Urban Citizens’ Rights in the Context of Urban Regeneration: The Case of Samsun-Canik Kuzey Yildizi Urban Regeneration Project

Summary/Abstract: Studies on urban regeneration based on urban citizens’ rights are quite limited. In this study, which addresses these two important variables together, the aim is to examine urban regeneration practices in the context of urban citizens’ rights. The study is structured around the question of whether the principles and values of urban citizens’ rights can establish a more holistic approach within the policy-making process regarding urban regeneration. The research area is the “Kuzey Yıldızı Urban Regeneration Project” which is considered the largest urban regeneration project in the Black Sea Region, located in the Canik District of Samsun Province. The research method used is a mixed-method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative data. Data collection tools include survey, semi-structured interviews, observation, and archive document review techniques. The collected data have been transferred into the text and interpreted using frequency and proportional distribution, along with descriptive analysis. The study found that urban regeneration has both positive and negative effects on sixteen different urban citizens’ rights variables. In light of the research findings, it was concluded that a more holistic regeneration practice could be created by strengthening the social aspect of urban regeneration, which could have significant effects and contributions for urban citizens’ rights.
