In Turkey, the spatial and economic aspects of villages have changed since the 2000s. A great number of (16102) villages have become a “quarter” through the Metropolitan Law No. 6360 (2012). Rural areas have been generally shaped through centralized vertical approaches. In recent years, the importance of the participation of the local people in shaping rural areas are emphasized. However, there is limited study. The paper is an attempt to understand the reasons behind the local residents’ attachment to rural built-up environments and the architectural and traditional elements of olive oil processing in Baltaköy (Aydın, Turkey). The article indicates that residents have two opposing approaches—conserving vernacular houses, olive mils and the rural lifestyle and neglecting them—depending on their age.
