IDENTIFICATION OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF HATUNIYE SUBURB AND YALIBOYU HOUSES IN AMASYA CITY

Abstract

Transferring the architectural marks of the respective era of communities that have lived since most ancient times in history to the next generation is a necessity.  Marauding of our cultural assets of the past through rapidly changing live conditions, urbanization, population growth, gradual depletion of natural resources, industrialization, deliberate and unconscious destruction renders protection of cultural assets necessary.  History of Amasya City is also a settlement that dates back to ancient civilizations. It has succeeded in protecting its historical texture substantially up to date. However, the city is gradually facing the risk of losing the unique characteristic due to unplanned urbanization. This study presents the cultural, historical and architectural characteristics of Yalıboyu Houses, which hold abundant examples of the civil architectural of Amasya City, and examines and evaluates the layout characteristics, plan and facade arrangements and the load bearing systems of the registered civil architectural examples in detail.
