Master Thesis Conservation Strategies Against Climate Change Effects on Coastal Historic Settlements: the Case of Kuşadasi Citadel(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Çıkıkçı, Süleyman Burçak; Yüceer, Hülya; Baba, AlperClimate 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 Educational Activities for the Presentation of the Values of Cultural Assets To Children(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Baloğlu, Gupse; Çil, ElaDifferent learning methods such as the presentation preferred in the activities carried out in the workshops, education in the museum, visualization, designing, play, historical environment tour, painting, poster production, drama have laid the groundwork for children to experience their cultural assets. Especially with the different perspective gained by these methods, the way children perceive the field they see every day changes. In order to allow this perception to change, it is important to both enrich the content and ensure the continuity of the studies on this subject. The regular and more inclusive dissemination of activities based on active experience will play an important role in achieving these gains. The level of awareness and awareness of the society is of great importance in ensuring the sustainability of the activities in the presentation and protection of cultural assets in the historical environment. It is necessary to include the society in the protection of cultural assets and to understand the values. It is important to gain these values, which constitute the awareness of protection, to people from childhood. The activities carried out in the historical environment were examined for a comprehensive research on the presentation of cultural assets and to examine the definitions made in the conceptual framework aimed with this study.Master Thesis Investigation and Evaluation of Technical, Administrative and Legal Decisions During the Restoration Process of Çakmur Houses(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Çakmur, Tuncer Çağrı; İpekoğlu, BaşakÇakmur Houses building group, that was constructed in the middle of the 19th century, extended with additional spaces and went through various repair works during the 20th century, are one of the rare constructions in the region with its original architectural space and elements. Çakmur Houses are related with the population movements due to Ottoman-Russian wars that took place in South Caucasus in the 19th and 20th centuries. Çakmur Houses located in Gaziler (Bardız) village of Şenkaya district of Erzurum consists of three house structures, two of which adjacent to each other, and the other ancillary spaces around these residences. Residents, that changed due to the wars after the 19th century, constructed both new buildings and added new spaces to existing buildings in Bardız and its surroundings. Çakmur Houses consist of original structures built in this way. The building group was damaged in the Şenkaya earthquake that occurred in 1999. The restoration of Çakmur Houses, registered as an immovable cultural asset in 2008, was completed in 2012. The purpose of this study to analyse the values of the building group and to investigate and evaluate the technical, administrative and legal decisions made during the conservation process according to the international charters, the law numbered 2863 and the principle decisions of Supreme Council for the Conservation of Immovable Cultural Assets. Investigating the steps followed during conservation process of a rural building group will contribute to the prevention of possible similar problems that might occur during the restoration of similar building groups.Master Thesis Archiving of the Conservation Data of Immovable Cultural Assets Dating To 1300-1600 in Urla Center Using Gis(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Yönder, Veli Mustafa; Turan, Mine; Demirkesen, Ali CanThis study aims to create a digital archiving system of immovable cultural assets belonging to the early Turkish time frame in Urla historic center. Forming a database with the assistance of the Geographic Information System (GIS) to comprehend and assess the life stories of monuments and to access various user profiles is also considered. In the methodology section; academic articles, books, journals, personal archives, data acquired from state institutions or architectural offices, and the data obtained during fieldwork (physical status and interviews with users) were processed in a GIS platform. Academic reviews and researches of the buildings were conducted. In the decision-making process, which is a sophisticated and multidimensional process, the share of conservation data and data management in the whole process becomes progressively significant. Documentation and registration of architectural immovable cultural assets, which is one of the important figures in the urban context, are conducted under the supervision of the Regional Directorate of Pious Foundations or the Conservation Board. Therefore, extracting a large number of mass data produced each year and making the required classifications make assist decision-making processes. In the discussion and results part, analysis and comparative study of all conservation data of the cultural assets were performed. The results for constructing the database are understanding the scope, accessibility, developers, scale, and data types. In the results for the conservation data archived: are understanding historical background, physical characteristics, conservation activities, and interpreting conservation decisions about buildings.Master Thesis