    Evaluation of Architectural Characteristics for Conservation Decisions of Degirmendagi, Izmir, Turkey
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2010) Kaplan, Çağlayan Deniz; Mürtezaoğlu, Fulya; Akbulut, Özge; İpekoğlu, Başak
    Historical 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.

    The Accelerating Effects of the Microorganisms on Biodeterioration of Stone Monuments Under Air Pollution and Continental-Cold Climatic Conditions in Erzurum, Turkey
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Nuhoğlu, Yaşar; Ensar, Oğuz; Uslu, Hakan; Özbek, Ahmet; İpekoğlu, Başak; Ocak, İjlal; Hasenekoğlu, İsmet
    The aim of this research was to determine the accelerating effects of microorganisms on the biodeterioration of stone under air pollution and continental-cold climatic region in Erzurum, Turkey. Studies have been carried out on specimens of the Rustempasa Bazaar, the Lalapasa Mosque, the Erzurum Castle Mosque, the Double Minarets-Madrasah, the Great Mosque and the Haji Mehmet Fountain aged from 441 to 823 years old. The results showed that vegetative and reproductive (generative) forms of the microorganisms could develop during the winter months when the night time average temperature was even - 25 °C. Also the reproductive forms had developed and the whole stone surface was covered with a biofilm caused by the microorganisms. Silicon, aluminum, calcium, potassium, titanium, magnesium, zinc, sulfur, iron, sodium, and niobium were found in the stones of the historical buildings with varying amounts through the SEM-EDS analysis. Some of these elements could be used as an energy resource for the microorganisms together with the air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particles on the stone surfaces. Of 21 isolates, 15 species from 6 bacterium genera and 5 species from 5 fungi genera plus 1 fungi genera were identified on the deteriorated stone surfaces even during the coldest months by microbial identification system (MIS) and these findings were tested by SEM investigations.

    Evalution of Stone Weathering of Aigai Bouleuterion After Its Excavation
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2009) Kaplan, Çağlayan Deniz; İpekoğlu, Başak
    Archaeological 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.

    Critique of Legislation by Scientific-Technical Criteria: Toward Classification of Cultural Properties in Turkey
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2007) Marmasan, Önder; İpekoğlu, Başak
    The subject of the study is the contemporary conservation of immovable cultural properties. Eminent charters and conventions from the issue of Venice Charter to the present which show technical and legal quality were examined to determine the changes in time. As the study area physically limited with Turkey, immovable cultural properties that were conserved, investigated at Turkish legal texts and acts in force. Aim of the study is to investigate a systematic approach to fix the immovable cultural properties that show some kind of characteristics and applicable within the conditions and potentials of the country. Samples of immovable cultural properties were selected by examination of local geographical magazines, folkloric researches, experiences and official correspondence in addition to identifications at legal texts. During the study (i) some of the administrative institutions. awareness about the troubles of fixing immovable cultural properties (ii) essence of a systematic way defining immovable cultural properties (iii) presence of considerable number of folkloric research resources that show the relation between traditions and physical environment (iv) conflicts at fixation and registration decisions about identical immovable properties and absence of conservation policy that depends on technical and legal basis (v) absence of a national inventory of immovable cultural properties although there is an insufficient unofficial efforts (vi) a new legal attempt to reorganize the administrative institutions were all observed. The study defined a framework for classification of immovable properties that were left out the official conservation process and generally located at the fringes of settlements or at rural. In this context criteria for classification determined and listed for making investigation of inclusion class for each immovable property. Finally recommendations for reorganization of conservation institutions proposed.

    Investigation of Conservation Problems of the Prophet Ellias (elijah) Church in Izmir
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2011) Korkmaz, Doğay; İpekoğlu, Başak
    The Prophet Elias Church is one of the Greek Orthodox Churches that was built in the 19th century and has survived to the present time together with Aya Voukla and Doğanlar Church in Izmir. The purpose of this study is to examine the architectural characteristics and structural problems of this building while determining its values to be preserved, to assess conservation problems and to ensure that this structure is protected along with its original qualities. In line with this purpose, architectural measurements were taken to determine the present condition of the building by primarily employing conventional techniques, as well as, an electronic tachometer and two-dimensional drawings of the church were created in computer environment. Moreover, by means of visual observation, the architectural and structural characteristics, and structural problems of the building were determined along with the changes it went through in time. The information obtained was transferred to ArcGIS program to establish an information system that can be updated, and questioned and would allow addition of new information determined under different disciplines. By means of comparative study, historical research and a restitution study the original features and values requiring preservation of the building were determined. In the results of these studies a restoration project was prepared and the new function for the building is proposed as a multi-purpose hall. As a result of the study conducted, detailed information regarding the architectural characteristics of the building have been obtained while the conservation problems were examined and recommendations were made in regards to further studies to take place.
