Abstract:

 This research focuses on the preservation and adaptive reuse of historic structures. It emphasizes the importance of conserving cultural and historical heritage, suggesting that assigning new functions to these buildings contributes to sustainability. The study progresses through successful examples of adaptive reuse of historical buildings acquired by the Kadıköy Municipality, addressing spatial, cultural, and legal dimensions. It underscores the importance of preserving the architectural characteristics, spatial organizations, and surroundings of these buildings when assigning new functions. The research advocates for minimal intervention principles in adaptive reuse projects, ensuring the historical and cultural values of the buildings are considered. Furthermore, it highlights that these projects should not only focus on physical restoration but also foster social and cultural interaction. Adaptive reuse projects in the Kadıköy region have been developed in line with these principles, creating active and functional spaces that respond to community needs. These projects successfully demonstrate how the preservation and active use of historical buildings can contribute to regional and cultural sustainability. Finally, the research addresses the challenges encountered in the preservation and adaptive reuse of historical buildings in Turkey, discussing legal, economic, and technical issues, and offers suggestions for effective strategies in this field. The aim is to increase awareness and develop efficient strategies for the preservation of Turkeys historical structures.
