Urban Conservation As An Ownership Problematic: Zeyrek - IstanbulZengin, Utku Serkan 01 May 2010 (has links) (PDF)
The aim of this study is to investigate the relation between the ownership issues and the conservation of historical housing areas, which is still an ongoing problem in Turkey. The study was carried out with respect to the local and international conservation approaches, as well as three urban conservation experiments from Turkey and Italy. Istanbul - Zeyrek World Heritage Area was taken as a case study to understand further on the issue.
Approaches of international authorities on urban conservation such as UNESCO and European Council, and existing conservation legislation in Turkey were studied in relation with the concept of ownership and integration of property owners into the conservation process. Besides, recent changes in Turkish conservation legislation were studied and criticized from the same perspective.
Three urban conservation experiences, &ldquo / Renovation of the Historic Center of the City of Bologna&rdquo / from Italy, &ldquo / Rehabilitation of Fener and Balat Districts Programme&rdquo / and &ldquo / TarlabaSi Urban Renewal Project&rdquo / from Istanbul Turkey were also studied within the frame of this study. These practices supplied information about how property owners&rsquo / integration into the process effects conservation of urban environments, from three different perspectives.
Zeyrek World Heritage Area is a conservation area with monumental buildings from Byzantine Period and timber houses from Ottoman Period. Although many conservation plans concerning the area has been prepared, historical building stock of the area is in danger. Conservation problems and opportunities of the area were investigated by analysis and social and economic research in the area.
At the end of the study, with reference to the experiences discussed, it was emphasized that Zeyrek World Heritage Area could be conserved, with an approach considering property owners within existing social and economic conditions of Zeyrek and current conservation legislation.

Religious Diversity at the Crossroads of Istanbul : Cases of Religious Tolerance and Ethnic CleansingNtountoumis, Ioannis January 2013 (has links)
What makes Istanbul special and unique, is not its beauty, but the memories, the good and the bad of people who once lived there and were forced to leave for different reasons. This is something that people could realize as soon as they visit Istanbul and talk to the remaining minority populations who have faced bigotry, prejudice and persecution. Those have kept alive the real meaning of this metropolis. It is the multicultural and cosmopolitan character and especially the religious pluralism and diversity which still manages somehow to survive and characterizes the city and life in it, making it unique and offering a perfect symbolism since Turkey and especially Istanbul has become a significant mediator between the West and the East. Even though the figures have been dramatically changed and decreased, the city has retained some of its multicultural character, and still hosts some of the most important religious institutions. This is the main theme of this thesis, the history, the problems and the panorama of the life in the multicultural Istanbul. It is an overall view on different areas where population from different religious and cultural backgrounds co-existed for years and have a great historic meaning. The mahalles that will be examined in this study are those of Fener, Balat, and Ortakoy from the European side and Kuzguncuk from the Asian one. This thesis will try to highlight the main events which led to the alienation and the shrinkage of the religious populations in Istanbul, and will present a report on the current situation and projects which promote the religious diversity and aim to restore, partly, the glory of the multicultural past. Why nationalism prevailed and how did its predominance affect the multicultural Istanbul? What is the current situation in the neighborhoods which used to or still host populations from different religious backgrounds, and how do the recent cultural initiatives aim to bridge the gap that hatred and policies created?

