The treatment of relocation is always questionable not only because of the theoretical background and methods used but also because it is a force majeure intervention. Considered inappropriate by heritage professionals since the primary task of monument conservation is in situ prevention, there is a need for a better understanding of what relocation means, when it is allowed, how it should be done, and the criteria to determine how and which monuments qualify to be preserved. This paper reviews the aspects of material and structural authenticity when relocating Arslanagić Bridge, the connection with the historical context, and existing charters and terminology. In addition, it aims to contribute to a broader theoretical understanding of relocation. Two types of damage are inflicted on the monument during the relocation; one is that the monument is extracted from the environment in which it originated, and the historical continuity is broken, and the other is from the method of relocation. In the case of the bridge, maintaining a physical appearance becomes more important than material authenticity. During reassembly, the internal cohesiveness was violently disturbed, damaging the integrity of the infill at the structural level by introducing concrete. At the new location, it is articulating as a new element, a new historical layer in a new environmental context.

Keywords: Arslanagić, bridge; charters; reconstruction; relocation; Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

Yerde�i�tirme yakla��m�, sadece teorik altyap� ve kullan�lan y�ntemler nedeniyle de�il, zorunlu bir m�dahale olmas� nedeniyle de her zaman sorgulanabilir. An�t koruman�n birincil g�revi yerinde koruma oldu�undan dolay� koruma uzmanlar� taraf�ndan uygun g�r�lmedi�i i�in, yer de�i�tirmenin ne anlama geldi�inin daha iyi anla��lmas�na ihtiya� vard�r. Ne zaman izin verilmelidir? Nas�l yap�lmal�d�r? Hangi an�tlar�n nas�l korunmaya uygun oldu�unu belirleyen kriterler neler olmal�d�r?
Bu makale, Arslanagić K�pr�s�'n�n yer de�i�titilmesi s�ras�nda, malzeme ve yap�sal �zg�nl�k unsurlar�n�, tarihsel ba�lamla olan ba�lant�y� ve mevcut karakterler ve terminolojiyi incelemektedir. Ek olarak, yer de�i�tirmenin daha geni� bir teorik anlay��na katk�da bulunmay� ama�lamaktad�r.
Ta��nma s�ras�nda an�tta iki t�r hasar meydana gelmektedir; biri an�t�n ��kt�� ortamdan kopar�larak tarihsel devaml�l��n�n bozulmas�, di�eri ise yer de�i�tirme y�ntemidir. K�pr� s�z konusu oldu�unda, fiziksel bir g�r�n�m�n korunmas�, malzeme �zg�nl��nden daha �nemli hale gelir. Yeniden in�a s�ras�nda, i� kohezyon �iddetli bir �ekilde bozuldu ve betonun girmesiyle dolgunun yap�sal seviyedeki b�t�nl�� zarar g�rd�. Yeni yerinde; yeni bir unsur, yeni bir �evresel ba�lamda yeni bir tarihsel katman olarak eklemleniyor.
