Abstract

It is important for preserving our cultural heritage to ensure the social and cultural sustainability of historical buildings and hand down them to the next generations. Functioning historical buildings by protecting them also increases circulation to those structures and ensures that they are handed down to the future. In this study, the social sustainability of the Seljuk Bath and Ali Aydın House, located in the ancient city of Stratonikeia, were examined. The tracing method, which is a qualitative research method, was used in the study. While ensuring the sustainability of the buildings, the issue was also considered together with the historical environment they are in and a performance evaluation was conducted within the context of the historical environment. Since the bath and residential structures are both in the ancient city and both have become original structures, this study contributes to the literature on holistic conservation and sustainability of historical buildings.

Kültürel Mirasın Sosyal Sürdürülebilirliği ve Yeniden İşlevlendirilmesi: Selçuk Hamamı ve Ali Aydın Evi

Abstract

Tarihi yapıların sosyal ve kültürel sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması ve gelecek nesillere aktarılması kültürel mirasımızı korumada önem taşımaktadır. Tarihi yapıların korunarak işlev kazandırılması o yapılara olan sirkülasyonu arttırarak geleceğe aktarımını da sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada Stratonikeia antik kenti içerisinde bulunan Selçuk Hamamı ve Ali Aydın Evinin yeniden işlevlendirilerek sosyal sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması incelenmiştir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma metodu olan iz sürme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Yapıların sürdürülebilirliği sağlanırken içerisinde bulunduğu tarihi çevre ile birlikte de ele alınmış ve tarihi çevre bağlamında performans değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır. Hamam ve konut yapısı hem antik kent içerisinde bulunması hem de özgün yapı haline gelmesi nedeni ile literatüre bütüncül koruma ve tarihi yapıların sürdürülebilirliği hakkında katkı sağlamaktadır.
