Towns continuously need a controlled change and development so that they can sustain their existence in future. Changes in towns and conservation of traces of the past are also part of this process and there must be a balance between them. Each new intervention, which is conscious of the past of the town, preserves its underground and over ground heritage and contributes to the enrichment of the contemporary town. However, some interventions do not conserve traces of the past and are not in harmony with urban settlement in Turkey. Consequently, these interventions include a high variety of problems, and harm the identity of urban archaeological areas. Today in Turkey, similar interventions are seen in 3rd degree archaeological sites where new development is allowed. Therefore, the aim of the study is to define the process, design criteria and methods for new interventions while conserving archaeological remains in situ in order to guide design stages. This study is based on literature and archival studies, researches on study are and legal framework in Turkey. By utilizing proposed methodology, proposals for case study and contributions to existing legal framework in Turkey are aimed. In the study, Bergama where the archaeological and urban settlement co-exists is selected as study area. Focusing on this aim, the study is structured in two main parts. The first part focuses on new intervention in urban archaeological context. A methodology for new interventions while conserving archaeological remains in situ is proposed in this part. The second part focuses on 3rd degree archaeological site in Bergama. In this part, the proposed methodology is applied to Bergama. As a result, the process, design criteria and methods are defined in detail for new interventions while conserving archaeological remains in situ in Bergama. Additionally, considering all of these, contributions to the existing legal documents related with this subject are presented.

Principles for conservation of an industrial heritage place: Ankara Sugar Factory campus in Etimesgut
Öztürk, Merve; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2019)
The industrial areas established by the state in early years of Republican Period were founded not only to provide economic and industrial development, but also to direct social transformation aiming to create a modern Turkey. Therefore, industrial areas reflect the economic social and spatial context of the time they were established, and the culture of production. It is necessary to determine and assess the values of these areas so as to define why and how to conserve and transfer them to future generatio...
Reintegration of an inner-city industrial heritage to the wider urban context: the case of Cermodern
Şanlı, Hakan; Gedikli, Bahar; Department of City and Regional Planning (2016)
With the globalization process, cities have to keep pace with the structural transformation in global economy. The changing industrial production types have resulted in changes in land uses of the cities. In these sense, abandoned inner-city industrial areas have become important urban design problems. These areas actually constitute the majority of “lost spaces” defined by Trancik (1986). In the last few decades, the architectural intervention and redevelopment of these abandoned innercity industrial areas...
Revealing and restrengthening the relation of memory places and heritage places: the case of the Hisarbaşı neighborhood in Milas
Usta, Esra Nur; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2018)
Most of the towns are the outcome of a continual historical development process, reflected as the existence of components of different layers in the contemporary urban space. Life and experiences of the inhabitants take place in this multilayered urban space. Hence, the existing urban space keeps history and personal stories alive. This coherence constitutes a relation between memories in minds of people and traces in their physical environment. The mnemonic effect of physical environment leads to identity,...
A Tale of Ulus square: a critical assessment of continuity, transformation and change in a historic public open space in Ankara
Ayhan Koçyiğit, Elif Selena; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2018)
Historic cities – which are complex entities formed by continuous interaction between physical and human environment – are under the threat of rapid transformation due to the domestic and global economy and politics. As inseparable components of historic cities, public open spaces are one of the most vulnerable elements of this transformation. The lack of a detailed definition of historic public open spaces and a method for their conservation in current laws and regulations in Turkey, result in the rapid lo...
Changing sense of place in historic city centers : the case of Antalya Kaleiçi
Argın, Görsev; Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2012)
Nowadays, many cities try to turn their historic city centers into centers of attraction both for inhabitants and visitors by reorganizing and revitalizing them. These reorganization and revitalization processes change the users of the place as well as its physical structure. Thus, this change also creates deep impacts on human-place relationship. Traces of these impacts can be observed via ‘sense of place’ and ‘place image’ concepts. Studying these concepts is difficult due to their subjectivity; however, ...
