Impact of Social Networks in Historical Urban Landscaping Areas: Safranbolu

Social media, particularly platforms like Flickr, plays a significant role in enhancing the perception and protection of heritage values within historical urban landscapes. This study demonstrates that social media not only engages users with cultural heritage but also provides valuable data for analytical research, contributing to the preservation and management of UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Safranbolu. By analyzing location-based data, photographs, and tags from Flickr over several years, researchers identified how these platforms reflect universal value definitions of heritage and foster protection awareness among visitors. The findings highlight the potential of social media to actively involve users in the historical urban landscape, offering new avenues for heritage conservation and planning.
