architectural heritage, forming traditional identity of three villages, named
as Misi, Gölyazı, and Tirilye, in Bursa. Before making a detailed assessment, it is better to give
brief information about legalization concerning relation in between tourism and
rural architectural heritage. Afterwards, the common values of selected case
studies are given while also evaluating the problems and threats on their
sustainability. It concludes with recommendations defining what can be done to
conserve and reuse rural architectural heritage in villages of a historic city
while preventing and improving them against touristic demands. Hence, this
study is essential as investigating the challenges in conservation of rural
areas in City of Bursa, one of the
UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS) in Turkey, while revealing rise of touristic activities
together with increasing interest and public awareness in its architectural and
natural heritage.
