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.
