Ayder bu olgunun en belirgin olduğu kırsal yerleşmelerden biridir. Bölgeye sahip olduğu doğal güzellikleri ve yöresel mimari özellikleri nedeniyle turistik talep giderek artmaktadır. Ancak, turistik talep büyüdüğü için yerleşmede uygulanmaya çalışılan koruma planı üzerindeki iç ve dış baskılar da giderek artmaktadır. Oysa tasarım sürecinden uygulama sürecine kadar koruma planı, birçok aşamayı içinde barındıran, uzun soluklu ve dinamik bir süreçtir. Bu süreç içinde oluşan en küçük aksaklık planın uygulanabilirliğini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Çalışma alanı olan Ayder yerleşmesindeki aksamalar, planın onaylanma ve hatta hazırlanma aşamasında başlamıştır. Bölgenin doğal sit alanı, turizm merkezi ve Milli park statüsünde olması, yetki karmaşasının yaşanmasına ve uygulamada belirsiz bir döngünün oluşmasına neden olmaktadır. ...

These elements enable users establish visual or physical relationship with the city, they are three-dimensional elements which provide visual richness and identity to the city and to define, identify and specialize the environment in terms of the city. As stated in Gestalt theory, perception of urban elements is the impact in the whole organized by the relationship between the element and other elements in its sight. In order to present the whole, the sight and viewpoint that change depending on the vertical and horizontal eye movements in different distances are to be discussed. Regarding the design of urban elements, the sight and viewpoint play important roles in making decisions for connecting the element with the main circulation of the place and designing other stable and moving elements such as tree, people, building and furniture surrounding the element. In this sense Ataturk Monument in Meydan Parki, one of the important focal points of Trabzon with its historical background and sustainability of city, is evaluated by the users as part of Gestalt theory and principles. The purpose of the study is to identify, in the distance with the highest perceptibility, how these urban elements are perceived and whether the other elements in the sight are effective in perception of the element or not. What the users perceive and how they perceive it in the point with the highest perceptibility, what are the prominent Gestalt theories and principles in the photo with the highest perceptibility, and these theory and principles are studied by means of the students of landscape architecture with different degrees. The study is composed of two sections, introduction and research. In the introduction, perception, environmental perception, factors that affect the perception, and Gestalt theory and principles are briefly explained whereas in the research the purpose of the study, the field of the study, the stages and the methods of the study are determined and as an analysis of data, results, discussions and conclusions are found out. The study indicates that the design problems of the urban elements are not limited with the single design of the element but also the contextual and perceptual aspects have to be discussed and interdisciplinary studies are required. It has been come through that in designing urban elements, determining where the

The individual uses the distinctinve differences as a tool in the need of this classifying progress. The works of literature, painting, music, sculptor, theatre, movies and architecture are obtained as a result of individual progress of understanding the environment by classifying the distinctive differences. Among all these branches of arts architecture is painting a more gruelling field in this semantic construction activity. Because, architecture is not only visual, but also can be experienced physically. Above all, the work of architecture is a combine of different knowledge branches and this the makes work of architecture even more contradictory. In this study, there is a debate about how the work of architecture can be explained in the concept of beautiness and ugliness. The topic of this debate, use the frameworks of the que...

A set of 18 body dimensions was taken from 154 males and 132 females. It is considered that the 18 parameters are necessary for the design of school furniture, fittings and equipment in order to minimize musculoskeletal, visual and circulatory problems resulting from badly designed elements. This study identified significant gender differences in a set of 18 anthropometrical measures in this subject group.

Investigating, learning, documenting and transferring to the future the values of these spaces, which are bridges between past and future, are vitally important for the maintenance of the cities. This analytical study carried out in Ü c-Ku¨mbetler and its vicinity in the historical city of Erzurum-where historical and traditional urban elements such as religious buildings, traditional houses, streets, and fountains are intense-aimed at fulfilling these ends. The study contains an introduction, a description of the area of study, an investigation of the historical buildings in the site, an analysis of the streets and dwellings in the site, and conclusions. In the lights of the data obtained through the investigation and measurement of the buildings in the site, the streets were analysed and evaluated under the headings of street types and factors affecting the perception; and the dwellings were analysed and evaluated under the headings of interior space and elements-factors affecting the formation of facades .

