The aim of this thesis is to understand the conservation and transformation problems of railway heritage and to prepare a conservation and transformation principles for Iskenderun railway area. Primarily, it is tried to understand the historical process and the current situation of conservation of railway areas. In addition, in this study theoretical and historical framework of transformation of railway areas is developed in the light of international charters and documents. Transformation examples from Turkey and Europe were searched with analyzing the railway system and transformation approaches of the countries. In order to prepare a conservation and transformation principles for Iskenderun terminus area, considering the direct relation of the railway site with the port site, a wide border including the port for the study area is chosen and a detailed analyzes were done for whole area. For this study, the major concern is establishing strong principles in different scales. It is important to guide each conservation and transformation projects in Turkey. For rooted solutions, regulations have to start in the transformation strategies and railway policy.

Making the "heart" of Russian territorialization: railways and Moscow railway stations Alptekin, Ali Haydar; Erkal, Namık Günay; Altan, Tomris Elvan; Department of History of Architecture (2010) This thesis aims to analyze the role of railways and railway stations in the construction of the capital city of an industrial empire with reference to the concept of “territorialization.” The main case is Russia, where the geographical factors are prominent in the creation of the economic, political, social and cultural structure of the country; and the focus of analysis is the city of Moscow, which acted as the center of this structure as connected to its territory by a developed system of railways. The c...
Prediction of ground borne vibrations due to railway traffic Alan, Salih; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016) The aim of this thesis is to analyze the ground borne vibrations originating from railway traffic. A numerical prediction model is developed and elements of the railway structure are analyzed for ground vibrations due to railway traffic. The proposed prediction model is a time domain three-dimensional model. Modal parameters of track-and-ground-coupled structure and railway vehicle are obtained by modal analyses. Impulse response functions are calculated from modal parameters. The vibration responses are pr...
Monorail : an alternative transportation mode for METU Gökbulut, Alev; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2003) The aim of this thesis is to investigate an alternative mode of transportation for METU and the impacts of spatial transformations generated by the proposed system in an architectural context. This study embraces modern concepts of space-time in the practice of architectural design, and involves a sensitive consideration of the perception of space relative to position, speed and movement. In an urban context, the thesis unfolds spatial transformations affected by new movement technology. While the notions o...
An approach for conservation of railway heritage; assessing and experiencing the İzmir-Aydın railway line Köşgeroğlu, Fahrettin Emrah; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Department of Architecture (2005) The aim of this thesis is to prepare a conservation project proposal for the first railway line in Anatolia which is the İzmir ا Aydın Railway Line constructed between 1856 and 1866. The historical, political and social background is included in to the subject as well as the recent international debates on railway heritage conservation which provides main frame for the thesis. Here, the problems regarding the Anatolian railway heritage will be defined and to develop a framework for the necessary conservatio...
Actors of change: railway projects and urban architecture of Balkan cities in the late Ottoman period Tozoğlu, Ahmet Erdem; Enginsoy Ekinci, Ayşe Sevil; Erkal, Namık Günay; Department of History of Architecture (2013) This dissertation examines the catalyst and inducer role of the Ottoman Balkan railways network in the urban architecture of the four selected cities in the late Ottoman period. These are Dedeağaç, Edirne-Karaağaç, Selanik and Manastır of the Ottoman Balkans which are explored in the context of railway actorship. On the basis of a comprehensive archival research, the study focuses on three actor positions to explain the themes of change in the architectural and urban sphere; and they are the state, the inte...
