Towns can be regarded as the existing physical witnesses of the superimposition of different periods. In their formation process, each civilization reshapes the urban form of the towns in relation to the remains of the previous periods. However, changing conditions and context in time cause changes in the physical form through transformations, additions and removals. This process are resulted with losing some components and consequently the integrity of the towns. Disintegration brings the fragmentation and components of the town become alienated from urban context. Therefore, the main concern of this thesis is the “fragmented” remains those lost their unity together with their meaning in urban context. Regarding this, Side and Selimiye village that faces the same problem is studied for this subject. Side is a town where traditional buildings of Crete Island immigrants from Ottoman Period and archaeological monuments, remains from Roman, Byzantine periods exist in current context physically together. However, they do not have relation not only with each other but also in the current context and became “fragmented”. Within this scope, the main aim of this thesis is re-integrating the fragmented remains those lost their identity in the current town and providing perceptibility in this physical context. In this regard, the study is handled in three main sections. In the first part, analysis and determinations about Side is presented. For this analysis process, the historical development of Side, the history of planning, the researches and current conditions are examined. In this scope, old maps, new-old aerial photos, new-old photos, base maps, master plans, excavations and projects are collected and studied. At the same time, written documents are benefitted with a comprehensive literature research. In the next part, the evaluations related to the analysis are produced. In the last part, a proposal for presentation and preservation principles with an integrated point of view on the basis of the conceptual framework are developed.

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,...

Conservation history of cultural heritage in Kaleiçi district in Antalya (from the 20th century to present day) / Çelik Başok, Gülşah; Bakırer, Ömür; Gökce, Fuat; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2016) Historical urban sites are outputs of physical formation of the various social, cultural, economical and political relations in the urban space. During conservation of the historical urban sites, site should be handled as a historical and cultural whole. In this context, before conservation studies and during the process of producing conservation decisions, handling only the present physical situation of the historical urban fabric and generating decisions only on physical structure is not sufficient for an...
