Throughout history, the different cycles of change that traditional commercial centres (bazaars) have undergone in different Islamic cities call attention to the hidden abilities insuring their resilience until today. To understand the way in which these bazaar areas absorb and adapt to change, this paper investigates the resilience awareness of a specific case study 'the bazaar of Bursa', by dealing with key morphological, behavioural and institutional aspects. Several resilience assessment frameworks have been developed, including cultural, economic, and spatial proxies. However, most of them have focused on physical structures while assessing resilience concretely. This study represents a first step towards a Framework Proposal for resilience assessment in traditional commercial centres (bazaars) combining together tangible and intangible features specific to the historical bazaar of Bursa as a case study using a quantitative approach in a form of a survey. The findings showed a clear overlap between the tradesmen's perception of factors affecting resilience in the bazaar of Bursa and those proposed by authors. This research may help decision-makers gain a better understanding of the key hidden factors promoting resilience in such historical urban fabrics and guide them in making adequate planning decisions in the future.

Chawkbazar in Dhaka and Covered Bazaar in Bursa are two unique examples showing the contradiction among the traditional and the contemporary life-styles and their reflections on space uses and architecture. The first example in Dhaka is one of the prime icons of Mughal architecture in Bangladesh, whereas the second one in Bursa is the first example of the typical nucleus of traditional Ottoman city. Based on these two case studies in Dhaka (Bangladesh) and Bursa (Turkey), this paper attempts to illustrate how the emerging cultures and spaces are continuously being either negotiated or contested with their adjacent historic sites (Shakur, 2005). This comparative research between two similar historical sites (Mughal and Ottoman) but miles apart geographically is intended to understand the commonalities in its economic, social, cultural aspects through its transformation from the historic to the contemporary period. It highlights the socio-economic and cultural transformation and its implications for future conservation and development.

(European Center Sustainable Development, 2016-01-01) Durak, Selen; DURAK, SELEN; Yeke, Saliha Tupal; Arslan, Tulin Vural; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi.; AAH-2914-2021; JMB-1340-2023; AAH-1934-2021
Cultural tourism has become one of the important sectors of tourism in recent years with the growing awareness on cultural heritage. As being aware of the tourism potential of cultural heritage sites, policy makers pay special attention to preservation of these sites. However, the increasing number of visitors depending on the promotion of culture and history began to endanger the sustainability of heritage sites. In order to ensure the balance between preservation and utilization, researchers investigated the ways for welcoming large number of visitors without risking the sustainability.Bursa, as one of the recent UNESCO World heritage sites in Turkey, has a growing potential in terms of cultural tourism with its peculiar Ottoman urban pattern including building complexes called kulliyes. This situation caused an increase in the number of visitors. Muradiye Kulliye is one of the attracting places in Bursa in terms of its symbolic and historic characteristics including a mosque, a madrasa, a bath and the tombs of earlier Ottoman Sultans. This paper aims to describe the practices in terms of preservation for ensuring the sustainability of the complex.

(European Center Sustainable Development, 2016-01-01) Şen, Seyhan; Arslan, Tulin Vural; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi.; AAH-2914-2021
The evolution of urban life, resulting from the developments in technology, economics and social life, along side with rapid urbanisation has shaped functions and structures of urban outdoor spaces. Together with this change, the expectation of quality has also changed which necessitates the new definitions and parametres about the concept of quality of life. Because the concept of quality consists of various components, the promotion of these definitions and parameters requires taking the specific qualifications of the particular space into consideration. In this study, quality of life and space in Bursa Historical Bazaar and Khans District is evaluated in regard to parameters which are identified in the content of study. These parametres are developed both by the examination of related literature about the space quality and also surveys about the users' expectations from the site. In in order to identify the users' expectations from the site, a survey was conducted of 400 people in 4 well-known Khans in the district. The questionnaire items were factor analyzed to explore the principal components of outdoor space quality from the viewpoint of users.

Kentsel Dayanıklılık kavramı literatürde genellikle bir sistemin iç ve dış değişim karşısında işlevlerini ve yapısını sürdürme yeteneği ve mevcut kaynakları ve becerileri yeni durumlara ve çalışma koşullarına uyarlama yeteneği olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Kentlerin tarihleri boyunca karşılaştıkları tüm yıkıcı de değiştirici etkilere karşı nasıl direnç gösterdikleri birçok araştırmanın konusu olmuştur. Tunis kentinin tarihi kent merkezinde (medina) yer alan tarihi çarşı bölgesi tarihi boyunca karşılaştığı sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel değişim süreçlerine karşın günümüzde halen varlığını ve işlevini devam ettirmektedir. Tarihi kent merkezinin (medina) karşılaştığı savaşlar, krizler, pandemiler ve diğer tüm felaketler tarihi çarşı bölgesinin gelişiminde ve dönüşümünde belirleyici olmuştur. Ancak, bütün bu süreçlere ragmen, Çarşı bölgesi kurulduğu 7. Yüzyıldan bugüne kadar çağlar boyunca mekansal bütünlüğü ve morfolojik yapısını korumaya devam etmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Tunis tarihi kent merkezinde (medina) yer alan çarşı bölgesinin dayanımının ardındaki nedenleri tartışmaktır. Bu tartışmanın yapılabilmesi için çalışma kapsamında kentsel dayanım kavramı araştırılmıştır. Bu kavrama ilişkin literatürde kabul gören temel göstergeler ortaya konmuştur. Bu göstergelerden çeşitlilik, bağlantı, modülerlik, fazlalık ve uyarlanabilirlik Tunis kentindeki çarşı bölgesinin dayanımını araştırmak için seçilmiştir.
