As you know, the earthquakes, the epicenter of which we experienced on February 6, in Kahramanmaraş, affected our lives in many ways. Of course, we see an effect of this situation in the upcoming elections. For example, rallies are not as loud as they used to be or are not held.
Of course, we do not all attend these rallies where the leaders of the political parties explain their promises and goals, or we only attend the rally of the party we feel close to. For this reason, we are all in one area. unwillingness to meet It doesn’t even seem likely.
If we could all put aside our personal opinions and disagreements, maybe we really do. gathering of all of us in one placeI may be possible. So how much space would we need for this?
Let’s start from Yenikapı Square.
Yenikapi Square, Established on an area of 673 thousand m²; It is divided into many sections such as meeting and event areas. Now let’s imagine that we have filled this whole area with people.
Although the maximum number of people varies in different sources for the area allocated in Yenikapı, approximately 3-3.5 million people can fit in with a little squeeze we can say. In other words, when we fill Yenikapı Square with people, we can calculate the number of people per square meter.
In the scenario where 3 million people fit in Yenikapı, if we change the numbers and include all of Turkey; in such a case 4.45 people per m² will fall.
When we divide Turkey’s population by the number of people per square meter, we can find the total area we need. This too 4.450.000 people per 1 km² It means it will fall. That means a crowd as you can see above.
as face measurement The area we cover is 19.05 km² doing. This means that we need an area of 28 thousand Yenikapı size for such a rally. To better understand how big this is, let’s compare it to some of our cities. For example; this area is our largest city by area (40,838 km²). It is 1 out of 2,138 of Konya.
Let’s try different alternatives. For example, what happens when we fit a maximum of 6 people per square meter?
When we calculate over 6 people per square meter, we need total area 14.13 km² will be. This is about 1,978 football fields It means. Compared to the previous account we made, we save more space. However, in this case people packed like sardines it should stop.
When 6 people per 1 square meter, there will be a crowd as follows. That means 600 people per 100 m² and looks like this:
If we want people to breathe a little easier and watch the rally in larger areas…
For example, let’s say there are 3 people per square meter. In this case we need about 28 km² will be. This too The size of 41 thousand Yenikapı Square It means an area. However, even this area will cover a very small area compared to Turkey’s total surface area.
If we give an example again; our smallest city in terms of area 28.5 meeting areas of this size in Yalova we can fit.
In such a case, people will be lined up in this jam:
There is not such a large meeting area in our country; even if it was already gathering all of us in one place still would not be possible. Because it seems that the differences of opinion we experience on many issues will continue to separate and divide us.
We are moving step by step towards an important election. For this reason, perhaps it is the right time for us to listen to and respect our ideas, at least without discriminating against each other. “Let’s all gather in a rally area, even a single political party” We’re not saying that, it was just an assumption we worked on in our content. However, at least we need to accept that there may be people with different opinions, and knowing this, we need to be able to stand ‘together’.
