Publication A quest for sustainability of cultural heritage sites: The hanlar district of Bursa, Turkey(Konya Teknik Üniversitesi, 2019-04-08) Polat, Sibel; Çahantimur, Arzu; Atanur, Gül; Yıldız, H. Özge Tümer; POLAT, SİBEL; ÇAHANTİMUR, ARZU; TÜMER YILDIZ, HİKMET ÖZGE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi/Mimarlık Bölümü.; 0000-0003-4380-0457; 0000-0002-5907-1773; 0000-0002-7755-9238; AAH-2742-2021; KJK-5232-2024 ; H-4326-2013Today, many studies have been carried out to support community engagement in planning and urban design processes in Turkey. This study which tries to bring together community engagement and urban design within the framework of sustainability of cultural heritage sites is a part of a scientific research project which aims to create a participative model to develop an urban design guideline for the Hanlar District, a historical commercial district including many inns in the city centre of Bursa, in Turkey. While a series of community engagement techniques were experimented during the project process, the aim of this article is to examine the potential benefits of using educational charrettes as a kind of design charrette to establish a participatory and competitive platform including public, private, voluntary actors and local people in urban design process of heritage sites. It overviews the charrette use in developing adaptive re-use and urban design schemes for the inns and their surrounding public spaces which are not actively used in the Hanlar District which has been a UNESCO world heritage site since 2014, and then highlights the proposals that were developed in terms of the objectives of the Bursa and Cumalikizik Management Plan. Finally, this study presents the usability, suitability and practicability of educational charrettes as a community engagement way in the urban design process of the heritage sites while enabling different actors to create new visions to sustain heritage sites. However, it also emphasizes the need for a participatory and holistic urban design process for the Hanlar District of Bursa including the adaptive re-use strategies for the inns to sustain the district.Publication A pilot study: Is belonging one of the effective factors for perception of cities?(Cumhuriyet Univ Tip Fak Psikiyatri Anabilim Dali, 2020-06-01) Kirli Özer, Gözde; KIRLI ÖZER, GÖZDE; Cahantimur, Arzu; ÇAHANTİMUR, ARZU; Kırlı, Selçuk; KIRLI, SELÇUK; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi; AAI-4727-2021; AAH-2742-2021Objective: The identification of the person develops when he/she can distinguish between himself/herself and other relevant persons, and it includes objects, some areas and places that he/she considers his/her own. Thus, place identity is a substructure of self-definition and consists mostly of what one perceives about the physical world in which she lives. In this sense, belonging can be considered as a common field of study psychology, psychiatry and architecture. This study is planned as the first pilot study of a multidisciplinary research series to determine; reflections of the human-place relationship on the selection process and behavior, the perceptions of people about the homeworlds and how changes and/or distortions in perceptions affect people's psychology, and the importance of these effects in terms of psychiatric disorders and what preventive/preventive practices may be. Methods: In order to determine whether the sense of belonging is effective in the perception of a city or not, to measure the current perception of the city, a field study was conducted with the secondary school and undergraduate students who lived in Bursa but had never seen the Iznik before. On a day trip with two groups of students, the city of Iznik was visited by foot on a specific route. At the end of the trip, mental (cognitive) maps were obtained from students about their perception of the city, and then a 12-item General Belonging Scale was applied. Afterwards, the structures which were drawn on the maps and other symbolic elements were grouped as Ottoman, and Roman/Byzantine structures and the dominant preferences were determined for each subject. Conclusion: By comparing the characteristics of these preferences in terms of high and low belonging students' groups, it is concluded that belongingness is an essential factor in the perception of the city.Publication A participatory approach to the sustainable development of an historic landscape; management plan proposal for Hisar district, Bursa/Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021-10-21) Çahatimur, Arzu Ispalar; Öztürk, Rengin Beceren; BEÇEREN ÖZTÜRK, RENGİN; ÇAHANTİMUR, ARZU; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Bölümü; AAH-2742-2021; AAG-9267-2021Hisar District is located within the borders of Osmangazi County. Hisar has a rich historical and cultural heritage and is a valuable historic landscape which carries not only the physical and spatial traces of this heritage but also preserves social and cultural features. With these features, Hisar District should be conserved for a sustainable future. Bursa Metropolitan Municipality considered the Hisar (Citadel) District as an Ottoman and World Heritage site and a research team from Bursa Uludag University has been given the task of preparing a management plan as a project in order to achieve conservation of the site with a sustainable approach. Led by the author of this paper, Dr cahantimur, Bursa Uludag University Project Team prepared the plan with a place-specific and participatory approach. This study presents both the significance of Hisar heritage site and the participatory process of the site management plan. It also presents a critical review of the actions undertaken by the municipality since then.Publication The pentagon model of urban social sustainability: An assessment of sociospatial aspects, comparing two neighborhoods(Mdpi, 2022-05-01) Akçalı, Seyda; Cahantimur, Arzu; ÇAHANTİMUR, ARZU; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mimarlık Fakültesi.; GVS-4254-2022Social concerns have caused a critical rethinking of urban space in today's society, with sociospatial issues at the forefront of discussions. This study aims to better understand the relationship between sociospatial aspects of urban space and social sustainability. We provide a pentagon model for urban social sustainability by identifying five dimensions: person (demographic and household characteristics), place (accessibility, social infrastructure, open spaces, and places for daily operations), people (sense of community, social relations, and social network), perception (sense of place, and security and safety), and process (participation, and future of space). The research methodology includes a spatial analysis, questionnaire survey, and statistical analyses, applied to two study areas in Izmir, Turkey. The findings show that the two study areas have significantly different scores in terms of social sustainability criteria. Residents who reported their neighborhood as being more accessible and having better places for daily operations indicated a higher sense of place and participation. Residents who rated their open spaces more highly reported better social relations and social networks, and greater security and safety. In addition, there are a variety of positive associations between indicators of social sustainability. The study summarizes the relationship between social sustainability indicators, followed by a discussion.Publication Economy and culture in transitions: A comparative study of two architectural heritage sites of bazars and hans of bursa and dhaka(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2012-11-01) Shakur, Tasleem; Hafiz, Roxana; Cahantimur, Arzu; ÇAHANTİMUR, ARZU; Arslan, Tulin Vural; VURAL ARSLAN, TÜLİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/MimarlıkFakültesi.; AAH-2742-2021; AAH-2914-2021Chawkbazar 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.
