Doctoral Thesis A Strategy for Disaster Risk Management Regarding Deliberate Destruction of Historic Urban Sites: Antakya, Turkiye(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Mamaklı, Fatma Sezgi; Turan, MineThe protection process of cultural heritage before, during, and after a possible deliberate destruction is not well defined in the Turkish legal system. This study aims to present a deliberate destruction risk management plan (DRMP) for historic urban sites considering all phases of deliberate destruction risk with an emphasis on before destruction phase. Suggesting the content of the future work for during and after destruction phases and simulating the proposed before destruction measures for the historic urban site around Uzun Çarşı Street and Habib-i Neccar Mosque in Antakya are among the objectives. DRMP was proposed for historic urban sites by defining the techniques of risk management: assessment, reduction, mapping, and implementation. Risk factors for traditional streets and heritage buildings in a historic urban site were determined with reference to numerical and categorical data of physical properties, heritage values, and managerial characteristics. Risk parameters were determined as hazard and exposure, vulnerability, and coping capacity which were calculated with risk factors. Risk assessment and risk reduction implementation and mapping were prepared as a guideline by the collaboration of information coming from the site survey and literature review. The preparedness of historic urban sites against deliberate destructions was increased by the risk reduction strategies of DRMP. Results obtained by implementation of risk assessment strategies of DRMP to the case study area showed that the southeast of the case study area has high risk level. The implementation of risk reduction strategies created a dramatic decrease of risk level from high to low for most of the traditional streets and heritage buildings.Doctoral Thesis Evolution of the Castle Towns in Southwestern Anatolia and a Framework for Their Preservation(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Etlacakuş, Ayşen; Hamamcıoğlu Turan, Mine; Turan, MineThis study aims to develop a framework for understanding the evolution of historic castle towns and their landscapes to guide their holistic preservation. Kale Tavas (Tabae), Honaz (Chonae), and Beçin Castles in Southwest Anatolia were studied. Historic Landscape Characterization method was supported with studies at settlement and network scales, time-depth studies based on primary sources, and comparative studies with similar castle towns on the same network and abroad. Understanding the evolution of the castle towns together with their landscapes is indispensable: topography composed of low and high elevation zones, landform constituted of mountains, mesas, plateaus, plains, valleys, brooks; and land cover defined by agricultural areas, shrublands, Mediterranean woodland and residential areas. The period at which the castle towns had developed should be defined: 16th century for Kale Tavas, 9th century for Honaz and 13th century for Beçin. The commercial route linking each castle to its network should be understood west-east axis at the north of the Toros Mountains. At castle scale, land use, solid-void, relations of lot and buildings should be understood. Completion of listing of the castle towns as archeological sites and development of a legal status for their landscapes; presentation of the vista points both from the castle and from the landscape, the traces, and remains of ditches, zaviyes, bridges, caravan and migration routes, possible tent positions and settlement pattern; avoiding of reconstructions and utilization of this heritage data in the management and development of the landscape are necessary for the holistic preservation and presentation of castle town.Doctoral Thesis Integration of Archaeological Sites With Urban Life in the Metropolitan City Centres: the Case of Agora of Smyrna/İzmir(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Çalışkan, Merve; Turan, MineThis thesis aims to identify the parameters for the integration of archaeological sites in metropolitan city centres with urban life. The Agora of Smyrna was chosen as the case. The method proposed has five phases: Literature review, archival research, physical and social surveys; the Delphi study; and statistic evaluation. The Delphi study was used to define integration criteria and their weights. The correlation and regression analysis were carried out to define the content and level of integration of the citizens with the site. Sequential according of the criteria set with information coming from different sources such as literature, social surveys and Delphi study distinguishes this study from the previous work. Identification of weights of criteria via the structured communication technique made it possible to attribute significance to the outstanding aspects of integration. The indicators of each criterion were clarified and criteria were classified to define integration concepts. So, an integration framework with a hierarchical structure was developed. The integration concepts “Possesing physical access”, “Possessing social usage”, “Being a well-presented site”, “Being a well-managed site”, and the “Presence of public concern for the conservation of the site” were identified as significant for integration. New integration concepts such as “Providing benefits to its vicinity”, “Being surrounded by a qualified urban area”, and “Awareness and positive perceptions of the site’s vicinity” were identified. “Presence of public concern for the conservation of the site” is the most important integration concept whereas “Providing benefits to its vicinity” is the least important integration concept for the case of Agora. The integration level of Agora with urban life and the integration of the citizens with the site was determined as moderate.
