etween Özdilek which carries a privileged property and <strong>the</strong> neighbor<strong>in</strong>g plots <strong>of</strong><br />
Özdilek which <strong>the</strong>ir build<strong>in</strong>g rights were limited by <strong>the</strong> decisi<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> Committee.<br />
The first po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>in</strong>dicated by <strong>the</strong>se data is that <strong>the</strong>re are no <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong>e <strong>justice</strong><br />
def<strong>in</strong>iti<strong>on</strong>s and no just criteria and applicati<strong>on</strong>s reached by comm<strong>on</strong> <strong>process</strong>es about <strong>the</strong><br />
disagreements which can c<strong>on</strong>stitute a sample and which take place between <strong>the</strong> parties.<br />
These results show that each party has a <strong>justice</strong> acceptance and defense def<strong>in</strong>ed by<br />
different c<strong>on</strong>tents <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> disagreements seen dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> adjudicati<strong>on</strong> <strong>process</strong> <strong>on</strong> urban<br />
space. This k<strong>in</strong>d <strong>of</strong> result <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand <strong>in</strong>dicates that an urban space formati<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>process</strong>, which is legal but illegitimate and is almost impossible to c<strong>on</strong>clude that it is<br />
“just”, is detected <strong>on</strong> urban land. In this sense, <strong>justice</strong> c<strong>on</strong>cept has an abstract quality<br />
almost like a myth. In this practice, it is almost impossible to free <strong>the</strong> urban space from<br />
its property <strong>of</strong> be<strong>in</strong>g an area <strong>on</strong> which exist<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>equalities are reproduced if ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

Establish<strong>in</strong>g an <str<strong>on</strong>g>evaluati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> about form<strong>in</strong>g just <strong>process</strong>es an urban land makes it<br />
necessary to rec<strong>on</strong>sider <strong>the</strong> subjects about <strong>the</strong> rights, <strong>in</strong>terest, freedoms and equality<br />
c<strong>on</strong>cepts as comp<strong>on</strong>ents <strong>of</strong> <strong>justice</strong> and about <strong>the</strong> study <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se c<strong>on</strong>cepts <strong>on</strong> urban land.<br />
In such an <str<strong>on</strong>g>evaluati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> practicable criteria can be formed by elim<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />
limitati<strong>on</strong>s sourc<strong>in</strong>g from <strong>the</strong> unbalances <strong>in</strong> social, ec<strong>on</strong>omic and cultural structure and<br />
by orient<strong>in</strong>g toward <strong>the</strong> agreeable pr<strong>in</strong>ciples. The guid<strong>in</strong>g approaches for <strong>the</strong>se<br />
pr<strong>in</strong>ciples are develop<strong>in</strong>g an approach which c<strong>on</strong>siders <strong>the</strong> requirements priority and<br />
establishes a balance between <strong>the</strong> opportunities and limitati<strong>on</strong>s and <strong>in</strong>dividuals and<br />
society <strong>on</strong> urban land.<br />
In this c<strong>on</strong>text, <strong>the</strong> fist step <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> formati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> a just social-spatial structure <strong>on</strong><br />
urban land is to decrease <strong>the</strong> ec<strong>on</strong>omic and cultural <strong>in</strong>equalities which result <strong>of</strong> macro<br />
political ec<strong>on</strong>omic structure <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Turkey. The questi<strong>on</strong>s that should be asked for a<br />
realistic <str<strong>on</strong>g>evaluati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>of</strong> such an orientati<strong>on</strong> are about <strong>the</strong> tools, methods and results <strong>of</strong> just<br />
<strong>process</strong>. The questi<strong>on</strong>s which are guidance <strong>in</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>evaluati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> about whe<strong>the</strong>r every decisi<strong>on</strong>,<br />
acti<strong>on</strong> and <strong>in</strong>terference <strong>on</strong> urban land has just <strong>process</strong>es can be: What k<strong>in</strong>d <strong>of</strong><br />
opportunity and advantage distributi<strong>on</strong> is realized <strong>on</strong> urban land with <strong>the</strong> decisi<strong>on</strong>s and<br />
practices? Which requirement <strong>of</strong> which social group is met by service? Is <strong>the</strong>re any<br />
priority <strong>on</strong> urban land and by which criteria are <strong>the</strong>se priorities determ<strong>in</strong>ed? Does any<br />
<strong>in</strong>vestment <strong>in</strong> an urban area have <strong>the</strong> property <strong>of</strong> be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> most needed <strong>in</strong>vestment at<br />
that area and does it have priority? Is <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>vestment decisi<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>sidered <strong>in</strong> social<br />
