Özet

Non-destructive geophysical surveys exploring depths from a few tens of centimeters to several meters are described as near-surface geophysics. Geophysical surveys for the protection of cultural heritage, geophysical surveys for restoration, archaeological geophysical surveys are examples of near-surface geophysical surveys. The data obtained by archaeological geophysical surveys provide valuable contributions to the discovery of cultural heritage) remains underground and their inclusion in today's urban planning process. Two of the Ottoman period buildings in Edirne, the Macedonian campus and the Sarayici campus were selected as sample sites for geophysical surveys. Both settlements are important settlements that are actively used within the urban area today. Therefore, the unearthing of the underground archaeological remains of these settlements constitutes an important database in the design of the site's settlement plan. High-resolution Geophysical applications were carried out as underlining the design of both the Macedonian campus and the Sarayici campus. In the Macedonia campus garden as often as possible at intervals of 1m in line with the campus electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) when determining the underground ruins of the Ottoman period by applying, in the Sarayici campus georadar (GPR) with 500 MHz shielded antenna using parallel profiles 1m spaced at 5 cm intervals on method 20.000 m(2) was investigated. There are areas that have been identified with this information but have not yet been uncovered by archaeological excavations. These areas will be included in the planning process and the cultural and historical heritage of the city will be preserved and transferred to future generations.
