Özet:

 The Early Republican Period was a transition from traditional culture and life to modern life. This process of change and transformation, experienced in almost every aspect of life at the beginning of the twentieth century, also manifested itself in social life, urban space, and the field of architecture. In particular, the empowering role of woman as individual and its effects on social relations significantly affected daily life and, thus, the most basic living unit, housing space. During this period, the new concept of housing, associated with the image of modern, educated, and social woman, was also widely featured in the print media, which considered it its duty to teach modern life to society. When the culture, art, and life-themed magazines of the period are analysed, it is seen that there were many contents in which modern housing design, interior arrangement, and furniture choices were associated with the theme of modern woman. This draws attention to the fact that the house was considered a reflection of the new living culture rather than a place of shelter, and the woman was regarded as the representation of this culture. In this context, this study aims to investigate the relationship between the concept of modern housing and the image of woman in the Early Republic through the magazine contents of the period. In the study, Muhit, Ev Kadın, Ev İş, Yıldız, and Yedigün magazines, which were popular publications of the period, were examined. As a result of the study, it was determined that the woman was generally accepted as the primary user and decision-maker of the house in the contents. Furthermore, it has been observed that the details, spatial suggestions, and furniture preferences of the new housing design were expressed through modern women-themed images and discourses.

 Erken Cumhuriyet Dönemi, geleneksel kültür ve yaşamdan modern yaşama bir geçiş niteliği taşır. Yirminci yüzyılın başında, hayatın hemen her alanında hissedilen bu değişim ve dönüşüm süreci, toplumsal yaşamda, kent mekânında ve mimarlık alanında da kendisini göstermiştir. Özellikle, kadının birey olarak güçlenen rolü ve bunun sosyal ilişkilerdeki etkileri, günlük yaşamı ve dolayısı ile en temel yaşam birimi olan konut mekanını önemli ölçüde etkilemiştir. Bu dönemde, modern, eğitimli ve sosyal yaşamda var olan kadın imajı ile ilişkilendirilen yeni konut anlayışı, topluma modern yaşamı öğretmeyi görev bilen yazılı medyada da çokça yer almıştır. Dönemin kültür, sanat, yaşam temalı dergileri incelendiğinde modern konut tasarımı, iç mekân düzenlemesi ve mobilya seçimlerinin modern kadın temasıyla ilişkilendirildiği pek çok içeriğin yer aldığı görülmektedir. Bu da konutun barınma mekânı olmaktan öte, yeni yaşam kültürünün bir yansıması, kadının ise bu kültürün temsili olarak değerlendirildiğine dikkat çekmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada, Erken Cumhuriyetin modern konut anlayışı ve kadın imajı ilişkisinin, dönemin dergi içerikleri üzerinden araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, dönemin popüler yayınlarından Muhit, Ev Kadın, Ev İş, Yıldız ve Yedigün dergileri incelenmiştir. Yapılan çalışma sonucunda, içeriklerde genel olarak kadının evin birincil kullanıcısı ve karar vericisi olarak kabul edildiği belirlenmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra, yeni konut tasarımına dair detayların, mekânsal önerilerin ve mobilya tercihlerinin, modern kadın temalı görseller ve söylemler aracılığı ile ifade edildiği görülmüştür.
