How heritage is preserved and transmitted to future is heavily dependent on the
responsible awareness of its local society. Transformations in a historic urban
landscape (HUL) are intervening into its collective memory, affecting its social
sustainability and resilience. This paper considers two of these cases from the historic
district of Ankara, namely Hacıbayram Square and Hergelen Square, to see whether
the demographic changes in the society has a similar consequence on the public
awareness of the historicity and heritage values of their sites. The first case, which is
a cult site of heritage, history, and religion, was previously studied. This paper
explains the study for the second case, Hergelen (İtfaiye) Square with a more recent
historical significance, and interprets the outcomes of the two studies tieh their
differing and common aspects. Hergelen Square has been exposed to a series of
demolitions, two of which are the foci of this work: the Bank of Municipalities
building, a heritage monument from the early republican era of Turkey, and Otto
Herbert Hajek’s sculpture. The questionnaire outcomes of both independent surveys
demonstrated that as the educational level of the participants decreased the
admiration for the transformative interventions increased. However, being identified
with different priorities and functions, the case of Hergelen Square, when considered
with its past and former intervertions that it has been exhausted to, implicated further
insights about the problem of integrity of the HUL of Ankara.
