In Turkey, the immovable cultural properties are conserved by being listed either as single units or as conservation zones in accordance with relative laws and regulations. This legal registration restricts the development rights of these immovable estates. While the owner of the immovable looses the development and the productive rights over his estate, he is also undertaken the maintenance, repair and restoration responsibilities of the building. The purpose of this study is to analyze the achievements and the deficiencies of the financial aids supplied for maintenance, repair and restoration of cultural properties in Turkey, to survey possible contributions of new financial instruments which have been came into force with the last legal arrangements and to make policies for strengthening the present instruments while new financial instruments are also proposed.

Financing the Preservation of Historical Buildings in Turkey
Ulusan, Evrim; Ersoy, Melih (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2018-1-01)
According to the Turkish legal system, immovable cultural properties are identified either as single properties or conservation areas. Once registered as cultural heritage by the state, development rights on immovable properties are strictly restricted, and the owner is responsible for the building’s maintenance, repair and restoration costs. Since maintenance expenses of a building increase with time, owners of historic buildings eventually face greater financial burdens than most can bear, resulting in th...
CLASSIFICATION OF SENSITIVE AND LESS SENSITIVE AREAS ALONG THE AEGEAN COASTAL AREAS OF TURKEY

In the last few decades, due to an enormous increase in urbanization, industrialization and tourism activities, the risk of eutrophication has been gradually gaining more significance, especially for the closed and semi-closed bays in Turkey.
Numerical simulation of germencik geothermal field
Hamendi, Ahmed; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2009)
The Germencik Omerbeyli geothermal field is considered to be one of the most important geothermal fields in Turkey. A numerical modeling study was carried out to simulate the response of the field to different production/injection scenarios. The reservoir performance evaluation was based on the numerical simulation of the reservoir behavior using the simulation code TOUGH2. The numerical simulation model includes a total area of 85.8 km2 and extends from the surface at +330 m msl (mean sea level) to a depth...
Modeling of lithology induced chemical anomalies in the aquifer systems of the Kazan Trona deposit area, Ankara, Turkey
Çamur, Mehmet Zeki; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2008-04-01)
The study was carried out in order to investigate existing hydrogeochemical relationships between groundwater environment and geological units in the Kazan trona deposit area, Ankara, Turkey. Evaluations indicate that concentrations of alkalinity, boron, chloride and sodium in the upgradient groundwater of the Eocene sedimentary units gradually increase toward downgradient by the interactions of saline minerals (searlesite, shortite, northupite and pyrite) present in the secondary structures (microfractures...
Observations on earthquake resistance of traditional timber-framed houses in Turkey
Şahin Güçhan, Neriman (Elsevier BV, 2007-02-01)
The aim of this study is to establish the earthquake behaviour of traditional timber-framed houses in Turkey and their technical features to serve as a guide in their conservation. This paper first discusses the destructive effects of changing settlement patterns on the traditional building stock and explores earthquake damage on traditional Turkish buildings, analysing the 1894-İstanbul, 1970-Gediz and finally 1999-Kocaeli earthquakes. A short definition is then provided of timber-framed building methods i...
