A Methodological Study on the Conservation of Traditional Isparta Houses

Abstract

In this study, we discussed the traditional houses that have been inhabited since the Roman period and are registered and protected in the city center of Isparta, located in the Mediterranean region. One hundred twenty-eight registered traditional houses located in the city center, archive scans, three-dimensional laser scans, and drone shots were examined to determine the current structural status of the traditional houses. Furthermore, the reasons for the loss of registered houses to date were investigated. The study examined traditional houses in terms of zoning, ownership, and transportation status using various analytical methods. The results obtained from these analyses were evaluated with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, and the weight of the criterion that weighs more and creates pressure on traditional houses was calculated. These analyses aimed to uncover the reasons and outcomes of the processes, commonly referred to as rent pressure and considered a contributing factor to the loss of traditional houses in Türkiye. In conclusion, the analyses conducted under the headings of zoning practices, ownership structure, and transportation activities that contributed to the concept of rent emerging in traditional houses revealed that ownership was the primary factor in the gradual decline of registered building stocks, followed by zoning and transportation practices. Therefore, ownership should be taken as a basis for the studies to be carried out for conservation purposes nowadays. In this sense, it is believed that the current work can be an important source for conservation studies in Türkiye and will form the basis for similar research in the future.
