Özet: Eskişehir brought industrial production to forefront with the development plans following the proclamation of the Republic. The Factories Region was established in this period. Because many quarters occurred around the region, factories were stuck between settlements and lost their effectiveness as a result of increasing technology and were closed one by one. At this point some of the factory buildings were demolished, some buildings were preserved and began to be utilized for different services and some of them have been struggling with time. When factories are considered in terms of their value with regards to industrial heritage, they stand out in terms of both national value and social memory. Concerning the protection of this memory and identity, refunctioning has a vital role. By this means the wasting of the structures having lost their functions can be prevented. In this study the significance of the industrial heritage left by Eskişehir Factories Region was emphasized and its value in terms of the city identity tried to be revealed. In the research process data were gathered by conducting interviews with related actors. These data were utilized to offer suggestions regarding the transfer of industrial heritage to the future.
