“…The products revealed as a consequence of a design concept based on the past are actually entirely and completely new and different designs. This situation that can be defined as the present interpretation of the past has also been expressed by Van Dijk and Weitkamp, (2018), and it was stated that the places actually have many past memories and the choice of which to preserve and emphasize on is a normative decision accordingly. In fact, it has been stated that this does not refer to conservation and preservation but creation.…”

“…"The built environment is just one of the factors for communities to feel rooted in a location and to construct a local identity with values and meanings attached to place, and social capital ICONARP -Volume 11, Issue 1 / Published: 27.06.2023 may be even more important, but urban design which is respectful toward the past can help. (Van Dijk & Weitkamp, 2018)." For this reason, concepts such as the past, memory, cultural heritage, and conservation frequently come to the fore in the urban outdoor landscape designs and research thereof.…”

In this study, how landscape architecture students associate the traces of the past of a given site with their conceptual approaches and spatial components in the design process is discussed. Karagöz Square, located in the city center of Trabzon, has undergone dramatic and mostly negative changes from the past to the present in functional, visual and semantic terms. the area which is under urban transformation process in order to revitalize, to make it a part of urban life and in this context to regain its old functions has been given to students as the subject of design within the scope of Environmental Design Project IV course. Within the scope of this paper, how students investigated the past of design area and physical and social dimensions of collective memory, how they reflected on their conceptual approaches and main design decisions, and then through which spatial components and usage types these decisions were reflected on projects are determined and explained. In a design group of 9 students, 5 designs, conceptual approaches of which were based on the history of the city and the design area and traces left in collective memory were discussed in detail. As a result of the content analysis of the presentations and reports of the students it was determined that some students were inspired by the past functional (such as socialization) and semantic dimensions of the area (such as entertainment and play) or the physical components of the area (such as olive trees, amusement park-entertainment equipment). The other students were inspired by the historical features of the city of Trabzon (the empires of the past) or the traces of cultural features in the society such as Trabzonspor and determined their design approaches based on these. In line with these, spatial components and usage types-activities in the final products are detailed in this study. How collective memory can be a tool for determining conceptual approaches in landscape design is also discussed.

The old town area gives a significant character on urban heritage, in particular regarding Kota Pusaka programme in Indonesia. While enhancing the character, in this case, part of Siak Sri Indrapura City has burned out, and raise serious issues to the local government due to lack of written data on how to reconstruct the area. In this case, extracting field data by conventional measurement from remaining buildings found ineffective. Not only consume time, but these methods have also created social and psychological problems for local people. Therefore various indirect field methods such as desktop research, digitising, and documentation are needed to be completed by more fast and interactive direct field methods. This paper confirms that field data which compiled by various field methods can more contribute to reconstructing the character of the old town.