Silhouettes are the faces of physical structure and historical accumulation of cities. But today many cities are full of buildings that are incompatible with each other, that are disrespectful to the environment and that have no identity. Generally, city silhouettes consist of concrete façades, they have changed into common appearances that do not stamp themselves in people's minds, and the historical environments have disappeared in this chaos. Trabzon is a coastal city where green and blue meets and which were famous for its orchards, tangerine gardens and terraces that reached the coast. But rapid and unplanned urbanization is changing the city. Moreover, with its history of thousands of years, it is not possible to see these riches effectively in the city which carries the traces of different civilisations. This paper seeks to investigate the traces of change and transformation that the city has undergone in the silhouette of the city. Interventions in the city and visual pollutions in the city silhouette as a result of these interventions will be considered. In this context, by comparing the new photos of the city with the old ones, the aesthetic value and visual quality of the city will be evaluated.

By grouping the residents of the home according to their age, gender, marital status, occupation, health conditions, cultural status, and economic conditions, their expectations are determined. Physical conditions of the home are also examined in order to determine whether the necessities of the residents are met or not. The questionnaire consisting of 75 questions is applied to 60 people, and 4500 data points are analyzed by using SPSS software. In the results of this study, physical deficiencies that require elderly persons want to be in Trabzon Old Person's Home are determined. It is also determined that 86.7% of the residents are pleased with living in the old persons' home and they could get used to living in the old persons' home but 73.3% of the residents do not want to send someone in their family to the old person's home. These contradictory results show that residents do not want to live in old person's home but they adapt in there because of compulsoriness. This situation affects the residents' psychological well-being in a negative way.

While the majority of the settlements of these civilizations are still present where they were founded, there are some historical cities that have disappeared or moved to another place; while some are known with their names only in old sources, the ruins of some of them are found, and some continue to exist in other places because the original places of foundation of the cities were deserted. One of the cities which sought its continuity in another place is Argyropolis. The city which was founded on a sloping area with rich silver mines and which was spread along heights of 1400-1500 m, moved to a valley of a height of 1150 m and some 4 km away from its original place of foundation because of the loss of its socioeconomic power. In its original place of foundation, the city was called as Argyropolis and Canca, respectively. After the city was left it was called Eskis-ehir (Old City) and Eski Gu¨mu¨s-hane (Old Gu¨mu¨s-hane), respectively; and when it lost its status as a city and reduced to the status of a neighborhood it was called Su¨leymaniye (The City of Suleiman). The names given to the old city before it reduced to the status of a neighborhood and to the new city refer to the 'silver mines', which were an indication of the economic condition of the city. The closure of these mines was to the desertion of the city what the running of these mines was to its foundation and development. In general, it is aimed to investigate reasons of transformation from a rich city from a small neighborhood of Old Gu¨mu¨s-hane city. With that aim, Byzantine and Ottoman buildings in the scope of this study have been researched and evaluated. The study consists of four sections: (1) Introduction, (2) Fieldwork, stages of the study and the analyses of the examined samples; determining the boundaries of the area of study, determining the actual places of the buildings and ruins on the ground and showing them on the site plan, drawing the plans showing the original states of the buildings, drawing the plans showing the original states of the historical buildings and ruins, analyzing the architectural characteristics of the periods that they belong to based on the relevant literature, determining the historical processes depending both on the interviews made with the people living in the area and on the inscriptions on the buildings on the site. For each sample whose original design was determined, creating identity cards including its plan, cross-section, facade (as the main facade) and history, a section explaining its present condition, and its photos, preparing a model of the site and placing the buildings, building traces and the roads on it. (3) General evaluation. (4) Conclusions.

Kentlerin olumsuz büyüme ve gelişmeleri, toplumların yüzlerce yıllık birikim ve deneyiminin sonucunda sahip oldukları ve kentlerin genel karakterlerini kazanmalarında önemli rol oynayan tarihi-geleneksel çevreleri doğrudan etkilemektedir. Kuban'ın, toplum sadece bugünü ve yarını ile değil, bütün geçmişi ile tanınıyorsa, geçmişin en görkemli ve kesin görüntüsü bütün bir kent dokusunda yaşar, ve Özer'in, değişme, gelişme, yeni aşamalar, bir toplumun, sağlıklı bir toplumun kaçınılmaz yoludur. Ancak, bu yol geçmişimizin değerlerine eğilmeyi, onların yaratılmalarındaki bileşenleri gözden geçirmemeyi gerektirmez. Geçmişimizin ürünlerini, onların yaratılma ortamlarını açıklıkla ortaya koymak, üstelik gelecek için aydınlık ...

