    Turkey 175 TURKEY Threats to the World Heritage in the Changing Metropolitan Areas of Istanbul The Historic Areas of Istanbul on the Bosporus peninsula were in- scribed in 1985 in the World Heritage List, not including Galata and without a buffer zone to protect the surroundings. Risks for the historic urban topography of Istanbul, especially by a series of high- rise buildings threatening the historic urban silhouette, were already presented in Heritage at Risk 2006/2007 (see the visual impact as- sessment study by Astrid Debold-Kritter on pp. 159 –164). In the last years, dynamic development and transformation have changed the metropolitan areas with a new scale of building inter- ventions and private investments. Furthermore, the privatisation of urban areas and the development of high-rise buildings with large ground plans or in large clusters have dramatically increased. orld eritagea,,eerules and standards set upby arely knownconveyrthe ap- provedConflicts in managing the World Heritage areas of Istanbul Metropolis derive from changing the law relevant for the core area- sisthe .

  • Bianca Elliott Lesson Title WHAT to THINK ABOUT the BALKAN
    Bianca Elliott Lesson Title WHAT TO THINK ABOUT THE BALKAN SITUATION IN THE 1800S AND 1900S Class and Grade level(s) High School World History Classes or Western Civilization Classes Goals and Objectives The student will be able to: • Read and view materials that provide multiple views of the Balkan situation in the 1800 and 1900 AD. • After reading the selections, students will determine the geographic relevance of the activi- ties that occurred in the Balkans and the political entities involved. • Students will then decide if geography played a critical part in the decision they made and the decisions made in the past. They will verify their answers. • Students will analyze the different forces pulling at and within the Balkans and determine if there were any other ways the end could have changed and how. Curriculum standards addressed: Geography: The student uses a working knowledge and understanding of the spatial organiza- tion of Earth’s surface and relationships between peoples and places and physical and human environments in order to explain the interactions that occur in Kansas, the United States, and in our world. Benchmark 1: Geographic Tools and Location: The student uses maps, graphic representations, tools, and technologies to locate, use, and present information about people, places, and environ- ments. The student: 1. (K) locates major political and physical features of Earth from memory and compares the rela- tive locations of those features. Locations will be included in indicator at each grade level (e.g., Beijing, English Channel, India, Iraq, Moscow, Sahara Desert, South Africa, Venezuela, Balkan Peninsula, Berlin, Black Sea, Bosporus Strait, Euphrates River, Geneva, Hong Kong, Israel, Libya, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Suez Canal, Tigris River, Tokyo, Yangtze River).

  • 1 Russian Policy in the Balkans, 1878-1914
    1 Russian Policy in the Balkans, 1878-1914 At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the Balkans were the most turbulent region in Europe. On the one hand were the Balkan peoples with their aims of creating their own national states with the broadest borders possible, and on the other, the ambitions of the Great Powers to gain spheres of influence in the European territories of the Ottoman Empire. This led to a continually strained and unstable situation. 1.1 Between the Two Wars: 1856-1877 The Crimean War proved to be the turning point in the relations between Russia and the Near East. After this first serious defeat of the Russian army in a war with the Ottoman Empire, Christians of the Near East and the Balkans looked more and more towards Europe. The image of Russia as the liberator of the Orthodox inhabitants of the Ottoman Empire faded and the authority of the Russian tsar was to a great extent lost. Russian diplomacy after 1856 focused totally on the restoration of Russia’s former authority. Of great significance in this process were the activities of Count N. P. Ignatiev, the ambassa- dor to Constantinople from 1864 to 1877.11 His idea of creating ‘Greater Bulgaria’, a large south-Slavonic state in the Balkans, as a base for Russian interests and further penetra- tion towards the Straits, received the support of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and coincided with the intentions of Tsar Alexander II. In 1870, the Russian government declared that it would no longer comply with the restrictions of the Paris Treaty of 1856.

  • Structural and Earthquake Response Analysis of Little Hagia Sophia
    13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering Vancouver, B.C., Canada August 1-6, 2004 Paper No. 2652 STRUCTURAL AND EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE ANALYSIS OF THE LITTLE HAGIA SOFHIA MOSQUE Kadir GÜLER 1, Ahmet SAĞLAMER2 , Zekai CELEP2 , Ferhat PAKDAMAR3 SUMMARY In this study, the structural and earthquake response of the Little Hagia Sophia Mosque (Kucuk Ayasofya Camii) of Istanbul is investigated. The building has lived several earthquakes, various parts of the building were damaged, plasters fell and cracks appeared in the walls and in the main dome. Recently, a large scale restoration has been started by the Great Municipality of Istanbul. Within this activity, the building is investigated in detail and soil testing is been carried out to identify the properties of the soil. This paper presents the primary results of the structural and earthquake response analysis of the historical building within the development of appropriate methods and techniques for repair and strengthening of the Little Hagia Sophia Mosque. A brief discussion is presented for possible strengthening of the foundation and the structure of the historical building. INTRODUCTION The Little Hagia Sophia Mosque (Kucuk Ayasofya Camii) is one of the oldest historical buildings in Istanbul. In fact the building is also known as Sergius and Bacchus Church which was converted to a Mosque following the Ottoman conquest of the city. It remains the oldest surviving Byzantine monument in Istanbul. Due to numerous internal and external alterations as well as natural disasters that have occurred since its construction, severe cracks, especially in its dome and vaults have developed. The building has been subjected to a number of earthquakes of different level of intensities.
