In our country, historical settlements, in which several civilizations lived in different historical periods, are spatial evidences transmitting from past social, economic and cultural characteristics to today. In the context of sustainability, in order to preserve and transmit of our own historical and cultural heritage to the future generations, it is essential that historical environments should be renovated in regard to the needs of today’s generation, should be re- functioned, and should be taken into account from protection-renovation-development principles point of view. In this paper, urban policy approaches, planning and urban design strategies on sustainability of historical, cultural and natural heritage in Amasra, and an urban design case study have been presented. A 3000 year old settlement, Amasra was added to the UNESCO list, as a candidate, due to the fortifications built in Genoese period. Therefore, sustainability strategies regarding to Amasra have gained more significance
