Özet

The relations between culture and living styles have important roles on the composition of the space which reflect the traditional settlement's characteristics. Güzelyurt (Gelveri-Kalvari) has the unique traditional residential pattern protected up to now in which the characteristic properties of the spatial structure have been formed by the cultural structure and the living styles. A traditional residential area exhibiting unique vernacular characteristics is severely threatened by physical, functional and image obsolescence as many other historic settlements in the world. This study aims to define the impacts of the socio-cultural characteristics of the traditional residential area and to evaluate them in terms of continuity when it was faced with new culture and life style. In this context spatial, functional, morphologic, contextual and visual features of the traditional environment were analyzed in order to evaluate the physical environment and socio-cultural qualities.
