<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Inventory Project for the Cultural Assets of Istanbul (2015–2019) revealed that there are approximately 35000 historical and cultural assets in Istanbul due to its history with regards to being homeland and capital of many different civilizations. Historical Peninsula (Fatih district) which also contains four World Heritage Sites listed by UNESCO has 30% of the total registered historical assets inventory in Istanbul. Throughout the inventory project for the cultural assets of Istanbul, huge amount of data was collected by site-work with their spatial references. Cultural assets’ database was related with the spatial data on GIS software and it will serve as a tool for various analyses in order to understand and evaluate the situation. Essentially 11 analyses were generated from inquirable geospatial data for Historical Peninsula of Istanbul. Geospatial data is constituted of approximately 140 distinct data-type including location, architectural description, conservation state, materials or cultural era that can be useful for different analyses and also cross-examine such as non-functional assets on public property or structural state of assets which require an urgent intervention. In addition, specific thematic maps and different routes for touristic and cultural purposes can be produced on GIS platforms, based on this study. In this paper, these mentioned studies of the Inventory Project of Istanbul will be described in detail and several case studies generated for the Historical Peninsula will be presented. It is aimed to define a data processing methodology created for cultural heritage by using GIS platforms in order to be evaluated in further projects.</p>

Over the last three decades, the disruptive quality of urban and social restructuring processes in Turkey has been intensified by the government’s decision to embrace the concept of urban transformation as a tool to boost the Turkish economy and development. In this respect, many cities have experienced a rapid urban transformation, practicing more of a top to down approach in implementing an urban planning and design, and at the same time undervaluing the potential of a participatory process for a common future and for the improvement of the quality of social and urban life. The article examines the process of “social and spatial restructuring” for the old-city housings of the city of Istanbul, as part of a larger urban transformation phenomenon. The research comparatively analyses three different urban transformation projects from the city of Istanbul's historically valued Golden Horn area and focuses on missions, actors and roles of the projects in terms of the social and spatial restructuring phases. As all three cases in this respect reclaims an upgrading of the quality of urban environment of the historic neighbourhoods; the mission is to expose the local multidimensional structure of these transformations via comparative discussion of their potentials, capabilities and limits in respect to the dynamics of urban transformation and community participation.

Abstract. In order to design buildings that are resistant to earthquakes, first it is necessary to determine the parameters of ground motion. In this study, the earthquake seismic hazard analysis of the Old City Districts of Istanbul (Fatih and Eminonu) was probabilistically defined. For the analysis, the study zone was divided into 307 cells of 250 × 250 m using geographical information systems, and these cells were used in the mapping of all the data obtained. Then, for a building lifetime of 50 yr, the acceleration parameters of earthquake ground motions, peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, and spectral acceleration values of 0.2 s and 1 s were obtained at the bedrock level according to 10% and 40% exceedances. Additionally, in order to produce the artificial acceleration-time records of the ground movement in accordance with the NEHRP acceleration spectrum, the TARSCHTS computer simulation program was utilized. The results of the analysis showed that for the 10% probability of exceedance, the peak bedrock acceleration values ranged from 0.30 g to 0.40 g, and for the 40% exceedance probability the acceleration values ranged from 0.22 g to 0.17 g. The Ss 10% exceedance probability, calculated according to the spectral acceleration parameter, ranged from 0.67 g to 0.85 g and the spectral acceleration parameter S1 varied between 0.22 g–0.28 g. The Ss 40% exceedance probability, calculated according to the spectral acceleration parameter, ranged from 0.46 g to 0.38 g and the spectral acceleration parameter S1 varied from 0.12 g to 0.14 g.

From past to present, Istanbul has witnessed many empires and historical events. This accumulation has made Istanbul one of the most important cities in Turkey. The architecture and historic potential of the city dates back to centuries ago. Palace architecture is the most important cultural inventories of the city. Over time, technological developments and the industrial revolution brought the “western influence” to Turkey. This effect is observed on planning character and on the planting design. The main material of the work is Topkapı Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace and Dolmabahçe Palace. In this context, this paper consist of three stages. Literature studies have been carried out in the first stage. “Western effect” on the palaces has been investigated after the second step consisting of the field study and mapping. As result of the examinations, western influence was studied in three stages as general planning character, structural material and plant material. As a result of the study, results were obtained for each title. Suggestions were made for rehabilitation and palace gardens planning.

Full textAbstract:
The Grand Bazaar is a historical trade centre more than 500 years in the historical peninsula of Istanbul, Turkey. It consists of almost 3,600 small shops from different sectors (such as jewellery, carpet, leather, souvenir, finance, restaurant, café, confection etc.), two Bedesten, 64 street and 16 Han (inn) buildings. The Bazaar has 21 main gates that open to different streets and have different relation with outside. More than 25000 staff work in the shops and 300-500 thousand users come to Bazaar daily depending on the season and day. The pedestrian density is changeable, depending on the place of the inner street and the type of the sector. The historical disaster records (earthquake, dated 1766 and 1894, the grand bazaar fire, dated 1954) show that there was evacuation vulnerability. The main gates (exit doors) and exit route need some rehabilitation for safety evacuation during any disaster. The aim of this study is to evaluate the Grand Bazaar’s emergency evacuation vulnerability. The evacuation vulnerability factors question the width, length and natural illumination of the evacuation route, maintenance of the roof, presence of hazardous materials, door specifications as size, material, opening direction, maintenance and difference in elevation on the route and exit area such as staircase and thresholds.

