Abstract:Side is an ancient city located in the Pamphylia region in the Eastern Mediterranean. Due to its location, it has been an important stop for maritime trade and transportation between Greece, Cyprus, Syria, Aegean Islands, Phoenicia and Egypt. The city, which has developed commercial activities, is an important visiting point visited by many tourists today. The revitalization studies on the region mostly focus on the architectural elements in the area. It is seen that there is no study on "sound", which is an important part of understanding past. The historical soundscape of Side, which was an important port city in the past, will be evaluated using archaeological finds. Urban life and sounds of the city were investigated in the light of small finds like those that ceramics, sculpture, etc. and architectural remains. In this study, which aims to create an acoustic base to improve today's tourist experience, academic studies on the region were examined and supported by view of the archaeologists. Within the scope of the study, the soundscape of today's experience route of the ancient city was also evaluated, and determinations and evaluations were made on how it could be improved.
