Research on the change of Ankara Ulus City Center identified with its historical texture

Abstract

When we look at the history of the city centers, it is seen that these centers were formed around an important religious structure, a special structure or an administrative structure. City centers are cultural spaces that mirror the culture of that city and build bridges between the past and the future. At the same time, these centers are an important place of the city and contribute to the identity of the city. These centers, which form the core of the establishment of cities, have changed over time and have altered. Changes and transformations in these centers, which give the city an identity, continue regardless of the historical value of the place. As a protection issue in this article; the problems brought by the reorganization of historical city centers are discussed. In the article, the changes in the square in the Ulus Historical City Center, the Temple of Augustus, which is a Roman monument, and the Hacı Bayram Mosque, which is an Ottoman Period monument-, are examined.
