Abstract

The rehabilitation efforts in Turkey stand on functional differences based on economic benefits. Nevertheless, this approach treats the original characteristics of cultural heritage zones as they are mostly used like theatrical sceneries serving to changing functions. Moreover, the social and cultural aspects are neglected, forcing the unacceptable social change, the gentrification. This process is observed in Ankara-Hamamönü which has been a physical and social deprivation area, a focus of crime before rehabilitation and restoration. The area will be examined and the conclusions covering the latest situation of the past users dispersed in the city, will be given in the paper.
