The intensive urban construction and urban planning that does not prioritize cultural heritage in Turkey, pose a significant threat to the preservation of archaeological heritage in urban environments, which indeed requires a comprehensive, interdisciplinary and participatory conservation approach. This thesis aims to address heritage conservation in the context of urban archaeology and digital public archaeology. It discusses the potential of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in establishing a digital inventory, conservation of cultural heritage and public outreach and concretizes the argument by a pilot study on Ulus, Ankara. By exposing the multi-layered character of the city through mapping the archaeological heritage of the Phrygian and Roman periods it foremost aims to bring together a digital content of both cultural layers, which is articulated to serve as a platform for public engagement. Representing an initial working attempt, this digital inventory is open for further elaboration and revision.
