The culture and built environment relations are more crucial when changes in both are more <br>rapid and excessive since such changes can severely threaten continuity in the built environment and <br>culture and may have undesirable physical, social and culturel consequences. Environmental cues <br>which communicate meanings at different levels are very helpful in studying culture and built <br>environment relations as well as changes in both them across different areas and over time. Than the <br>task is, how one can study what they communicate, how they communicate, which are the most <br>important ones, how one can analyze those cues and what meanings they communicate to the local and <br>other people. In this paper the theoretical framework as well as the model for analyzing changes in <br>culture and the built environment is established. Research methods and the procedures are discussed in <br>detail and a comprehensive research methodology for analyzing the culture and built environment <br>relations via environmental cues is proposed. The proposed approach can be used for different <br>environments, at different scales as well as in incorporating the values, meanings and lifestyles of the <br>different user groups, in designing the new. <br> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Deniz YENGİN}
