Prof. Dr. Ayşe Güliz Bilgin Altınöz Co-Supervisor: Dr. Sibel Yıldırım Esen December 2019, 195 pages The number of disasters in the world is increasing each year due to various natural, human-induced, and climate change-induced hazards such as earthquakes, floods, fires, and many others. Hence, cultural heritage sites, which are unrenewable resources, are under destructive effects of such disasters. In order to safeguard heritage places that are threatened, international studies have been accelerated in recent years. A manual entitled 'Managing Disaster Risks for World Heritage' was prepared by UNESCO, ICCROM, ICOMOS and IUCN in 2010 in order to define disaster risk management process for World Heritage Sites. Due to its historical and cultural richness, Turkey possesses cultural heritage places, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites. However, since the country is prone to disasters, these cultural assets are exposed to various natural, human-induced, and climate change-induced threats. Risks threatening cultural heritage have to be managed through effective management strategies in order to safeguard the cultural richness of the country. Accordingly, a thorough assessment of disaster risk management in a world heritage site in Turkey based on international standards in the above-mentioned manual is crucial for understanding areas that need to be strengthened for effective disaster risk management of cultural heritage. v Following the approaches of the manual for World Heritage Sites, this study aims to test the applicability of the manual in the context of Turkey through assessing the disaster risk management in a World Heritage Site; Bergama and Its Multi-Layered Cultural Landscape. Within the scope of the study, risks threatening the case study area are identified and existing systems, tools and mechanisms of the cultural heritage disaster risk management processes (identification, prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery) are examined. Addressing the roles and responsibilities of public institutions in Turkey, the integration of disaster risk management for cultural heritage in the existing disaster risk management systems is proposed. As risk assessment and effective risk management requires collecting and processing extensive amount of data related to hazards, and vulnerabilities of cultural assets, risk databases should be developed through the collaboration of responsible organizations in Turkey. Keywords: Disaster Risk Management, DRM, World Heritage Site, Bergama, UNESCO vi ÖZ TÜRKİYE’DEKİ BİR DÜNYA MİRAS ALANINDA AFET RİSKİ YÖNETİMİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ: BERGAMA ÖRNEĞİ Aygün Gürsoy, Aslı Yüksek Lisans, Kültürel Mirası Koruma Tez Danışmanı: Doç. Dr. Ayşe Güliz Bilgin Altınöz Ortak Tez Danışmanı: Dr. Sibel Yıldırım Esen Aralık 2019, 195 sayfa Dünyadaki afet sayısı, deprem, sel ve yangın gibi doğal, insan ve iklim değişikliği kaynaklı etkenler nedeniyle her yıl artmaktadır. Bu sebeple, yenilenemeyen kaynaklar olan kültürel miras alanları da afetlerin yıkıcı etkisi altındadır. Tehdit altındaki bu alanlarının korunmasına ilişkin uluslararası çalışmalar son yıllarda artmıştır. 2010 yılında UNESCO, ICCROM, ICOMOS, IUCN tarafından afet risk yönetimi sürecini dünya miras alanları için tanımlamak amacıyla ‘Dünya Mirası için Afet Risklerini Yönetme’ başlıklı bir el kitabı hazırlanmıştır. Türkiye, tarihi ve kültürel zenginlikleri nedeniyle UNESCO dünya miras alanları da dahil olmak üzere çok sayıda miras alanına sahiptir. Ancak Türkiye’nin bir afet ülkesi olması nedeniyle, söz konusu alanlar doğal, insan ve iklim değişikliği kaynaklı çeşitli afet türlerine maruz kalmaktadır. Kültürel mirası tehdit eden risklerin, etkili yönetim stratejileri ile yönetilmesi, ülkenin kültürel zenginliğinin korunması için zorunludur. Dolayısıyla, Türkiye’deki bir dünya miras alanının afet risk yönetiminin yukarıda değinilen el kitabında yer alan uluslararası standartlar çerçevesinde değerlendirilmesi, kültürel miras için afet riski yönetiminde güçlendirilmesi gereken alanların anlaşılması açısından önemlidir. vii Dünya Miras Alanları için hazırlanan el kitabındaki uluslararası yaklaşımları izleyen bu çalışma, el kitabının Türkiye bağlamında uygulanabilirliğini, bir dünya miras alanı olan Bergama Çok Katmanlı Kültürel Peyzaj Alanı’nın afet risk yönetimini değerlendirerek test etmeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışma kapsamında, çalışma alanını tehdit eden riskler tanımlanmış ve kültürel miras için afet riski yönetim süreçlerinin (tanımlama, önleme, azaltma, afetlere hazırlıklı olma, müdahale, iyileştirme) mevcut sistem, araç ve mekanizmaları incelenmiştir. Türkiye’deki kamu kuruluşlarının görev ve sorumlulukları değerlendirilerek, kültürel miras için afet riski yönetiminin mevcut risk yönetimi sistemlerine entegrasyonu için öneriler geliştirilmiştir. Risk değerlendirme ve etkili risk yönetimi, doğal ve insan kaynaklı afetlere ve kültür varlıklarının hasar görebilirliklerine ilişkin önemli miktarda verinin toplanmasını ve işlenmesini gerektirdiğinden, Türkiye’deki sorumlu kuruluşların iş birliği ile risk veri tabanları oluşturulması önerilmiştir.

