Özet:

 The Industrial Revolution not only led to profound changes in social, economic, and technological fields but also transformed production areas into an integral part of urban infrastructure. By the mid-20th century, these areas, which had evolved with changes in production methods, had gradually become abandoned and unused. Initially, these areas, particularly the complex historic industrial zones in cities, were seen as unhealthy and dangerous. However, over time, they were internationally recognized as industrial heritage. Since the 1970s, the developing concept of conservation has increasingly emphasized the transformation and active reuse of these areas, highlighting their spatial potential within urban settings. In Europe, where industrialization was intensely experienced and such derelict areas are prevalent, the reuse of this type of heritage often includes transformations into museums, recreational areas, exhibition spaces, educational facilities, residential areas, and commercial zones. The fundamental principle considered during these transformations is to restore the original activity of these areas, which were specifically designed to serve industrial functions in the past, by adapting them to meet the contemporary needs of society and cities with a completely new spatial identity and modern living standards. On the other hand, preserving the authenticity and integrity of cultural heritage sites, ensuring their values are passed on to future generations, is another key principle in the reuse of historic industrial areas. This study focuses on two main principles in the transformation of urban historic industrial areas: adapting the spaces to contemporary life and maintaining heritage conservation. It examines the balance and orientations created between these two different parameters. Within this scope, research and analysis are conducted on two industrial urban areas that have been transformed into active urban spaces: Manufaktura in Poland and Ex-Mattatoio in Italy.

 Sanayi Devrimi, yalnızca sosyal, ekonomik ve teknolojik alanlarda derin değişikliklere yol açmakla kalmamış, aynı zamanda üretim alanlarını kentsel altyapının ayrılmaz bir parçası haline dönüştürmüştür. 20. yüzyılın ortalarına gelindiğinde, üretim yöntemlerindeki değişikliklerle evrilen bu alanlar, giderek terk edilmiş ve kullanılmayan bir hal almışlardır. Başlangıçta, özellikle şehirlerdeki karmaşık tarihi endüstriyel bölgelerde sağlıksız ve tehlikeli olarak görülen bu alanlar, süreç içerisinde uluslararası anlamda endüstriyel miras olarak kabul görmüş ve bu bağlamda 1970lerden beri gelişim içerisinde olan koruma anlayışı, günümüze yaklaşıldığında bu alanların öncelikle dönüştürülerek aktif olarak yeniden kullanımını vurgulayarak, kent içerisindeki mekansal potansiyellerinin ortaya çıkarılmasını desteklemiştir. Endüstrileşmenin yoğun olarak yaşanmış olduğu ve bu kentlerde buna yönelik atıl alanların yoğunlukta olduğu Avrupada, bu miras türünün yeniden kullanım uygulamaları incelendiğinde, genellikle müzeler, rekreasyon alanları, sergi alanları, eğitim, konut ve ticaret bölgelerine dönüşüm sağlandığı söylenebilir. Bu dönüşümlerin gerçekleşmesi sırasında göz önünde bulundurulan temel prensip, geçmiş bir zamanda sanayileşmeye aktif şekilde hizmet etmek üzere spesifik işlevlere ev sahipliği yapması amacıyla oluşturulan alanları; günümüz toplum ve kent ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda, tamamen başka bir mekansal kimlikle ve çağdaş yaşam standartlarıyla uyumlu şekilde eski aktifliğini geri kazandırmaktır. Öte yandan, kültürel miras alanlarının korunmasında temel bir yaklaşım olarak ifade edilebilecek özgünlüğün ve bütünlüğün korunarak miras değerlerinin gelecek nesillere aktarılması olgusu da tarihi endüstriyel alanların yeniden kullanımında bir diğer bir prensip olarak kabul edilebilir. Bu noktada, çalışmada, kentsel tarihi endüstri alanlarının dönüşümünde, mekanları çağdaş yaşama uyarlama ve miras sürdürmeye yönelik iki temel prensibi konu edinmekte ve bu iki farklı parametre arasında yaratılması söz konusu olan denge ve yönelimleri incelemeye almaktadır. Bu kapsamda, aktif kentsel alanlara dönüştürülmüş olan Manufaktura Polonya ve Ex-Mattatoio İtalya gibi iki endüstriyel kentsel alan üzerinden araştırma yapılmakta ve çıkarımlarda bulunulmaktadır.
