The cotton-based industrial sites that effected urban development of Adana since the middle of the 19th century, were being persisted in the city center due to the extension of the urban area. Vast majority of cotton-based industry sites, that varying types of production occurred, having diverse area sizes and locations, and built in different periods, were ceased production or/and demolished. The three of the current sites were registered as cultural property and only one of them is being conserved. These conditions show that industrial heritage and heritage values are not appreciated adequately. This study aims to determine the heritage values of industrial sites at the study area, within ‘value assessment of cultural heritage’ and ‘industrial heritage’ conceptual frameworks. To reach this aim, following the research and examination of the conceptual framework, research and field studies were done to collect information about the case study. The study area was determined according to the distribution of industrial sites that were densely located in the urban area. The industrial sites were identified and building sheets were produced as inventory in this study. Due to varying characteristics of the sites, they were analyzed by classification and mappings of these classifications. Later present sites that ceased functioning were selected and examined regarding the buildings on these sites. Finally, cultural heritage values were defined within the light of these research and analyses, in order to guide decisions and studies about the conservation of cotton-based industrial heritage in Adana.

For a district like Ayvalık, which has a very strong industrial history, depot buildings are located within the historic commercial area and they are the heritage of the production process in the memories of inhabitants. This thesis offers a flexible modular design solution for the interiors of depot buildings and conserves them without intervening in historic building structures. With this approach, it is aimed to use the buildings as a shell and utilize them in a functional manner with reversible design s...

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...

Integration of industrial heritage areas into the city through urban design: the case of Sümerbank Nazilli textile factory campus
Bayındır, Atıf Emre; Gedikli, Bahar; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2019)
The early 20th century was a modernization period in Turkey, which can be described as a revolution. In this era, transformation of space and society were the main aims of the young Turkish Republic. In this regard industrial facilities were constructed across the country in terms of the principles of statism. Coming to the present day, some of these industrial facilities were closed due to reasons such as change in production patterns, new technological developments and the decrease in productivity. These ...
Transformative Impacts of High-Speed Railway (HSR) Stations on Urban Space: The Case of Ankara HSR Station
Songulen, Nazli; Memluk, Nihan Oya (2014-05-11)
Urban transformation became one of the premises on the urban agenda in Turkey, which was accelerated with the introduction of the neo-liberal policies in the 1980s and became apparent in the 2000s as rapid and massive urban transformations mainly held by macro-scaled public investments. In this regard, high-speed railway (HSR) systems, newly introduced to the Turkish case, appear as one of these macro-scale public investments. In this context, the European literature on HSR development projects reveals that...