Introduction: The historical city core of Istanbul developed under the influence of the religions and cultures that were brought in during the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods. This study investigates the effect that the 19th-century modernization, urban arrangements, road system changes, and sociocultural textures had on urban morphology on the Historical Peninsula of Istanbul, which had symbolic value. We review the morphology of Istanbul during the 19th century, a historical period when the city was undergoing new development and restructurization. We also develop an analysis methodology in order to examine this process in more detail, by following the methods of the researchers who carried out morphological studies. Purpose of the study and methods: In our research, we apply three different urban morphology methods, examining the development of the city, its effects on the urban tissue, and the newly developed and demolished areas. Firstly, we investigate historical plans in line with the Conzenian method and discover the urban tissue typologies of the historical city by using the Caniggia approach. Furthermore, we use the space syntax method developed by Bill Hillier in order to interpret the changes, differences, and similarities in the urban form, and draw axial lines to illustrate the integration of settlements and street systems shaped in the context of the relationship between people and space. Results: We discover the effects of development practices on the morphological structure of spaces and show how urban forms and cultures intertwine over time.

Abstract. The increased number of city networks such as 100 Resilient Cities, proves the importance of making cities disaster resilient. The major difficulty on this trajectory is the interrelated components in urban systems that influence each other and increase uncertainty in the risk assessment and management. This study analyses the potential disruptions that impact traffic control with the help of multi-hazard risk assessment for the historical peninsula of the city of Istanbul. 3D model is created for the visualisation of disaster risk to support the communication of the causes of such potential disruptions. The additive normalization indicator-based approach is used to assess the socioeconomic, road and systemic vulnerability and risk. Besides, the EMS-98 Macroseismic method is applied to determine the building vulnerability and damage grades. The results show that the socioeconomic vulnerability is high to very high which is likely to contribute to traffic congestions and communication issues. In addition, most of the buildings are expected to be ‘very heavily damaged’. So, while roads have low risk to damage, there is high risk for road blockages in the narrow streets of the case study area. The application of 3D models improves the recognition of buildings and the identification of the causes of road blockages.

Full textAbstract:
Istanbul, strategically situated between Europe and Asia on the Bosphorus Peninsula, has served as a hub of political, religious, and artistic significance for over two millennia. The city is home to four distinct areas inscribed as the “Historical Areas of Istanbul” on the UNESCO World Heritage list: the Archaeological Park, the Süleymaniye Quarter with its iconic mosque complex and surrounding bazaars, the Zeyrek area centered around the Zeyrek Mosque, and the Theodosian land walls region, once home to the Blachernae Palace. Despite their historical and cultural value, these heritage sites face significant threats from population growth, industrial pollution, and unchecked urbanization. This paper focuses on the challenges confronting the vernacular wooden architecture of the Süleymaniye Quarter, an area where monumental structures often overshadow the more vulnerable civil architectural heritage. Although Istanbul’s city center has been free of serious conflicts for centuries, the Süleymaniye Quarter bears the appearance of a conflict zone, grappling with issues such as tourism pressures, urban development, neglect, and mismanagement. International guidelines suggest that reconstruction of historical centers is warranted only after wars or natural disasters. Yet, the Süleymaniye Quarter faces a gradual decline rooted in evolving legal regulations and urban policies. This paper seeks to uncover the underlying causes of decay in the area and explores how to address the social, cultural, and architectural deterioration that has emerged without the presence of an explicit conflict.The study is grounded in a comprehensive review of local research conducted over the past two decades, aimed at understanding the approaches taken to preserve the Süleymaniye Quarter. Additionally, site investigations have been conducted to assess the authenticity of the area’s architectural heritage, particularly as many vernacular buildings have been reconstructed over time rather than preserved in their original form. The analysis also incorporates the latest findings from the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality’s on-site evaluations. Preserving the invaluable heritage of the Süleymaniye District is a race against time. Situated in a seismically active region, Istanbul faces a high probability of a major earthquake within the next two decades. Protecting the district’s fragile wooden structures requires immediate action, not only to strengthen their physical resilience but also to address the social and economic vulnerabilities intensified by earthquakes, population pressures, industrial pollution, and uncontrolled urban growth.

