Özet:

 Hatunsaray neighbourhood of Meram district, 35 km southwest of Konya was built on ancient Lystra, one of the famous cities of Lycaonia in Turkish period. In the New Testament, along with LystraHatunsaray, which is mentioned among the cities that St. Paul visited during his travels to spread Christianity in Anatolia; KilistraGökyurt, BotsaGüneydere and DetseYeşildere, located nearby to Hatunsaray are also remarkable with their religious and social structures in rock carving technique similar to those in Cappadocia and Phrygia. During the surface surveys carried out in Hatunsaray and its surroundings in 2012 and 2013, it is observed that the historical water structures in the region were designed under the geographical conditions and they are the architectural solutions to meet the basic vital needs such as drinking and agricultural usage and also cleaning and transportation. The 3 laundries, 13 fountains, 8 bridges and 7 cisterns searched in this study are the material cultural data of the revived socio-economic life of Hatunsaray, and its surroundings during the Turkish period, and the use of the limited water resources in the region in history. It can be said that; in the region, the construction of rock-carved cisterns, which became widespread in the region, especially in the Roman era, continued in the Turkish period and a water storage technique was developed, unique to the region with its hydraulic features. In addition, original outcomes can be made from the fountain inscriptions about water culture and construction management in vernacular architecture. Apart from the Sille Laundry in Selçuklu district, the other three laundries in Konya are in Gökyurt. On the other hand, the fact that Hatunsaray is on the caravan route of Konya-Antalya and Alanya, and existing large and small rivers were required the construction of many bridges. In the studies dealing with the religious and civil architecture of the research region, in particular the water structures; no evaluation was made in terms of architecture, art history and settlement archaeology. In this study; following the introduction part, in which boundaries and importance of the subject are mentioned, the history of topography of Hatunsaray and its surroundings defined in outline, the characteristic of the regional structures in Turkish water architecture are determined and attention is drawn to their value in terms of urban archaeology and a detailed building catalog is included with the results of the research.

 Konyanın 35 km kadar güneybatısında, merkez Meram ilçesine bağlı Hatunsaray mahallesi Türk çağında, Likaonyanın meşhur kentlerinden antik Lystra üzerinde kurulmuştur. Yeni Ahitte, Aziz Pavlusun Anadoluda Hıristiyanlığı yaymak üzere gerçekleştirdiği seyahatlerinde uğradığı kentler arasında adı geçen LystraHatunsaray ile birlikte yine yakın civarda yer alan KilistraGökyurt, BotsaGüneydere ve DetseYeşildere; Kapadokya ve Frigyadakilere benzer, kaya oyma tekniğinde dini ve sosyal yapılarıyla dikkat çeken yerleşimlerdir. Hatunsaray ve çevresinde 2012-2013 yılları arasında gerçekleştirdiğimiz yüzey araştırmalarında, bölgedeki tarihi su yapılarının coğrafi koşullar altında tasarlanmış; başta içme ve zirai kullanım olmak üzere temizlik ve ulaşım gibi temel yaşamsal ihtiyaçları karşılamaya yönelik üretilmiş mimari çözümler oldukları görülmüştür. Burada incelenen 3 çamaşırhane, 13 çeşme, 8 köprü ve 7 sarnıç Hatunsaray ve çevresinin Türk döneminde canlanan sosyoekonomik hayatına ve bölgedeki sınırlı su kaynaklarının tarih içindeki kullanımına dair maddi kültür verileridir. Bölgede özellikle, Roma çağında yaygınlık kazanan kaya oyma sarnıç yapımının Türk döneminde de devam ettiği ve hidrolik özellikleri ile bölgeye has bir su depolama tekniğinin geliştiği söylenebilir. Ayrıca, çeşme kitabelerinden su kültürü ve halk mimarisinde yapı yönetimi hakkında özgün çıkarımlar yapılabilmektedir. Selçuklu ilçesi Sille Çamaşırhanesinden başka Konyadaki diğer üç çamaşırhane Gökyurttadır. Öte yandan Hatunsarayın Konya - Antalya ve Alanya kervan yolu üzerinde bulunması ve irili ufaklı akarsular çok sayıda köprü yapımını gerektirmiştir. Araştırma bölgesinin dini ve sivil mimarisini ele alan çalışmalarda su yapıları özelinde mimarlık, sanat tarihi ve yerleşim arkeolojisi yönlerinden bir değerlendirilmeye gidilmemiştir. Bu çalışmada; konunun sınırları ve önemine değinilen giriş bölümünü takiben Hatunsaray ve çevresinin tarihsel topografyası ana hatlarıyla tanımlanmış, Türk su mimarisi içinde bölge yapılarının karakteristik özellikleri belirlenerek, kentsel arkeoloji açısından taşıdıkları değere dikkat çekilmiş ve araştırma sonuçlarıyla birlikte ayrıntılı bir yapı kataloğuna yer verilmiştir.
