Review Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 11A Literature Review on the Management of Underwater Cultural Heritage(Elsevier, 2023) Bulut, Nihan; Yüceer, HülyaManaging cultural heritage is difficult, even when presented with many opportunities. The management of underwater cultural heritage (UCH) expands these challenges, as issues such as mapping, monitoring, access, presentation, and ownership can become more complex. This article reviews the existing literature on theoretical research and various case studies in order to establish common themes on the management of UCH. Initially, a keyword search was carried out in two of the most extensive scientific databases. Publications were reviewed according to several criteria. Various data have been obtained, such as the change in the number of publications over the years, which journals are more interested in the subject, which topics are at the forefront, which places are preferred for case studies, and who are more likely to conduct research. The results show that the studies on the management of UCH mainly focus on evaluating the current management examples and their issues, policy development, legislation, and documentation of the sites. The cultural heritage in the case studies varies from archaeological and architectural remains to shipwrecks and, sometimes, movable objects, despite the emphasis on in-situ built heritage in the search criteria. Meanwhile, the researchers are primarily from universities in Western countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. Additionally, many publications evaluate national policies and emphasize the importance of public participation, interpretation, and access. While still not much compared to land heritage, the number of studies has increased over the years. As the results of the review are discussed, suggestions are offered for possible future publications.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Profiling the Bacterial Diversity in Historic Limestone From Anazarbos Archaeological Site by Advanced Molecular and Spectroscopic Techniques(University of the Aegean, 2022) Aydın, Rozelin; İpekci, Emre; Daday, Mine Taykurt; Yüceer, Hülya; Böke, HasanThe architectural remains as well as sculptures, mosaics, and other artifacts in the archaeological sites are mostly made of stone and susceptible to biodeterioration by microorganisms. Bacterial communities are known to have the most effective role in biological deterioration in stones. The ancient city of Anazarbos (Anavarza), chosen as the study area, is the 1st Degree Archaeological Site in the vicinity of Dilekkaya Village, Kozan District, about 70 km north of Adana. The microbiological, chemical, mineralogical, and microstructural properties of stone samples taken from different places were studied in this research. Samples were taken from i) where no deterioration occurred, ii) where different forms of deterioration were observed, iii) archaeological deposits, iii) archaeological deposits that came from deteriorated stone samples area. Spectroscopic, thermal, and microscopic techniques applied included: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive System (SEM-EDS), Thermogravimetric Analysis/Differential Thermal Analysis (TG/DTA). The bacterial biodiversity was analyzed by the application of Illumina-based next-generation sequencing methods. Results show intense biological colonisations with clay minerals on limestone surfaces. A patina of clay minerals was observed on newly excavated stone surfaces, while biological colonisations have not yet intensified. The metabarcoding analysis showed 15 bacterial phyla. The Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were the most abundant phyla in both stones and archaeological deposits samples. Human activity (intensive agriculture, animal husbandry), accumulation of rainwater in excavated areas adversely affects stones, which leads to acceleration of biological deterioration in stones. Thus, all features of the site require multi-faceted studies prior to unearthing of archaeological remains.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9The Tourism Potential of Post-Mining Heritage Sites: The Cyprus Mining Cooperation in Lefka, Cyprus(Springer, 2022) Oktay Vehbi, Beser; Mısırlısoy, Damla; Günçe, Kağan; Yüceer, HülyaThe mining sites have geo-scientific, industrial, cultural, aesthetic, economic, historic and anthropological potentials for the development of tourism. Lefka with an ancient history of mining and having rich geodiversity as well as various historical and cultural monuments, archaeological sites along with poor economic conditions can develop tourism with mining tourism goals. The study aims to examine the tourism potential of post-mining heritage sites as part of a strategic approach and tool for planning that encourages local development through the case of the Cyprus Mining Cooperation (CMC), a derelict copper mining field in Lefka, North Cyprus. Established during the British administration of the island, CMC covers a large area that comprises of mine fields, processing units, laboratories, workers houses and other related public buildings serving the whole complex, which were left derelict about sixty years ago. The study presents the values—scientific, aesthetic, economic, historical and cultural—associated with the site and its components, the criteria for their conservation and reuse opportunities for tourism purposes. Conservation strategies are suggested within the framework of ‘mining tourism’ to present the heritage significance of the site.