Özet:

 The historical changes in the societal structures influence users expectations from space and their ways of utilizing it, leading to spatial transformation. Local houses, shaped by the needs arising from the regions unique way of life and reflecting the cultural, social, and local characteristics of their settlement and construction period in their spatial layout, are gradually altered from their original form and function through user interventions to meet evolving requirements. In some cases, they face the risk of disappearance due to neglect and disuse. As cultural heritage assets that preserve the social and cultural accumulation of societies, the conservation of these local houses without losing their original values and their transmission to future generations are crucial for maintaining and sustaining cultural identity at both rural and urban scales. This study aims to reveal the impact of societal changes on the transformation of local spaces, based on the approach that every change in the social structure throughout the historical process is reflected in physical formations. In line with this objective, three local houses in the Fındıklı district of Rize were selected for social and spatial analysis. The historical timeline was divided into three periods: 1 the initial period, when the houses were built, and the regions traditional lifestyle was actively maintained by household members; 2 the transitional period, when changes in social structures began affecting both users and spaces; and 3 the transformation period, when the original lifestyles, users, and functions of the houses underwent significant changes. The spatial layout of each house was examined on-site, and floor plans were created for each of the three periods. Societal changes during these periods were analyzed under the themes of socio-cultural, economic, and technological structure, while spatial transformations were assessed in terms of mass, layout and circulation, function, and users. The findings indicate that changes in social structures have led house users to engage in behaviors such as partitioning, separating, and transforming spaces. The loss of original characteristics in local houses has also resulted in the disappearance of traces reflecting the historical human-space interaction. The study concludes that ensuring the sustainability of these culturally significant houses requires a holistic conservation approach that not only preserves façade and mass characteristics but also integrates spatial layout and interior elements into the protection framework.

 Tarihsel süreçte toplumsal yapıda meydana gelen değişimler, kullanıcıların mekândan beklentilerine ve mekânı kullanma biçimlerine etki ederek mekânsal dönüşümü beraberinde getirmektedir. Yöreye özgü yaşam biçiminden doğan ihtiyaçlar doğrultusunda şekillenen, bulundukları yerleşime ve inşa edildikleri döneme ait kültürel, sosyal ve yerel özellikleri plan kurgusuna yansımış olan yerel konutlar; zamanla değişen gereksinimleri karşılayabilmesi için kullanıcı müdahaleleri ile özgün biçiminden ve işlevinden uzaklaştırılmakta, kimi zaman da bakımsızlık ve kullanılmama sebepleri ile yok olma tehlikesi ile karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Toplumlara ait sosyal ve kültürel birikimleri günümüze ulaştırması bakımından kültürel miras niteliği taşıyan yerel konutların, özgün değerlerini yitirmeden korunarak gelecek nesillere aktarılması hem kırsal hem de kentsel ölçekte kültürel kimliğin korunması ve sürekliliği açısından önemli bir değere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada; tarihsel süreç içerisinde toplumsal yapıda meydana gelen her değişimin fiziksel oluşumlara da yansıdığı yaklaşımından yola çıkılarak bu yansımanın yerel mekânın dönüşümü üzerinde yarattığı etkiyi ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda; Rizenin Fındıklı ilçesinde yer alan 3 yerel konut toplumsal ve mekânsal analizleri yapılmak üzere seçilmiştir. Tarihsel süreç 19.yüzyıldan günümüze; konutların inşa edildiği, yöreye özgü yaşamın sürdürüldüğü, kullanıcıların ev halkı olduğu 1.dönem, toplumsal yapıdaki değişimin kullanıcıları ve mekanları etkilediği 2.dönem, konutlardaki özgün yaşamın, kullanıcıların ve işlevlerin değiştiği 3.dönem olmak üzere 3 döneme ayrılmıştır. Konutların plan kurgusu yerinde incelenerek her bir konut için 3 ayrı döneme ait planlar oluşturulmuştur. Belirlenen dönemlerde toplumsal yapıda gerçekleşen değişim sosyokültürel, ekonomik ve teknolojik yapı, mekânsal yapıdaki dönüşüm ise kütle, kurgu ve sirkülasyon, işlev ve kullanıcı başlıkları altında incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında; toplumsal yapıdaki değişimlerin, konut kullanıcılarında bölme, ayrılma ve dönüştürme davranışlarının ortaya çıkmasına neden olduğu görülmüştür. Yerel konutların özgün niteliklerini kaybetmesiyle, geçmişten gelen insan-mekân etkileşimine dair izlerin okunabilirliğinin de kaybolduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Kültürel miras niteliğindeki yerel konutların koruma-kullanma dengesi kurularak sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanabilmesi için cephe ve kütle özelliklerinin yanında plan kurgusu ve yerel donatılarının da dahil olduğu bütüncül bir koruma yaklaşımının gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
