Experiencing the corona effect in the city square through Lefebvre's spatial trialectic: the case of Afyonkarahisar

The aim of the study is to filter the behavioural and spatial practices of subjects who experience/practice the square with respect to Lefebvre's trialectic space approach and place them to an analytic plane in the context of reading the dynamics in the city square of Afyonkarahisar during the corona days when decisions and prohibitions taken by the government are applied. The article is an experimental study and important data regarding the space-oriented practices and dynamics in Afyonkarahisar city square during the corona days have been obtained by adopting monitoring/observing and experiencing methods and reading the theoretical and conceptual framework of Lefebvre's spatial approach theory related to the literature review. Images, actions, government policies and behavioural patterns of people in the square on the determined important dates have been accepted as empirical findings of the field study. Findings that have been obtained have been read again through subjects who experience/practice Afyonkarahisar urban square during the coronavirus pandemic in the context of Lefebvre's trialectic space approach.
