IS THE SPATIAL CONSERVATION OF A HISTORICAL NEIGHBOURHOOD ALONE, ABLE TO MAKE IT SUSTAINABLE?
Abstract :
Rapid and unplanned urbanisation and its chaotic problems such as urban sprawl and ecological degradations have been phenomenal particularly in the agenda of developing countries. This process accentuated the pressure over the last three or so decades on heritage zones, hence cities were introduced to the term ‘sustainability’. The importance of both spatial and social-economic sustainability in co-ordination has increased extremely. This paper was prepared based on the research performed on the Bey neighbourhood, a historic neighbourhood in the city centre of Gaziantep which also once harboured Armenian and Jewish communities. The overarching objective is to put forward the strong relationship between spatial and social sustainability in historical spaces. The data obtained through the surveys and interviews and the street renewal project implemented by the municipality were analysed taking into account the basic principles of sustainability.
