ADAPTIVE REUSE OF CAROB WAREHOUSES IN NORTHERN CYPRUS
(Open House Int, 2014) Yuceer, Hulya; Vehbi, Beser Oktay
Scattered mainly along the coast of Cyprus, a series of modest stone built carob warehouses provide a historical legacy of the agricultural, social and economic life of the rural areas of Cyprus during the late 19th and early 20th century. They were constructed of local materials and employed local building techniques, and have become a largely unrecognized part of the local landscape. Most remain in a dilapidated condition through neglect and weathering throughout the years. It is suggested that this is largely due to a lack of understanding of their cultural significance, and a lack of vision as to how a holistic conservation approach could help to address wider strategic policy objectives in the areas of sustainable tourism/place marketing, and rural economic development. More specifically it is suggested that a tourism path incorporating former carob collecting routes could support the adaptive re-use of the former warehouses based upon contemporary cultural needs and opportunities. The development of such an approach will require a multi-agency, cross-sectoral involvement that sees these buildings as a significant cultural resource.

Assessing community awareness for participatory conservation of cultural heritage: the case of Tepebag Tumulus and its surroundings in Adana Turkey
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2023) Umar, Nur; Yuceer, Hulya; Aydin, Rozelin
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the levels of awareness of locals about conservation and cultural heritage, in order to develop suggestions and methods for them to participate in these processes. Design/methodology/approach The method of research is based on face-to-face surveys, mainly questionnaires that were conducted with 1,200 local people. The data obtained was evaluated using the SPSS 25.0.0 V program. Findings The results show that locals mainly find appropriate the assets that reflect their culture but disregard archaeological remains. The participation of locals in the conservation process will end up benefiting them economically. Social implications It is currently accepted that effective conservation cannot be achieved unless its technical considerations are considered together with social and cultural aspects. Ensuring the participation of local people in the conservation process has proved to be important in the development of holistic and sustainable outcomes. In places, where multilayered cultural heritage exists and local residents are from different cultural backgrounds, a detailed assessment of cultural heritage perception that involves local people gains significance. Originality/value It is project-based in the sense of adding the dimension of community awareness to the practice of cultural heritage conservation in the multilayered and multicultural places.
Building Code Challenging the Ethics Behind Adobe Architecture in North Cyprus
(Springer, 2015) Hurol, Yonca; Yuceer, Hulya; Sahali, Oznem
Adobe masonry is part of the vernacular architecture of Cyprus. Thus, it is possible to use this technology in a meaningful way on the island. On the other hand, although adobe architecture is more sustainable in comparison to other building technologies, the use of it is diminishing in North Cyprus. The application of Turkish building code in the north of the island has created complications in respect of the use of adobe masonry, because this building code demands that reinforced concrete vertical tie-beams are used together with adobe masonry. The use of reinforced concrete elements together with adobe masonry causes problems in relation to the climatic response of the building as well as causing other technical and aesthetic problems. This situation makes the design of adobe masonry complicated and various types of ethical problems also emerge. The objective of this article is to analyse the ethical problems which arise as a consequence of the restrictive character of the building code, by analysing two case studies and conducting an interview with an architect who was involved with the use of adobe masonry in North Cyprus. According to the results of this article there are ethical problems at various levels in the design of both case studies. These problems are connected to the responsibilities of architects in respect of the social benefit, material production, aesthetics and affordability of the architecture as well as presenting distrustful behaviour where the obligations of architects to their clients is concerned.
Ethical Guidelines for Structural Interventions to Small-Scale Historic Stone Masonry Buildings
(Springer, 2015) Hurol, Yonca; Yuceer, Hulya; Basarir, Hacer
Structural interventions to historic stone masonry buildings require that both structural and heritage values be considered simultaneously. The absence of one of these value systems in implementation can be regarded as an unethical professional action. The research objective of this article is to prepare a guideline for ensuring ethical structural interventions to small-scale stone historic masonry buildings in the conservation areas of Northern Cyprus. The methodology covers an analysis of internationally accepted conservation documents and national laws related to the conservation of historic buildings, an analysis of building codes, especially Turkish building codes, which have been used in Northern Cyprus, and an analysis of the structural interventions introduced to a significant historic building in a semi-intact state in the walled city of Famagusta. This guideline covers issues related to whether buildings are intact or ruined, the presence of earthquake risk, the types of structural decisions in an architectural conservation project, and the values to consider during the decision making phase.
Impacts of Tourism-Led Constructions on Geoheritage Sites: the Case of Gilindire Cave
(Springer Heidelberg, 2020) Aydin, Rozelin; Yuceer, Hulya
Geological heritage sites are of great importance both for better understanding of the formation of the earth and for transferring its memory to future generations. People's curiosity to access this information leads to tourism activity, in which caves constitute a significant place as sources of geotouristic attractions. In the case of Turkey, caves can also be considered as the major source of tourist attractions and thus economic gain providers for local communities. Focusing on the contribution of tourism to the economy, most local authorities allow tourism activity for the caves without adequate research. This leads to the construction of buildings for the needs of visitors and the installation of walking pathways, ladders, and luminaires inside the caves, which are in most cases harmful to cave ecosystems. Located on the Mediterranean coastline of Turkey, Gilindire Cave presents such a case. Unlike other caves in Turkey, it is among three caves that were found to occur in the Cambrian limestone caves literature. Thus, any data to be detected in this environment is of scientific importance. However, service buildings constructed in the upper elevation of the cave and visitor stairs and luminaires installed in the interior constitute major threats to accessing this valuable information. In this context, the study aims to examine the caves in the scope of geotourism and tourism-led constructions through the example of Gilindire Cave. As a result, the study underpins the importance of diligent investigation of cave ecosystems prior to any tourism-led activity and principles for the service structures to be built in such geoheritage sites.
