Accordingly, this thesis focuses on use of memory as a tool for conservation and aims at defining a methodology for revealing memories of heritage place, assessing relation of memory space and urban space, proposing strategies for re-integrating memories with heritage places. For this, thesis focuses on oral history researches as an identification method of the memory places.

We argue that memory provides direct access to our past experiences which one immediately appropriates, in contrast to imputing our un...
