Özet
The aim of this study is to compare the lives of families in Denizkoy (115 households) and Yenikent Village (132 households) who were influenced by one of the Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP-SAP) dams before and after they were resettled by the state 'out of the region.' By focusing on rural and urban characteristics, the purpose of this analytical comparison is to identify the cultural pattern formed by their (dis)integration to the regions where they resettled. The questions this essay addresses are: If the construction of a dam is inevitable for the development of the state and the region, is it possible to make a balance between the winners and the losers in terms of social costs? If so, in what ways can this balance be made? We aim to examine the notion of sustainable development from the perspective of those directly influenced by the Karakaya Dam who were subject to rural resettlement out of the region. Within this context, we conducted interviews with people from 200 households (100 from each village). The data was collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews.
