Görsel Kirliliğin Turistik ve Tarihi Şehirlerin Bozulmasına Etkisi; Eski Sana'a/Yemen Örneği

Öz

Görsel kirlilik birçok toplumun karşılaştığı büyük sorunlardan birtanesidir ve diğer kirliliklerden (gürültü kirliliği, hava kirliliği vb.) daha az tehlikeli olmayan bir türdür. Birçok Yemen şehri medeni, kültürel ve turistik bir karaktere sahiptir, ancak yine de simge yapılarını ve kültürel bağlamını bozan bir görsel kirlilikten muzdariptirler. Bu çalışma da, bu kirliliğin tezahürlerinin, halkın bilinç düzeyinin düşük olması ve kişi başına düşen gelirin sınırlı olması nedeniyle arttığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca bu çalışma, diğer çalışmalara göre eski San'a şehrinin (OCS) görsel kirliliğinin tezahürlerini tartışmış ve binaların yeniden kullanımı ve restorasyonu yoluyla tarihi ve turistik kimliğini doğru bilimsel standartlara ve uygun bir şekilde restore etmeye çalışmaktadır. Alanda görsel kirlilik nedeniyle büyük bir estetik kaybı yaşanmakta ve bölge halkı ortak değerlerin kaybolmasını ve tek topluluk dokusunun korunmasını istemektedir. Sonuç olarak çalışma, önerilen stratejiler ve tavsiyeler, görsel çarpıklıkların yayılmasını sınırlamaya ve görsel çarpıklıkların bir sonucu olarak eski Sana'a şehrinin mevcut dengesizliklerini ele almaya odaklanmıştır.

Visual Pollution’s Effect on Distorting the Touristic and Historical Cities: Old Sana'a /Yemen Case

Öz

Visual pollution is a big problem faced by many societies, and it is a type of pollution that is no less dangerous than other pollution (such as noise pollution, air pollution, etc.). Many Yemeni cities have a civilized, cultural, and touristic character, but they still suffer from a serious problem, which is visual pollution that distorts their landmarks and cultural context. The study found that the manifestations of this pollution increased as a result of the low level of public awareness and the limited income per capita. This study discussed the manifestations of visual pollution of the old city of Sana'a (OCS), according to other studies, and work to restore its historical and tourist identity through the reuse and restoration of buildings, according to accurate scientific standards and in a civilized manner. There is a great loss of aesthetics in the study area due to visual pollution, and the people of the area feel the loss of common values and the preservation of the single community fabric. The proposed strategies and recommendations focused on limiting the spread of visual distortions and working to address the current imbalances of the old city of Sana'a as a result of visual distortions.
