(Aims) Amaç: There are four objectives for this proposed study of the Iron Age capital on the Kerkenes Dağ overlooking the village of Şahmuratlı in the Yozgat region (Figs 1 and 2). 1. To complete the integrated multi-platform remote sensing surveys conducted over the northern portion of the Iron Age capital. 2. To combine the different sets of data and analyse the urban dynamics. 3. To prepare the results for final publication. 4. To make available, in usable form, aspects of these results that can be used for further analytical studies. These include demography and urban dynamics, archaeo-astronomy, military architecture and developments in ancient warfare, and post-destruction features. (Methods) Yöntem: 1. Combining two-dimensional data sets (balloon photographs, geophysical survey results) with three-dimensional close-contour GPS simulations. 2. Production of scaled imagery of combined simulations and of discrete geophysical survey data for ground verification. 3. Taking imagery produced in 2 (above) into the field to check against what can be seen on the ground (Iron Age features, particularly stone wall footings and stone paving; later features such as animal pounds and tumuli; geological and geomorphological features, including soils; vegetation and ground water). 4. Addition electrical resistance survey where verification suggests that better results might be obtainable within the designated study area. 5. Digitising the results of 3 (above) to make layers according to attributes. 6. Production of a digital atlas of the northern portion of the city that can be used for spatial, demographic, cultic, and other urban analysis. (Expected Results) Gerekçe/Beklenilen: This study will complete the detailed account of the immediate urban setting for the new long- term program of excavation of the urban block currently undertaken by an international team led by Scott Branting. Characterization of underlying concepts of city planning will provide a unique window onto comparative studies of the Lydian capital at Sardis, Neo-Hittite capitals in Turkey and Syria, Ionian cities and Greek colonies. At a more theoretical level it will address ideas of current concern including the relationship between cultural material and ethnicity, acculturation and imperialism.

Evaluation of seismic resistance of traditional Ottoman timber frame houses Aktaş, Yasemin Didem; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Türer, Ahmet; Department of Architecture (2011) The aim of this study is to evaluate the seismic resistance of traditional Ottoman timber frame “hımış” structures, which form the major part of Turkey’s cultural heritage, from an engineering point of view. On the other hand, the seismic resistance of traditional Ottoman timber frame structures was not evaluated from an engineering perspective. For the aim of seismic resistance evaluation of traditional Ottoman timber frame houses, the TUBITAK (the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) p...
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...
Routes and communications in late Roman and Byzantine Anatolia (ca. 4th-9th centuries a.d.) Kaya, Tülin; Özgenel, Lale; Department of Settlement Archaeology. (2020) This study presents a framework to evaluate the impacts of administrative/political and economic structures of the late Roman and Byzantine period on the use of routes and status of cities in Asia Minor. The studies that looked at the dynamics of the era between the 4th-9th centuries argued the state of urbanism, via both literary and archaeological sources, and suggested ‘decline’, ‘transformation’ and ‘continuity’ or ‘discontinuity’ of the classical city. The period considered was dominated by military an...
Bir Rumeli Kentinin Modernleşmesi: Üsküp 1839-1912 Bektaş, Gönül (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2020) Bu yazıda, 1839 Tanzimat Fermanı sonrasında, Balkan yarımadasının merkezinde bulunan Üsküp kentinin modernleşme sürecini incelenmektedir. Yazı kentin gelişmesini ve fiziksel değişim aşamalarını konu almaktadır. Yazıda önce Tanzimat Reformları’nın getirdiği yeniliklerin, Üsküp’ün toplum yapısını ne ölçüde etkilediği ve değişmenin ne yönde olduğu incelenmiş, bu bağlamda tarihsel, sosyo-ekonomik ve siyasal yapının değişimi ayrıntılı bir biçimde irdelenmiştir. Ardından, Üsküp’ün mekânsalyapısını değiştiren bu o...
Changing publicness of urban parks through time the case of Güvenpark, Ankara Yılmaz, Aslıhan; Baş Bütüner, Funda; Sargın, Güven Arif; Department of City and Regional Planning (2015) This thesis discusses the evolution of publicness expressed through different spatial planning approaches and interventions over the history of the Turkish Republic. Urban space is ideological and they are produced in accordance with an ideology. Throughout history, urban spaces undergo transformation and change in accordance with changing economic and socio-political dynamics. These dynamics not only transform urban space, but also affect the conception of publicness in society. In a sense, intervention in...
