Name, Last name :Açalya Alpan Signature __________________: iv ABSTRACT URBAN RESTRUCTURING PROCESS OF ANTALYA WALLED-TOWN AND THE ROLES OF STAKEHOLDERS Alpan, Açalya Ph. D., Department of City and Regional Planning Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Numan Tuna September 2013, 244 pages With the establishment of SPI (State Planning Institution) in 1960, Turkey entered the ‘planned period’, and ‘planning’ became the major means of the State for realizing its intentions and producing or reproducing space. However, it is argued in the dissertation that another major agent in these production and reproduction processes is ‘society’, which generates its own tools of sanction to impose its will on the space. As a result, space is actually reproduced both by the State and by society and what is actually formed is a hybrid product. The reproduction of the present-day Walled-Town of Antalya has been a product of such a process, in which the generating factor is tourism. Since the transition into the planned period in Turkey, tourism has been seen as a major resource to overcome foreign income deficit. The State usually applied mass tourism policies in the coastal areas, particularly in the Aegean and Mediterranean. These policies dominantly depended upon ‘sun-sand-sea’ tourism. As a result of these policies, Antalya region soon became a target of development as the main tourism center of Turkey and a period of a series of plans launched. Apart from mass tourism mainly based upon the sun-sand-sea tourism has also become a major tool to regenerate and revitalize historic towns and historic town centers all around the world, particularly in the post-war period. Coherent with this tendency, the conservation planning of Antalya Walled-Town, which was initiated by the State, was also handled using tourism as the main generating factor. The spread of tourism as a land use in the region was seen as a factor in this decision. However, the type of tourism in the Walled- Town is mainly cultural tourism as opposed to sun-sand-sea tourism that is prevalent in the region. In such a context, the Walled-Town was restructured as a tourist-historic city after the 1970s. v In this framework, this dissertation explores the restructuring process of Antalya Walled- Town after 1970, by investigating how it came out to be a hybrid product of official and civilian wills. The reproduction process is one of complex relations, conflicts and compromises, and patronage relations among different stakeholders, which are categorized as official and civilian stakeholders in the dissertation. By exploring how the Walled-Town was reproduced as a hybrid product, the roles of these stakeholders in the restructuring process are revealed and it forms a basis for future planning studies in the area by explaining the nature of the phenomenon. Keywords: urban planning, tourism, tourist-historic city, stakeholder, Antalya Walled-Town vi ÖZ ANTALYA KALEİÇİ’NİN YENİDEN YAPILANDIRILMA SÜRECİ VE PAYDAŞLARIN ROLÜ Alpan, Açalya Doktora, Şehir ve Bölge Planlama Tez Danışmanı: Prof. Dr. Numan Tuna Eylül 2013, 244 sayfa 1960 yılında Devlet Planlama Teşkilatı’nın kurulması ile birlikte Türkiye ‘planlı dönem’e geçmiştir ve ‘planlama’ devletin kendi niyetlerini gerçekleştirmesinin ve mekanın üretilmesinin veya yeniden üretilmesinin temel aracı haline gelmiştir. Ancak, bu tezde tartışıldığı üzere bu üretim ve yeniden üretim süreçlerindeki bir başka ana aracı, mekan üzerindeki niyetlerini gerçekleştirebilmek için kendi yaptırım araçlarını üreten toplumun kendisidir. Böylece, gerçekte mekan hem devlet hem de toplum tarafından birlikte yeniden üretilmekte ve sonuçta ortaya melez bir ürün çıkmaktadır. Günümüz Antalya’sında Antalya Kaleiçi’nin yeniden üretilmesi, üretici factor olarak turizmin kullanılmış olduğu böyle bir sürecin ürünüdür. Türkiye’de planlı döneme geçildiğinden bu yana turizm, döviz eksiğini gidermede ana bir kaynak olarak görülmüştür. Devlet genellikle, özellikle Ege ve Akdeniz bölgelerindeki kıyı alanlarında, kitle turizmini geliştirme politikalarını takip etmiştir. Bu politikalar baskın şekilde güneş, deniz, kum turizmine dayanmaktadır. Bu politikalara bağlı olarak Antalya bölgesi kısa zamanda Türkiye’nin ana turizm merkezi olarak geliştirilme hedefi haline gelmiş ve böylece bir dizi planlama çalışması başlatılmıştır. Güneş, deniz, kuma dayalı kitle turizminden farklı olarak, tüm dünyada özellikle 2. Dünya Savaşı sonrasında turizm tarihi kentleri ve tarihi kent merkezlerini canlandırmak için temel bir araç haline gelmiştir. Bu eğilimle uyumlu bir şekilde Antalya Kaleiçi’nin devlet tarafından başlatılmış olan koruma planlaması turizmi ana üretici etken olarak ele almıştır. Bu seçimde Antalya bölgesi geneline turizm kullanımının getirilmiş olması etkili kılınmıştır. Ancak, Kaleiçi’ndeki turizm türü bölgedeki güneş, deniz, kum turizminden farklı olarak temelde kültür turizmidir. Böyle bir vii bağlamda 1970 sonrasında Antalya Kaleiçi bir turistik-tarihi şehir olarak yeniden yapılanmıştır. Bu çerçevede bu tez, Antalya Kaleiçi’nin 1970 sonrasındaki yeniden yapılandırılma sürecini Kaleiçi’nin resmi ve sivil isteklerin melez bir ürünü olarak nasıl ortaya çıkmış olduğunu ortaya koyarak incelemektedir. Bu üretim süreci, tezde resmi ve sivil paydaşlar olarak kategorilenmiş farklı paydaşlar arasındaki karışık ilişkilerin, çatışma ve uzlaşmaların, patronaj ilişkilerinin sürecidir. Kaleiçi’nin melez bir ürün olarak nasıl yeniden üretilmiş olduğu açınsanarak bu paydaşların bu yeniden yapılandırma sürecindeki rolleri ortaya çıkacak ve bu da olgunun doğasını açıklayarak gelecekteki planlama çalışmaları için bir taban oluşturacaktır. Anahtar kelimeler: kent planlama, turizm, turistik-tarihi kent, paydaş, Antalya Kaleiçi viii DEDICATION To My Family And In Memory of Our Beloved Professor Emre Madran ix ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to begin by expressing our sorrow on behalf of myself and jury members upon the passing away of our beloved jury member Assoc.

