Social Networking Sites As a Tool for Conservation of Cultural Heritage: The Case of Eskihisar (Stratoniceia), Turkey

Abstract

The traditional life, built environment and ecological fabric are ignored in favor of archeological assets in some of the rural settlements. However, the aim should be to ensure the coexistence of archeological, architectural, ecological and intangible components as indispensable constituents of a life-style inherited from the past.In order to sustain the coexistence and coherence of these single components, a unique conservation approach should be developed for this kind of settlements. For this aim, a participated management planning approach is suggested for the archeological sites merged with inhabited traditional rural settlements. Eskihisar (Stratoniceia), which has been an important settlement from ancient periods onwards, is the focus of this paper. The area was abandoned in 1980s due to a number of problematic conservation decisions.Definition of a proper tool for the conservation is necessary while it is important to construct a conservation and management method for cultural heritage. This paper introduces a social networking website (Facebook), which is widely used by people from different age, gender, socio-cultural groups, as a tool to collect data, to create a platform for evaluation and discussion of the site and to produce a relevant solution for the sustainability of this “continuity” on timeless space. This study examines the pros and cons of the use of social networking site as a tool for a scientific research and evaluation in conservation planning process.
