Ağlasun is a rural area in Burdur, on the west Mediterranean Region in Turkey. Most of the buildings in Ağlasun is built with the materials provided from the local resources except the ones effected from the industry of reinforced concrete. The commonly used materials in the vernacular constructions are mud-brick and stone. The specialty that makes the earthen buildings in Ağlasun unique is their respectable structural condition although they are more than 60 years old. Plan layout of the buildings which represents the economic and social life shaped according to the needs of local people. Therefore, this text aims to understand the characteristics of earthen buildings by focusing on the construction technique and plan layout of earthen buildings in Ağlasun and make a contribution to the awareness of the conservation of vernacular earthen architecture in its changing context.

The historic urban fabric is still visible, and the traditional lifestyle continues in the region. However, the population has been decreasing, and some parts of the traditional fabric have lost their local ...
Analysis of the North Anatolian Shear Zone in Central Pontides (northern Turkey): Insight for geometries and kinematics of deformation structures in a transpressional zone Ellero, Alessandro; Ottria, Giuseppe; Marroni, Michele; Pandolfi, Luca; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2015-03-01) The western part of the North Anatolian Shear Zone at the southern boundary of the Central Pontides in Turkey, was investigated in the Kursunlu-Arac area by means of a geological-structural field study. In this area the North Anatolian Shear Zone results in a transpressional deformation zone that extends between two master faults striking parallel to the main shear direction. The main systems of structures identified in the deformation zone appear to be oriented parallel to the directions predicted by Riede...
Arnavutköy Tarihi Çevre Özellikleri Nayır, Zeynep (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 1978) Arnavutköy is a small village on the Bosphorus. Due to its position and fresh-water springs, the site was a favourable spot since Roman times. In the fourth century, Byzantine emperor Constantius I (337-361) ordered the construction of a church dedicated to Archangel Michael. During the reign of Emperor Justinian the Great (527-565) this building was replaced by a new Michaelion, circular in plan and surrounded by a colonnaded courtyard. The village flourished until the attacks of the approaching Ottomans m...
GIS-based microzonation of the Niksar settlement area for the purpose of urban planning (Tokat, Turkey) Erol, Gokhan; Topal, Tamer (2013-04-01) Niksar (Tokat) is an urban area located in a seismically active zone of Turkey. The aim of this study is to prepare a GIS-based microzonation map of the Niksar settlement area for the purpose of urban planning. Liquefaction, activity, slope, aspect, fault proximity, ground amplification, and lithology are considered during the overlay analysis, using a multicriteria decision-making analysis of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and simple additive weighing (SAW) methods. Based on the resulting evaluatio...
