban health in the context of neurourbanism. As a result of this study, which focuses on urban disadvantages and urban stress and prioritizes neurourbanism as a solution proposal, it is thought that the discipline of neurourbanism will come to the fore in both national and international literature, urban planning and implementation policies due to the increase in the rate of global urbanization in the coming years. In addition, it has been concluded that it will form the basis of comprehensive studies in collaboration with different branches of science and will provide a new perspective on urban research.
