Cultural Heritage Conservation and Culture-Led Tourism Conflict Within the Historic Site in Beyoğlu, Istanbul

A critical review of Istanbul's Beyoğlu conservation master plan reveals significant conflicts between cultural heritage preservation and culture-led tourism, leading to negative impacts on tangible and intangible heritage, public space, and urban regeneration. The study, framed within Turkey's conservation legislation and ICOMOS decisions, identifies key issues such as fragmented planning boundaries, reconstruction of historic buildings, car-oriented transport designs, and the commercialization of cultural functions. These findings underscore the need for a more holistic approach to balance heritage conservation with sustainable tourism development.
