Türkiye’deki arkeolojik alanlar, Dünya’nın çok az ülkesinde izlenebilen bir çeşitlilik ve zenginlik sunarlar. Mezopotamya Uygarlığı’nın kültürel çeşitliliğini en iyi ortaya koyan nadir mimari örneklerden, Antik Yunan ve Roma dönemlerinin en iyi durumda günümüze ulaşmış kentlerine ve yapılarına ve oldukça erken tarihli Hristiyan ve Müslüman dini yapı kalıntılarına, oldukça geniş bir zaman aralığının kültürel miras örnekleri Türkiye’nin sınırları içerisinde yaygın olarak bulunur. Bu sebeple, 2018 sonu itibariyle, Türkiye’nin UNESCO Dünya Miras Listesi’nde bulunan 18 alanından 12’si ve UNESCO Dünya Miras Aday Listesi’nde bulunan 77 yapıdan 27’si kısmi ya da bütünüyle arkeolojik alanlardır. Ülkemiz sınırları içindeki bu olağanüstü zenginlik sınırsız gibi görünse de aslında sınırlıdır ve baraj suları altında kalan, ülke ölçeğindeki alt yapı inşaatına kurban verilen, keşfedilmeden/ kazılamadan talana uğrayan her antik kent ya da kalıntı, kaybedilen ve yerine konması mümkün olmayan müthiş bir değerdir. Dolayısıyla, bu ölçüde bir zenginliğe sahip olmak, Türkiye’nin arkeologları, koruma uzmanları, tarihi alan yöneticileri, bürokratları, politikacıları ve vatandaşları olarak hepimize fırsatlar sunmasının yanısıra omuzlarımıza da çok önemli bir sorumluluk yüklemektedir:

‘arkeolojik alanlarımızı en az kayıpla bizden sonraki nesillere aktarmak’

Bu kitap bu sorumluluğu nasıl yerine getirebileceğimizin yollarını tartışma ve ortaya koyma hedefini taşımaktadır. Türkiye’deki arkeolojik alanların daha iyi korunması ve yönetilmesini dert edinmiş, bu konuya ilgi duyan okuyucular, farklı konularda uzmanlaşmış akademisyenler ve profesyoneller tarafından yazılmış ve ‘kuramlar’, ‘yöntemler’, ‘örnekler’ başlıkları altında gruplanmış makalelerde, ‘Türkiye’de arkeolojik alanların korunması ve yönetilmesi’ konularında bilgilerini arttırmak, farklı yaklaşım ve bakış açılarını izlemek imkanını elde edeceklerdir.

Famagusta Walled City, the topic of this study, had been subjected to significant economic, social and physical changes after the 11-month conquest period of 1571. These changes were the results of various political and environmental circumstances.
The aim of this paper is to make a research on urban transformation of the Famagusta Walled City during the Ottoman Period by making use of the maps, reports, travelers’ notes during the 18th and 19th centuries, and photographs taken in the 19th century. It is aimed to propose the reasons behind the urban changes, transformation processes and consequences of processes in the city. The physical transformation of the city during the Ottoman Period is discussed under various subtitles as ‘urban spaces’, ‘neighborhoods’, ‘fortifications’, and ‘built up areas’, for making deeper statements on transformation of different physical characteristics of the city.

Famagusta walled city, whose history of settlement goes far to ancient city of Arsinoe, had a rapid increase in population after the mass immigration from Salamis in 648. Famagusta became an important trade centre between 13th-15th centuries and gained a cosmopolitan character. Through its 1500 years long history, it had been governed by different reigns and hosted different urban and architectural approaches.
The aim of this study is to search and present the development and transformation of the city where different communities and sovereignties with different cultural and social backgrounds had settled and had formed a dense architectural pattern. For this aim, besides visual documents like gravures, models, maps, photographs, written historical documents like chronicles, travellers’ notes, notaries have been used.
Various data on city were considered and analyzes have been done on existing model, gravures and maps. Restitutions for different periods of city have been produced by using the evaluations and analysis. The relations of the monuments, which are densely located within the urban pattern of the settlement, with the urban spaces and their interaction with their environment throughout the development process of the city are also the subjects handled in this study. Consequently, the development scheme of the city from 13th century to present, port and urban development relations, physical and functional chronology of urban spaces and monuments are presented as the outcomes of this study.

"There was a time seven centuries ago when Famagusta's wealth and renown could be compared to that of Venice or Constantinople. The Cathedral of St Nicholas in the main square of Famagusta, serving as the coronation place for the Crusader Kings of Jerusalem after the fall of Acre in 1291, symbolised both the sophistication and permanence of the French society that built it. From the port radiated impressive commercial activity with the major Mediterranean trade centres, generating legendary wealth, cosmopolitanism, and hedonism, unsurpassed in the Levant. These halcyon days were not to last, however, and a 15th century observer noted that, following the Genoese occupation of the city, 'a malignant devil has become jealous of Famagusta'. When Venice inherited the city, it reconstructed the defences and had some success in revitalising the city's economy. But the end for Venetian Famagusta came in dramatic fashion in 1571, following a year long siege by the Ottomans. Three centuries of neglect followed which, combined with earthquakes, plague and flooding, left the city in ruins.

