Abstract: Abandoned quarries are valuable as a tourism
element, as they exhibit the building material of the
buildings built in the geographical area they are located
in as historical objects. However, in order to determine
how the quarries can be used for tourism purposes, it is
necessary to determine the constraints on the choice of
solution in spatial arrangements. The aim of this study is
to investigate how the ancient limestone quarry of Mardin,
which is a natural and cultural geological heritage, can be
used for tourism and to develop suggestions. Within the
scope of the study, in order to examine the possibilities of
how an idle quarry located in Mardin province in Turkey
can be used for tourism, the constraints in the selection of
the post-use solution will be determined. In order to determine whether the Mardin quarry is accessible and safe to
visit, various field studies were carried out in the study
area, laboratory experiments and analyses. The caves
were scanned with a 3D laser scanner, and its plans and
sections were obtained. The findings were evaluated and
suggestions were developed for the use of the ancient
limestone quarry for tourism.
