Orta ve Küçük Kentlerde Endüstri Mirasını Koruma: Silivri “Varnalı Yağ Fabrikası”

Abstract

Structures that are subject to conservation and reuse as the industrial heritage in Turkey are manly those industrial buildings abandoned in the big cities from the 19th century in Ottoman period and which were registered as a cultural historical monuments. Undoubtedly, as the importance of preserving the cultural heritage for urban economic and social development emerges, the number of the historical production structures of the past in urban and rural areas that have not been registered yet will also increase. Though, many artifacts in small and medium-sized cities have been registered as cultural assets to be protected on the basis of the Resolutions of the Regional Protection Council within the scope of Law No. 2863. However, many of the industrial production structures that have been registered or not yet registered have been inactive for various reasons. As these structures are not reused, they are worn out and remain under the spatial changes of the city they are located in. In this study, it is aimed to cause the acceptance of the Varnalı Oil Factory from the beginning of the 20th Century, which is located in the city center of the Silivri County.
