"Participation " through regeneration, revitalization and amelioration has the priority in Turkey among other problems in issues related with cultural and natural heritage. A workshop at the spring of 1998 and Summer Schools in 1998 and 1999 at Birgi are jointly organized by the Municipality of Birgi, the Mimar Sinan University and the ÇEKÜL Foundation, a non-governmental organization . The town of Birgi has largely conserved its identity as an outcome of cultural accumulation through centuries as well as due to lack of properly speculation. The local authority realized that the repopulation of the deserted town and regeneration of economic life can only be come true through a preservation plan realized by experts and asked the expertise of the university. Hereby, the town of Birgi is selected as a "model for participatory planning". Through an assessment of results of Summer School, this plan will broaden its scope as the "Preservation-Revitalization-Development Project of Küçükmenderes Basin " including neighbouring towns. Other universities, public administrative bodies and NGO 'in nationwide may also take part in this joint organization. Therefore, inheritence of local natural and cultural heritages through preservation, revitalization and enhancement (which are sources of inspiration for now and tomorrow) by next generation comes true.
