Tarsus is a multi-layered settlement having historical importance. The city, which is valued with its different characteristics in different periods of history, gained importance with the textile industry in the last period of the Ottoman Empire. This importance has also been a determining factor in the sociocultural and economic development of the city after the proclamation of the Republic and textile industry became one of the symbols of the city. In recent years, textile industry has lost its function both in the region and in Tarsus. The abandoned industrial structures have been facing the threat of extinction. Today, most of the heritage buildings belonging to the textile industry in Tarsus aren't under protection and some of them have been demolished and new structures have been built instead. The aim of the study is to present the current physical condition and heritage values of Çukurova Industrial Enterprises, which is important in the history of Tarsus and Turkey, but haven’t been taken under protection at site scale. Historical development process of the textile industry in Tarsus is explained with its social and economic meanings, in order to define the place of Çukurova Industrial Enterprises among rapidly demolishing industrial heritage buildings in Tarsus.