Full textAbstract:
Istanbul, which has been the capital city of different empires throughout history, houses numerous listed architectural and cultural historical buildings. There are diverse applications of timber structures all through Anatolia. As capital city of Ottoman period, construction of timber had high and low periods in Istanbul. As masonry houses have suffered numerous intense and destructive earthquakes, wooden buildings gained importance to be safe especially among rich people. As several fires wiped out thousands of houses and the districts, masonry buildings were made obligatory by law in the form of building regulations. Later however, due to many damages caused by repeated earthquakes, construction of timber buildings was once again allowed under the law. Between the 15th and the 18th centuries, the Turkish dwellings of timber framed construction with brick filling were developed. After the 18th century, the quality of work was decreased; the wall frames constructed without any filling sheathed with timber planks or lathed plaster became popular. Today, although these timber dwellings are listed, they are in very poor condition due to lack of maintenance and wrong interventions. In order to make risk assessment of these structures, more than 20 houses were inspected in Historical Peninsula of Istanbul. This paper will discuss risks sources, assessment of damage level and evaluation of the present condition of these buildings.

Full textAbstract:
The construction of the Yeni Valide Mosque complex, located on the northern edge of Istanbul’s historical peninsula in the district of Eminönü, began in 1597 under the patronage of Sultan Mehmed III’s mother Safiye Sultan. The project was halted abruptly in 1603 at the foundation phase and stood dormant for almost six decades. Between 1661 and 1663, another royal woman patron, Valide Hatice Turhan, supported the revision and completion of the project. Although scholars have long examined the construction process, architecture, and decoration of the project in detail, I reevaluate our knowledge of the monument based on recent scientific discoveries regarding the climate change phenomenon known as the ‘Little Ice Age’, which reached its peak in the seventeenth century. As we address another major climate change event today, this study provides insight into our understanding of the social, cultural, and historical impacts of such dramatic changes to climate conditions on architectural projects and urban dynamics in the Ottoman Empire.

Full textAbstract:
The Fener-Balat districts, located in the Historical Peninsula, are among the most prominent historical and cultural sites in Istanbul. The rapid growth of the city since the 1950s, mostly due to rural migration, has affected the quality of life in various sections of the city including Fener and Balat, leaving them almost completely derelict. The Rehabilitation of Fener- Balat Districts Programme is a joint program of the European Union and the Fatih Municipality (sub-municipality of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality). It was carried out during the period between January 2003 and June 2007. Regeneration, revitalization and rehabilitation of historical urban centers, which have become degraded and dilapidated due to sub-urbanization has been successful in most cases. The gentrification process has also paralleled the resulting socio-economic revitalization and regeneration process. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine and investigate the rehabilitation process and its results in these districts, with special emphasis on the gentrification that occurred as a result of this process. In order to explore how the increase in housing prices in the historical residential Fener and Balat districts after the rehabilitation program affected the social structure and how this process resulted in undesired gentrification, a survey design was conducted and social and economic aspects in Fener-Balat has been analyzed and explored in depth with respect to the individual, immediate surroundings and the urban social structure. The resulting gentrification phase is more important than the preceding phases of revitalization and renovation, because it influences the housing market the most.

This paper endeavors to identify the structural characteristics that render traditional timber buildings in Istanbul earthquake-resistant even ifthey are in a deteriorated state. A traditional timber building of approximately 110 years old located in the Historical Peninsula was selected as a subject for the finite elements model. According to the structural material analysis and the condition of the elements of the load-bearing system, three modelling criteria were chosen to classify the strength capacity of the building. These are: an undamaged (new) building, a 110 year-old building with material defects, and a building with structural decay and broken node points. Seismic data from the 1999 Adapazarı and Düzce earthquakes were used for the modelling. The relative floor displacements of the systems were investigated and theresults were evaluated by comparing the cross-sectional load-bearing capacities

3D modeling of cultural monuments is very crucial issue for preparing restoration projects. However, it has challenges such as data acquisition, preparation and processing. 3D modeling of objects can be time consuming and may include some difficulties due to the complexity of the structures. 3D terrestrial laser (TLS) scanning technique is one of the reliable and advantageous methods for 3D reconstruction of monuments. This technique is commonly acknowledged due to its accuracy, speed and flexibility. But the suitability and capability of this technique depends on proper usage, and good survey planning. Magnificent developments in highresolution digital sensor technologies leaded to manufacturing of new camera systems. Parallel to these innovations, development of computer systems and image processing techniques made enable to obtain multiple image-based 3D object models. In the presented study, TLS method has been compared to conventional photogrammetric and image-based dense matching methods. Automatic dense point creation has been realized by our developed algorithm and PIXEL-PHOTO software which generates 3D point clouds from stereo images. The reliability and encountered problems during point cloud measurement process have been discussed. The study area has been chosen as historical Byzantine Land Walls of Istanbul, which constitute a remarkable area defining the ancient city’s historical peninsula.

