Publication A quest for sustainability of cultural heritage sites: The hanlar district of Bursa, Turkey(Konya Teknik Üniversitesi, 2019-04-08) Polat, Sibel; Çahantimur, Arzu; Atanur, Gül; Yıldız, H. Özge Tümer; POLAT, SİBEL; ÇAHANTİMUR, ARZU; TÜMER YILDIZ, HİKMET ÖZGE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi/Mimarlık Bölümü.; 0000-0003-4380-0457; 0000-0002-5907-1773; 0000-0002-7755-9238; AAH-2742-2021; KJK-5232-2024 ; H-4326-2013Today, many studies have been carried out to support community engagement in planning and urban design processes in Turkey. This study which tries to bring together community engagement and urban design within the framework of sustainability of cultural heritage sites is a part of a scientific research project which aims to create a participative model to develop an urban design guideline for the Hanlar District, a historical commercial district including many inns in the city centre of Bursa, in Turkey. While a series of community engagement techniques were experimented during the project process, the aim of this article is to examine the potential benefits of using educational charrettes as a kind of design charrette to establish a participatory and competitive platform including public, private, voluntary actors and local people in urban design process of heritage sites. It overviews the charrette use in developing adaptive re-use and urban design schemes for the inns and their surrounding public spaces which are not actively used in the Hanlar District which has been a UNESCO world heritage site since 2014, and then highlights the proposals that were developed in terms of the objectives of the Bursa and Cumalikizik Management Plan. Finally, this study presents the usability, suitability and practicability of educational charrettes as a community engagement way in the urban design process of the heritage sites while enabling different actors to create new visions to sustain heritage sites. However, it also emphasizes the need for a participatory and holistic urban design process for the Hanlar District of Bursa including the adaptive re-use strategies for the inns to sustain the district.Publication Challenges and recommendations in addressing community engagement in public space design in Turkiye(Univ Valladolid, Secretariado Publicaciones, 2023-01-01) Polat, Sibel; Polat, Sibel; POLAT, SİBEL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi.; H-4326-2013The aim of this article is to discuss challenges and to develop recommendations in addressing community engagement in public space design. In this respect, the article examines Turkish planning legislation and analyse three projects from Istanbul, Bursa and Eskisehir from Turkiye. The research methodology is based on literature review and online interviews with the officials and professionals who worked in these projects. As a result, the recommendations related to legal-institutional context, engagement mechanisms, participation and coordination of actors, design and implementation process of community engagement in public space design are presented to create more quality and inclusive public spaces in Turkiye.Publication A user oriented urban design guide model for cultural heritage sites: The case of Bursa khans area(Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2018-01-01) Dostoğlu, Neslihan; Polat, Sibel; POLAT, SİBEL; Tümer Yıldız, Hikmet Özge; TÜMER YILDIZ, HİKMET ÖZGE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi.; AAH-2233-2021; H-4326-2013; KBB-5176-2024The Khans Area, located in Bursa - the first capital of the Ottoman Empire - has reached today, preserving its historical urban character with its changing and developing trade life, and was inscribed as a cultural heritage site by UNESCO in 2014. Bursa and Cumalikizik Management Plan, which was prepared with a participatory method, presented many problems and expectations about cultural heritage sites, and suggested action plans for their solutions. One of the most important problems emphasized in the Management Plan was the weakening of the original identity of heritage sites due to the lack of urban design principles and standarts in heritage sites, and the development of urban design guides for the management sites was proposed as a solution. The scientific research project entitled An Urban Design Guide Model for Bursa City Center" in Bursa Uludag University took this aim into consideration; however, it became clear that describing the process of preparing an urban design guide for cultural heritage sites should precede the process of producing an urban design guide peculiar to the area. In this article, a user-oriented urban design guide model for cultural heritage sites as a planning/design tool in the conservation and development of cultural heritage sites is discussed. The model is developed with the help of systematic approaches of urban design process and community engagement methods in academic literature in terms of a case study including analyses, user surveys, tradesmen interviews and an urban design workshop conducted in the Bursa Khans Area. This model, which considers interdisciplinary and inter-institutional perspectives and local participation, is expected to assist relevant institutions and professionals in the development of urban design guidelines for cultural heritage sites.Publication Measuring place identity in public open spaces(Ice Publishing, 2017-10-01) Polat, Sibel; Dostoğlu, Neslihan; POLAT, SİBEL; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi; H-4326-2013; 0000-0003-4380-0457There is a growing body of evidence that indicates that for creating civic consciousness and sustaining urban identity and memory people need civic interaction and social reconciliation, which are promoted by public open spaces. However, in an era of globalisation, public open spaces are mostly discussed in relation to privatisation, disappearance, obsolescence and loss of place identity, leading to urban decay problems in many city centres. The aim of this study is to propose a research method for monitoring changes in place identity in public open spaces to set the right objectives and policies in the design process of these spaces for keeping them alive and for sustaining public life. In this context, a case study was conducted in Bursa's Republic Square in Turkey, using different interpretive historical, quantitative and qualitative strategies. The main findings of the case study are that there has been a gradual decline in sense of place in recent years, although the architectural and artistic elements of the area and the name of the place are still effective in defining the identity of the area.Publication Community engagement in developing urban design guidance for heritage sites: The case of Bursa, Turkey(Urban Planning Inst Republic Slovenia, 2019-12-01) Polat, Sibel; Tümer Yıldız, Hikmet Özge; POLAT, SİBEL; TÜMER YILDIZ, HİKMET ÖZGE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi/Mimarlık Bölümü; 0000-0003-4380-0457; AAH-2233-2021; H-4326-2013In recent years, central and local governments have carried out studies to establish a legal administrative infrastructure for urban design and to develop urban design guidance to preserve the identity of historic cities under the pressure of rapid urbanization in Turkey. The main aim of this article is to explain how we implemented a participatory urban design guidance (PUrDeG) model for cultural heritage sites, which was developed as part of a research project. We explain how we used various techniques to engage various actors in preparing urban design guidelines for a cultural heritage site. In addition, the article discusses the importance of community engagement techniques and processes in developing urban design guidance, and the context of guidelines for sustainable conservation of cultural heritage sites with examples from the United Kingdom and Turkey. It then presents a case study conducted in the Hanlar District, a Unesco world heritage site in Bursa, Turkey. The case study includes research on planning decisions, site analysis, a survey of urban residents, in-depth interviews with local artisans, and an urban design workshop with various actors. The main outcomes of this study include a presentation of how to use various community engagement techniques to prepare urban design guidelines for cultural heritage sites in Turkey, an urban design guidance system for Bursa, and a list of recommendations related to urban design guidelines for the Hanlar District and Bursa in the light of UK experience.
