Özet:

 TRACT City squares, which have significant effects on the formation of the morphological structure of cities, are not only physical spaces but also public spaces that carry the traces of the entire social, economic and cultural structure of cities from the past to the present. These public spaces, which have been used for different functions and purposes from ancient times to the present, hold an important place in the city identity and memory as a small example of the stratification of cities. However, in recent years, historical city squares, which have been exposed to urban pressures, have begun to lose their characteristics from the past and their place in the city identity and memory. The aim of this study is to reveal the transformation of Cumhuriyet Square, which dates back to the Roman Period and is located in the historical city center of Kayseri, within the zoning movements and urbanization process that began with the Republic Period. Literature and field studies were conducted for this purpose and aerial photographs of the historical Cumhuriyet Square from previous years were obtained from the General Command of Mapping. With the obtained data, the historical texture of Cumhuriyet Square, its immediate surroundings and its relationship with the city were periodically revealed in the context of both the interventions made with the citys zoning plans and the years in which the population and urbanization movements throughout the country were taken as basis. As a result of the studies, it was seen that many structures belonging to the past were demolished, historical continuity was not provided and traces of urban stratification were erased with the arrangements made in the historical Republic Square. This study will provide information flow for the arrangements to be made in the future in the historical Republic Square, which has an important place in the identity and memory of the city.

 Kentlerin morfolojik yapısının oluşmasında önemli etkileri olan kent meydanları sadece fiziki mekanlar olmayıp kentlerin geçmişten günümüze tüm sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel yapısının izlerini taşıyan kamusal mekanlardır. Antik dönemden günümüze kadar farklı işlev ve amaçlarla kullanılan bu kamusal alanlar kentlerin katmanlaşmasının da küçük bir örneği olarak kent kimliği ve belleğinde önemli yer tutarlar. Ancak son yıllarda kentsel baskılara maruz kalan tarihi kent meydanları geçmişten gelen niteliklerini yitirerek kent kimliği ve belleğindeki yerlerini de kaybetmeye başlamışlardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı da geçmişi Roma Dönemine dayanan ve Kayseri tarihi kent merkezinde bulunan Cumhuriyet Meydanının Cumhuriyet Dönemi ile başlayan imar hareketleri ve kentleşme süreci içerisindeki değişiminin ortaya konulmasıdır. Bu amaca yönelik literatür ve saha çalışması yapılmış ve Harita Genel Komutanlığından tarihi Cumhuriyet Meydanının geçmiş yıllara ait hava fotoğrafları elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerle Cumhuriyet Meydanının tarihsel dokusu, yakın çevresi ve kentle ilişkisi hem kentin imar planları ile meydana yapılan müdahaleler hem de ülke genelindeki nüfus ve kentleşme hareketlerinin esas alındığı yıllar bağlamında dönemsel olarak ortaya konulmuştur. Yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda tarihi Cumhuriyet Meydanında yapılan düzenlemeler ile geçmiş dönemlere ait pek çok yapının yıkıldığı, tarihsel bir süreklilik sağlanamadığı ve kentsel katmanlaşma izlerinin silindiği görülmüştür. Bu çalışma kent kimliği ve belleğinde önemli yeri olan tarihi Cumhuriyet Meydanında gelecekte yapılacak düzenlemelerde bilgi akışı sağlayacaktır.