Problems and Rehabilitation Proposals in the Conservation of the Area Surrounding Süleymaniye Külliyesi(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Alsancak, Handan; İpekoğlu, Başak; Akpınar, Figen; İpekoğlu, Başak; Akpınar, FigenThe settlement located in the Historical Peninsula and around the Süleymaniye Külliye has an urban historical texture composed of Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman ruins and structures. Today, the area between Süleymaniye Külliyesi and İstanbul Textile Traders’ Market is gradually losing its traditional texture characteristics as a result of unqualified interventions, changes in land use and dilapidation. The aim of this study is to analyze the values and problems of the settlement, which was identified as the World Heritage Site and to develop interventions for preserving and sustaining the area with its traditional characteristics. Within the scope of the study, sub-zones were determined by considering the distribution of historical structures in the area, traditional texture characteristics, change and originality in the settlement texture, diversity and distribution of commercial and residential use, conservation and change characteristics. Intervention decisions were developed by evaluating the environmental, architectural and socially examined values and problems. As a result of the study, pedestrianization of the streets with heavy vehicular traffic, design of the registered empty plots, used for parking, as a reinforcement area, design of Emir Madrasah plot as an informative exhibition area about the monument are some interventions on the area scale. On the building scale, restoration of the ruined monuments, use of monumental buildings in accordance with their original use were proposed, building specifications based on building height and footprint for new buildings were determined for the entire commercial area around Kirazlı Mescit Street.Master Thesis Assessment of Izmir Halkapınar Water Pump Station for Its Conservation as Industrial Heritage(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Şener, İdil Ece; İpekoğlu, BaşakNew technologies have been used in water distribution as a result of the modernization brought about by the Industrial Revolution started in Europe in the 18th century. Ottoman Empire also benefited from the technologies when granted privileges to foreign companies to establish water supplies in the port cities. Among these companies, “La Compagnie Ottomane des Eaux de Smyrne” (Ottoman Water Company of İzmir) built Halkapınar Water Pump Station building in İzmir in 1898. The building, which still maintains its original function, is located within the facility of İzmir Water and Sewerage Administration (İZSU) in Halkapınar. It consists of the main pump building and two outbuildings The aim of this study is to analyse the values and problems of the structure and to develop a conservation proposal. The method applied in the study is field survey, archives and literature research. It is a rare example of surviving industrial heritage and has a significance in reflecting the technological developments in water distribution in the 19th century. The problems of the building are poor quality additions and removals implemented throughout the years. As a result of the study, it is proposed to maintain the original function of the building, to remove poor quality additions in the main pump station and on the original outbuilding, to rearrange the original features, and open to public visitation. The proposed interventions considering the values of the building will contribute to the conservation and exhibition of the building as an industrial heritage.Master Thesis Historical Development of Göztepe District in Izmir and Preservation Problems of Its Monuments(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Düzcan, İpek; Turan, MineGöztepe has transformed significantly with the loss of its suburban landscape and historic context of the late 19th century and early 20th century. The transformation of the historical context of the district started during the mid 20th century, when urbanization had caused the invasion of the district with high apartment buildings. The historical value of the site arises from its remaining assets. The study aims to present the historical development of Göztepe and its current preservation problems with an eye on its monuments: Arapyan Ispartalyan House, Susuz Dede Park, Notre Dame de Lourdes Church and Anadolu Apartment Building. The way followed is literature review, site survey, historical and archive research, comparative study, evaluation and discussion. The present historical monuments of Göztepe district had been built at the beginning of the 20th century, except the site of Susuz Dede Park, which originates in Hellenistic period (4th century BC). The types of the studied monuments vary according to their function as one educational, two religious or one residential type; and also, according to their quality as three cultural, and one mixed (cultural and natural). The recognition of the values of the district depends on the sustaining of these assets. It is concluded that the present state of Göztepe district is not successful as a representative of its historical characteristics; rather it indicates an insufficient long-term planning of urban development and conservation-oriented zoning. For the sustainable development of the district, a harmonious balance between the new and the old should be ensured. Preservation of the assets will contribute to presenting a much more valuable whole. A holistic approach is necessary in this manner