Pattensen, Turkeyen (Sophia)
Pattensen, Turkeyen (Sophia) is an area of Georgetown, Guyana.
The area developed during 1986, when land previously used for the cultivation of rice and rearing of fish began to be occupied. The area was called “farmers field” since it was used mainly for farming. However, a few years later almost 400 persons had moved into the area. It was all swamp and mud when persons decided to use the area for housing.〔From a squatter settlement to a housing scheme http://www.gina.gov.gy/archive/features/f040903.html〕 Even though settling on the land was considered illegal at the time, persons continued to occupy the land and by 1985-1991, bridges creating linkages to other sections east, now known as Liliendaal and Pattensen (south) were constructed. Soon the area became known as one of the largest “squatter” settlements. This caught the attention of law enforcement officials who started a campaign to restrict persons from expanding. However, zeal for development and property ownership coupled with predominantly vulnerable, low income women and men who needed land and a place to call home resulted in mobilization and lobbying by “squatters” for the regularization of the area. Persistence and determination resulted in the area becoming one of the largest squatting settlements in the country to be converted into a housing scheme commonly known as “Sophia”.
==Geography==
Sophia is located in Georgetown, Guyana and encompasses a large area bounded by the Downer Street Canal in the East, the Eastern Highway and Ganges Street in the West, the Lamaha conservancy in the South and the railway embankment as the northern boundary. However, Lilliendaal (south), Pattensen (south), Turkeyen (south) and Cummings Park are areas east of Sophia that are all included for the sake of “common ground” whenever Sophia is thought of as a catchment area.
