    ACOUSTIC TRANSFORMATION OF ROCK-CUT CAVES INTO PERFORMANCE SPACES
    (European Acoustics Association, EAA, 2023) Şaher, Konca; Saher,K.; Tozoglu,A.E.
    Cappadocia Region in Turkey is a center of attention as a tourism destination with its rock-cut caves, some of which are being used as performance spaces for concerts, festivals and local entertainment activities. However, these spaces are not fully investigated for their acoustic performance before being transformed into performance venues. This paper reports on the findings of an initial survey which presents a systematic mapping of the rock-cut caves used as performance spaces to locate, explore and document a sample of structures scattered in this historic district. A typological classification based on volume, size, type of tuff rock material and historical original use has been proposed and an acoustic analysis of some selected rock-cut caves has been carried out. The acoustic analysis included reverberation time calculations and simulations based on apparent volume, and tuff stone absorption characteristics, which were studied by other researchers in the area. © 2023 Aslan et al.

    INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS AMONG SCHOOLS AS A FOLLOW-UP OF THE INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF SOUND
    (Society of Acoustics, 2024) Şaher, Konca; Bartalucci,C.; Macchie,S.D.; Pedrero,A.; Saher,K.
    In this paper, moving from the successful initiatives connected to the International Year of Sound and a solid international collaboration developed during the past ten years in the frame of INAD, the International Noise Awareness days, the authors present a new project that involves schools from Italy, Spain and Turkey together with the three National Acoustical Societies. The project regards education in acoustics at schools and co-design of silent solutions has been object of an application for grants under the call Erasmus KA220-SCH - cooperation partnerships in school education. © 2024 Proceedings of the International Congress on Sound and Vibration.
