Özet: Since its proclamation as the capital city of Turkish Republic, Ankara has witnessed a strong process of cultural and spatial segregation. ‘The old’ Ankara recognized as backward on one side and ‘the new’ Ankara supposed to be the symbol of modernization on the other side have co-existed. One of the most important settlements of ‘the old’ Ankara was Altındağ. The mass immigration experienced in 1930’s intensively gave way to the appearance of barracks and squatter settlements, and brought out to the emergence of socially, culturally and economically differentiated settlements disassociated with the new and modern Ankara. The squatter settlements and socio-economic circumstances rising around these settlements between 1940 and 1950 were discussed in many articles by the newspapers of that period. This study will analyze the ‘Altındağ Röportajları’ in the Newspaper of Zafer, which strikingly reveal the main elements of the process of squatter housing.