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Valuing Groundwater Heritage: the Historic Wells of Kadıovacık(Springer, 2021) Yüceer, Hülya; Baba, Alper; Özcan Gönülal, Yasemin; Uştuk, Ozan; Gerçek, Deniz; Güler, Selen; Uzelli, TaygunThe consideration of the subject of water resources, seen as a part of cultural heritage, generally includes water-related architectural structures such as bridges, aqueducts, and cisterns. Groundwater resources and related structures, however, receive little attention as heritage assets, and they are mostly forgotten together with the valuable information they hold. In this sense, this study aims to provide an accurate assessment of groundwater heritage and to suggest proposals for conservation through the case of the historic wells of Kadıovacık village in the Urla district of İzmir. Although the region where the village is located is rich in groundwater resources, the residents have suffered from drought for ages due to the specific geological characteristics of the Kadıovacık polje. The limited amount of water resources in Kadıovacık village have karstic characteristics and have shaped the life and topography of the region. To access and harvest this limited groundwater, a group of wells had been constructed on the ridge of the hill. These wells have been idle since 1980s with the supply of city main water. In line with the aim, a comprehensive heritage valuation by an interdisciplinary group of experts is essential to reveal the significance of the relatively humble wells. Accordingly, a multi-method system is used, including historical, social, cultural, architectural, geological, hydrogeological, and environmental aspects. The results show that although the wells are generally considered to be less important as heritage assets in terms of their physical features, an in-depth evaluation demonstrates their high significance for the village community.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3The Ancient City of Anazarbos and Its Significance as a World Heritage Site(Springer, 2021) Yüceer, Hülya; Gülsen, F. Fatih; Aydın, Rozelin; Güler, SelenThe concept of world heritage constitutes an important political, cultural and economic agenda in contemporary society, even though it has been criticized for being Eurocentric. In the case of developing countries such as Turkey, inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List helps generate much needed income through grants and tourism activity. There are currently eighteen sites in Turkey that are on the World Heritage List, and another eighty-three on the tentative list, the majority of which have been inscribed in the last decade. However, such an acceleration of attempts to promote sites as world heritage because of their attributes can also lead to conflicts about the values of the sites, project management, community enhancement and the degree to which important related studies are carried out. The ancient city of Anazarbos is one that exemplifies such a situation. The site's history as cultural and military cross-roads in the Cilicia region, and the potential to reveal those who successively inhabited and controlled it paved the way to its inclusion in the tentative list in 2014 by meeting the outstanding universal values. In this context, this study aims to provide an accurate background of in the hope of raising its status so that further research can be carried out. The study first presents the case for the concept of world heritage and then offers a thorough assessment of the city in terms of its heritage significance. Following a discussion on the values associated with the site and the changing dynamics after its inclusion to the list, the study concludes with suggestions for its holistic conservation.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Impacts of Tourism-Led Constructions on Geoheritage Sites: the Case of Gilindire Cave(Springer, 2020) Aydın, Rozelin; Yüceer, HülyaGeological heritage sites are of great importance both for better understanding of the formation of the earth and for transferring its memory to future generations. People's curiosity to access this information leads to tourism activity, in which caves constitute a significant place as sources of geotouristic attractions. In the case of Turkey, caves can also be considered as the major source of tourist attractions and thus economic gain providers for local communities. Focusing on the contribution of tourism to the economy, most local authorities allow tourism activity for the caves without adequate research. This leads to the construction of buildings for the needs of visitors and the installation of walking pathways, ladders, and luminaires inside the caves, which are in most cases harmful to cave ecosystems. Located on the Mediterranean coastline of Turkey, Gilindire Cave presents such a case. Unlike other caves in Turkey, it is among three caves that were found to occur in the Cambrian limestone caves literature. Thus, any data to be detected in this environment is of scientific importance. However, service buildings constructed in the upper elevation of the cave and visitor stairs and luminaires installed in the interior constitute major threats to accessing this valuable information. In this context, the study aims to examine the caves in the scope of geotourism and tourism-led constructions through the example of Gilindire Cave. As a result, the study underpins the importance of diligent investigation of cave ecosystems prior to any tourism-led activity and principles for the service structures to be built in such geoheritage sites.