This article concerns three Bulgarian ethnographic maps drafted in the late 19th century – the closing decades of the historical period commonly referred to as the Bulgarian National Revival. The three maps in question belong to Vasil D. Stoyanov (circa 1867), the Chitalishte (a kind of community cultural center) of Tsarigrad (Istanbul) (in 1872), and the Bulgarian Exarchate (in 1876). They all depict the territorial distribution of the ethnic Bulgarian population in the Balkan Peninsula at the time (and in particular within the borders of what was then European Turkey). The maps are yet to be tracked down and published, and it is unclear whether they even survived until present day or not. It is possible they remain archived somewhere outside Bulgaria. The maps were drafted in response to non-Bulgarian publications (in the form of maps, statistics, etc.), which contained significant errors (intentionally or not) in regards to the territorial distribution of the Bulgarian population and its actual numbers. Each map is accompanied by supplementary statistics. The maps played an important role in connection to notable historical figures and events. The goal of this article is to revive the memory of the maps’ existence and give some fresh impetus for their discovery and publication, which would be of enormous benefit.

SUMMARY The northern branch of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) is the primary source of the greatest natural hazard for the Marmara Megapolis and specifically the İstanbul Metropolitan area. The Sea of Marmara section of the NAF is a ∼125-km-long seismic gap bound by the M7.4 1912 Mürefte earthquake rupture in the west and M7.4 1999 İzmit earthquake rupture in the east. Terminations of these ruptures define the length of the seismic gap in the Marmara Sea and consequently the magnitude and rupture extent of the expected large magnitude earthquake. The Hersek Peninsula is the last location where the NAF can be studied on land before it enters the Sea of Marmara. In addition, it is a geologically key location for the western termination of the M7.4 İzmit surface rupture. This study integrates high-resolution onshore and offshore data from Hersek Peninsula and its vicinity in İzmit Bay to assess the seismic hazard for the Marmara region. Detailed geological and geomorphic mapping, palaeoseismic trenching, geophysical and geotechnical subsurface data and archeoseismologic investigations demonstrate that the 1999 İzmit earthquake surface rupture died off east of the Hersek Peninsula due to structural complexity of the NAF at this location and the most recent earthquake to rupture the surface at Hersek Peninsula was the historical 1509 CE event. A restraining bend and bifurcation of the NAF at Hersek Peninsula suggests that this location might be a persistent asperity forming a surface rupture segmentation point at least since Pleistocene. Surface ruptures documented in palaeoseismic trenches north of the Hersek Lagoon and an offset 6th century East Roman aqueduct; however, suggests that this section of the NAF has ruptured the surface multiple times in the past and is highly likely to rupture again during the expected Marmara earthquake. The aqueduct; which crosses the surface trace of the NAF, is offset 14 ± 1 m and yields 13.6 ± 1 mm yr–1 dextral slip rate indicating that the northern branch of the NAF accrues and releases the majority of the stress between Eurasia and Anatolian block in the Marmara region. If the ∼125-km-long seismic gap between the 1912 and 1999 ruptures fail during a single event the expected Marmara earthquake can reach M7.4.

Full textAbstract:
Large investments made because of high tourism revenues in touristic destinations can threaten balanced growth, ecological sensitivity and sustainable tourism principles. To raise awareness of this situation and draw attention to unsustainable tourism approaches, this study is presented with the situation approach method. The main purpose of this research is to determine the negative effects of unsustainable tourism approaches in tourist destinations. In this context, case studies are frequently used and are the preferred qualitative research method. The Historical Peninsula of Istanbul, Bodrum, Uzungöl and Hasankeyf, which will be examined in line with the principles of sustainable tourism, are understood to be damaged in four basic categories: unplanned construction, sound pollution, exposure to environmental destruction and overtourism pressure. The results of unsustainable tourism approaches are seen in these regions, which are more and more negatively affected by the increasing number of tourists and unconscious tourism policies. Contrary to scientific studies that generally focus on sustainable tourism policies, this study reveals the mistakes made with case approach evidence and develops some ideas for the solution to the problem. It also has remarkable results in terms of showing the obstacles in front of sustainability.

Abstract Just like in other industries, it is very important to choose the best possible location in hotel investments. As there are too many alternatives and changing touristic demands, there is serious competition within the hospitality sector. Therefore, all the investors want their properties located at the most profitable and competitive sites. To do so, they should decide the hotel location site by doing a well-analysed feasibility study. The hotel location selection can be influenced by some elements such as natural, economical, socio-cultural, legal, psychological factors and agglomeration effects. All of these factors have important roles of a hotel’s business success. However, especially in the last few years, the increasing numbers of hotel investments call in doubt that these factors are not considered properly. With this doubt, the main problems of this research have been revealed: what main factors do the investors consider in their investment decisions, and how do they decide the best site to locate the hotel? These problems also create the aims of this paper, which are to determine the factors that are important for investors and to find out where the most selected investment zones are. To achieve this goal, Istanbul has been divided into five agglomeration (investment) zones such as Historical Peninsula, Taksim-Beşiktaş-Şişli, Sarıyer-Maslak-Levent, Airport Area and Anatolian Side, according to their agglomeration effects. Then, interviews were completed with six hotel investors from these areas in order to get their opinions about the investment decisions. The gathered information has been analysed by the fuzyy TOPSIS method, which helps to calculate the subjective thoughts of the investors in a quantitative way. Then, the order of preference within the investment zones was calculated to determine the most popular site among the investors. The results showed that the most important factors for hotel location selection are agglomeration effects and economical factors. According to the order of preference, the most preferred location site has been determined as the Historical Peninsula, which includes Fatih, Eminönü, Sultan-ahmet and Topkapı zones.

