Çocuk Coğrafyaları ve Çocukların Gündelik Mekânları

Öz

Sosyal Bilimlerin diğer alanlarında olduğu gibi Coğrafya disiplininde de yeni ilgi duyulan çocuklar ve çocukluk kavramı ‘çocukluğun yeni sosyal çalışmaları’ kapsamında coğrafyacıların da yoğun olarak eğildiği bir alan olmuştur. Son yirmi yıl içindeki çalışmalar sayesinde ‘çocuk coğrafyaları’, Beşeri Coğrafya’nın bir alt dalı olmasının yanında özellikle sosyal bilimlerdeki teorik tartışmalara bağlı olarak disiplinlerarası çalışmalara da konu olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, çocuk coğrafyalarının gelişim süreci hakim olan yaklaşımlar çerçevesinde irdelendikten sonra çocuk ve mekân arasındaki ilişkiyi anlamak için gündelik olanın tecrübe edildiği çocukların gündelik mekânları ele alınacaktır. Bu bağlamda, mekânsal bir perspektifin çocuk çalışmalarına derinlik kattığının altı çizilip, nispeten yeni olan bu alana, Türkiye coğrafyacılarının ilgi duymasının coğrafya çalışmalarına da farklı bir boyut katacağı vurgulanmıştır.
