Industrial heritage places are important symbols of their times as representatives of a new industry, a new industrial community, and a new industrial site. However, these once important areas have lost their functions and become abandoned due to various reasons. Later, some approaches have emerged to revitalize these disused areas. As cultural landscapes of extraction constitute an important part of the industrial heritage concept, they go through similar processes. Although these areas are parts of industrial heritage sites, they are more complex areas with other dimensions such as having a unique industry that is related to the production of extracted resources like coal, having a unique community that reflects mining culture, tradition, and social and daily life with memories and experiences of inhabitants, and having a unique extraction site which consists of the specific natural environment, extracted environment, open areas, transportation network, and built-up areas. However, these places are the most affected areas by the developments because of the decrease in extraction. Therefore, the conservation of cultural landscapes of extraction has started to be discussed throughout the world. Zonguldak- Ereğli Coalfield is one of the most important mining sites where these kinds of conservation problems can be seen in Turkey. Kandilli/Armutçuk Coal Mining Region is one of the significant parts of the mining network in this coalfield by representing the integrity of tangible and intangible aspects of production, site, and community. Despite its significance, this area is under the threat of destruction due to development pressure, changing needs and technologies, natural factors that cause physical damage to the structures, and neglect. Therefore, the integrity of the area starts to deteriorate over time. Thus, this thesis aims to understand the Kandilli/ Armutçuk Coal Mining Region as a whole, identify its values and problems and develop conservation strategies to prevent the risk of its disappearance by considering all the components of the region at different scales concerning historical developments.

Development of a computer-based risk assessment tool for underground coal mines Başayar Büyükkara, Fatma Nur; Karpuz, Celal; Department of Mining Engineering (2016) Underground coal mining remains one of the world’s most hazardous occupations. There are numerous hazards in a mine, such as gas, dust, noise, temperature, and high humidity. Besides, increasing number of occupational accidents in underground coal mines shows the importance of occupational health and safety in these workplaces. By means of Occupational Health and Safety Law No 6331, attention to health and safety in the workplace has grown in recent years in Turkey. In addition, conducting an occupational h...
Monitoring and statistical modelling of dust concentration of some Turkish lignites under laboratory conditions Karakaş, Ahmet; Güyagüler, Tevfik; Department of Mining Engineering (2010) Although technological developments enable maximum safety, high dust formation is still a crucial problem in coal mining sector. This study is aimed to investigate the relationship between amount of coal dust produced during cutting operation and some important coal properties together with cutting parameters for different particle size ranges in laboratory conditions. For this purpose, six Turkish lignite samples were used in the experiments. Two experiment sets were designed to generate coal dust by using...
Evaluation of state owned indigenous coal fired power plants including coal reserves Güler, Mehmet; Güyagüler, Tevfik; Department of Mining Engineering (2010) Fossil fuels has preserved their importance in gradually increasing production and consumption of both energy and electricity of the world. Asia, especially China and India, has arisen new actors of the sector. Energy and electricity consumption of Turkey has also increased in parallel with her economic development, but due to her limited resources, she has become more and more energy dependent in order to meet her growing demand. Although hard coal is only found around Zonguldak region, with its abundant a...
How to achieve sustainable conservation in the historic housing neighbourhoods of Istanbul Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge (2010-07-15) The launch of several conservation and regeneration initiatives in the deprived historic quarters of Istanbul raises the question of how far these recent endeavours have achieved sustainable solutions responsive to the historic environment and the fundamental elements of the social environments. This paper aims to address this question by setting out a relationship between sustainability, community needs and conservation. Based on the premise that ...
Development of a ventilation model for the g field of Çayırhan coal mine İnan, Cem; Güyagüler, Tevfik; Department of Mining Engineering (2005) Ventilation problems raised with the beginning of underground mining. In underground mining, to provide safe and healthy working conditions, ventilation should be designed properly. Especially in the planning stage of the project, to design ventilation properly is very important. The latest upgrade of the popular ventilation simulation program, known as VnetPC 2000, has been applied for the ventilation design. In this study simulation is conducted to both auxiliary and main ventilation at Çayirhan G Field. ...
