The need and challenge of sustaining industrial beings is a recent phenomenon. Hence the approaches in this regard are not yet profoundly defined to manage the protection and restoration of those beings. In this respect, this thesis searches for an integrated approach for sustaining industrial structures, sites, and landscapes which are typically significant for their heritage value in the urban context. To develop a thematically consolidated integrated framework, the study investigated ‘conceptual’, ‘typological’, ‘analytical’, and ‘operational’ basis of the subject matter. This is maintained by scrutinizing the practicalities of the (western) countries that have already formulated advanced policies. The conceptual basis of the issue is revealed by examining the changing urban dynamics; the debate over ‘continuity’ versus ‘change’; main value typologies of the heritage resources and the process of obsolescence in the life-span of industrial beings. Taxonomy for the structures and spaces that constitute the object matter of the thesis formed the basis of an integral typology. This is supported by the specification of the characteristics of industrial beings and the opportunities they offer in the urban context. Correspondingly, strategic approaches and modes of intervention relevant for the different types of industrial beings are examined. The study exposed the analytical framework by assessing industrial beings according to diversity of functions, basic change of use, spatial scale of the projects, types of intervention and the design approaches. The scope of the issue in Turkey is revealed by identifying the present policy framework in accordance with the legislative and instrumental measures. This is complemented by an inventory for the significant industrial heritage sites. The findings demonstrated the particularity of the problematic in Turkey; the distinctive factors behind the emergence of obsolescence; the extremely divergent attitudes to and interests in obsolete industrial beings, as well as the complexity of the industrial sites. As a final task, the application(s) for the industrial sites along The Golden Horn were investigated. The Golden Horn case has also confirmed that such an integrated approach is required to protect and enhance industrial beings. In this manner the basic components of an integrated program considering the sites in the urban context and as problem areas of urban design are specified.

An Assessment on the link between sustainability and urban form : the case of Gaziantep
Yılmaz, Şeyda; Kayasü, Serap; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2014)
Sustainability ensures a better quality of life and more sustainable world environment now and in the future. Our climate is constantly changing due to some human induced factors. These changes have negative effects on the environment and human life. Lasting solutions to this global problem can only be achieved by sustainability. Climate change is acknowledged as a serious environmental problem. In recent years, researchers have found a close link between climate change and cities. On the one hand, it is a ...
An approach to urban river rehabilitation for coexistence of river and its respective city: Porsuk river case and city of Eskişehir
Şimşek, Gül; Şenyapılı, Tansı; Department of City and Regional Planning (2011)
All living things mostly the humans, as builders of civilizations, have always been in intrinsic bonds with water. This interaction between water (oceans, seas, lakes, rivers etc.) and settlements has existed since ancient civilizations. Among water resources, ‘flowing waters’ such as rivers, streams, creeks, etc. have a prominent role as they are the lifeblood of most cities in terms of providing transportation, security, energy, irrigation, commerce, and recreation. By the late 19th century, developments ...
An Assessment of energy efficient and climate sensitive urban design principles: design proposals for residential city blocks in temperate arid and hot humid regions
Karagöz, Damla; Balaban, Osman; Barlas, Mehmet Adnan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2016)
Environmental problems caused by urbanization and industrialization processes have almost irreversibly damaged the ecological balance in the natural environment. In the 21st century, when half of the worlds population has become urban, the links between urbanization and environmental problems gained more attention and the search for measures and solutions to address the negative impacts of urban development on natural environment increased. Global warming and climate change, the major challenges that contem...
Mapping subjective urban imagery: montage of movement-image and time-image –the case of Kızılay
Balkanay, Ezgi; Sargın, Güven Arif; Department of Architecture (2014)
Mobility in modern society creates a simulative perception of the self and its environment. Such perceptions create subjective urban images of individuals from various socio-cultural backgrounds in their everyday life. While this mobility can be viewed as an invisible dimension when utilizing conventional methods that can only represent one frozen moment of space, urban imagery has political potentials of fluidity related to “time” and “movement”. Since subjective urban images are constructed through the di...
An assessment and re-identification of the rural heritage site of Santa (Dumanlı köy, Gümüşhane)
Abay, Pelin; Serin, Ufuk; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2023-1-03)
Since the Industrial Revolution, rural landscapes, the product of the mutual relationship of human beings and nature, have witnessed a process of depopulation throughout the world for a variety of reasons. The Population Exchange between Turkey and Greece in 1923 (1923 Türkiye-Yunanistan Nüfus Mübadelesi) – one of the reasons for the depopulation of rural areas in Turkey – had major repercussions on both the immigrant Turks and emigrant Rums, as well as on the rural settlements and landscapes. These r...
