Cultural identity, whether it is physical or not, whether it is concerning a relatively specific community or the society as a whole, is worth protecting for future generations. Planning as a primary tool for conserving an urban place within the considerations of historical values based on both built environment and social structure, constantly manifests itself with conflicts in terms of retaining the cultural identity. Yet, integrating the cultural identity as a crucial aspect for urban conservation approaches have been considered insufficiently, especially in contemporary development practices. The crucial problem is the lack of emphasis on geographic and indigenous cultural features of identity. The necessity of emphasizing the spatiality of cultural identity, summons the incorporation of geo-cultural identity concept with urban practices. Thus, it is possible to distinguish Ulus, the old core of Ankara, in terms of the importance of cultural values and collective memory from not only the physical layout but also cultural structure of the area. In this sense, Jewish Quarter is a significant area with its diverse cultural background and intricate physical state. This study will consider urban oblivion as a spatial reflection of geo-cultural identity loss and will make a contribution to the literature in the ways of integrating the concept of geo-cultural identity to urban conservation practices. Archived maps and plans will investigate in order to reading of the area within the planning process. Moreover, interviews will be conducted to examine the causality of geo-cultural identity loss of Jewish Quarter. Therefore study will develop an evaluation on guiding the future studies of urban conservation context concerning geo-cultural identity.

Urban Development Projects And The Construction Of Neo-Liberal Urban Hegemony: The Case Of İzmir
Penpecioğlu, Mehmet (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2013-6-1)
Son 30 yıllık süreçte neo-liberalizme eklemlenmiş bir çok ülkede, büyük ölçekli kentsel projeler (BKP’ler) başat bir girişimci kentsel siyasa mekanizması haline gelmektedir. Mekanın üretiminde hegemonik bir güç inşa eden BKP’ler ile; merkezi iş alanları, turizm merkezleri, korunaklı ve lüks konut alanları ve alışveriş merkezleri gibi “neo-liberal kentleşme” mekanları üretilmektedir. BKP’ler “mekan üretiminin hegemonik projeleri” olarak yalnızca sermaye birikim ilişkilerinin yeniden üretilmesinde değil; aynı...

Interpretation and presentation of the Byzantine cultural heritage at Sultanahmet in İstanbul
Özcan, Ceren; Serin, Ufuk; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2019)
This research is based upon the premise that effective conservation of cultural heritage can only be achieved through promoting awareness and understanding of history and past cultures. As a result of either the selection or exclusion of particular periods or areas of the past in the conservation of cultural heritage in Turkey (and elsewhere), Late Antique and Byzantine periods have long been neglected. The lack of information and awareness of contemporary society regarding Byzantine history and culture and...
Interpretation and presentation of Late Antique and Byzantine Ephesus with particular emphasis on its religious heritage
Özen, Bilge Sena; Serin, Ufuk; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2023-1)
Cultural heritage conservation can be best accomplished through its adoption by a broad audience. The process of understanding, appreciating, and respecting cultural heritage can be achieved by effective heritage interpretation and presentation. Interpretation should focus on and involve all heritage resources, without any exclusion. Otherwise, the risk of losing heritage sites’ broader character emerges, especially if those somehow neglected or ‘excluded’ heritage resources are physically preserved and vis...
Folk architecture in historic environments: Living spaces for intangible cultural heritage
Karakul Türk, Özlem (2007-12-01)
Discussions about intangible cultural heritage emerged through the process for defining cultural heritage of humanity and developed for correcting the deficiencies of those definitions. In this respect, these discussions were not oriented for creating dissociation in the understanding of cultural heritage, but emerged as the product of the endeavor of understanding and re-defining the entity. This research aims to produce a methodology for redefining the entity of the concept of cultural heritage, examining...
