Master Thesis Conservation Strategies Against Climate Change Effects on Coastal Historic Settlements: the Case of Kuşadasi Citadel(01.

Faculty of ArchitectureClimate change is currently one of the most essential and fastest-growing threats to people and their heritage around the world. Heritage assets and sites are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to their age and being in constant interaction with the environment and weathering processes. In particular, historic coastal settlements are highly vulnerable to climate change effects due to their proximity to the sea, which may lead to coastal erosion, changing sea levels, abrupt changes in air temperatures, storms and floods that may damage or even lead to the disappearance of these areas. Thus, developing resilience through tailor-made conservation strategies for historic coastal settlements is crucial to transfer them to future generations. In this context, this study discusses the effects of climate change through the example of Kuşadası Citadel, a historical coastal settlement located in the Mediterranean Basin, which is expected to be highly vulnerable to climate change. The study identified the potential conservation problems that may arise from the effects of climate change on the listed and 'façade to be conserved' immovable cultural assets of the Kuşadası Citadel. Accordingly, the study has developed its method. Area-specific climate change impacts were determined, vulnerability and risk analyses were performed, and administrative, site and building-scale conservation strategies were developed. In conclusion, strategies have been developed for the Kuşadası Citadel, which is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, to protect it from these effects at different scales. It is an example of coastal settlement research in the context of climate change adaptation and gives guidance for local-scale conservation efforts.Master Thesis Guidelines To Conservation of Abandoned Balıklıova Village(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Yüceer, Hülya; Yüceer, Hülya; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyCommunities have determined their particular ways of life by shaping their past experiences. These experiences which have developed on people and environment have formed the cultural values through the transmission to future generations. In the rural setting, human interactions are more introverted. As a result, the originality of intangible and tangible values in rural settlements could be conserved more when compared to urban settlements. Unfortunately, some rural settlements have been abandoned for human, natural or other-related reasons. These settlements which are trapped in the period they were abandoned are the most crucial evidence of their time. Many abandoned rural settlements like this in Turkiye are in danger of annihilation. In the literature, a limited number of studies have focused on abandoned villages. Balıklıova, one of the rare examples of abandoned rural settlements, has been conserved with its unique architectural values. Stone houses, public buildings and village square/agora still have the power to make the visitors feel the atmosphere of rural life. Today, the local people of Balıklıova still live nearby and their ongoing interactions with the abandoned village make this place even more unique because the bond between the area and the people is completely broken in many abandoned rural settlements. The human element is one of the essential factors in the revival of the original values of abandoned settlements. In this study, the tangible and intangible values of Balıklıova Village, which was abandoned after the earthquake in 1969, were documented and evaluated. In this context, conservation proposals have been developed to reuse Balıklıova Village and conserve its values in terms of cultural heritage. In addition, the new Balıklıova settlement in the coastal area, which was a part of the abandonment process and where locals live, has been examined within the scope of the thesis. This study is intended to be an exemplary guide for abandoned rural settlements. It has been suggested that it would be valuable to support the conservation and survival endeavor regarding Balıklıova with further studies.
