The thesis puts forward the problematic situation in the very urban center of Ankara with an
analytical method to investigate the roots of several problems. Building its argument on historical
facts, in depth observations, and political, social, and urban analysis, it proposes a rational basis
for the rehabilitation of 19 Mayis Sports District, mainly focusing on the means of elevating the
physical quality through the capacity of social inclusion concerning the sports activity settings
and places in the region. All in all, the basic argument stands on the belief that the spatial basis of
the 19 Mayis Sports District and the neighboring urban tissue around it might be re-defined and
rehabilitated, if only its historical, political, ideological, and socio-cultural bases are redefined.
Therefore, the study searches for rehabilitation of the 19 Mayis Sports District in Ulus, Ankara,
by adapting and integrating sports with other cultural collective practices, and defining it as an
alternative life-style for citizens. Because the district lays on the second division of Atatü / rk
Culture Center Region, a sports culture and its policy should be defined and designed for to
amend that division of the region by preparing a principal master plan for the region and for the
division.
