    20. yüzyıl dönümünde Gölde (İncesu): Tarihsel ve mekansal bir okuma
    (2023) Eken Güney, Esra; Kul, Fatma Nurşen; Aksu Kılıç, Leyla
    Gölde, günümüzdeki adıyla İncesu, Manisa İli, Kula İlçesi’ne bağlı kırsal bir yerleşimdir. Günümüzde nüfusunu büyük oranda kaybeden ve çoğunlukla yaşlıların yaşadığı yerleşim 19. yüzyıl boyunca ve 20. yüzyılın başında Müslüman Türk ve Ortodoks Rumların ortak yaşam alanı olmuştur. Savaş sonrasında Rumların yerleşimi terk etmesinin ardından zaman içerisinde köyden kentlere doğru artan göç hareketleriyle Gölde büyük ölçüde nüfus kaybına uğramış, buna bağlı olarak da yapılı çevrede bir dönemki ortak yaşama dair izler yok olmaya başlamıştır. Bu çalışma, Gölde’de iki topluluğun birlikte yaşadığı dönemi; Osmanlı arşiv vesikaları, sözlü tarih çalışmaları ve saha incelemelerinden gelen veriler ışığında çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Büyük oranda özgünlüğünü koruyarak günümüze gelebilen yapılı çevre ile sözlü tarih çalışmaları ekonomik ve sosyal hayatı anlamanın yanında, yüzyıl dönümündeki fiziksel çevreyi de anlamamıza olanak sağlamaktadır. Osmanlı arşiv belgeleri yapılı çevreye dair bilgi vermemekle birlikte 19. yüzyılın özellikle ilk yarısındaki ekonomik ve sosyal durumun değişimini aktarmaktadır. Bu veriler aynı zamanda sözlü görüşmelerden gelen çoğu bilginin yorumlanmasına olanak sağlamaktadır. Bu sebeple metin içerisinde kronolojik bir sıra takip edilmemiş, yüzyıl dönümüne odaklanılmış, gerekli yerlerde 19. yüzyıla ait arşiv verileri çağırılarak sözlü görüşmelerden ve alan çalışmasından gelen bilgilerle birlikte değerlendirilmiştir.

    Defining the Impacts of Historical Development Activities on Urban Heritage of Iskenderun (alexandretta)
    (Konya Teknik Üniversitesi, 2023) Nalça Kıssaboylu, Canan; Kul, Fatma Nurşen; Rifaioğlu, Mert Nezih
    Iskenderun, also known as Alexandretta in antiquity, has long been a strategically significant port city in the Eastern Mediterranean thanks to its natural harbour. Due to its advantageous location, the settlement began to rapidly urbanize after the mid-19th century as a result of the impacts of Ottoman and later the French Mandate period development activities. This article focuses on defining the influences of historical development activities on the urban heritage of Iskenderun by understanding and evaluating various efforts that lie behind the formation of the city as an important trade centre and port city connecting the Middle East, Asia Minor, and Europe. By doing so, the formation, development and transformation of the settlement are chronologically deciphered regarding its historical turning points: the mid-19th century Ottoman period, the beginning of the French Mandate period (1919), and the joining of Iskenderun to the Republic of Turkiye (1939). Accordingly, the characteristics of the urban form, the ways these characteristics were transformed, and the problems and strategies encountered within different periods are decoded. This decoding employed a combined methodology, including historical interpretation and case study research methods. The results of the study reveal that Iskenderun has experienced different solutions for problems of infrastructure within the different periods, as a reflection of different political understandings and public and social needs among those periods.

    Builders and Building Tradition of Barbaros as Intangible Cultural Heritage
    (İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, 2022) Sarıbekiroğlu, Şeyma; Kul, Fatma Nurşen
    This paper aims to document the traditional builders and their know-how in a particular geography, namely the rural settlement of Barbaros in the Urla district of Izmir, Turkey. It aims to shed light on the actors of the building traditions of Barbaros, the process of knowledge transfer among builders, and the traditional know-how related to local building materials and construction techniques as intangible cultural heritage. The research method of this study includes literature review, site survey, and study of oral history. Literature sources provided the theoretical background and limited information related to the history of Barbaros. To understand the traditional building stock in Barbaros, site surveys were conducted in 2016, 2017, and 2020. An oral history study was done with the last living builders and the relatives of late builders. These narratives provided invaluable information for answering the research questions. The results of the study contribute to the conservation of intangible heritage by recording the know-how of the last bearers of traditional construction in Barbaros. This documented experience can be used in future restoration projects not only in Barbaros but also in surrounding settlements with the same traditional construction features. The results of the study are also remarkable in terms of revealing the importance of oral history in documentation studies.

    Traditional Dwellings of Gölde (i̇ncesu): a Rural Heritage in the Process of Change
    (Routledge, 2021) Eken, Esra; Kul, Fatma Nurşen
    Gölde, officially named İncesu, is a rural settlement located in Aegean Anatolia. Before the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923, Gölde hosted both Orthodox Rum and Muslim Turkish communities. Despite out-migration since 1923, traditional life continued in the settlement with a small population that now comprises mostly elderly Turkish people. This paper aims to understand traditional Gölde dwelling units by analysing the influence of daily-life practices, customs, traditions and values through interviews with current locals and the oral testimonies of former Rum inhabitants. A site survey identified 136 traditional dwelling units, 68 of which are still inhabited. Site reconstruction analysis revealed the original condition of 90 dwelling units. These formed the primary focus of investigation. No major differences were found between houses originally belonging to the Rum and Turkish communities. However, the study identified significant adaptations of the dwelling units in line with changing socio-cultural conditions over time.

Based on this data, it was possible toestablish the type of projects that were implemented in Izmir, the designingpersons or institutions, their design criteria and the school constructionprocesses
