Abstract

This study aims to report the Symposium of Tourism and Architecture which held in Antalya on the days of April 28 th and 29 th by the Chamber of Architects of Antalya. The Symposium dealed with the topics of the social, cultural and phsical improvement in tourism. Problems and solutions about preservation, ecology, health, culture issues were considered as well. The researches showed that renovation and transformation of historic buildings are much more inadequate than urban transformation. Therefore these academic researhes with the support of conscious investors will be effective for Antalya as a city of having potential of tourism but not efficent enough. By investigating the local models of history the relationship between tourism and environment will be meaningful.
