The squares, which form the public open spaces, have been important meeting centers in the social lives of people. City furniture are the important elements in these public open spaces, reflecting the identity of the city and improving quality of life. City furniture improve the reflection of cultural value in historical city textures and their usability. The walled city center, where the historical city texture of Nicosia lies, has a very rich historical texture with the cultural heritage of various civilizations in the history of Cyprus. Public open spaces within the texture, which have acquired the quality of squares with their functions throughout the social history of Nicosia, are still important social spaces for the people of the city. This study analyzed Asmaaltı and Selimiye Squares, two important spaces of the walled city, through examining the city furniture in terms of their material, shape, and functionality, and their conformity with the historical texture. Their deficiencies and nonconformities with the historical texture were identified accordingly. In consideration with such examples, city furniture in historical city textures were assessed for their conformity with the texture characteristics, architectural styles, social, cultural, and economical characteristics, and relevant recommendations are presented respectively.

Kamusal açık alanları oluşturan meydanlar, insanların sosyal yaşamlarında önemli buluşma merkezleri olmuştur. Kent mobilyaları bu kamusal açık alanlarda kentin kimliğini yansıtan ve yaşam kalitesini artıran önemli unsurlardır. Kent mobilyaları, kültürel değerlerin tarihi kent dokularına yansımasını ve kullanılabilirliğini artırır. Lefkoşa'nın tarihi kent dokusunun yattığı Suriçi kent merkezi, Kıbrıs tarihindeki çeşitli uygarlıkların kültürel mirası ile oldukça zengin bir tarihi dokuya sahiptir. Doku içinde kamusal açık alanlar, Lefkoşa'nın sosyal tarihi boyunca işlevleriyle meydan niteliği kazanan meydanlar, kent insanı için halen önemli sosyal mekanlardır. Bu çalışmada, Suriçi kentin iki önemli mekanı olan Asmaaltı ve Selimiye Meydanları, kent mobilyaları malzeme, biçim, işlevsellik ve tarihi...

It presents an important example of historical street texture of the neighborhood with its cultural heritage buildings. The creation of the historical texture of the street began with a two-floor house of Traditional Turkish House, built there during the Ottoman Period (1571-1878). The development of the street texture was completed to a great extent during the British Period (1878-1960) with the building of single and two-floor houses, first with the characteristics of Turkish Architecture, and later with the architectural influences of the period. During the Republic of Cyprus period and the years following that, during which intercommunal political problems and migrations occurred, no change or development was observed in the street texture; however, the demographic structure of the street changed. Works for the preservation of the historical texture of Dervish Pasha Street began in the period of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (1983-...) and initially the street was pedestrianized and the facades of the buildings were restored. Also, the TRNC Office of Antiquities and Museums carried out an inventory work and a list of buildings was prepared. Most of the historical houses of the Dervish Pasha Street texture are being used as dwellings, and three of those buildings are being used for cultural and artistic functions.

The first examples of garden styles in history were shaped with the effects of religious, philosophical, and mythological ideas. As in all branches of fine arts, garden art is nurtured by historical insights of style, and the reflections of cultural heritages are visible in all the designs that appear.

One of the most important elements in historical urban textures, bringing dwellers with nature, and giving life to the city, are landscape spaces. The capital of Cyprus, Nicosia, also has a very rich historical texture. Within this context, the aim of this study is to examine the landscape of the historical urban texture of Nicosia from the past to the present, within the whole of various cultural periods including the present day status. Therefore, the development of Nicosia through the historical process is given right after the introduction. After the introduction, landscape of walled city of Nicosia was examined through the historical periods: Lusignan Period, Venetian Period, Ottoman Period, British Period, Republic of Cyprus Period, and the present day period, TRNC Period.

Open green areas provide direct or indirect benefits for the city in ecological, social, economic and cultural dimensions. The need for open green spaces is also noticeable for the urban areas of Northern Cyprus. Such that, especially in the last two decades, cities have been constructed rapidly, but this process has occurred without fulfilling sustainable urban planning principles. However, as we face with global warming and climate change, sustainable planning and design has been a key concept of the 21st centuryt. In this framework, in this study, Caglayan Park, an important park of the capital north Nicosia, was evaluated.The satisfaction level and opinions of the park users on different issues related to the park were investigated through the survey study. Following the literature review in which the green space concept and urban parks are examined, ...