  • On the Political Sociology of the Imperial Greek City Arjan Zuiderhoek
    On the Political Sociology of the Imperial Greek City Arjan Zuiderhoek But above all things, we must remind them that being a pol- itician consists not only in holding office, being ambassador, vociferating in the assembly and ranting round the speakers’ platform proposing laws and motions. Most people think all that is part of being a politician, just as they think of course that those are philosophers who sit in a chair and converse and prepare their lectures over their books. HUS WROTE PLUTARCH in his essay Whether an old man should engage in public affairs.1 It seems an offhand remark, T but all the more interesting for that. For here we have a comment on contemporary Greek civic politics, written prob- ably sometime in the first two decades of the second century, in which the activities of the Greek politicians of the day are described in terms (“vociferating in the assembly,” “ranting around the speaker’s platform”) at least to some extent rem- iniscent of the political world of democratic Athens centuries earlier. It is a description that does not quite seem to fit the common scholarly depiction of the later Hellenistic and Roman Greek cities as strongly oligarchic societies, dominated socially and politically by small coteries of (often interrelated) elite families whose governing institution of choice was the boule, the city council.2 This, then, prompts the question: which of these two contrasting images is nearer the truth? Should we dismiss Plutarch’s remarks as merely another manifestation of 1 Mor. 796C–D (transl. Fowler, modified). 2 See most recently M.

  • Olympian Triad
    136 Olympian Triad J G R Harcling Plates 57-fJO Part I-Winter Olympus! The very name evokes imagery, divinity and soaring aspiration­ 'Altius' of the Olympic motto. Certainly, no other mountain in classical consciousness had a greater wealth of mythological and poetic association. And this was due in part to the religious conceptions of Ancient Greece in whose cosmography the world was created as a disc with Greece its centre and Mount Olympus-touching heaven and synonymous with it-the apex; in part to its poets and particularly Homer, the literary protagonist of the Olympians. Homer's Olympus was an imaginary paradise 'not shaken by winds, nor wet with rains, nor touched with snow'. The reality is a formidable mountain, snow-bound for six months of the year. But then, the Ancient Greeks had no real sympathy for mountains or mountain scenery. According to the Protago­ rean ethic, man was the measure of all things and humanism the dominant philosophy. The gods who inhabited Olympus were themselves a reflection of Man. For the Greeks the magic of the mountains was not scenic but rather their association with the spirits of nature and particularly the Oreads-nymphs whose task it was to guide the weary traveller through the dreary upland wastes. Although Homer's Olympus was more a concept than a reality, the mountain which is indisputably identified as the home of the Gods from which Zeus despatched his thunderbolts is the great massif rising almost 3000m from the shores of the Gulf of Thermae. From time immemorial it has been an obstacle to invaders moving down from Macedonia to the plains of Thessaly and on this high stage were enacted numberless mythological dramas.

