Özet:

 As a place where Muslims gather to worship, mosques are one of the basic structures of the religious architecture group. In Islamic architecture, mosques, which are built in the very center of the settlement area, also play an important role in the shaping process of the settlement area. Therefore, the size of mosques, their architectural structure, the place where they will be built, the spaces to be found within them and similar issues have been important for Muslims in every period. In order for a mosque to meet the functions it should have at a reasonable level, the most prioritized issue is the choice of location. Because mosques, whose location selection is made in a correct and healthy way, continue to exist for a longer period of time. This study aims to determine suitable locations for mosques by using the GIS-based BWM method in the case of Tekirdag city. The urban area was delimited according to both urban and rural neighborhoods in the vicinity, taking into account possible expansion areas in the near future. The study is important both in terms of evaluating the suitability of existing mosques and determining suitable locations for new mosques. Within the scope of the study, the location information of 62 existing mosques in Tekirdag city was first mapped. Then, according to the Mosque Planning and Design Guidelines, 9 different parameters related to environmental and spatial characteristics affecting mosque site selection were identified. These parameters were evaluated using the best-worst method. The results of the study showed that spatial parameters are more effective in the urban area, while environmental parameters are more effective in the possible expansion areas of the city in the near future. It is thought that these results, which give a direct idea about the site selection characteristics of mosques in Tekirdag city, will play a guiding role in the planning process of new mosques.

 Müslümanların ibadet etmek için toplandığı bir mekân olarak camiler, dinî mimari grubunun temel yapılarındandır. İslam mimarisinde yerleşim alanının tam merkezine inşa edilen camiler, aynı zamanda yerleşim alanının şekillenme sürecinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Dolayısıyla camilerin büyüklüğü, mimari yapısı, inşa edileceği yer, bünyesinde bulunacak mekanlar ve benzeri konular Müslümanlar için her dönemde önemli olmuştur. Bir caminin sahip olması gereken fonksiyonları makul düzeyde karşılaması için en öncelikli konu yer seçimidir. Zira yer seçimi doğru ve sağlıklı bir şekilde yapılan camiler, daha uzun süre varlığını sürdürmektedir. Bu çalışmada Tekirdağ şehri örneğinde CBS tabanlı BWM yöntemi kullanılarak cami için uygun yerlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Şehirsel alan, yakın gelecekteki muhtemel genişleme alanları göz önünde bulundurularak hem kentsel hem de yakın çevresindeki kırsal mahallelere göre sınırlandırılmıştır. Çalışma hem mevcut camilerin yer seçimi uygunluğunun değerlendirilmesi hem de yeni yapılacak camiler için uygun yerlerin belirlenmesi bakımından önem taşır. Çalışma kapsamında öncelikle Tekirdağ şehrindeki mevcut 62 caminin konum bilgisi haritalandırılmıştır. Daha sonra Cami Planlama ve Tasarımı Kılavuzuna göre cami yer seçimini etkileyen çevresel ve konumsal özelliklerle ilgili 9 farklı parametre tespit edilmiştir. Bu parametreler, en iyi-en kötü yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları şehirsel alanda daha çok konumsal, şehrin yakın gelecekteki muhtemel genişleme alanlarında ise çevresel parametrelerin daha fazla etkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Tekirdağ şehrindeki camilerin yer seçim özellikleriyle ilgili doğrudan fikir veren bu sonuçlarının yeni yapılacak camilerin planlama sürecinde yol gösterici rol oynayacağı düşünülmektedir.
