Due to the rapid growth and development caused mainly by tourism of Alanya, rural areas are affected, losing their original texture and authentic structures and being exposed to unqualified interventions. The aim of this study is to determine the original features and reveal the value of Alanya rural architecture within the framework of the sustainability principles, and to determine how these values have changed with the unqualified interventions, by detailing qualitatively and quantitatively on the basis of each intervention. Within the scope of the study, the rural architectural heritage in Alanya has been documented in terms of settlement texture, space organization, architectural elements, material, construction and energy efficiency. For the analysis, a rural house that preserves its original values was used. A comparison was made between the values of this house and the values obtained as a result of the changes in the other buildings in the area. In cases where these interventions are applied in various variations, the changes in the heating and cooling load of the house are compared with the CO2 emission. It has been determined that the rural houses of Alanya provide energy conservation in a way that is perfected by tradition, both in terms of settlement features and space and materials on the basis of structure. It has been determined that the heating/cooling energy requirement can decrease but the CO2 emission increases in the individual changes made by evaluating different types of deterioration. When the most common application variations detected in the field are evaluated, it has been determined that both the heating/cooling energy requirement and the CO2 emission have increased. Rural settlements and residences define an architecture that has reached the highest level in terms of convenience, functionality and economy. Since any intervention to these structures means the loss of their energy conservation properties as well as their originality, a very careful decision should be made. The study reveals the first data in which the rural architecture of Alanya is evaluated within the scope of sustainability and energy and CO2 emissions are compared depending on deterioration/changes.

In the traditional cities, the center is shaped by commercial structures consisting of bedesten, inn, arasta and stores. There are shutters on the entrance facade of these buildings which are used for security, exhibition and sales purposes. Aim: With this study, it is aimed to determine, document and generate details of the original shutter systems in terms of typology and compare them with today's examples. Method: Restoration applications with original shutter systems were identified and documented; original examples were detailed and compared with other examples from various aspects. Findings: In the original examples, it was determined that the shutters were opened in a vertical or horizontal direction by consisting of different numbers of wings, and they were used for the purpose of protecting the products from wind and sun due to their original details, in addition to creating a counter for the safety of the shop and sales. It has been determined that very few original examples remain today. Conclusion: Today, the original shutter system of many traditional trade structures has been replaced with materials and elements that are not suitable for the texture and structure; For this reason, it has been determined that the authenticity of the structures as well as the authenticity of the traditional texture are deteriorated. With the study, source data for original shutter systems for restoration applications were created.

Korumada amaç yapıların simgesel ve sanatsal değerleri ile birlikte fiziksel yapısını da muhafaza etmek ve sürdürülebilir olmalarını sağlamaktır. Bu bakışı yansıtan bir çalışma olarak Kütahya’nın tarihi kent merkezinde bulunan Ahırardı Cami, yapısal ve dekoratif malzemeleri arkeometrik açıdan incelenmiştir. 1876 yılında yapılan ve zaman içinde çeşitli müdahalelere uğrayan caminin farklı bölgelerinden örneklenen taş, tuğla, sıva, harç ve çini örneklere fiziksel, kimyasal ve petrografik analizler uygulanmıştır. Arkeometrik çalışmalar kapsamında taş ve tuğla örneklerin fiziksel özellikleri temel fiziksel testlerle, aynı örneklerin suda çözünen tuz miktarı ile tuz (anyon) türleri de kondaktometrik analiz ile belirlenmiştir. Harç ve sıvalarda agrega/bağlayıcı ve agregada tane boyutu dağılımı (granülometrik) analizi uygulanmıştır. Yapısal örneklerin tümünün petrografik özellikleri, ince kesitleri üzerinden optik mikroskop analizi ile belirlenmiştir. Caminin yapımında kullanılan taşlar yoğunlukla ignimbirit kayaç türündedir. Taşlarda olduğu gibi tuğla örneklerin petrografik analizleri de volkanik kökenli yapıya sahip olduklarını göstermiştir. Agrega/bağlayıcı bileşimleri incelenen harç örnekler 2, sıva örnekler de 3 grup altında sınıflandırılmıştır. Tümü onarım örneği olan harç ve sıvala-rın bağlayıcı içeriğini çimento/kül, kil/kül karışımı bağlayıcıların oluşturduğu belirlenmiştir. Agrega/bağlayıcı içerikleri oldukça benzeşen onarım harç ve sıva örnekleri yakın dönem onarımlarını yansıtmaktadır ve caminin özgün harç ve sıvaları bu süreçlerde yok olmuş durumdadır.

Tarihi yapıların korunması ve yaşatılması her ne kadar önemli olsa da bunun doğru teknikler ve multidisipliner bir çalışma ile yapılması da önemlidir. Korumadaki öncelikli faktörlerden bir tanesi doğru malzeme seçimi olması sebebiyle, yapının belgelenmesine ek olarak yapı malzemelerinin de analiz edilmesi önemlidir. Bu doğrultuda Malatya Ulu Camisi’ne ait malzemeler arkeometrik açıdan incelenmiştir. 1224 yılında inşa edilmiş yapının farklı bölümlerinden alınan taş, tuğla, çini, harç ve sıva örnekler analiz edilmiştir. Fiziksel testler ile fiziksel özellikler kondaktometrik analiz ile ise malzemelerdeki tuz türleri ve çözünen tuz miktarları belirlenmiştir. Granülometrik analiz sonucunda agrega tane boyutları ve oranları (harç ve sıvalarda), optik yöntem ile de tüm malzemelerin petrografik özellikleri tespit edilmiştir. Cami inşasında en çok kullanılan taş türü latittir. Onarım sırasında kullanılan tuğlaların dayanımı özgün tuğlalara göre daha yüksektir. Özgün harç ve sıvaların bağlayıcı içeriğinde kireç/kil ve kireç/alçı/kil karşımı, onarımda kullanılan harç ve sıvaların bağlayıcı içeriğinde ise çimento/kireç, çimento/kil ve kil/kireç/çimento karışımı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çiniler turkuaz, bordo ve siyah renkte olup, turkuaz örnekte bakır, demir, kalay, kurşun, bordo ve siyah örnekte ise mangan ve demir elementleri bulunmaktadır. Çalışma ile elde edilen veriler restorasyon uygulamalarının doğru yapılabilmesi amacıyla önem arz etmektedir.

The Redif Barracks situated in Vezirköprü district has served as a barracks, school and public Education center since it was constructed. It is one of the rare examples of non-domestic civil architecture and it is important to sustain that. Aim: To determine the current features to protect, and to refunction the sustainability of the Redif Barracks which was used as a public Education center but evacuated recently and which faced malpractices. Method: The size was measured through modern techniques and building surveys were made. Thus, deterioration and problems with the structure were determined. Dating of the structure was made after a thorough literature review. While making suggestions on restitution, protection and functioning decisions were made. Findings: It was found that the post structure has been used up to today by various functions and has faced structural differences. It was also found that the post faced deteriorations by natural, human-driven and atmospheric causes. It was determined that the deterioration process accelerated since the structure was abandoned. It was concluded that the structure can be sustained by providing a new function suitable with its features and location. Conclusion: When the researches about the Redif Barracks were examined, it was determined that there was no mention of a barracks in Vezirköprü. To reverse the deterioration process of the structure which was documented through measurements, it is important to interfere. Therefore, it is understood that the structure should be kept alive by giving it the right function.
