Résumé en anglais

Istanbul has been established in a very special geography where the continents of Europe and Asia merge. It has the Historical Peninsula, Golden Horn, Galata, Beyoglu and Bosphorus sub-regions which are the natural and cultural heritage areas in Istanbul. Since 1970s, these cultural landscapes had been attempted to be conserved through some special status and rules. However, Istanbul has been an attractive center for economic investment in everyperiod. These cultural landscape areas had been under the pressures and threats of changes and transformations as much as the whole of the city. Bosphorus area which will be investigated in this study, had become face to face with the danger of losing her identity and spirit, despite being declared as a “natural and historical conservation area”, being planned as a “conservation area”, and also being controlled by “special legal measures”. The aim of this paperis to explain the threats on the Bosphorus’ spirit as well as proposals for reducing of them.
