Abstract

The recognition of cities is often provided with symbolic items. These symbols are sometimes chosen from the historical and cultural resources of the place, and sometimes from the natural and human characteristics. In the scope of this study, it was aimed to present the identity of Sille, which has become an important attraction, historical focus and alternate tourism site for the province of Konya, with images, symbols and urban furniture. While Sille city identity is examined, it is aimed to focus on the historical urban identity of the region. In this context, it was tried to draw attention to the region with its characteristics of possessing a historical legacy and past on “History Told: Sille/Konya” design competitions in the study. In this sense, two competitions were announced in scope of the study under the title of “History Told: Sille/Konya.” Each competitions had own different stages. When we look at the overall outcome of the competitions, it is clear that Sille's natural and human characteristics are at the foreground, and that each of the products feels natural and cultural values unique to Sille. And it is expected that the analyses that arose under the study will provide useful ideas for the development of Sille urban identity and direct attention to the region.
