a critical evaluation on the concept of justice in planning process

CHAPTER 3
TRANSFORMATION OF PLANNING PROCESS IN
TURKEY AFTER 1980’S
In the second part of this study, criticizes about; a. Institutional functions and
formal organizations, b. Economic political selections, c. Cultural determination forms
directed by justice theories are presented. Some of these three layer critics are oriented
toward the refusal of practical, theoretical are presented. Some of these three layer
critics are oriented toward the refusal of practical, theoretical and scientific approaches

proposing revisions of these arguments. Besides justice theories, other subjects
discussed here are the rights and freedoms, equality and interest arguments, limits in the
practices of justice, state and practiced/formal dimension of justice defined by the laws
of the state. How justice is handled within state organization and legal frame in Turkish
practices is evaluated in this section after all these <strong>evaluation</strong>s. Evaluations about these
subjects will provide a possibility of generalization about how the limits and scopes of
spatial justice in Turkey should be considered. Therefore, “justice” concept is evaluated
on the basis of a new platform which involves Turkish practices. Turkish planning
practices are studied from two viewpoints in order to discuss them from this
perspective:
1. Justice acceptances of social institutions about spatial subjects in the entire state-law-
society relationships defined as formal arrangements,
2. Justice acceptances in economic political selections.
The first part mentioned above involves studies of legal arrangements and
institutions formed on the behalf of Turkish Republic Constitution which has
conjunctive property in the organization of urban space. In this context, how rights,

evaluated.
In the second part, the spatial affects of economic transformations after 1980 are
evaluated. This part involves the <strong>evaluation</strong>s of transformations of the organizing role of
