Effective preservation requires a thorough understanding of factors that might result in thedestruction of irreplaceable historical evidence. Hence, risk analysis can be a powerful toolfor cultural heritage management. Having exceedingly rich cultural assets. Turkey possessestraces of various Anatolian civilizations. However, this heritage is threatened with naturaldisasters including earthquakes, floods, landslides, and rock falls. This paper aims to presentan analysis of risks threatening archaeological sites of Turkey. Focusing on this aim, hazardsare introduced and a methodology for analyzing risks is proposed. Finally, results of riskanalysis and its role as a decision-support tool are discussed.

Condition assessment of historic masonry structures by NDE and monitoring Aktas Erdem, Y. D.; Türer, Ahmet (2010-07-23) The condition assessment of historical structures exhibits additional difficulties in comparison to that of modern structures such as the lack of applicable standards and eventual complications that can arise during material characterization. The effective use of appropriate Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) and health monitoring techniques would help to overcome these difficulties. The need for general guidelines is therefore obvious for deciding which non-destructive techniques and monitoring methods shoul...
Facts, evidence, reality: debates in the philosophy and methodology of history Demir, Mevlüt Can; Çakır, Nur; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2021-2-08) Historians relations with the past, which is their object of production of knowledge, have always been a problematic issue. The underlying point of this problem is the empiricist claims of historians to establish a direct, unmediated connection with the past. Heavy criticism about this approach emerged with the French, structuralist philosopher Louis Althusser. Althusser argued that historians cannot have direct and unmediated contact with the past. After this criticism, another severe critique of historian...
KNOWLEDGE IN THE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF COMING-TO-BE AND PASSING-AWAY Yıldırım, Erdoğan (2018-06-01) Since the last decades of the 20th century the meaning and content of knowledge has dramatically changed. This necessitates adopting a historical perspective in approaching the questions of knowledge. But so far all the efforts of putting knowledge in a historical perspective since Hegel's historization of Spirit either suffer from the limitations of the presupposition of the One (Spirit or Being) or fail to ground the historicity of knowledge on the history of coming-to-be and passing-away. Moving from Hei...
Working Memory: An Evaluation Of The Past In The Design Process Delledonne, Nicola (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2020-6-30) Focused on the relationship between architecture, history and archaeology, this paper examines meaningful cases in which the past has exerted its influence on the present, bringing to the fore the notion of working memory: an operative device aimed at selecting some parts of historical experience to be reused. All of the historical phenomena here considered show that the past, when not mummified, can live again. So, a question arises: can such a condition be experienced nowadays in the design process? The a...
Calyx: a geomorphological approach to formation of urban space in the context of Ankara Yavuz, Irmak; Barlas, Mehmet Adnan; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2018) That geomorphology constitutes a basis for the urban formation does not seem to be valid argument today, considering the current urbanization processes and urban experiences. As a challenge, this study is grounded on the inquiry that geomorphology is not a mere physical surface but contains certain spatial qualities that are effectively integrated in the urban formation processes through the prevalent productive capacity of the era. At that end, calyx is taken at the focus of the study as a geospatial pheno...
