dc.description.abstract | Historical artefacts, monuments and buildings are an integral part of the socio-cultural, architectural and aesthetic features of the past civilizations. Cultural heritage, which is accepted as the common property of humanity, reflects the feelings and thoughts of civilizations that have lived from past to present. Fountains that are an integral part of the historical and cultural environment of a city are one of the most outstanding structures, as they are built to reflect the architectural and socio-cultural characteristics of the city. They are considered to be a bridge between the past and the future, and thus it is extremely important to ensure their sustainability as well as their preservation. The aim of this study was to document the historical fountains found in the city center of Nigde within the Cappadocia Region, create a report on these structures and draw attention to the issues regarding their preservation. For this purpose, a total of 13 fountains which are located in the center of Nigde were examined. The material and construction techniques and typologies of these fountains were determined and finally their physical conditions and reasons for their deterioration were investigated. In general, among the reasons for the deterioration of the fountains were found to be longterm natural and human effects. Preserving these fountains which are in danger of destruction and loss of function is a must in order to transfer such historical and cultural assets to the future. From this point of view, it is considered that this study will contribute greatly to future preservation and restoration works on these historical fountains which once served for a substantial social need of urban life. | |
