Master Thesis Construction Techniques of Traditional Houses in Karaburun Villages(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Görür, Burçin; Kul Özdemir, Fatma Nurşen; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis thesis aims to understand the building materials and construction techniques utilized in the traditional houses of the villages in Karaburun Peninsula; Küçükbahçe and Kösedere in particular. With this aim, a preliminary study is carried out in 13 historical villages of the Peninsula in order to understand their traditional building reservoir, preservation state of traditional buildings and materials and construction techniques. The results of the preliminary study showed that materials and techniques utilized are quite similar with slight differences between east and west zones of the Peninsula. Two villages, Küçükbahçe and Kösedere, that best represent these differences are selected from two zones. The traditional building reservoir in these two villages is further analyzed to understand materials and techniques applied in foundations, walls, floors, roofs and architectural elements. As conclusion, it is understood that hybrid construction system is used in both villages. The exterior walls are stone masonry; the inner walls are timber frame without infill. Although the system is similar, there are slight differences in materials choices. The stone material used in two villages differs in shape, size and color related with the source of the materials. This is related with different geological characteristics of east and west zones of the peninsula. Another difference observed in Küçükbahçe is the common use of reed instead of timber laths in timber frame walls. Timber flooring system is similar in both villages. The original flat roof system has slight differences related with the availability of materials. Reed is used instead of timber elements in Küçükbahçe. The soil type is also different. The soil type, that is called “geren” used in Küçükbahçe has higher clay content. The materials and technique of architectural elements are similar in both villages.Master Thesis Structural Model Besed Root Cause Investigation of Damage in Urla Helvacılar Mosque and a Proposal for Strengthening(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Narin Güzel, Ceren; Aktaş, Engin; Kul Özdemir, Fatma Nurşen; Aktaş, Engin; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe period when small independent beyliks (principalities) were founded in Anatolia in the 13th century is called the principalities period. The process of creating a new architectural style in Western Anatolia, as well as the works-built marks an important milestone in this period, which is defined as a transition period between the Seljuk architecture and the Ottoman architecture. The Aydın Dynasty, one of the important principalities of western Anatolia, had its capital at Birgi from 1308 to 1426. The dynasty is known for with its economic and political power and the important works it left behind. Helvacılar Mosque is one of the important works of the Aydın Dynasty, which was built in the 15th century and survives today. It is also an outstanding example to understand the single-domed mosque typology in western Anatolia. Helvacılar Mosque, located in the Kuşcular Neighborhood of the Urla District, is today derelict and abandoned. Heavy structural damage in the structure poses a grave risk for the structure to survive. This study compared and discovered the similarities and differences between Helvacılar Mosque and the similar-period structures situated in Urla and identified the architectural and structural characteristics of the structure with the aid of measured drawing projects. This study used a combination of architectural restoration and structural engineering. For Helvacılar Mosque, the study carried out the self-weight analysis, modal analysis, settlement analysis, response spectrum analysis, time history analysis using three real earthquake records in a finite element model. The aim of engineering research is to identify the present causes of damages in the structure. With the help of finite element analysis, the study put forward the essential repair and strengthening methods for Helvacılar Mosque to repair the damages observed in the structure, strengthen the structure, and obviate the causes of the damages based on the intervention methods offered in the guideline titled Earthquake Risk Management of Historical Structures issued by the General Directorate of Foundations.Master Thesis Rural Heritage in Excluded Geographies: From Ahkis To Çevrecik a Village of Bitlis(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Kurban, Özge; Kul Özdemir, Fatma Nurşen; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyBuilt environment and residential units as part of it have a significant role in terms of understanding cultural structure with its transformation in historical process through spatial aspects. While transformation of urban settlements presents information related to urban culture, settlements in rural sites provide narratives from different point of view in the same historical process. Differently from urban settlements that constructed independently of natural environment, rural sites that shaped by their nature present significant information with an approach considering their geographical formations and cultural landscape. It can be stated that, studies related to rural heritage which rise in importance across the world also started to increase in number in academy of Turkey. This study focuses on the geographies that studies of rural heritage and vernacular architecture as a component of it do not include. Selecting Ahkis village in Hizan district of Bitlis, Eastern Anatolia, the study evaluates the built environment and the settlement with its transformation in time and daily life practices. Because of the limited sources related to the territory, mostly with the information that provided through oral historical sources and interviews made during field survey, it is aimed to approach the site as a whole with its historical background. In addition to this, it is aimed to read the situation of being excluded which is not specific to Ahkis through historiography of vernacular architecture, designation process and representation of cultural heritage and affects of challenges incident to the territory in terms of literature studies.Master Thesis Understanding Gölde (i̇ncesu) With Its Tangible and Intangible Characteristics(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Eken, Esra; Kul Özdemir, Fatma Nurşen; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyInternational conservation agenda focuses on the significance of understanding rural heritage with a holistic approach considering both tangible and intangible aspects. However, tangible aspects are still the main concern of legal documents as well as academic discussions in Turkey. Thus, most of rural heritage sites are either demolished or lost its authentic characteristics without being understood and documented inclusively. This study aims a holistic understanding of Gölde (İncesu) rural settlement within the border of Kula where Muslim Turkish and Orthodox Rum communities lived together until the beginning of the 20th century. Considering the aim of the study; both tangible and intangible characteristics of Gölde are deciphered by using different information sources; observation and analysis of the physical environment for tangible, and narratives of the present Muslim and past Orthodox Rum inhabitants for intangible. Thus; continuing, changed and lost values of Gölde could be evaluated. The results of the study made it clear that analysis of the sole physical environment in not enough to understand a place with all its dimensions. Intangible characteristics that shaped and/or performed in this physical environment should be also understood.Master Thesis Transformation of İskenderun Historic Urban Fabric From Mid 19th Century To the End of the French Mandate Period(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Nalça, Canan; Kul Özdemir, Fatma Nurşen; Rifaioğlu, Mert Nezih; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyAlexandretta is the second largest district of Hatay province surrounded by the Mediterranean at the West and Syria at the East. Although sit was founded around 400 BC, it has started to be urbanized and developed after the mid-19th century. The main reason of this improvement was the positive impacts of the Industrial Revolution on the Eastern Mediterranean port cities. This development process accelerated after the French Mandate period that is started after 1919. This study aims to decipher chronological development and transformation process of the historical urban fabric of İskenderun. The study has been carried out by comparison of old maps and photographs chronologically, their correlation and combination with the information coming from the written sources. In addition to this, field studies have been carried out in order to understand the existence and condition of the cultural values formed the historical urban fabric. The results of the study showed that the urban fabric has changed depending on the change of the administrative statue, social and economic conditions in the transitional period from the Ottoman Empire to the French Mandate. Buildings have been constructed to meet the new need and the city has grown. The city had a rapid industrialization period between 1950 and 1980. The rapid population increase resulted with a dramatic destruction. However, there are still existing structures in the city. In order to reflect a certain time period, these buildings should be preserved.
