Abstract

This study investigates the integrity between the visual landscape and the acoustic landscape characteristics of an urban historic district of Ankara, namely Hamamönü that has recently faced an urban renewal process. Data were collected through questionnaire surveys, field observations and sound level measurements. Findings show that despite the visual character of the buildings has been preserved and restored according to the original, the uses, users, and consequently the character of the area has changed. It is needed to develop a holistic approach where integrity between different landscape elements and functions should be the focus in order to maintain historical values in urban environments.
