PRESERVING THE SPATIAL MEMORY IN HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND SPACES AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THE URBAN IDENTITY: A CASE STUDY OF ÇANAKKALE URBAN SITE
Abstract
In the present study, it is aimed to preserve the place of historic buildings and spaces in the spatial memory together with their images and to investigate its contributions to the urban identity. In this context, an examination was made on eight historic buildings and spaces selected from Çanakkale Urban Site (an avenue, a street, a square, a garden, a courtyard, a religious building, an education building, and a registered old building). Within the scope of this study, a specialist group of 70 people was determined in the survey technique. The aim of the survey technique was to question the spatial memory, urban image, and urban identity cases and their relations with each other through the examples selected from Çanakkale Urban Site.
In this context, when the buildings and spaces which have acquired a place in the urban memory are defined in terms of spatial memory parameters and urban images, this also strengthens their contributions to the urban identity. The buildings and spaces selected as the material in the study are still being used, which strengthens the spatial memory parameters. The spatial memory parameters which affect the places of the buildings and spaces concerned in the urban identity the most are the parameters of “historical and cultural value”, “memory value and continuity of use”, “originality and rarity value”, and “aesthetic and artistic value”, respectively. The historic buildings and spaces identified with all these parameters contribute to the city’s states as a city of “history”, “culture-art”, and “tourism” the most. When the buildings and spaces concerned are evaluated in terms of the urban images, they are mostly identified as “districts”, “nodes”, “paths”, and “landmarks”, which strengthens their places in the urban identity.
As a result of the study, proposals were made for the preservation of the spatial memory parameters in historic buildings and spaces and for the continuity of the historic buildings and spaces by emphasizing the contribution to the formation of the urban image and the urban identity.
