Urban planning doesn�t cover the groups labeled as "other". This article explains urban effects and violence experienced by the LGBTTs (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, and Transgender)while concealing their sexual orientation due to the public pressure besides, their struggle to be visible in Turkey and discusses the necessary/potential role of urban planning on these topics. The article will provide social and economic variables about LGBTT individuals living in a homophobic country, such as Turkey, and the spatial variables that will contribute to urban planning activities will be analyzed. The methodology of this study evaluates68 questionnaires done by Kaos-GL Association in Ankara and 155 questionnaires returned bythe Black-Pink Triangle Initiative in Izmir, between July and September 2012. The contribution of this study to the literature will be to ensure that the LGBTT individuals can be "as they are".

Keywords: LGBTT, Urban Planning, Concealment, Invisibility, Pressure, Violence.

�ehir planlama T�rkiye�de, ��teki� olarak nitelendirilen gruplar�n t�m�n� i�ermedi�inden, planlama herkes i�in yap�lamamaktad�r. Bu metin, �tekilerden biri olarak LGBTT bireylerin (Lezbiyen, Gey, Biseks�el, Transseks�el, Travesti) T�rkiye�de g�r�n�r olabilmelerinin yolunu a�abilmek i�in gizlenme, bask� g�rme, bask�lar� a�mada ya�ad�klar� kentin etkisi ve �iddet konular�na a��kl�k getirerek �ehir planlama mesle�inin bu konularda neler yapmas� gerekti�i/yapabilece�i konusunu tart��maya a�maktad�r. Metinde, homofobik bir �lke olan T�rkiye�de LGBTT bireylerle ilgili sosyal ve ekonomik de�i�kenler verilecek ve kent planlama �al��malar�na katk� sunacak mek�nsal de�i�kenler ayr��t�r�lmaya �al��lacakt�r. Temmuz-Eyl�l 2012 tarihleri aras�nda Ankara�da Kaos-GL Derne�i arac�l��yla 68; �zmir�de Siyah Pembe ��gen �nisiyatifi arac�l��yla yap�lan 155 anketin de�erlendirilmesi bu �al��man�n y�ntemini olu�turmaktad�r. Planlama kapsam�nda LGBTT bireylerin kendisi gibi olabilmeleri i�in yap�lacak �neriler, bu �al��man�n literat�re katk�s�n� olu�turacakt�r.
