Examining the traditional Turkish house in terms of sustainability

Abstract

Preserving our national cultural heritage and transferring it to future generations in a healthy way is necessary for historical continuity. Our traditional houses, which are the most important part of our cultural heritage, must be protected because they document the richness of living culture and the technical level reached in the past. In our country, the Turkish house is a treasure that contains the endless riches of our National Culture. However, since these structures are suitable for the conditions of the period in which they were built, they cannot adequately meet the changing needs of today's people. For this reason, instead of eliminating traditional houses as cultural assets, ways to rehabilitate them and use them should be sought.
