Summary:

      Fast groving urban environments, and improper urbanization are effecting the hictoric architectural environments. Proposed new streets (boulevards) in urban plans are effecting negatively the historic and urban environments: for instance, demolishing of existing important buildings and facades, causing the lose of the district and urban identity. Therefore, environmental impacts of urban plans must be put forward before application of urban plan (even before approval of the plan).

For this purpose, the urban planners must inform public for the proposed plan by using the visual materials in order to put forward the gaings and loses of the city as whole.

      

In this study, while planning, what kind of criterias, what kind of approaches and how environmental factors (historic anvironment, urban pattern) effect design, etc. should planners take into consideration while planning. Some districts near 'Tanjant Yol' (a large boulevard passing through the historic Trabzon city) are chosen for case study.

      

This thesis consists of four chapters. The first chapter includes the purpose of the study, the contents, urban identity, environmental impact analysis, visual impact analysis and information about Trabzon. The second chapter includes the selection of the case district, research techniques for this study. In the third chapter, there is discussion of the gains the loses of the proposed Boulevard (Tanjant Yol); and results are presented by visual analysis tables. The fourth chapter gives the results of this study from preservation, practice, identity and visual impact analysis point of view; and some proposals are included for future researchers.