Showing a development through the historical process, these spaces reach the present as a cultural mosaic, and have an important effect on the identity that cities possess. As the most important component of historical textures, green spaces bring together textures with nature, and give life to them. Preserving historical textures together with urban landscape with correct planning policies is of great importance for their sustainability and survival into the future. Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, has possessed a very rich historical texture with the cultural heritages from the periods of past civilizations. The historical texture in the walled city, which is in a central position, could not preserve the rich landscape in its past, and reached the present almost deprived of green. In our study, Yigitler Bastion Park, a green area, which is an important green area in the historical city texture o...

Açık yeşil alanların kent için ekolojik, sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel boyutlarda, doğrudan veya dolaylı fayda sağlarlar. Kuzey Kıbrıs kentsel çevrelerinin de açık yeşil alan gereksinimi göze çarpmaktadır. Çünkü ülkede kentler özellikle son yirmi yılda hızla yapılaşmış fakat bu süreç sürdürülebilir kent planlama ilkeleriyle örtüşmeksizin yaşanmıştır. Oysaki sürdürülebilir planlama ve tasarım, küresel ısınma ve iklim değişikliği sorunuyla yüzleştiğimiz 21. Yüzyılda anahtar bir kavramdır. Bu çerçevede, çalışma kapsamında başkent Lefkoşa'nın önemli bir parkı olan Çağlayan Parkı ele alınmıştır. Park kullanıcılarının, işlev alanları, kent mobilyaları ve yenileme çalışmaları gibi birçok husustaki memnuniyet düzeyi ve görüşleri ile parkı kullanım sıklığı vb konular, yapılan anket çalışması aracılığıyla araştırılmıştır. Yeşil alan kavramı ile kent parklarının irdelendiği literatür taramasının ardından, materyal ve yöntem bölümünde, çalışma alanı olarak Lefkoşa ve Çağlayan Parkı değerlendirilmiştir. Aynı bölümde, 50 katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilen anket çalışmasının bulgularına da yer verilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre kullanıcılar parkın aktivite alanları ve bakım gibi hususlarda iyileştirilmesi gerektiğini belirtmiştir.Bu bağlamda söylenebilir ki parka dair memnuniyet yüksek olmamasına rağmen kullanılmaktadır. Anket çalışmasındaki bulgular, gerek Çağlayan Parkı'nın gerekse de kentteki mevcut diğer yeşil alanların nitelik ve nicelik olarak iyileştirilmesi gerektiğine işaret etmektedir.

Tarihi süreç içerisinde gelişim gösteren bu alanlar, bir kültür mozaiği olarak günümüze ulaşmakta, kentlerin sahip olukları kimlik üzerinde önemli bir etki yaratmaktadırlar. Tarihi dokuların en önemli bileşeni olan yeşil alanlar ise dokuları doğayla buluşturup, yaşam katmaktadırlar. Tarihi dokuların kentsel peyzaj ile birlikte doğru planlama politikaları doğrultusunda korunmaları, sürdürülebilirlikleri ve geleceğe taşınabilmeleri için büyük önem arz etmektedir. Kıbrıs'ın başkenti Lefkoşa da tarihi geçmişindeki uygarlıklar dönemlerine ait kültür mirasları ile çok zengin bir tarihi dokuya sahip olmuştur. Kentin merkezi durumundaki suriçinde yer alan tarihi doku, tarihindeki zengin peyzajını koruyamamış, günümüze neredeyse yeşilden yoksun bir şekilde ulaşmıştır. Çalışmamızda, kuzey Lefkoşa suriçi tarihi kent dokusunda tek kentsel park niteliğiyle önemli bir yeşil alan olan Yiğitler Burcu Parkı konu edilmiş ve parkın oluşumu ile günümüzdeki durumu literatür taraması, yerinde gözlemler ve park çevresinde ikamet eden kişiler ile görüşmeler yapılarak irdelenmiştir. Parkın günümüzdeki durumuna dair sorunların ortaya konması sonucunda kullanılabilirliğini artırmaya ve korunmasına yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