New Uses for Traditional Buildings: The Olive Oil Mills of the Karpas Peninsula, Cyprus
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Vehbi, Beser Oktay; Yuceer, Hulya; Hurol, Yonca
Traditional agro-industrial buildings in rural areas reflect the way of life of past communities and their dependence on agriculture. Although conservation is critical for the transfer of knowledge about past generations and in sustaining community identity and development, many of these building types worldwide are threatened by dereliction due to the emergence of new technologies that cannot be housed in the old buildings. This study suggests that their reuse for tourism purposes, especially in countries of limited resources and opportunities, can help rural development by attracting both people and investment. The claim is exemplified by the case of traditional olive oil mills in Cyprus, which are considered significant elements of the rural landscape. The research focuses on the Karpas Peninsula, where the majority of traditional olive mills are either derelict or in poor condition, though where some have already been destroyed. A brief literature review of industrial heritage and alternative tourism forms the basis for the evaluation of the case study. The research highlights the significance of olives and olive oil for the Cypriot community, and discusses the current social and economic dynamics of the Karpas Peninsula through an examination of the potential of 18 traditional olive mills. The study suggests the reuse of traditional olive mills through alternative tourism and the development of thematic heritage routes.
Rural carob warehouses in Cyprus: an assessment of architectural and structural characteristics
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Vehbi, Beser Oktay; Yuceer, Hulya; Hurol, Yonca
Carob warehouses in the rural areas of Cyprus constitute one of the rare examples of traditional industrial building types that are evidence of a vanishing tradition of agricultural, social and economic life. These warehouses were built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and used as part of the carob production and export industry that showed a drastic decline after 1960 and virtually vanished in the following decade, resulting in the dereliction of the warehouses. Today, very few of them are in good condition, some have disappeared, and many are left with major structural damage or have been partially destroyed. In order to contribute to their protection and to add to the existing literature on industrial buildings in rural areas, the present work aims to examine the architectural and structural characteristics of rural carob warehouses in Cyprus. The assessments are based on a model formed through observations noted during the field survey in the northern section of the island where 15 carob warehouses are located mainly on the coast. The model of architectural and structural features of the warehouses includes the recording of alterations, material deterioration and structural damage. The study concludes with an overall approach for the restoration and consolidation of the warehouses employing techniques that follow the principles of international charters. Suggestions are given for promoting the potential of these heritage assets and enabling assessment of their general reuse potentials. It is found that among the 15 existing warehouses three of them have already been restored and the other 12 require restoration.
The Ancient City of Anazarbos and Its Significance as a World Heritage Site
(Springer, 2021) Yuceer, Hulya; Gulsen, F. Fatih; Aydin, Rozelin; Guler, Selen
The concept of world heritage constitutes an important political, cultural and economic agenda in contemporary society, even though it has been criticized for being Eurocentric. In the case of developing countries such as Turkey, inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List helps generate much needed income through grants and tourism activity. There are currently eighteen sites in Turkey that are on the World Heritage List, and another eighty-three on the tentative list, the majority of which have been inscribed in the last decade. However, such an acceleration of attempts to promote sites as world heritage because of their attributes can also lead to conflicts about the values of the sites, project management, community enhancement and the degree to which important related studies are carried out. The ancient city of Anazarbos is one that exemplifies such a situation. The site's history as cultural and military cross-roads in the Cilicia region, and the potential to reveal those who successively inhabited and controlled it paved the way to its inclusion in the tentative list in 2014 by meeting the outstanding universal values. In this context, this study aims to provide an accurate background of in the hope of raising its status so that further research can be carried out. The study first presents the case for the concept of world heritage and then offers a thorough assessment of the city in terms of its heritage significance. Following a discussion on the values associated with the site and the changing dynamics after its inclusion to the list, the study concludes with suggestions for its holistic conservation.
The conservation of traditional olive oil mills in Cyprus
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Yuceer, Hulya; Vehbi, Beser Oktay; Hurol, Yonca
Naturally grown and still present in the rural areas of Cyprus, olives and the oil they produce have had a significant place for Cypriots. Since olive oil has been used widely for culinary, religious, and medical purposes throughout history, the methods of oil extraction have developed from being very basic in ancient times to the machinery production of today. Olive mills that house this activity became integral parts of villages where olive groves were dense. More recently the establishment of large factories rendered traditional olive mills redundant and the lack of maintenance of these has resulted in serious deterioration. This paper presents olive oil mills as witnesses of a traditional way of life and a significant feature of the rural landscapes of Cyprus, and aims to develop conservation proposals. It focuses on the olive oil mills in the villages of the Karpas region, which has largely maintained its rural character and houses dense olive groves. The architectural and structural characteristics of 18 olive oil mills with traditional machinery that are located in 14 villages are documented and analysed. The study identifies major building defects and presents conservation strategies to address 12 olive oil mills.