John Ruskin (1819 - 1900) To MY FAMILY AND TU THE MEMORY OF J. B. WARD-PERKINS (1912 - 1981) i ABSTRACT This thesis deals primarily with the materials and techniques found in the Eastern Empire up to the 4th century AD, putting them into their proper historical and developmental context. The first chapter examines the development of architecture in general from the very earliest times until the beginnin .g of the Roman Empire, with particular attention to the architecture in Roman Italy. This provides the background for the study of East Roman architecture in detail. Chapter II is a short exposition of the basic engineering principles and terms upon which to base subsequent despriptions. The third chapter is concerned with the main materials in use in the Eastern Mediterranean - mudbrick, timber, stone, mortar and mortar rubble, concrete and fired brick. Each one is discussed with regard to manufacture/quarrying, general physical properties and building uses. Chapter IV deals with marble and granite in a similar way but the main marble types are described individually and distribution maps are provided for each in Appendix I. The marble trade and the use of marble in Late Antiquity are also examined. Chapter V is concerned with the different methods pf wall construction and with the associated materials.

GENERAL DISCUSSION……………………………………………..19 2 OVERVIEW of the PROJECT The Kas-Kekova region, sometimes called Lycian coasts, has a unique natural heritage. Lycia is a part of the Turkish Mediterranean coast where some sections are still not destroyed by human development. This coastline includes the most variable and spectacular coastal and marine landscapes, as well as fauna and flora. Kas-Kekova region supports a wide array of habitats and species including Posidonia oceanica meadows, groupers, common dentex and many invertebrates species. The surrounding waters support marine turtles, monk seals and dolphins, and the small islets (Bes Adalar) are home to feeding and breeding colonies of these species. Marine bio-diversity assessment carried out in the framework of MedPAN South Project in 2009 to figure out complete biodiversity within the border of Kas-Kekova SPA. It was a complementary study of the work has been done in 2002 and 2006. During the previous studies only certain species were investigated that were selected based on their IUCN status (endangered, threatened) and protection status under international conventions or under the National Fisheries Manual and their presence in the survey area and in addition some flagship species were selected to highlight the habitats. In the framework of this project not only the marine species were examined, but also as much information as possible about the sediment structure, physical properties, fauna and flora of the region was gathered, due to the nature of the project as being the first and most detailed of its kind.

The changes which have occured in the profile and tendency of the customers, force the tourism sector inevi- tably to improve the products according to the demand’s needs. In order to meet the needs and expectations of the customers and changed features of the demands, it is necessary to improve new tourism types in the different fields. Interesting tourism products and services are showed as the alternative of the mass tourism and reflect the whole tendencies which have improved to satisfy different and special interest beyond the interest which have improved around sea, sun and sand. So, improving interesting tourism products and services become very im- portant. One of the interesting tourism products and services (especially for the cultural tourism) is the tradi- tional Turkish Bath (Turkish Hamam) which have been to be transferred from the past to the present. The tradi- tional Turkish Bath (Hamam) is the variant of a steam bath, which can be categorized as a wet relative of the sauna. The Turkish Baths have played an important role in cultures of the Turkey, serving as places of social gathering, ritual cleansing, and as architectural structures, institutions, and (later) elements with special cus- toms attached to them.

  • Lifestyle Migration to Turkey
    LIFESTYLE MIGRATION TO TURKEY: EU CITIZENS LIVING ON THE TURKISH SUNBELT1 İlkay Südaş, PhD [email protected] EGE UNIVERSITY, FACULTY OF LETTERS, DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY, TURKEY Lifestyle migration terms the migration movement of relatively affluent individuals moving voluntarily to the places where they believe they can lead a better life. This is a form of migration that emerges related to rapid globalization and there is a strong nexus between lifestyle migration and tourism. Repeating previous tourist visits to the destinations are the main connection with the migration areas and purchasing second homes is a “stepping stone” (Casado-Diaz 2012) towards permanent or seasonal retirement migration. Friends and relatives already living in the destination are also influential in migration decision. O’Reilly and Benson (2009, 2) point out that the previous research has attempted to link the mobilities to wider phenomena using umbrella concepts such as retirement migration, leisure migration, international counter-urbanization, second home ownership, amenity seeking or seasonal migration. Combining these different conceptualizations, O’Reilly and Benson (2009) suggest the term “lifestyle migration” which is described as the migration movement of “relatively affluent individuals, moving, en masse, either part or full time, permanently or temporarily, to countries where the cost of living and/or the price of property is cheaper; places which, for various reasons, signify a better quality or pace of life. Lifestyle migrants are individuals with high mobility, permanently or seasonally relocating to the areas in pursuit of a better way of life. The seasonal or permanent migration of elderly northern Europeans towards the coastal areas of Southern European countries like Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and Greece has become an important phenomenon.
