    The aim of this study is to document the construction techniques, material usage, and structural failures of the traditional houses in a village of Mardin, Eryeri, in order to guide a conservation aimed development plan that will be prepared in the future and enhance the related rehabilitation implementations. Eight houses that have preserved their authenticity were selected. Field survey focusing on the structural elements such as foundations, walls, floors, and roofs was conducted with the conventional techniques of architectural restoration. Both failures and also alterations of the buildings were documented. The changes and alterations of the houses are documented. Visual analysis of the constructional qualities was made with Archicad23 tools. Comparison with the traditional houses in the vicinity was made with reference to data gathered via field survey, literature review and archive research. As a result, the traditional houses are integrated with the rocky terrain of the region and in masonry system. There is an intense use of local stone, Yellow Limestone. Vaults are common superstructure elements, but timber floor is also possible. The walls are stone masonry in all. The common structural problems are demolition of structural elements such as roofs. The causes of severe failures are neglect and natural aging. The reinforced concrete additions flanking to the authentic structures also cause failure. Within the scope of the conservation plan, it is important to prevent reinforced concrete annexes and to intervene the annexes that cause excessive loads urgently.

    Historical Development of Göztepe District in Izmir and Preservation Problems of Its Monuments
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Düzcan, İpek; Hamamcıoğlu Turan, Mine; Turan, Mine; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Göztepe has transformed significantly with the loss of its suburban landscape and historic context of the late 19th century and early 20th century. The transformation of the historical context of the district started during the mid 20th century, when urbanization had caused the invasion of the district with high apartment buildings. The historical value of the site arises from its remaining assets. The study aims to present the historical development of Göztepe and its current preservation problems with an eye on its monuments: Arapyan Ispartalyan House, Susuz Dede Park, Notre Dame de Lourdes Church and Anadolu Apartment Building. The way followed is literature review, site survey, historical and archive research, comparative study, evaluation and discussion. The present historical monuments of Göztepe district had been built at the beginning of the 20th century, except the site of Susuz Dede Park, which originates in Hellenistic period (4th century BC). The types of the studied monuments vary according to their function as one educational, two religious or one residential type; and also, according to their quality as three cultural, and one mixed (cultural and natural). The recognition of the values of the district depends on the sustaining of these assets. It is concluded that the present state of Göztepe district is not successful as a representative of its historical characteristics; rather it indicates an insufficient long-term planning of urban development and conservation-oriented zoning. For the sustainable development of the district, a harmonious balance between the new and the old should be ensured. Preservation of the assets will contribute to presenting a much more valuable whole. A holistic approach is necessary in this manner for revealing the hidden values.
