Examination Study for the Traditional Houses of the Black Sea Region

Öz

People have solved the need for shelter in different ways depending on the conditions of the region they live in. The Turkish house is a type of house with its own characteristics, which was formed in the Anatolian and Rumeli regions. These houses, which have similar characteristics in terms of their main lines, have undergone some changes over a period of approximately five hundred years and different types have been revealed in different countries and regions. The aim of the study is to determine the change in the traditional house typology on the line from the Middle Black Sea to the East Black Sea and to reveal the reasons for this change. The determined buildings were examined in terms of plan type, construction techniques, land layout, protrusion features, whether there is a garden and main entrance/secondary entrance features. These detected features were analyzed by creating various combinations and using the K-means clustering algorithm method to search patterns, which is the most widely used machine learning algorithm for descriptive analysis. With the evaluation and interpretation of the clusters obtained by this method, data on the differences seen in the traditional Black Sea Region houses on the line starting from Samsun to Artvin were obtained. In addition, it has been observed that there are regional plan types and structural systems in the examined areas. Afterwards, an evaluation was made regarding the reasons for these differences. Although various research has been made on the traditional houses of the Black Sea Region, the absence of an analysis comparing the building typology on this line makes this study important.
