The Spatial and Cultural Configuration of the Family in the Context of the Islamic City: The Case of Pervari

Year 2025, Issue: 37, 204 - 225, 15.10.2025
https://doi.org/10.35415/sirnakifd.1689581

Abstract

The research examines the impact of the Islamic city concept on the spatial and cultural identity of families in the Pervari district. An Islamic city is not merely a settlement consisting of buildings; it is a living form that protects privacy, fosters social solidarity, and inscribes spiritual values into space. In the study that sought to answer the question “How does the Islamic city concept in Pervari affect the spatial and cultural positioning of the family?”, a qualitative method was adopted. Semi-structured interviews conducted with 17 participants were evaluated using the descriptive analysis technique. The importance of this research is to reveal that the Islamic city concept is not only a historical model, but also a vibrant structure in terms of today’s family structure and social organization. In the face of the transformative effects of modernization and globalization, scientifically documenting local experiences aimed at preserving spatial order and social structure will contribute to the relatively limited literature on the sustainability of the Islamic city and the family. The findings show that mosque-centered settlement patterns, courtyard houses, and common social areas both protect family privacy and strengthen social ties. However, this traditional structure has gradually eroded under the influence of modernization and globalization, resulting in a visible increase in individualization, spatial alienation, and cultural fragmentation. Giving more importance to local culture and family values in spatial planning will strengthen social solidarity. In this respect, the study also prepares the groundwork for new discussions on integrating traditional family-centered urban textures into modern urban planning.

İslam Şehri Anlayışı Bağlamında Ailenin Mekânsal ve Kültürel Konumlanışı: Pervari Örneği

Abstract

Araştırma, İslam şehir anlayışının ailenin mekânsal ve kültürel kimliği üzerindeki etkilerini Pervari ilçesi örneğinde incelemektedir. İslam şehri, yalnızca binalardan oluşan bir yerleşim yeri değil; mahremiyeti koruyan, toplumsal dayanışmayı destekleyen ve manevi değerleri mekâna nakşeden bir yaşam formudur. “Pervari’de İslam şehri anlayışı ailenin mekânsal ve kültürel konumlanışı üzerinde nasıl bir etki oluşturmaktadır?” sorusuna yanıt aranan çalışmada nitel yöntem benimsenmiş; 17 katılımcıyla gerçekleştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler betimsel analiz tekniğiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Bu araştırmanın önemi, İslam şehir anlayışının sadece tarihsel bir model değil, günümüz aile yapısı ve toplumsal örgütlenmesi açısından da canlı bir yapı olduğunun ortaya koyulmasıdır. Modernleşme ve küreselleşmenin dönüştürücü etkileri karşısında, mekânsal düzenin ve sosyal yapının korunmasına yönelik yerel tecrübelerin bilimsel olarak belgelenmesi, literatürü sınırlı olan İslam şehri ve ailenin sürdürülebilirliği konusuna katkı sunacaktır. Bulgular, cami merkezli yerleşim düzeni, avlulu evler ve ortak sosyal alanların hem aile mahremiyetini koruduğunu hem de toplumsal bağları güçlendirdiğini göstermektedir. Ancak bu geleneksel yapı, modernleşme ve küreselleşmenin etkisiyle giderek aşınmış, bireyselleşme, mekânsal yabancılaşma ve kültürel parçalanmada gözle görülür bir artış yaşanmıştır. Mekân planlamasında yerel kültüre ve aile değerlerine daha fazla önem verilmesi, toplumsal dayanışmayı güçlendirecektir. Çalışma bu yönüyle aile merkezli geleneksel şehir dokularının modern kent planlamasına entegre edilmesine dair yeni tartışmalara da zemin hazırlamaktadır.
