Abstract

In historical cities, urban public open space’s identity is a fundamental aspect that contributes to shaping the identity of communities. The architectural elements succeeded in expressing the identity of the community and maintaining the continuity of identity. The city's identity is determined by the city's geographical context, cultural level, architectural elements, local traditions, and quality of public open spaces.
In recent years the multi dimensional place-making concept become an interesting study area in increasing urban identity. The concept of place-making coines to describe a multi-disciplinary approach in planning, designing, and urban public open spaces management to improve the urban environment and the quality of life. In this study, the conceptual framework of the topic was drawn by putting forth the concept of place and place-making to improve the quality of places in historical public open spaces.
The studying area is Cumhuriyet Street in the historical center of Bursa City, which is located in the traditional trade center as a pedestrian road. The historical background is examined to demonstrate its potential in creating a place-making concept in the city's historic core.

Mekan Oluşturma Kavramının İncelenmesi Bursa'nin Tarihi Cumhuriyet Caddesinde

Abstract

Tarihi kentlerde kentsel kamusal açık alan kimliği, toplulukların kimliğinin şekillenmesine katkıda bulunan temel bir unsurdur. Mimari unsurlar toplumun kimliğini ifade etmeyi ve kimliğin sürekliliğini sağlamayı başarmaktadır. Kentin kimliği; kentin coğrafi bağlamı, kültürel düzeyi, mimari unsurları, yerel gelenekleri ve kamusal açık alanlarının kalitesiyle belirlenmektedir.
Son yıllarda çok boyutlu mekân oluşturma kavramı, kentsel kimliğin arttırılmasında ilgi çekici bir çalışma alanı haline gelmiştir. Mekân oluşturma kavramı, kentsel çevreyi ve yaşam kalitesini iyileştirmek amacıyla planlama, tasarım ve kentsel kamusal açık alan yönetiminde çok disiplinli bir yaklaşımı tanımlamak için ortaya atılmıştır. Bu çalışmada; tarihi kamusal açık alanlardaki mekânların kalitesinin artırılmasına yönelik mekân ve mekân oluşturma kavramları ortaya konularak, konunun kavramsal çerçevesi çizilmiştir. Çalışma alanı, yaya yolu olarak geleneksel ticaret merkezi içerisinde yer alan Bursa kentinin tarihi merkezindeki Cumhuriyet Caddesi'dir. Tarihi arka plan, kentin tarihi merkezinde mekân oluşturma konsepti yaratma potansiyelini ortaya koymak için incelenmektedir.
