    Throughout history, city squares have been the scene of various political and social events and have assumed political functions. The political ideology that forms the basis of spatial formation and the social opposition to it have necessitated the transformation of urban spaces. The dialectical relationship between space and social movements has been decisive in the transformation of squares into spaces of representation with their spatial and imaginary aspects. After Ankara was declared the capital, it underwent a rapid urbanization process in the light of the nation state ideology, and urban spaces were constructed with this approach. While determining the sample area of the thesis, the city squares designed on the same urban axis along Atatürk Boulevard, where social movements were experienced most intensely and where spatial formation was reproduced by adapting to changing political ideologies, were selected. The research area of the thesis is Ulus, Zafer and Kızılay Squares, which are the three squares that represent the representation of Republican Ankara and where the most intense social movements took place in the city of Ankara. The aim of the thesis, to analyze the changing symbolic meaning of Ulus, Zafer and Kızılay Square on the basis of spatial formation and social movements. To this end, the thesis aims to read the symbolic meaning of urban squares on the basis of spatial formation and social movements reproduced by political ideologies. In the study, the Republican Era divided into four sub-sections: 1923-1950, 1950-1980, 1980-2000 and after-2000. Breakpoints in political economy decisions and urban policies were taken into account in the subdivisions. The research was conducted in two phases. For each period, the spatial formation and social movements of Ulus, Zafer and Kızılay Squares are presented; the symbolic meaning of the squares are compared within each period and the three squares are compared with each other on a period basis in the light of the evaluations determined as a result. In the spatial analysis of the squares, planning and construction data, visuals, and digital aerial photographs of the periods obtained by the General Directorate of Mapping of the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Turkey were used. From 1923 to the present day, Ulus, Zafer and Kızılay Squares have increasingly lost their cultural, bureaucratic, political and social functions, and the spaces have been fragmented and detached from their gathering function. In each period, squares have been reproduced and reproduced spatially, functionally and imaginatively. Spatial transformation and social movements took place simultaneously. The intensity of the protests was observed in Ulus Square between 1923-1950; in Zafer Square between 1960-1980; and in Kızılay Square between 1970- 1990. In addition to their place in urban memory, the place of squares in social memory has also been eroded. Although the squares have suffered spatial damage today, they still continue to be representational spaces of Republican Ankara.