Co˘grafyaBölümü, Çi˘gli Izmir˙ / TÜRKIYE˙ ‡ These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: Topography represented by high resolution digital elevation models are able to inform past and present morphological process on the terrain. High resolution LiDAR data taken by the General Directorate of Map at the surroundings of the Bergama city shows great opportunities to understand the morphological process on alluvial fan on which the city is located and the flood plain of Bakırçay river near the alluvial fan. In this paper the LiDAR data collected in 2015 have been used to create DEM’s to understand the geomorphological evolution of the alluvial fan and the flood plain around it. Since the proximal roots and medial parts of the alluvial fan have been the scene for a long human settlement most topographical traces of the morphological process have been distorted. Nevertheless, the traces of past and present morphological process at the distal fan which consist the contact zone with the flood plain are very clear on the DEM created from LiDAR data. The levees and some old courses of Bergama and Bakırçay rivers have been shown on the maps which are also important to understand the ancient roads which follows these levees.

The arable lands and water resources of the world are rapidly becoming polluted and disappearing. Scientists think that mankind will in the near future be faced with a serious shortage of water and food. In the light of these developments, the biological diversity of a country is becoming a major strength, especially in terms of genetic resources. As a country that has vital resources for people’s food security. Turkey is one of the fortunate countries of the world from the viewpoint of biological diversity. This considerable wealth both offers our country economic opportunities and imposes upon it the responsibility to establish a conservation- utilization balance.

  • In Appreciation…
    In Appreciation… One of the outstanding examples of success created through the cooperation of industrial establishments and non-governmental organizations in our country is the solidarity achieved between Philip Morris/Sabancı, The Aegean Foundation for Economic Development and The Association of Aegean Industrialists and Businessmen. Within the framework of the above mentioned cooperation, we launched the program entitled “The EU Training for the Aegean Opinion Leaders” as of 2005 and closely followed the developments related to the European Union Integration processes in the cities of Afyonkarahisar, Aydın, Balıkesir, Çanakkale, Denizli, İzmir, Kütahya, Manisa, Muğla and Uşak; realized impact analysis on the basis of sectors and shared our knowledge in seminars in which 3500 persons participated and also at “round-table” meetings. This book in your hands now, is another outcome of our cooperation. It is an end- product of the project on which The Aegean Foundation for Economic Development (EGEV) has been working since 2007. In this study, which we believe is a valuable reference source for the Aegean Region; Philip Morris / Sabancı, once again, in proof of its strong awareness of social responsibility, has not left us alone. On behalf of The Aegean Foundation for Economic Development (EGEV), we hereby express our boundless thanks and appreciation primarily to the Governorship of Izmir, Provincial Council General of Izmir and Presidentship of Izmir Municipality, to the Board of the Chairmen of Izmir Chambers, to all of our esteemed trustees, to all of the trainers who undertook responsibilities in the training program and to all of the participants for their presence and also for their intellectual support.

  • SWOT Analysis of West Anatolia in the Context of History and Culture Tourism Potential
    Central European Journal of Geography and Sustainable Development 2019, 1 (2): 44-52, Article no. 4 SWOT Analysis of West Anatolia in the Context of History and Culture Tourism Potential Tamer Baran¹,*, Serkan Bașol² ¹Pamukkale University; [email protected] ²Pamukkale University; [email protected] Received: 12 July 2019; Revised: 25 August 2019; Accepted: 30 August 2019; Published online: 25 October 2019 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: The Anatolian peninsula is a unique geography which harbors almost all development stages of human history. As a piece of land that witnessed almost all the cultural, political, social and economic structures established by humanity including the first settlements built following the hunter-gatherer cultures, the start of agriculture, the foundation of the first central states following the principalities of the Bronze Age, the formation of empires following the Ancient Polis (city) States, Anatolia has a naturally rich archaeological heritage. In order to make use of this rich historical and cultural heritage in an efficient and sustainable way, especially in the tourism sector, one needs to determine the strengths and weaknesses of this potential. This study aims to make better use of the tourism potential of Western Anatolia by examining the strengths and weaknesses of the region with SWOT analysis method on Western Anatolia sample. Key words: tourism potential, tourism marketing, history and culture tourism, West Anatolia, SWOT analysis ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. INTRODUCTION Historical and cultural tourism (HCT) can be defined as "a tourism phenomenon that aims to witness, experience and acquire knowledge about the concrete and intangible values belonging to the contemporary and ancient cultures and that consists of direct and/or indirect activities based on the acquisition of products and services related to this" [1].

Richter Copyright© by the University of Michigan 1975 All rights reserved ISBN 0-472-08420-8 Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 73-80574 Published in the United States of America by The University of Michigan Press and simultaneously in Don Mills, Canada, by Longman Canada Limited Manufactured in the United States of America Preface The privilege to present the Thomas Spencer Jerome Lectures gives me a welcome opportunity to place in a wider framework researches which I have pursued for the past twenty-five years at Sardis and elsewhere in Asia Minor. These lectures were delivered in winter, 1971, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and in spring, 1972, at the American Academy in Rome. The infectious enthusiasm of Gerald F. Else, Secretary of the Jerome Committee and a friend of many years, and the kindness of John Griffiths Pedley and other colleagues made the stay in Ann Arbor a memorable experience. We are deeply indebted to the Jerome Lec­ tures Committee and to its Chairman, Dean Donald F. Stokes for their generous hospitality. The American Academy in Rome is a wonderful haven for scholars. It was a great pleasure to renew contacts with the devotees of Rome, young and, old, and to learn from the Roman colleagues of their new, exciting discoveries.
