    Yaratıcı sınıfın şehirlerde yaşam ve iş yeri tercihleri: İstanbul örneği
    (PressAcademia, 2016-04-01) Falcıoğlu, Pınar; Kurtoğlu, Ali Levent
    Yaratıcı Sınıf Kuramı ekonomik gelişmenin öncüsü olarak işlerden, mesleklerden veya şirketlerden ziyade, kişileri ortaya koyan, iyi gelişmiş insan sermayesini ekonomik büyümenin ana etkenlerinden biri olarak kabul eden modern bir anlayış üzerine kurulmuştur. Kuram, değişen şehri ve şehir sakinlerini tanımlayarak farklı bir bakış açısı getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, İstanbul’da yaşayan, lider, yönetici, girişimci, bilim insanı ve sanatçılardan oluşan yaratıcı sınıfla yapılmış bir anketin verilerinden yola çıkılarak, gelişmiş işgücünün coğrafi alanda dağılımı ve işyeri, yaşam yeri tercihlerini hangi etkenlere göre belirlediği araştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar yaratıcı sınıfın ağırlıklı olarak geniş iş imkanları nedeniyle büyük şehirde ikamet etmeyi tercih ettiğini ve şehir içinde yerleşiminin oldukça dağınık olduğunu göstermektedir. İşyeri ve yaşam yeri tercihleri ile ilgili olarak elde edilen bulgular kültürel çeşitlilik, sosyal olanaklar, konfor alanlarının varlığı gibi yumuşak etkenlerin tercih yapmada rolünü ortaya koymakta ve Yaratıcı Sınıf Kuramını doğrulamaktadır. Ayrıca, sonuçlar çeşitli altgruplarda farklı etkenlerin etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Elde edilen bulguların şehir ve işgücü planlaması ile ilgili olarak gerek politik alanda gerek iş alanında yapılacak uygulamalara yön vermesi hedeflenmektedir.