İstanbul şehri bilindiği üzere, Antik Roma kentinin yedi tepe üzerine kurulması “mitosuna” benzetilme arayışına uygun şekilde “yedi tepeli” bir şehir olarak tanımlanmıştır. Bu tepelerin tümü yabancı literatürde “Historical Peninsula” adı verilen Tarihi Yarımada’da yer almaktadır. Çalışmamıza konu edilen Edirnekapı Mihrimah Sultan Camii de işte bu yedi tepeden biri ve en yükseği olan altıncı tepe üzerinde 16. Yüzyılda Mimar Sinan tarafından tasarlanarak inşa edilmiştir. Söz konusu cami, inşa edildiği tarihten günümüze kadar geçirmiş olduğu birçok deprem ve yangın nedeniyle hasar almış; bu nedenle de bazen özgün görünümüne oldukça zarar veren onarımlar da geçirmek durumunda kalmıştır. Bunlar arasında özellikle, kentin genelindeki birçok tarihi yapının da zarar görmesine neden olan 1894 Depremi, yapının tarihi için ayrı bir öneme sahiptir. Söz konusu deprem sonrası ağır hasar alan Klasik Dönem Osmanlı mimarisinin bu önemli yapısının yeniden kullanılır hale getirebilmesi için dönemin birçok farklı mimarından görüş alındığı bilinmektedir. Bunlardan biri de, özellikle dönemin başkenti İstanbul’da tasarlamış olduğu yapılarla 19. Yüzyıl sonu ile 20. Yüzyıl başlarına damga vurmuş bir mimar olan Fransız kökenli levanten Alexandre Vallaury olmuştur. Vallaury, mimarlığının yanı sıra dönemin güzel sanatlar yüksekokulu durumundaki Sanayi-i Nefise Mekteb-i Âlisi’ndeki mimarlık hocalığıyla tanınmaktadır. Vallaury, Edirnekapı Mihrimah Sultan Camii’nin 1894 Depreminde aldığı hasar sonrası, üzerinden on iki yıl gibi uzun bir süre geçmiş olmasına rağmen, yapıdaki hasarın tespiti ile yapıda gerçekleştirilmesi düşünülen restorasyon çalışmaları hakkında bir rapor hazırlamış ve raporunda genel itibariyle yapının yıkılan bölümlerinin yeniden ayağa kaldırılabilmesi adına teknik önerilerde bulunmuştur.

Full textAbstract:
With the increase in activities and interaction between societies, the rate of spread of epidemics has also increased. Given that the physical structure and location of the Vilayet of Kosovo during the Ottoman period was in the middle of the Balkan Peninsula, connecting the land routes with the Central Europe, it had become a destination where epidemics spread easily. The main purpose of this paper is to analyse and evaluate epidemiological diseases in the Vilayet of Kosovo such as cholera, smallpox, dysentery, rubella. The main objective of this work is to cover the years 1877–1912. This paper, which deals with the epidemic in the Vilayet of Kosovo, investigates the historical background of the conduct of the central and local authorities as far as health policies and public health were concerned in the face of deadly infectious diseases. At this point, administrative and sanitary measures taken by the relevant institutions in the Vilayet of Kosovo had been identified, such as the employment of health personnel, the distribution of vaccines, border blockage, the restriction of the movement of people and putting them in quarantine. In addition, attention has been paid to the assessment and analysis of health services and hospital infrastructure in the Zekirja Shabani, Marigonë Rizani Vilayet of Kosovo. This study, which contributes to the knowledge of the history of epidemiology and public health in the Vilayet of Kosovo, is mainly supported by documents from the Ottoman Archives of the Presidency in Istanbul. In addition, studies, theses and research papers on epidemiology and public health in the Ottoman Empire were used.

Full textAbstract:
Turkish culture, deeply rooted in nature and influenced by diverse interactions with various civilizations, holds a unique gardening tradition dating back thousands of years. This study explores the evolution of Turkish gardening culture, focusing on Istanbul’s historical peninsula, and examining plant species’ roles in shaping cultural identity and tourism narratives. Beginning with the ancient nomadic and spiritual practices in Central Asia, the study traces the influence of major religious shifts, including Islam, which introduced the "Paradise Garden" concept. The Ottoman period further refined Turkish gardens, integrating influences from Mediterranean, Iranian, and Byzantine sources while maintaining a distinct natural harmony. Ottoman gardens flourished, emphasizing functionality, spirituality, and symbolic plant use, with species like roses, tulips, and cypress trees gaining prominence. This research aims to document and map plant species found in Istanbul’s prominent historical sites, linking each to its mythological roots. Utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the study creates visual representations of these plants, supporting their narrative use by tour guides, and enhancing tourists' engagement with Istanbul's heritage. The findings underscore the cultural and mythological significance of these plants, offering insights into Turkish garden aesthetics and their symbolic evolution. By highlighting mythological storytelling in tourism, this study also provides practical implications for heritage preservation, tourism enrichment, and urban planning, inviting future research on plant symbolism across cultures and its integration into modern urban spaces.

