Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 8
Abstract
Rural architecture and housing types cannot compete with today's technological developments and fall behind. For this reason, research should be conducted promptly especially on rural settlements, in which the most basic examples of traditional techniques and materials are seenandtheextentof culturaldegeneration has increased. Especially some rural areas in the geography of Anatolia, that replete with rich historical and cultural heritage, were able to preserve their architectural features. Unfortunately, rural architecture is being destroyed under the name of efforts for adapting to technological developments and modernism or urban development. Botsa, which is a village in Hatunsaray district of Konya province located in centralTurkey, isstillableto remain in the original with its architecture and traditional dwelling features as much as its history, culture, geography and demographic structure. Botsa demonstrates settlement characteristics since the Bronze Age. It was home to Hittite, Phrygian, Hellenistic-Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, Karamanid, Ottoman and Republican periods. The village was put under production by the Konya Conservation Board of the Ministry of Culture, however,itsbuildingregistrations are deficient. The presence of people still living in this region, where the traces of different cultures arefound, andthe existence of efforts to maintain rural architecture affect the dynamics of the region and enhance the easier applicability of the proposals to be made. In this study, Botsa village houses, on which the examples of traditional housing typology can be found, were subjected to a general examination. Reliefs of the sample houses have been taken, the details which uniquely belong to that area houses have been examined and it has been concluded that the houses bear endemic characteristics and need to be put under protection.
