@article{2017,title={SOCIOLOGICAL TRAJECTORIES OF SPATIAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE DAM REGION: THE CASE OF BORÇKA-KARŞIKOY},abstractNode={Dams occur as a social phenomenon rather than a physical phenomenon. Because the dams have sociological effects on the people living in the region in terms of the results they have produced. This study aims to understand the perception and attitudes of the people living in the dam zone to the dam, the changes that take place in the social structure due to the dam and the spatial transformation. For this purpose, Muratlı Dam located in the town of Borçka in Artvin and the people of Karşıköy located in this dam region constitute the basic investigation object of the study. In this context, in-depth interviews were conducted with a total of 6 people, 4 men and 2 women living in Karşıköy, through qualitative research method. As a result of the field survey, it was concluded that the barrage contains very different perceptions, attitudes and values in terms of the inhabitants of the region, transforms social construction and has different sociological trajectories of spatial transformation.},author={İlknur BEYAZ ÖZBEY},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