<strong>Özet</strong> Somut olmayan kültürel miras, bilimsel yazına geç girmiş olmasıyla birlikte bütünleşik kentsel koruma bağlamında önemli bir kavramdır ve kültürel miras yapılarıyla kurduğu ilişki bakımından en somut haliyle çarşı mekânlarında görülebilmektedir. Nitekim, İstanbul Kapalıçarşı, bu konuda önemli bir bağlam sunmaktadır. Kapalıçarşı’nın somut olmayan kültürel mirasa konu ve kültürel kimliğini yansıtan kuyumculuk zanaatı, Çarşı’nın ortaya çıkışından bu yana beş yüzyılı aşan süreçte günümüze kadar varlığını sürdürmüştür. Hızla değişen kent dinamikleriyle birlikte, geleneksel çarşı ile üretim ve somut olmayan kültürel miras ile tarihi yapılar arasındaki ilişki de değişmektedir. Bu bağlamda, çalışmada; mekân ve işlevin birbirinden ayrı ele alınmaması gerekliliğinden yola çıkılarak; bütünleşik koruma ekseninde somut olmayan kültürel mirasa ilişkin kavramsal bir çerçeve sunulmuş ve Kapalıçarşı, tarihsel arka planıyla incelenerek sahip olduğu kültürel miras değerleri ile zanaat geleneğinin mekânla ilişkisi değişim bağlamında irdelenmiştir. Bu amaçla, yerinde tespitler ile zanaatkârlar ve kuyumcularla derinlemesine ve yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kapalıçarşı ve hanlar odaklı gelişen kuyumculuk zanaatı, Kapalıçarşı’ya alternatif olarak tasarlanan Kuyumcukent’in inşa edilmesi ile yeni bir mekâna sıçramıştır. Yeni bir küme olarak tanımlanabilecek olan bu yeni mekân, kuyumculuk sektörünün “yeni çarşısı” olmayı hedeflemiştir. Bir diğer yeni kümelenme mekânı olan Nuruosmaniye, Kapalıçarşı’dan uzaklaşmak istemeyen, Tarihi Yarımada içinde kalarak, Çarşı ile bağlarını devam ettirmek isteyen zanaatkârın tercihi olmuştur. Tüm bu yeni kümelenmeler, süreklilik, bilgi aktarımı, ekonomik ve kültürel dinamikler bağlamında değerlendirildiğinde; bütünün birer parçasını oluşturduğu, sektörün kendi içerisinde çok güçlü bağlara sahip olduğu ve bütünlüğünü koruduğu, Kapalıçarşı’nın ise bir “ekol” olarak bu bütünün başlangıcı ve belirleyicisi olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada; Kapalıçarşı ve kuyumculuk zanaatının, arka planında kendisini yaşatan bağlamlar ve insanlarla birlikte geçirdiği değişim analiz edilerek, bütünleşik koruma yaklaşımı çerçevesinde zanaat ve mekân arasındaki ilişkinin korunmasına yönelik ilkeler ortaya konmuştur. <strong>Abstract</strong> Intangible cultural heritage is a significant notion in the context of integrated urban conservation even though its recognition in the academic literature occurred belatedly and it can be seen in bazaar areas in its most concrete version in terms of its relationship with cultural heritage structures. Indeed, Istanbul Grand Bazaar presents a noteworthy context for this subject. As the subject of intangible cultural heritage and reflecting the cultural identity of Grand Bazaar, the jewellery craft has been existed since the foundation of bazaar for more than five centuries until today. The relationships between both the traditional bazaar and production, and intangible cultural heritage and historic structures changes with the rapidly changing urban dynamics. In this context, this study sets the start point as the necessity of addressing separately to the space and the function; a conceptual framework is presented regarding intangible cultural heritage in line with the integrated urban conservation and Grand Bazaar is analysed regarding the relationship between the space and its cultural assets and crafts tradition within the context of change through its historical background. For this reason, on-site observations and diagnosis, and structured and in-depth interviews with jewellery artisans was conducted. The jewellery craft boomed with Grand Bazaar and Khans, moved to a new place called Kuyumcukent after its construction which was designed as an alternative to Grand Bazaar. This new place aimed to be the new bazaar of the jewellery sector. Another cluster named Nuruosmaniye became the new location of jewellery artisans who want to stay closer to Grand Bazaar and keep their network by staying in the Historic Peninsula. Assessing of all these new clusters regarding continuity, information transfer, economic and cultural dynamics, they form a part of the whole, the sector within itself has robust connections and protects its unity, while the Grand Bazaar is the inception and identifier of this unity as an “Ecole”. In this research, the principles for conservation of the relationship between the place and craft within the integrated conservation approach by analysing the change in Grand Bazaar and jewellery craft together with the people and contexts sustained themselves in its background.

