Abstract

The city in Turkey now known as Konuralp was important during the Ottoman period, and is the site of the antique city of Prusias ad Hypium, with a rich historical past in the Hellenistic period. At present, the cultural landscape district of the ancient residential area of Prusias ad Hypium is threatened by growth of the university, and industrial plants are replacing surrounding farmlands. This study aimed to evaluate the natural and cultural resources of Konuralp, to assess the vulnerability of its urban legacy under socio-economic pressures, and to integrate urban heritage values using the historical urban landscape approach. For this study, urban conservation was regarded as the tool for the management of change by integrating it into the broader planning framework. This research examined the city's historical urban landscape by using survey methods and remote sensing to assess the landscape character exchange between the years 1982 and 2015.
