Although housing rehabilitation, which is certainly the most 
important evidence of gentrification improves the city’ s 
physical healthy by fore stalling further decay of the housing 
stock. This project was not influential in the surrounding areas 
yet. Since it was not well understood by the public due to lack 
of participation and lack of education. 
Implementation of the project by the cooperation public and 
private investors and provision of participation may increase the 
impact and success of the revitalization of the street as it is 
observed in other cities of Turkey and other countries. The 
successful projects of other cities of Turkey such Safranbolu 
and Edime, Antalya, Mugla can be example for Ktitahya. 
Thus, it will be possible to stimulate gentrification, to increase 
the amenities of neighborhood, to reveal better the historical 
values of Ktitahya and to conserve its cultural values while its 
commercial life is revitalized. The result of this paper, offer 
important guidance to public policy makers.
