The urbanization problems encountered by Turkey over the last 50 years have also caused deep-rooted problems in other sectors. This study examined the transformation processes that ultimately created the squatter communities and the illegal housing areas in Turkey during the post-1980s. To provide an objective picture of the transformation processes in those areas, two different samples were selected because different transformation processes emerged in different squatter areas in which the same improvement plan was applied. We investigated the Ankara-Çankaya and Izmir-Konak municipalities to determine the effects of market-based urban transformation processes on the organizational structure of individuals and constructors in the squatter communities and illegal housing areas where the improvement plans were applied.
