Conference Object Evaluation of Architectural Characteristics for Conservation Decisions of Degirmendagi, Izmir, Turkey(Trans Tech Publications, 2010) Kaplan, Çağlayan Deniz; Mürtezaoğlu, Fulya; Akbulut, Özge; İpekoğlu, BaşakHistorical settlements, which are integral parts of the cultural heritage, should be documented and evaluated with their local characteristics. The aim of this study is to document, analyze and evaluate the architectural, environmental and social characteristics of an urban settlement called Deǧirmendaǧı District, which has a historical background beginning with the Roman period to the present, in the center of metropolitan city of İzmir, on the Aegean coast of Turkey. The settlement is one of the earliest that was planned by local administration in İzmir and contributes to the İzmir silhouette with its location on a steep hillside in the township of Konak. Documentation methods used are sketches, photography and architectural and social questionnaires. Inventory cards were prepared to collect architectural characteristics of each building and the social questionnaires were comprised of socio-economic characteristics of the settlers. Data gathered at the site was analyzed and evaluated to develop a conservation approach, including historical review of the ancient era. Since the area is easily accessible and close to city center, the area becomes attractive. It has the advantage of the vista based on its inclined topography and grid-planned scheme. Deǧirmendaǧı District is a special area requiring special conservation within the city of İzmir. However, historical pattern has changed through the years because of changing lifestyle. The area, which is one of the most important and valuable districts in İzmir considering its history, location, and architectural characteristics should be integrated with the city and citizens. This study documents the present potentials and values of the area and forms a basis to prepare conservation approaches.Master Thesis Evalution of Stone Weathering of Aigai Bouleuterion After Its Excavation(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2009) Kaplan, Çağlayan Deniz; İpekoğlu, BaşakArchaeological sites have to be investigated and conserved as a whole to have a better knowledge of our past. In this study, Aigai Bouleuterion in Manisa was investigated to evaluate the stone weathering and conservation problems of an excavated archaeological monument. It is also aimed to analyze the weathering process of stone material while buried and the contribution of this process to the deterioration after the excavation. For this purpose, the building was documented by photographs and drawings and several laboratory studies were carried out on both the soil and stone samples collected from the excavated parts of the building. Samples were investigated with by using XRD, SEM-EDX, TGA and FT-IR and chemical analyses. Andesite, used as a building material of the bouleuterion and the soils are both composed of the minerals of microline, orthoclase, sanidine, albite, andesine, labradorite, anorthite, muscovite, cristoballite, tridymite, quartz, kyanite, mullite and orthoferrosilite. Less amounts of organic materials, carbonate and soluble salt contents were found in the samples. The clay minerals found in the samples are halloysite, illite, kaolinite, montmorrillonite and saponite.The penetration of clay minerals to the stone structure, forming a weathering zone with the presence of clay in the cracks was determined with SEM analysis. The weathering zones of the stones range between 1 cm and 2.4 cm from the exterior surface. When the average seasonal values for the environment are examined, the weathering effect of the clays after excavation of stones generally occurs in winter months due to low temperature and high humidity values.
