This study focused on Ekistics, the proposed science of human settlements by Constantinos A. Doxiadis in the 1960s, with reference to the current discussions in the field of knowledge, particularly the exponential growth in the amount of data. The conditions which led Doxiadis to found a new science of human settlements were discussed in a comparative manner to the current challenges scientists face today in the age of Big Data. Ekistics used the logic of the grid as an essential element in both construction and representation of the new science of human settlements. In the article, this new science was primarily considered as an effort to data-basing all human settlements that ever existed regardless of their scales, and it is argued that the logic of Ekistics fits better as a tool for analysis and documentation since it is very analytically constructed as a grid. Even though the grid logic corresponds to physical systems in the city, like roads or other infrastructural elements, abstract relationships between disciplines, or the flow of information, in Doxiadis’ formulation, the grid remains a two-dimensional construct that presupposes linear advancement from analysis to production.

Bu çalışma, 1960'larda Constantinos A. Doxiadis tarafından geliştirilen insan yerleşimleri bilimi olan Ekistics’e, özellikle veri miktarındaki büyük artış başta olmak üzere bilgi alanındaki güncel tartışmalara referansla odaklanmıştır. Doxiadis'i yeni bir insan yerleşimleri bilimi kurmasına yönlendiren koşullar, bilim adamlarının bugün büyük veri çağında karşılaştığı mevcut zorluklarla karşılaştırmalı bir şekilde tartışılmıştır. Doxiadis, grid mantığını, kurmaya çalıştığı bu yeni insan yerleşimleri biliminin hem inşasında hem de temsilinde temel bir unsur olarak kullanmıştır. Makalede bu yeni bilim, ölçekleri ne olursa olsun, var olan tüm insan yerleşimlerini veriye dayandırma çabası olarak ele alınmış ve Ekistics için kurgulanan gridin analitik yapılandırıldığı gerekçesiyle bir analiz ve belgeleme aracı olarak görülmesinin daha uygun olduğu iddia edilmiştir. Her ne kadar grid fiziksel yapısıyla hem kente ait yolların veya diğer altyapı unsurlarının ilişkilerini hem de disiplinler arasındaki soyut ilişkileri ve bilgi akışını kavramsal olarak temsil etme potansiyeline sahip olsa da, Doxiadis'in formülasyonunda grid, analizden üretime doğrusal bir ilerlemeyi varsayan iki boyutlu bir şema olarak kalmaktadır.