Preservation under the crescent and star : using new sources for examining the historic development of the Balat District in Istanbul and its meanings for historic preservation / Using new sources for examining the historic development of the Balat District in Istanbul and its meanings for historic preservationUluengin, Mehmet Bengü, 1974- 16 December 2011 (has links)
The purpose of this dissertation is to identify various sources hitherto neglected by the field of historic preservation in Turkey, and to seek possible ways in which they can be incorporation into this field. As demonstrated by the case study chosen for this dissertation--the Balat District in Istanbul--the use of these sources fosters a richness of perception which today is lacking in historic preservation in Turkey. The dissertation begins with the hypothesis that historic preservation in Turkey was used to legitimize the constructed reality of the new Turkish Republic. Since the Republic represented everything the Ottoman Empire was not, it had to be purged of its Ottoman inheritance, including the Empire's institutions and its diverse, non-Muslim population. Istanbul's urban fabric, however, bore unmistakable marks of both. While the eradication of these marks was never a declared policy, the net effect of the Republic's actions was essentially to have that result. A heightened awareness of the neglected sources mentioned above may help obviate the ways in which history has been rewritten, and may also help us develop preservation policies which provide a richer, more complex and multi-ethnic reading of Balat's--and ultimately Istanbul's--past. In the case of Balat, in contrast to the relatively few sources used by preservation authorities (mainly old photographs and historic maps) stand a vast array of sources that typically go unnoticed. Among these are Byzantine records, Ottoman governmental records, Islamic court records, rabbinical records, church records, etc. In practice, a neighborhood preservation project would ideally use most of these sources. To make the current study manageable, however, I will focus specifically on Islamic court records. During my fieldwork in Istanbul, I scanned roughly 4,300 court records (covering the period from 1800 to 1839) to identify cases pertinent to the built environment. The 1198 cases that I identified provide a wealth of information related to building types, ownership patterns, commercial activity, demographics, mobility, etc.--information which helps us reconstruct the lifestyle of Balat's residents, and ultimately aids in the rendering of a multi-faceted narrative of the District's urban history. / text

Gentrification In Fener Balat Neighborhoods: The Role Of Involved ActorsEken, Tugce 01 December 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Gentrification emerged as a middle-class interest in renovating houses in old city cores. The
process changed in parallel with the economic and political restructuring during the last
decade. In this period, urban regeneration became an urban strategy used by the local
governments as well as a mask for gentrification. It aimed at restructuring the urban land in
line with the preferences of wealthier groups rather than the social needs of existing
residents. The governments intend to remove poor images of cities through the displacement
of poor inhabitants. This, in turn, increases the risk of dilapidating the authenticity of the
existing social, cultural, and historic fabric of the regeneration areas.
Against this trend, international conservation agencies promote rehabilitation projects to
benefit existing communities of historic neighborhoods. In line with the international
declarations, they intend to rehabilitate socio-economic conditions of long term inhabitants
along with the conservation of historic heritage.
Accordingly, the unique architecture of Fener and Balat neighborhoods has been the focus
of international efforts during the last decade. Besides, the neighborhoods attracted the local
governments&rsquo / interest and were declared as urban regeneration area in 2006. In this regard,
thesis intends to compare Rehabilitation of Fener Balat Districts Program (RFBDP) based
on the partnership of Fatih Municipality and EU and Fener Balat Neighborhoods
Regeneration Project (FBNRP) based on a model of Fatih Municipality and private sector
partnership, with a focus on conserving existing communities and preventing displacement.

Revitalization of Fener and Balat, Istanbul, TurkeyYilmaz, Asli January 2000 (has links)
This project aims to analyze the existing context and propose a strategy to revitalize Fener and Balat, which are two historic districts in Istanbul. During the past two centuries, economic changes, modernization movements and new planning strategies throughout the country have given the city a new shape. Individual buildings, streets, and entire sub-districts exist in various stages of disrepair. But today, Fener and Balat still preserve their distinctive character in their historic major structures, as well as historic commercial and residential districts. This unique character can be seen the districts' assets which are documented in this project along with the many liabilities. This revitalization project focuses on restoring and preserving the human-scaled buildings and pedestrian oriented streets, while creating cultural and tourist-oriented facilities to help economically revitalize the neighborhood. This project serves as a prototype for the revitalization of other historic neighborhoods in Istanbul and other historic Turkish cities. / Department of Architecture

