Urban archaeological sites are important traces of history in the cities and should
be conserved for the next generations with their values. For their survival in the
urban context it is essential to integrate them to the current urban context they
exist in. In this study, four urban archaeological sites in Ulus, Ankara are analyzed
for understanding their states of integration by constructing an analysis method.
In this process the conceptual frame and methodology offered by the APPEAR
Project were regarded as basic tools.
Within this scope, firstly a general overview is put forward about the APPEAR
Method, Ankara and Roman Remains in Ulus with also discussing the current
legal framework in Turkey. Afterwards the analysis is done on the archaeological
sites / Roman Baths Open Air Museum, Cardo Maximus, Augustus and Roma
Temple and Roman Theatre. Finally the fundamental principles and options are
put forward for these Roman remains&rsquo / integration in the current urban context.
The analysis conducted on the four urban archaeological sites reveal that the
Roman remains in Ulus are not integrated with their current urban context This
situation is threatening their survival while causing problems both for the
v
remains themselves and the city. The study while defining basic principles for the
sites&rsquo / integration it also puts forward three fundamental concepts that should
guide the enhancement projects. These are: Accessibility, Visibility and
Intelligibility which are regarded as the tools for strengthening the contextual
unity of the sites and their integration in the urban context.
