Tek başına Arcade de denebilir. Bizim klasik anlamda Pasaj, İşhanını en çok karşılayan kelime (shopping) Arcade'dir.

agree  Emre Demirtas: Sadece "arcade" en uygunu bence. Rehberlik dönemimde aynen bu şekilde kullanıyordum. Zira dilenirse iş yeri ve atölye anlamını da karşılıyor. Üstelik antik agora kavramının biraz daha moderni.

I didn't see "iş han," in the question, just han . If it is "iş han" then my suggestion would be wrong.

disagree  Mehmet Ali Bahıt: Indeed, but in this context, "han" is actually "iş hanı", the old equivalent of an office block or commercial complex. Eminönü is a commercial district and has a lot of them.

agree  Metin Demirel: Initially, these hans were built to serve the travelling merchants for accomodation, not for shopping. http://www.turkishhan.org/definition.htm

agree  Salih YILDIRIM: Uygun bir tanım
5 hrs
  -> Teşekkürler Salih Bey
disagree  Emre Demirtas: Aziz bey, bu hanların epey bir kısmı atöyle olarak kullanılagelmiş. Örneğin Kapalı Çarşıda atılan malların büyük kısmı bu gibi hanlarda üretilir. Dolayısıyla, mesela Beşiktaş gibi semtlerdeki iş hanlarından farklıdır Eminönü bölgesi hanları.

  -> Tarihi Eminönü iş hanları için Shopping Arcade gibi bir ifade çok modern kalıyor bence... ama fikirler her zaman tartışılabilir
