【 摘 要 】

Traditional houses are historically, culturally, and structurally important buildings. Traditional houses may change for a variety of reasons over time due to changes in social life. For example, they may no longer respond to user needs and desires. The aim of this study was to examine physical changes made to traditional Diyarbakir houses that occurred as a result of the social structure. Diyarbakir, a historical city of Anatolia, has traditional houses that include past cultural values that date back 5 centuries. After the 1950s, the original character of traditional houses began to be lost with the impact of population growth and unplanned urbanization. The traditional houses were designed for the large, patriarchal families of the past. Today, typically, lower income groups live in these houses. In terms of usage, the earlier meaning has been completely lost. This study was conducted to analyze how changes in social structure affect architecture. Physical changes made to traditional Diyarbakir houses were catalogued in on-site examinations, the residents were surveyed in an effort to determine a user profile, and an analysis was performed to assess the changes observed.