Le jardin botanique de Bruxelles (1826-1912) Miroir d'une jeune nation.Diagre, Denis 20 April 2006 (has links)
L’histoire du Jardin botanique de Bruxelles offre l’opportunité de prendre le pouls de la capitale et de ses développements successifs ; de la bourgeoisie du XIXème siècle, de ses passions et de ses fantasmes ; de la science nationale et internationale ; des rêves coloniaux qui habitèrent les souverains belges ; bref de la société belge dans ses multiples composants… quand elle n’entrouvrait pas la porte de l’intimité psychologique de certains intervenants majeurs du passé scientifique national.
En effet, le Jardin botanique fut d’abord l’expression d’une société anonyme créée sous le régime hollandais (1826) : la Société Royale d’Horticulture des Pays-Bas. Cette dernière devait enfin doter la capitale méridionale du pays d’un indispensable marqueur de sa modernité, à moindres frais pour la couronne. Dans ce modus operandi se lisaient la passion bourgeoise pour la nature (surtout exotique), certes, mais aussi son utopie, laquelle faisait dépendre le bien être de la société de l’esprit d’entrepreprise d’une classe. Il s’agissait d’une des premières sociétés anonymes belges, et l’immaturité de cet outil se paierait bien vite.
Alors qu’il avait été inspiré par le Jardin des Plantes du Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris – archétype de l’institution scientifique nationale totalement soutenue par l’état – le jardin de Bruxelles revêtit une forme commerciale qui devait bien le servir, lorsque la crise qui suivit la Révolution de 1830 frappa les finances publiques du nouvel état belge. Dès ce moment, le Jardin botanique se lança dans une recherche effrénée de revenus, laquelle ne cesserait qu’avec le rachat du site par l’état belge, en 1870. Unanimement considéré comme magnifique, il n’avait survécu jusque là que grâce à l’écrin qu’il offrait aux réjouissances bourgeoises de la capitale, grâce à la vente d’une partie de sa surface à la faveur de la construction de la Gare du Nord, et à des augmentations successives des subsides versés par le gouvernement et par la capitale. En réalité, la science n’avait alors jamais vraiment élu domicile à la Porte de Schaerbeek… tout au plus avait-on tenté de la singer pour feindre de mériter les subventions nationales que les Chambres devaient approuver. La beauté remarquable de la propriété, sa fonction sociale d’écrin pour la vie événementielle bruxelloise, et sa fonction symbolique de révélateur d’état de civilisation, avaient été les clefs de sa longévité.
Le site fut donc racheté en 1870, à la suite d’une entreprise de persuasion, tenant parfois du lobbying, menée par Barthélémy Dumortier (1797-1878), célèbre homme politique catholique, et botaniste de renom. Il avait pour objectif de monter un équivalent belge des Royal Botanic Gardens de Kew, sur les ruines de ce jardin que la bourgeoisie avait abandonné à l’Etat, contre une somme ridicule et en sacrifiant les bénéfices de ses actionnaires.
Dumortier voulait donc créer un grand centre voué à la taxonomie, et avait fait acheter le célèbre herbier brésilien de F. von Martius à cette fin.
Après des années d’incertitude, marquées par des querelles internes, parfois fort menaçantes, le Jardin botanique de l’Etat échut à François Crépin, l’auteur de la fameuse Flore de Belgique.
Le Rochefortois ne cesserait de tenter de déployer son institution, parfois avec succès, mais elle pâtissait d’un handicap de taille : des liens trop étroits avec la Ville de Bruxelles et son université, bastions libéraux et maçonniques. Il en découla, dans une série de ministères uniformément catholiques, une intrumentalisation du Jardin botanique, teintée de mépris, à des fins politiques, et un sous- financement chronique peu propice à la modernisation scientifique de l’institution.
Le secours vint du besoin d’expertise scientifique et agronomique dont le Congo léopoldien avait cruellement besoin. Sous le bouclier du souverain de cet état indépendant, une institution scientifique belge trouva protection contre la malveillance des ministres belges, des milliers de feuilles d’herbier qui lui permirent de pratiquer légitimement une discipline bien essoufflée (la taxonomie), de s’y faire une niche et de devenir un des plus grands centres mondiaux en matière de botanique africaine. Ainsi, la colonisation donna-t-elle une base de replis à de grands fonds scientifiques, alors que les universités s’étaient emparées de la physiologie, et des nouvelles disciplines prometteuses. Ces bases de données sont aujourd’hui impliquées, en première ligne, dans les recherches suscitées par la grande inquiétude écologique contemporaine.
Miroir de la Belgique, le Jardin botanique de Bruxelles refléta beaucoup de ses gloires et de ses tourments, de ses querelles politiques et philosophiques, et même de ceux qui eurent le Congo pour cadre. Son rayonnement, jadis comme aujourd’hui, doit beaucoup à ce continent. Ainsi peut-on légitimement affirmer que le Jardin botanique fut et reste un enfant de l’Afrique.
