Abstract

This is written text as a gift to Mustafa Akpolat; our teacher and friend from METU Faculty of\rArchitecture, Restoration Dep., whom I have known since the 1980s, worked with from time to time, worked\rtogether at conferences and scientific events, and always guided us in conservation. We worked with him\rfrom time to time and gave joint products. In paper; \"Eskisaray and Kale Neighborhood Conservation Plan\rDecisions\" in force in the First Degree Archaeological, Urban - Archaeological and Urban Sites, where\rMustafa Akpolat did his \"Art History\" research, and in this context, \"Niğde Castle and Its Surroundings\rHistoric Environment Protection Decisions and Special Project Areas” will be discussed briefly. In order to\rcarry out on-site investigations for field research during the planning process, field studies were carried out in\rNiğde with the participation of architects, city planners specialized in conservation, art historian and\rrestoration experts. Maps, plans, conservation board decisions, correspondence and other relevant\rinformation and documents regarding the Niğde Castle protected areas were collected from the Municipality,\rthe Governor's Office and the Nevşehir Conservation Board. In this article, the Conservation Plan Decisions\rand Special Project Area Decisions developed for the \"Revision of the Niğde Castle, Archaeological, Urban-\rArchaeological and Urban Sites Conservation Development Plan\" are summarized. Niğde Castle and its\rimmediate surroundings should be preserved and transferred to future generations with the cultural heritage\rand archeology values that have thousands of years of history and historical housing texture. In this regard,\rNiğde Municipality and Conservation Boards, the implementers of the Conservation Plan, have a great\rresponsibility. Niğde Municipality is the most important local unit responsible for the protection, restoration\rand environmental arrangements of cultural assets through receiving the necessary technical and financial\rsupport from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Nigde Governorate. Collaboration with nongovernmental\rorganizations should be undertaken to inform, raise awareness and financial support of the\rpublic