The essays collected in this book represent a major contribution to the study of Medieval and Renaissance Famagusta and its surviving art and architecture and also propose a series of strategies for preserving the city's heritage in the future. They will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Gothic, Byzantine and Renaissance art and architecture, and to those of the Crusades and the Latin East, as well as the Military Orders. After an introductory chapter surveying the history of Famagusta and its position in the cultural mosaic that is the Eastern Mediterranean, the opening section provides a series of insights into the history and historiography of the city. There follow chapters on the churches and their decoration, as well as the military architecture, while the final section looks at the history of conservation efforts and assesses the work that now needs to be done."

Antakya, also known as Antioch, is a special historic city for many reasons. It has maintained a unique blend of authentic values that result from a deep historical background, a rich culture, and a diverse religious population living together with tolerance and in peace for centuries. As a city in the southeastern corner of Turkey near Syria, its rich cultural identity is reflected in various aspects and parts of the city. Kurtuluş Avenue is one of the major urban axes of Antakya and is a remarkable case. It stands out from other parts of the city for having a unique architectural style that is defined by an interesting group of buildings with characteristics between vernacular and modern. Kurtuluş Avenue, a version of the ancient Herod Road, was widened and redirected during the French Mandate Period. Half of its buildings were demolished and renewed and the other half were renovated and reused, creating this particular group of buildings that define this new main artery with a ne...

During Ottoman Period, Beykoz was known to be the faraway countryside on the north of Bosphorus, Istanbul. With the establishment of Sumerbank Factory in the early 19 th century, the district developed as an important area of industrialization. Due to law regarding the removal of industrial use from Bosphorus, industrial buildings have been evacuated to a great extent lately. As well as the historic residential fabric, the industrial complexes in Beykoz still preserve their major characteristics. Moreover, they have an important power and potential for strengthening the loose relationship of Beykoz with the city centre. Beykoz has been selected as the subject of an International Urban and Architectural Design Studio and the Department of Architecture at IKU (Turkey) studied Yalikoy and Merkez Quarters. The aim of this paper is to present and discuss the analyses, evaluations and proposals made for the revitalization of an early industrial settlement through this educational experience.

Antakya, also known as Antioch, is a special historic city for many reasons. It has maintained a unique blend of authentic values
that result from a deep historical background, a rich culture, and a diverse religious population living together with tolerance
and in peace for centuries. As a city in the southeastern corner of Turkey near Syria, its rich cultural identity is reflected
in various aspects and parts of the city. Kurtuluş Avenue is one of the major urban axes of Antakya and is a remarkable
case. It stands out from other parts of the city for having a unique architectural style that is defined by an interesting group
of buildings with characteristics between vernacular and modern. Kurtuluş Avenue, a version of the ancient Herod Road,
was widened and redirected during the French Mandate Period. Half of its buildings were demolished and renewed and the
other half were renovated and reused, creating this particular group of buildings that define this new main artery with a new
Western architectural style. The buildings are the products of a nuanced synthesis with common references to vernacular
and modern architecture. Kurtuluş Avenue can be considered as a good example for the reflections of the transformations
from vernacular to modern architecture and can help to understand this process from a different perspective. With the aim
of analyzing, defining, and presenting the reflections of the transformations of urban and architectural characteristics of the
buildings located along Kurtuluş Avenue, urban morphology and typo-morphological methods are used.

The term of adaptive reuse is determined as the reuse of old buildings for new purposes. This action has social, environmental and economic benefits for cities and their inhabitants. There are many industrial buildings in Famagusta, Cyprus having high potential for reuse. Unfortunately, the industrial buildings in Famagusta, mostly from early 20 th century, are vacant or don't have the appropriate functions. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the potential of industrial buildings and develop an adaptive reuse model for Tenten factory, selected as a case study for this research. The methodology which is used for this study is qualitative research such as review of the literature about adaptive reuse, sketching and mapping of the building and assessment of the features of the building for proper adaptive reuse opportunities. Finally, this study aims to discuss sustainability in adaptive reuse of industrial building.

As it is very well known The Zeyrek quarter is one of the four areas of Istanbul, which was designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Site in 1985. The Zeyrek quarter around the Zeyrek Mosque (the former Byzantine church of the Pantokrator) was described as providing exceptional evidence of late Ottoman urban pattern in criterion 3 [1].  in the inscription. Zeyrek was one of the first designated urban sites in Turkey and the first conservation plans for the site were prepared and approved in 1979 and 1981 [1]. However, Zeyrek could not benefit from being in the WHL of UNESCO, as it deserved and the conservation plans could not be quite enough for preserving its outstanding values. In the state of conservation (SOC) report of 2004, serious losses of timber houses in Zeyrek due to lack of awareness and poorness of local community was stated. The social structure of the area was in an extensive change and the efforts by state and NGOs could not be prevalent, as it could not comprise the users of the buildings.
This study focuses on a part of Zeyrek, and it aims to put forward the current conservation state of the area and to develop proposals.
