Sustainability of Traditional Houses: Two Mansions Protected Through Adaptive Reuse in Yozgat

Abstract

Traditional houses are not used in accordance with their original functions and gradually disappear due to reasons such as social changes and lack of awareness about protection and policies. Accepted locally and globally as a key concept that aims to maintain societies in the future, sustainability supports as well the

identification of structures with their social and cultural dimensions. This study aims at examining the spatial and structural characteristics of Nizamoğlu and Hayri Đnal mansions that are adaptively reused and that need to be conveyed to future generations and providing recommendations for preserving mansions and ensuring sociocultural sustainability.

Key words: Traditional houses, socio-cultural sustainability, adaptive reuse, Yozgat, mansion
