Abstract

Yaratıcı Sınıf Kuramı ekonomik gelişmenin öncüsü olarak işlerden, mesleklerden veya şirketlerden ziyade, kişileri ortaya koyan, iyi gelişmiş
insan sermayesini ekonomik büyümenin ana etkenlerinden biri olarak kabul eden modern bir anlayış üzerine kurulmuştur. Kuram, değişen
şehri ve şehir sakinlerini tanımlayarak farklı bir bakış açısı getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, İstanbul’da yaşayan, lider, yönetici, girişimci, bilim
insanı ve sanatçılardan oluşan yaratıcı sınıfla yapılmış bir anketin verilerinden yola çıkılarak, gelişmiş işgücünün coğrafi alanda dağılımı ve
işyeri, yaşam yeri tercihlerini hangi etkenlere göre belirlediği araştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar yaratıcı sınıfın ağırlıklı olarak geniş iş imkanları
nedeniyle büyük şehirde ikamet etmeyi tercih ettiğini ve şehir içinde yerleşiminin oldukça dağınık olduğunu göstermektedir. İşyeri ve yaşam
yeri tercihleri ile ilgili olarak elde edilen bulgular kültürel çeşitlilik, sosyal olanaklar, konfor alanlarının varlığı gibi yumuşak etkenlerin tercih
yapmada rolünü ortaya koymakta ve Yaratıcı Sınıf Kuramını doğrulamaktadır. Ayrıca, sonuçlar çeşitli altgruplarda farklı etkenlerin etkili
olduğunu göstermektedir. Elde edilen bulguların şehir ve işgücü planlaması ile ilgili olarak gerek politik alanda gerek iş alanında yapılacak
uygulamalara yön vermesi hedeflenmektedir.

Abstract

The Creative Class Theory is founded on the idea of human capital being the main factor of growth in the economy, rather than jobs, occupations or firms. The theory brings a new understanding to the changing city and its residents. This study determines the living and working place factors of choice of the creative class and how the high skilled workforce is spread on the geographical place. The data is obtained from a survey conducted with leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, scientists, artists who live and work in İstanbul. The results suggest that new job opportunities that the big city offers are main factors for settlement and the creative class is widely spread within the city. Findings on the factors of choice reveal that, soft factors such as, cultural diversity, social opportunities, availability of comfort zones play a role which support the Creative Class Theory. Findings also show that different factors are effective for various sub categories. The findings are expected to help in developing political and managerial implementations in city and workforce planning.