AbstractCartography, unquestionably one of the world’s oldest disciplines of scientific study, is among the fields that have been most influenced by technological improvements. These improvements have enhanced interest in historical maps while also paving the way for modern mapping. All of this process has created new topics of study for cartographers. It is possible to examine old maps using software such as MapAnalyst which can enable the investigation of time-dependent changes. In this study, two historical maps, namely, Moltke and German Blue, were analyzed in the study area including the Historical Peninsula, Golden Horn, some part of Bosphorus, and the Marmara Sea in İstanbul, Türkiye, employing Helmert, Affine, and Huber loss robust estimation methods. It was revealed that the region with the highest deterioration on both maps is between Beşiktaş and Üsküdar. The coastline change analysis was also performed. According to the results, it was observed that the regions with the most coastal change are located on the southern and eastern coasts of the Historical Peninsula.

Sinan's last works, which include the designs after the Selimiye Mosque design; while being fed by Sinan's past works, the past has brought a new horizon to the foundation with different design experiments. In this period, some of the buildings outside of Istanbul were built by their assistants; Although there were deviations from the basic principles, Sinan, who took part in the construction processes of the last period buildings in Istanbul with his assistants, brought the structures of special importance to the city in this period. Within the scope of the research, the four structures that Sinan built on the coast of Istanbul, which are considered important in the last periods of his life, and which are at the forefront of the city silhouette; Azapkapı Sokullu Mehmet Pasha Mosque, Şemsi Ahmet Pasha Mosque, Kılıç Ali Pasha Mosque and Molla Çelebi Mosque, and the Messiah Mehmet Pasha Mosque and Nişancı Mehmet Pasha Mosque in the historical peninsula will be examined. The fact that the mentioned mosques are located on the coastline and/or on the historical peninsula; It will be observed what kind of effects and orientations it causes in the plan plane and in the context of height; At the same time, the structure of the structural system used by Sinan in these last period mosques and the differences in the layout will be examined comparatively. In the conclusion section; The innovations and developments that Sinan brought to the classical period architecture in his last period will be revealed through the design decisions applied in mosques and complexes in important urban points, which were examined in detail throughout the study.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract It has been emphasised in previous studies that the definition of quiet areas, which are specified as areas to be identified and protected in the Environmental Noise Directive (END) in force for European Member States, cannot be reduced to ‘the area below certain limit values for certain noise indicator values’ and the positive effects of the presence of natural elements such as natural sounds, plants and aquatic environment on the perception of quiet areas. Therefore, this soundscape study examines not only the levels of sound, but also how sound sources, the acoustic environment, auditory perception, and personal interpretation interact in shaping our experience of a sound environment. This study investigates the potential of quiet areas to be included within the scope of nature-based solutions (NBS) through the example of Istanbul Historic Peninsula. In this study, data were collected from selected urban open and green spaces within the Istanbul Historic Peninsula through noise mapping, in situ sound recordings, and questionnaire-based surveys, all conducted in accordance with established soundscape standards. The collected data were analysed to explore the relationships between the sound environment and various physical environmental factors that influence the perception of quietness in urban settings. These relationships were further evaluated within the framework of nature-based solutions (NBS) strategies, with a particular focus on how such quiet areas can contribute to urban greening practices. Finally, the study discusses how insights gained from the soundscape analysis can inform space planning and design in urban contexts, emphasising the integration of acoustic quality in green infrastructure planning.

Full textAbstract:
Located on the outer part of the seawalls of the Topkapı Palace, the area around Sarayburnu was permanently changed with a new development plan implemented in Istanbul between 1956 and 1960. Urban practices in this period aimed to modernize urban space but resulted in a permanent transformation of the city’s shoreline. In order to ensure the continuity of cultural transmission, this research aims to remind historical places that disappeared as a result of the demolitions under the development plan and discusses the exploration of the buildings that disappeared from the shoreline of Sarayburnu by utilizing visual archive sources. This case study uses a selection of historical photographs as research material for areas outside seawalls that form the border between the Historic Peninsula and the sea. Document analysis of historical photographs revealed the photographs of the Sarayburnu Tıbbiye-Yedekciler Masjid/Degirmen Ocagi Mosque that does not exist today. Case study research, one of the qualitative research methods, was preferred to examine this building. The research findings provide information about history, location and construction of the building as well as its traces in the contemporary urban space. In the context of the relationship between architecture, city and history, one of the forgotten memory places that are important for cultural transmission has been explored.

