Utilization Of Social Networking Services In Conservation. Case Study Eskihisar, Rural Settlement Including Archeological Assets

Traditional built-up environment, traditional life and ecological tissue that have been
created in time by human beings are ignored on behalf of archeological assets in
archeological areas on the rural settlements. However, the coexistence of
archeological, architectural, ecological and traditional invariants must be preserved / this coexistence is a product of life style coming from early periods onwards.
A unique scientific conservation approach should be developed for this kind of
settlements in order to sustain this rich &ldquo / wholeness&rdquo / . The requirement of preparing
management plan for conservation area is an indisputable reality today. Participated
management planning approach is embraced for the rural archeological sites on
which assets produced by human being in time. Case study chosen for the
dissertation is Eskihisar (Stratoniceia) which is settled since early times but
abandoned today because of the various reasons.

phase in this study / new methods were introduced like web-based participation. As a
tool a social networking website (Facebook) used by ordinary people extensively
was employed in the web based participation model introduced as a new technique.
Gathered qualitative data in this way was analyzed together with quantitative data
collected from site survey, historic and contemporary sources. Thus, it was
examined whether there is usage of a simple communication tool in participatory
planning studies or not, and what is pros and cons.
