Conference Object The challenge of preserving heritage: A Neighbourhood case in Ardabil, Iran(Cankaya University Press, 2018) Rouyandozagh, Yousef Daneshvar; Kumkale Açıkgöz, Ece; 291044; 05.02. Mimarlık; 05. Mimarlık Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe view that heritage is not merely a physical entity has raised the attention paid for its intangible part. The problem is the dilemma between the present priorities of a society and its contradictory preservation practices. The dilemma is felt stronger in societies with experienced radical transformations throughout their history. The historic residential neighborhoods of Ardabil City are examples of this dilemma with a unique social and cultural history and its intangible heritage shaped on that base, which is visible today in the dissolutions in their physical heritage. This study presents the outcomes of the in-situ research in the historic Uch Dukkan Neighborhood in Ardabil City with its spatial configurations, historic functions and current conditions. It is discussed that, due to the controversies between differing political and economic priorities of different eras, the intention to preserve the historicity of the neighborhood remains challenging in terms of adapting the intangible content of the heritage and the contradicting premises of the current local life to each other. This study intends to demonstrate how blurred the boundary between preservation and conservatism can be.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4Tourism-Led Adaptive Reuse of the Built Vernacular Heritage: a Critical Assessment of the Transformation of Historic Neighbourhoods in Cappadocia, Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Buke, Fatma Gul Ozturk; 05.02. Mimarlık; 05. Mimarlık Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiSince the last quarter of the twentieth century, increased tourism in traditional settlements have led to the adaptive reuse of built vernacular heritage to serve the tourism industry. The adaptive reuse of historic buildings is considered a conservation strategy and an alternative to new constructions in historic environments. Nevertheless, the adaptive reuse of built vernacular heritage and its socio-spatial impacts have not yet been sufficiently investigated. To fill the gap, this paper, focuses on Cappadocia, Turkey, where adaptive reuse of individual vernacular houses has recently paved the way for the transformation of an entire neighbourhood, the historic neighbourhood of Kayakapi, into a 'holiday village.' This study argues that traditional settlements and communities in Cappadocia have been subjected to 'gentrification' and so-called 'Disneyfication.' Such historic environments are facing controversial physical interventions, detached from local communities and devoted to a single function, namely tourism, becoming 'stereotypical and depersonalised.' The study further argues that the current situation is incompatible with international heritage and conservation policies. Correspondingly, to reveal the potential conflicts, the recent revitalisation project of the historic neighbourhood of Kayakapi in Cappadocia is examined as a case study.