for revealing the hidden values.Master Thesis Plaster Characteristics of Historic Eski Hamam in Aydın(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Gürhan, Fatma; Böke, HasanAydın Eski Hamam is a typical example of Ottoman period bath buildings. It had been built during 15th-16th centuries, and subjected to extensive interventions by present. The building was registered in 2001, and excavation, cleaning and measured surveys were carried out in 2016-2017. The aim of this study is to determine the characteristics of the horasan and lime plasters of Eski Hamam. Within this purpose, horasan and lime plasters, joint mortars and building bricks were collected from the bath. Basic physical properties, raw material compositions, microstructural and hydraulic properties of plasters, mineralogical and chemical compositions of binders and aggregates, and pozzolanic activities of aggregates were determined by standard test methods, XRD and SEM-EDS analyses in order to shed light on the restoration implementations. The results revealed that all the studied samples were of low density and high porosity. Physical, chemical and microstructural properties of plasters did not differ according to the space, level and layer they had been used. Horasan plasters had been prepared by using pure lime and brick aggregates. Lime plasters used on the upper levels had been produced by using pure lime and small amount of fine sand. Horasan plasters were hydraulic due to the use of pozzolanic aggregates. Brick aggregates had been manufactured by using raw material sources containing high amounts of clay minerals, and fired at low temperatures. Lime plasters and mortars had hydraulic properties due to the use of pozzolanic natural aggregates.Master Thesis Structural Conservation of Cevher Paşa Bath in Kale, Denizli(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Durmuşlar, Feyza; Turan, Mine; Aktaş, EnginThe study has focused on structural conservation of a historical monument in an archeological site. Cevher Paşa Bath, which is located in Kale (ancient Tabae) archeological site in Denizli and dated to the 15th century, is selected as the case study. The aim of the study is to propose a framework for structural conservation of the ruins of Cevher Paşa Bath so that conservation work regarding similar masonry ruins in archeological sites belonging to Turkish period can be guided. First, the bath was documented by using 3D Laser Scanner. Then, historical and theoretical framework including development of baths, loads of masonry buildings and evaluation of interventions in similar cases was constituted. Characteristics of the case study was defined in terms of location, landform, history, site and mass characteristics, architectural features, structural characteristics, structural calculations and alteration analysis. Condition report of the bath was prepared in form of tables. To identify original state of the bath, restitution was carried out. Nevertheless, the restoration approach is not reintegration, but only consolidation and presentation in order to sustain integrity with the archaeological site whole. Therefore, to prevent further damages, emergency interventions such as temporary shoring are proposed. Structural calculations have revealed that strength of the walls corresponds to stresses and overturning moment. So, the restoration work includes only supporting of arch remains and the weakest corner of the bath, which was determined by calculations. Some walls of the ruin are weaker than other parts. These parts need further analysis by civil engineers, and if necessary, consolidation can be carried out. The monument management plan points out the necessity of collaboration of Kale Municipality, RT Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Aydın Regional Council for Conservation of Cultural Assets, Directorate of Excavations in General Directorate of Cultural Assets and Museums, Aydın Conservation Implementation and Inspection Office, Department of Architectural Restoration and Department of Civil Engineering of IZTECH and History of Art Department of Ege University, and monitoring of the changes the bath four times in every year.Master Thesis Understanding Gölde (i̇ncesu) With Its Tangible and Intangible Characteristics(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Eken, Esra; Kul Özdemir, Fatma NurşenInternational conservation agenda focuses on the significance of understanding rural heritage with a holistic approach considering both tangible and intangible aspects. However, tangible aspects are still the main concern of legal documents as well as academic discussions in Turkey. Thus, most of rural heritage sites are either demolished or lost its authentic characteristics without being understood and documented inclusively. This study aims a holistic understanding of Gölde (İncesu) rural settlement within the border of Kula where Muslim Turkish and Orthodox Rum communities lived together until the beginning of the 20th century. Considering the aim of the study; both tangible and intangible characteristics of Gölde are deciphered by using different information sources; observation and analysis of the physical environment for tangible, and narratives of the present Muslim and past Orthodox Rum inhabitants for intangible. Thus; continuing, changed and lost values of Gölde could be evaluated. The results of the study made it clear that analysis of the sole physical environment in not enough to understand a place with all its dimensions. Intangible characteristics that shaped and/or performed in this physical environment should be also understood.
