An Investigation Of The Rural Dwellings In Town Of Horasan From The Perspective Of Cultural Geography

14100

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the rural dwellings constructedin conventional methods in some villages of Horasan from the perspective of the cultural geography. In order to objectively determine the influence of culture on dwellings, a sample consisting of seven villages in different directions of the town was selected. One of the properties of people on which they reflect their cultural characteristics they inherited best is the houses they construct. Therefore, the main concern of the study is the traditional dwellings and the influence of culture on the ways of construction of them. In this respect, it is seen that the traditional houses in the villages of Horasan reflect the culture of families in the region in the best way. It was observed that, in the construction of the houses, besides Turkish-Islamic culture, cold weather conditions had been effective as well. Although their number is decreasing day by day, in almost every village, the houses built in traditional methods 100-150 years before are the best examples of the traditional culture. Thus, in the villages selected as the sample of the study, such dwellings were analyzed. During the investigations, it was seen that the culture of dwelling in the rural areas of Erzurum exists in this area with slight differences.
