OTTOMAN PERIOD ISLAMIC WORSHIP STRUCTURES IN IZMIR / FOCA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF CONSERVATION AND TOURISM
Öz
Architectural conservation and tourism are two concepts that affect each other in many ways. The relationship between conservation and tourism, which has developed rapidly in the historical process, has been strengthened with the change and diversification of expectations from tourism. There are many examples of associating architectural heritage with touristic functions in Anatolian settlements where the relationship between conservation and tourism can be seen intensely. One of these examples is the settlement of Foca, which draws attention with its coastal tourism, natural qualities and cultural features. The architectural heritage that strengthens the relationship between conservation and tourism in Foca consists mostly of civil architectural works. In addition, the Ottoman period worship structures in the settlement also have qualities worth examining. While adding value to Foca's tourism potential; at the same time, bringing these structures to the forefront, which should be conserved and delivered to the future, is important in the context of the development of the relationship between conservation and tourism in the region. From this point of view, the study aims to draw attention to the importance of conserving the original elements of settlements with cultural heritage value, as well as keeping them alive through tourism. Scope of work; Fatih Mosque, Kayalar Mosque and Hafız Suleyman Masjid, which have survived to the present day with their spatial qualities and traditional architectural features, will be discussed in the context of the relationship between conservation and tourism. The method of the study, besides the literature and field research related to the structures examined; the study on the qualities that the conservation and tourism relationship brings to the settlements includes the evaluation of the data together. As a result of the study, especially Foca and other historical settlements in Anatolia; it is thought that it will contribute to the conservation of similar heritage and to the development of its relationship with tourism.