Full textAbstract:
Making cities disaster resilient is important as proven by the increased number of city networks such as 100 Resilient Cities. The major difficulty on this trajectory is the interrelated components in urban systems that influence each other and increase uncertainty in risk assessment and management. Therefore, this study analyses the potential road blockages that impact traffic control using a multi-hazard risk assessment for the historical peninsula of Istanbul, Turkey. To support the communication of the causes of such potential disruptions, a 3D city model is created for the visualisation and analysis of the consequences from a disaster. For the socioeconomic, physical and systemic vulnerability and risk assessments, the additive normalization indicator-based approach is used. Besides, to determine the building vulnerability and damage grades, the EMS-98 Macroseismic method is applied. This study found that the socioeconomic vulnerability is high to very high which could contribute to emergent behaviour causing traffic congestions and communication issues. In addition, most buildings have been determined to be ‘very heavily damaged’. Consequently, there is high risk for road blockages in the narrow streets within the case study area, while the roads themselves have low risk to damage. The usage of 3D modelling techniques for visualisation and analysis improves understandability, visual problem identification and support decision making for mitigation strategies in case of road blockages.

It may be considered too pretentious to analyze the totality of a period of hundred years comprising different administrations, regimes and ceaselessly changing world environment. Particularly if the issue is about the transport policies of our large cities, sometimes fluctuating on every one or two years… Therefor this paper starts by focusing on the transport history of Aksaray District of Istanbul, and summarizes the developments from the beginning of 20th Century until 1970’s. In this context, the disruptive consequences of road projects in the Historical Peninsula -implemented mostly unconsciously- are exhibited. After a short review of contemporary transportation policies emerged in the world in subsequent years, policies executed in three largest cities of Turkey –including Ankara and Izmir- are analyzed. It is observed that former understanding continued in major cities, with an exception of few local contemporary implementations. An assessment of transport projects and measures realized in those cities from 1990’s until nowadays -according to globally accepted criteria- follows these observations. The conclusion states that the factors which caused the emergence of contemporary transport policies will remain as a major risk for the whole world in post pandemic period and those policies will be needed more than ever.

Abstract Balancing conservation and change of the physical form of cities is a key challenge for planning. Supported on a thorough understanding of the main socioeconomic and environmental needs and aspirations of a city and on the fundamental characteristics of its physical form, spatial planning should offer a framework to promote the conservation of structural physical elements while allowing change of less persistent elements. In many cases, planning fails to provide such framework. The paper addresses this major problem. It is argued that one of the main reasons for failure is the lack of scientific support to planning practice. To address this weakness, the paper proposes a revised version of the method of morphological regionalization. The method was designed by M.R.G. Conzen in the early 1960s and subsequently applied over the next decades by several academics in different geographical and cultural settings. This revised version of the method offers a systematic definition of procedural options and steps, a clear usage of terminology, and a strong linkage to the historico-geographical approach, supporting the creation of a new framework to understand conservation and change. The method is applied into a city with a unique urban history, Istanbul, focusing particularly on Fatih (historical peninsula).

Full textAbstract:
Human settlements have survived to the present day by being added on top of each other for centuries. Thus,different production-consumption habits/traditions have formed their cultural layers by overlapping or side-by-side onthe same land, the same structure or the same surfaces. Each cultural layer has left its mark with its urban spaceorganization, urban planning features, architecture, and building production features in line with the social, economic,political and political parameters of the period to which it belongs. These have either persisted or melted away in thenext cultural layer. Istanbul is one of the historical cities that embodies these features. Located on the HistoricalPeninsula, which has represented the city center for centuries, the neighborhood where the Cibali Tobacco and CigaretteFactory is located also shows this multi-layeredness. In the excavations that can be done, the Hadrian's water line relatedto the Roman period of the city, Byzantion, the Late Roman period, the farms, the necropolis, the road networks, thewaterways; It is not unusual to come across the Byzantine period structures/ruins, cisterns, Ottoman period construction,19th and 20th century additions, themselves or their traces. Based on this context, the extent to which the cultural layersaccumulated in the area where the Cibali Tobacco and Cigarette Factory is located and in the factory structures containsustainability will be discussed in this article.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis study, presented in a pair of articles, defines a comprehensive methodological approach to the reconstruction of a traditional masonry-timber mansion building constructed in the 1880s of the Turkish house typology on Istanbul’s historical peninsula area that was intentionally demolished in 1948. A historical process research was carried out in the first stage of the study, after which ground penetration radar measurements and an archeological excavation were carried out to determine any possible remains or ruins of the structure, and the original architectural features of the demolished building were ascertained from the obtained data. The proposed stages in the current paper can be considered a comprehensive approach to the determination of the authentic properties of demolished or destroyed buildings in historical areas, given that the methodology allows for the integration of construction features obtained separately and independently through different activities, such as excavations, georadar measurements and historical surveys. The result is a versatile approach to the complete and realistic reconstruction of historical buildings.
