Goals To transfer the concept, content and scope of the Historic Environment to the students, to present national and international laws and regulations that can be used in Landscape Architecture to create new living spaces by protecting the Historic Environment.
Course Content First, the question of what the historical environment is and what it encompasses is addressed. Following this, national and international institutions and laws that protect, regulate, and repurpose the historical environment are introduced. In the subsequent process, evaluations are made regarding the emergence and development of the idea of cultural heritage preservation. To facilitate better understanding of the lessons, a course is offered in the archaeology laboratory that intertwines theory and practice, addressing questions such as "What is archaeology?" and "How does the knowledge production process work?" with archaeological assemblage. Finally, a visit to Konuralp is conducted, where archaeological sites, urban conservation areas, and traditional architectural remains are examined, reinforcing the lessons with insights from the field.

- Distinguishing the importance of the historical environment from the perspective of Landscape Architecture.
