    Tourism-Led Adaptive Reuse of the Built Vernacular Heritage: a Critical Assessment of the Transformation of Historic Neighbourhoods in Cappadocia, Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Buke, Fatma Gul Ozturk; Öztürk Büke, Fatma Gül
    Since the last quarter of the twentieth century, increased tourism in traditional settlements have led to the adaptive reuse of built vernacular heritage to serve the tourism industry. The adaptive reuse of historic buildings is considered a conservation strategy and an alternative to new constructions in historic environments. Nevertheless, the adaptive reuse of built vernacular heritage and its socio-spatial impacts have not yet been sufficiently investigated. To fill the gap, this paper, focuses on Cappadocia, Turkey, where adaptive reuse of individual vernacular houses has recently paved the way for the transformation of an entire neighbourhood, the historic neighbourhood of Kayakapi, into a 'holiday village.' This study argues that traditional settlements and communities in Cappadocia have been subjected to 'gentrification' and so-called 'Disneyfication.' Such historic environments are facing controversial physical interventions, detached from local communities and devoted to a single function, namely tourism, becoming 'stereotypical and depersonalised.' The study further argues that the current situation is incompatible with international heritage and conservation policies. Correspondingly, to reveal the potential conflicts, the recent revitalisation project of the historic neighbourhood of Kayakapi in Cappadocia is examined as a case study.

    Understanding Intangible Aspects of Cultural Heritage: the Role of Active Imagination
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Alves, Susana
    Despite an undoubted awareness of the intangible aspects of culture in heritage studies, scholars continue to base their understanding of intangible heritage according to rationalist theories of perception, which accept only a single mode of perception-that which is bound to the empirical, sensorial and terrestrial world. How are we to appropriately value and safeguard practices such as 'shamanic voyages' to the worlds of spirits, engage with the symbolic narratives of creation myths and recognise the significance of religious rituals and mystical experiences, if we do not consider the ways of knowing, being and doing of diverse cultural groups in the first place? A meaningful analysis of intangible dimensions in heritage needs to consider the role and ontological status of human imagination. By drawing on the theory of imagination proposed by Ibn 'Arabi and discussed by Corbin, this paper enquires about the role of imagination in people's perception of intangible heritage. With a view to redress the symbolic function in human perception, the paper concludes by proposing the use of 'active imagination' as a method in heritage management to understand how intangible experiences and values are associated with the physical aspects of heritage.
