Abstract (2. Language): 
In this paper, the basic concepts commonly used in the discussions of urban poverty are briefly examined. As a result of this examination, the main aim of this study is to provide guidance to the general reader with no mastery of the literature of the concepts used in the analysis related to the problem of urban poverty; on the other hand, to provide introductory information for those researchers recently interested in the literature. It is because the arbitrary usage of some of the concepts related to poverty such as the interchangeable use of underclass and lower-class, similar to all other conceptualizations, invalidates the efforts trying to understand and explain them. Therefore, there certainly is a need to decide whether foreign concepts borrowed from different cultural contexts are usable to describe domestic facts and cases.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu yazıda, kentsel yoksulluk tartışmalarında sıklıkla kullanılan temel kavramlar kısaca gözden geçirilmektedir. Bu gözden geçirme çalışması neticesinde, bir yandan kentsel yoksulluk sorunuyla ilgili analizlerde kullanılan kavramlar konusunda literatüre vukufu olmayan genel okuyucuya rehberlik edilmesi; diğer yandan, literatüre yeni ilgi duyan araştırmacılar için giriş mahiyetinde bir ön bilgi oluşturulması hedeflenmektedir. Zira diğer tüm kavramlaştırmalarda olduğu gibi, yoksullukla ilgili bazı kavramaların gelişi güzel kullanımı, örneğin, "sınıf-altı" ile "alt-sınıf"ın bir birinin yerine ikâmesi gibi, anlamak ve açıklamak yönünde sürdürülen çabaları boşa çıkarmaktadır. Dolayısıyla, farklı kültürel bağlamlardan tevarüs edilmiş yabancı kavramların, yerli olgu ve olayları tanımlamaya elverişli olup olmadığının tartışılmasına ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır.
