The
heritage of a city is the essential element of urban culture and identity with
their authentic qualities. The social and cultural values of the registered
heritage are expected to be agreed on without any consideration or
argumentation. On the other hand, these values are under the direct influence
of urban development and construction sector because they, at the same time,
are the economic properties together with ownership rights. In this respect,
the relationship between social value and economic value becomes an important
parameter in achieving the goal of urban conservation action. In order to
obtain successful results in conservation a consensus on the social and
cultural value of the heritage is mandatory among all actors. However,
considering our experiences it is seen that the heritage registration and
conservation status create a negative perception for historic buildings or
areas in economic manner. This paper aims to compare the economic value changes
of the real estates that are positioned inside and outside of the Talas (Kayseri)
urban conservation area between 2012 and 2019. The plots that are not
registered as heritage in urban conservation area and the plots take place in
rapidly urbanised parts of Talas outside of the conservation area are valuated
and compared according to inflation, euro and hedonic hosing price index
ratios. The paper argues the rapid rent transformation experienced in urbanization
process in Talas and changes in the values of real estates in urban
conservation area by using the official figures realised in capital market
conditions.
