Abstract

This article analyzes the Urban Political Ecology (UPE) literature as an interdisciplinary field of research by examining its emerging ideas and concepts. This literature urges new discussions regarding the concept of the city, the urban-rural distinction, the methodology problem with comprehensive empirical analyses. Despite this, there are still gaps in understanding social transformations and changes with the concepts of cyborg, planetary urbanization, metobolism, hybrid and so on. This article addresses these constraints by means of the concepts and discussions revealed within the literature of UPE. Therefore, by mobilizing the term of milieu, which is largely ignored in theoretical discussions within UPE, this article aims to contribute to the conceptual and empirical problems of the UPE literature. First, this paper analyzes the urban political ecology research program with different theoretical frameworks, different problem areas and different forms of conceptualization. Second, it examines the theoretical debates in the last 15 years. Third, the concept of milieu is addressed in order to contribute to these discussions. The study follows a research methodology based on secondary sources, since it includes a theoretical discussion.

Özet

Bu makale, disiplinler arası bir araştırma alanı sunan Kentsel Politik Ekoloji (KPE) literatürünün nasıl yeni fikirlere ve kavramlara açık olduğunu göstermeye çalışırken aslında bu yeni alanda karşılaştığı sorunları vurgulamayı ve bu sorunlara çözüm önermeyi amaçlar. Bu yeni sayılan KPE literatürü, şehir kavramı, kentsel-kırsal ayrımı, metodoloji sorunu ve benzeri konularla ilgili yeni tartışmalar yapılmasını önerir fakat yine de tam başarılı olamaz. Bu makale, KPE literatürü üzerinden bu kavramsal sorunları tartışmaya açar. KPE içerisindeki kuramsal tartışmalarda göz ardı edilen milieu kavramını harekete geçirmeyi amaçlar. Böylelikle bu tartışmalara katkı sağlamayı hedefler. Makale, üç amacı içerir: Birincisi, kentsel politik ekoloji araştırma programının farklı kuramsal okumalar, farklı sorun alanları ve farklı kavramsallaştırma biçimleri ile çerçevesinde incelenmesi; ikincisi, son 15 yıllık süreyi kapsayan bu yeni literatür içerisindeki kuramsal tartışmaların irdelenmesi; üçüncüsü, bu tartışmalara hitaben milieu (kentsel ortam) kavramının önerilmesini içerir. Bu çalışma kuramsal bir tartışma içerdiği için yöntem olarak ikincil kaynaklara dayalı bir araştırma metodolojisi izler.
