Abstract

Urban conservation areas are among the most important implementation decisions for urban conservation. Despite the physical or social researches in the urban conservation areas, no study has been found that examines the historical changes in the conservation area boundaries. In this context, the aim of this section is to examine the historical change of the urban conservation areas located in the city center of Trabzon-Ortahisar through the legal documents. The examination was carried out on the documents containing the decisions of the conservation councils in the archive of the Trabzon Regional Council Directorate for Conservation of Cultural Properties. As a result of the researches, it has been determined that the boundaries of the urban conservation area have changed many times over time and %54 of the conservated areas have been taken out of the conservation area compared to the first announced area. Another important finding of the research is that in a period when the holistic planning approach is adopted, fragmentary conservation practices such as conservation zones continue to be used frequently.
