From <strong>the</strong> standpo<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> outcome <strong>of</strong> this <strong>process</strong>; <strong>in</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r words, from <strong>the</strong><br />

standpo<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> whe<strong>the</strong>r or not <strong>the</strong> judicial decisi<strong>on</strong>s are viable, any judgement regard<strong>in</strong>g<br />

whe<strong>the</strong>r or not <strong>the</strong> said decisi<strong>on</strong>s were ”fair and just”, can <strong>on</strong>ly be possible through <strong>the</strong><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>evaluati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> implementati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se decisi<strong>on</strong>s. HENCE, as <strong>the</strong> examples such as<br />

<strong>the</strong> light <strong>in</strong>dustry site, <strong>the</strong> Olympic Houses, Özdilek Tourism Center have shown us,<br />

although <strong>the</strong> court has decided <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> revocati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> adm<strong>in</strong>istrative procedure, <strong>the</strong><br />

decisi<strong>on</strong>s cannot be implemented.<br />

When <strong>the</strong> sec<strong>on</strong>d approach is taken <strong>in</strong>to c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong>;<br />

In an <str<strong>on</strong>g>evaluati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>of</strong> this type developed <strong>in</strong> urban envir<strong>on</strong>ment, it is possible to<br />

elaborate <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> exist<strong>in</strong>g social order and relati<strong>on</strong>s from a <str<strong>on</strong>g>critical</str<strong>on</strong>g> perspective. In such a<br />

case, <strong>in</strong> additi<strong>on</strong> to <strong>the</strong> framework <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> positive law, <strong>the</strong> current status <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> plann<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

<strong>the</strong> legal system and <strong>the</strong> society as a whole, can also be reviewed. With this approach, it<br />

is possible to discuss to what extent a legal-social-ec<strong>on</strong>omic framework where <strong>the</strong><br />

def<strong>in</strong>iti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>stituti<strong>on</strong>al rights, acceptance <strong>of</strong> a homogenous social structure,<br />

equality as an abstract c<strong>on</strong>cept, and <strong>the</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> equal opportunities are disregarded,<br />

is/can be effective <strong>in</strong> an urban envir<strong>on</strong>ment. With<strong>in</strong> this framework, <strong>the</strong> urban-spatial<br />

demands can be evaluated <strong>in</strong> a more comprehensive manner. The acceptance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

assumpti<strong>on</strong> referred to above, stat<strong>in</strong>g that <strong>the</strong> legal <strong>justice</strong> generates “just and fair”<br />

decisi<strong>on</strong>s under “just and fair” c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s, can be discussed <strong>in</strong> a new dimensi<strong>on</strong>, when<br />

<strong>the</strong> demands relat<strong>in</strong>g to urban space, are taken up toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> <strong>process</strong>es relat<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

urban space.<br />