Bu temel prensip sadece kentsel alanları değil, aynı zamanda yerel mimari mirası barındıran kırsal yerleşimlerde yürütülen koruma çalışmalarını da kapsamaktadır. Tarihi çevrelerin korunması için zorunlu olan bütüncül koruma ilkeleri, kırsal yerleşimlerde özellikle kültürel peyzaj değerlerinin sürdürülebilmesi açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında, Antalya Akseki havzasında yer alan Belenalan ve Güzelsu kırsal yerleşimlerindeki evlerin özgün mimari değerlerinin tespiti ve kültürel peyzaj değerleriyle birlikte korunması sorunu üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Bu yerleşimler Antalya Bilim Üniversitesi, Güzel Sanatlar ve Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü’nde yürütülmekte olan “Tarihi Yapıların Belgelenmesi ve Analizi” ve devamında verilen “Koruma ve Restorasyon Projesi” derslerinde de çalışma alanı olarak seçilmiştir. Aynı bölgede yer alan bu iki yerleşimin özellikleri incelendiğinde, gerek coğrafi konumları ve çevre bağlantıları, gerekse geçmişleri boyunca yerleşimleri şekillendiren sosyal, ekonomik ve fiziksel etkenler nedeniyle birbirlerinden farklı ve ünik özellikler taşıdıkları görülmektedir. Söz konusu iki yerleşimde plan tipolojilerinden kullanılan yapım sistemine, malzemeden süsleme elemanlarına kadar görülen farklılıklar, aynı havzada yer alan ve “düğmeli evler” tanımıyla benzer oldukları varsayılan bu iki yerleşim için ortak bir kırsal kimlik değeri belirlenmesinin ve bu doğrultuda koruma önerilerinin geliştirilmesinin doğru olmadığını, yerleşimlerin kendine özgü karakteristiklerini göz önüne alan bir yaklaşımın uygulanması gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Her iki yerleşimdeki mevcut yapıların onarımı esnasında ve/veya yeni yapılarda kimi zaman tarihselci bir yaklaşım ile “taklit” olarak değerlendirilebilecek uygulamaların gerçekleştirildiği, kimi zaman da çevreden ve bağlamdan tamamıyla kopuk olan, kentlerdeki imar koşullarına uygun olarak geliştirilen ve ağırlıklı olarak betonarme niteliğinde yapıların inşa edildiği görülmektedir. Bu durum yerleşimin özgün karakterini olumsuz etkileyen bu tür uygulamaların “yer”e ait nitelik taşımadığını net bir biçimde ortaya koymaktadır. Sorunun nedenlerinden biri kırsal yerleşimlerin birbirine benzer olduğu yanılgısı olduğu kadar, kentlerde “çağdaş” olarak tanımlanan uygulamaların yere ve bağlama göre yorumlanmadan kırsal yerleşimlerde de uygulanması olduğu sonucunu ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Çalışmada incelenen Belenalan ve Güzelsu yerleşimlerinin coğrafi olarak birbirine yakın olsa da, kendilerine ait karakteristik özellikler taşıdıkları, benzerliklerinin yanı sıra farklılıklarıyla da tanımlanmalarının gerektiği ve bu bağlamda yere özel koruma önerilerinin geliştirilmesinin kırsal yerleşimlerin sürekliliği açısından kaçınılmaz olduğu görüşünü desteklemektedir. Koruma ve yeni yapı uygulamalarında genellemelerden uzak, yerleşimin kendi dinamiklerini esas alan çağdaş yaklaşımların benimsenmesi tavrının, kırsal ve kentsel tarihi çevrelerin korunması ve yaşatılması çalışmalarında büyük bir öneme sahip olduğu vurgulanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda yapılan araştırmada, Belenalan ve Güzelsu yerleşimlerinde gerçekleştirilen koruma ve çağdaş yapı uygulamalarında izlenen genel yaklaşım incelenmiştir. Uygulamaların bu alanlara olumlu/ olumsuz etkilerinin arazi çalışmalarından, arşiv ve literatür araştırmalarından gelen bilgilerden yararlanarak tespit edilmesi ve ulaşılan sonuçlar aracılığıyla koruma kararlarında bölgesel ölçekteki değerlendirmelerin yanı sıra yerleşim ölçeğindeki ‘yer’e özgü değerlendirmelerin yapılmasının öneminin karşılaştırmalı olarak ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır.
