In Turkey, although there are many similar implemented or ongoing conservation interventions, some of historic city centers are in better condition than other ones in terms of urban conservation. Conservation discourse describes the conservation of historic city centers as a shared and sustaining responsibility of various actors. At that point, locality is essential because of near and directs relations with historic environment. However, there are basic problems to develop a synergy based on shared responsibilities of local actors in historic centers. Therefore, the study focuses on the question of “What is the role of local conservation capacity in the maintenance of historic city centers as a governance process”. The study essentially discusses two issues, local conservation capacity, which is determined as an amalgam term of capabilities of local authority and local community, and urban maintenance, which is used in widening context to determines not only rehabilitation projects, but also interventions of local community let to survive of historic buildings. The method of the study is established as a comparative structure bases on case study researches. Comparisons are made between varying levels of local conservation capacity to determine their relations with success in urban maintenance. As a result, in defined context, the historic city centers of Gaziantep and Şanlıurfa are studied as case study areas to evaluate success in urban maintenance as a function of local governance in terms of local conservation capacity.

To prevent these problems, they need to be 'upgraded' to the contemporary life, while sustaining their values and cultural significance. During this 'upgrading' process, the most common and important problems are faced with during the re-functioning of t...

Belge, Burak (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2012-12-1)

It will be possible to strike the right balance provided that the archaeological resources are evaluated and considered in each stage of the planning and development process. At that point, urban archaeology is considered as an interdisciplinary field of study that evaluates the cultural...

Çolak, Merve; Serin, Ufuk; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2019)
Interactions between traditional rural architecture, the natural environment surrounding it, and the socio-cultural characteristics of the local community using it have all long been debated in terms of the conservation of cultural heritage. However, understanding the human beings and nature, and the tangible and intangible values that emerge as a result of interactions between them as a whole, within the concept of the ‘historical rural landscape’, have become a current issue as a consequence of the incorp...
