It has strategic importance since it has controlled trade routes since ancient times. Bitlis houses, built with smooth cut stone and flat earthen roofs, have a unique architectural understanding. The houses are built in such a way so as not to obstruct each other's views. In the process, the interventions that were not suitable for the traditional texture caused the deterioration of the urban texture. This study aims to identify the conservation problems of the civil architectural examples that make up the traditional texture in the city center of Bitlis and to develop suggestions for conservation and reuse. In the study, the situation determined by the conserva-tion-purpose zoning plan analyses made in 1998 to preserve the traditional texture of the Bitlis city center and the current situation were compared, and the preservation problems of the traditional texture were determined. It has been observed that the basis of the protection problems are the negative interventions of the users on the buildings for various reasons, economic insuf-ficiencies, unconsciousness, and the decision makers not taking precautions in a timely manner. As a result, conservation and reuse proposals have been developed to preserve the traditional residential fabric.","PeriodicalId":182201,"journal":{"name":"PLANARCH - Design and Planning Research","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127505883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In terms of evaluating the applications in recent years, it is important to analyze the knowledge and experience in the field, if there are, to reveal the problems and to develop solutions. In the study, the socio-economic characteristics of balloon tours, the risks of accidents, and the ways of structuring the competition in this field in a healthy way have been investigated. A field-assisted SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis was performed in the study. The findings of the study are that the risks caused by the increasing competition in balloon tours, which is a rapidly growing type of adventure tourism, can be improved with area management and inspection approaches. Compared to other alterna-tive tourism types that have developed in the world and in our country in recent years, balloon tours have reached an important point with the effect of attracting tourists and the added value it creates. However, it had been lived a past period that there are deficiencies in the theoretical and practical infrastructure for balloon tour planning in Turkey. The contribution of the study is to identify these deficiencies and open them up for discussion and to prevent them through site management and control. The conclusion of the study, keeping the accident risks under control with the approach of site management and inspection, is brought to the fore.","PeriodicalId":182201,"journal":{"name":"PLANARCH - Design and Planning Research","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126536722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
