Traditional houses are historically, culturally, and structurally important buildings. Traditional houses may change for a variety of reasons over time due to changes in social life. For example, they may no longer respond to user needs and desires. The aim of this study was to examine physical changes made to traditional Diyarbakir houses that occurred as a result of the social structure. Diyarbakir, a historical city of Anatolia, has traditional houses that include past cultural values that date back 5 centuries. After the 1950s, the original character of traditional houses began to be lost with the impact of population growth and unplanned urbanization. The traditional houses were designed for the large, patriarchal families of the past. Today, typically, lower income groups live in these houses. In terms of usage, the earlier meaning has been completely lost. This study was conducted to analyze how changes in social structure affect architecture. Physical changes made to traditional Diyarbakir houses were catalogued in on-site examinations, the residents were surveyed in an effort to determine a user profile, and an analysis was performed to assess the changes observed.

Keywords: Changing, physical structure, traditional Diyarbak�r houses, migration, social structure.

Geleneksel evler tarihsel, k�lt�rel ve yap�sal olarak olduk�a �nem arz eden yap�lard�r. Geleneksel evler sosyal ya�amda meydana gelen de�i�ikliklere ba�l� olarak uzun s�reli kullan�mlarda �e�itli nedenlerle de�i�ime u�ramakta ve kullan�c� gereksinim ve isteklerine yan�t veremez duruma gelebilmektedir. Bu �al��ma geleneksel Diyarbak�r evlerinde sosyal yap�ya ba�l� de�i�en fiziksel de�i�imi incelemeyi hedeflemektedir. Anadolu�nun tarihi bir kenti olan Diyarbak�r�da be� as�rl�k bir d�nemi kapsayan, ge�mi� k�lt�rel de�erleri bar�nd�ran tarihi geleneksel evler vard�r. Geleneksel evler �zg�n niteli�ini 1950� li y�llardan sonra n�fus art�� ve �arp�k kentle�menin etkisi ile yitirmeye ba�lam��t�r. Geleneksel Diyarbak�r evleri ge�mi�te kalabal�k, geni� ataerkil ailelere g�re tasarlanm�� ve d�nemin k�lt�rel, sosyal ve ekonomik ya�am�n� i�inde bar�nd�rm��t�r. Bug�n yine kalabal�k alt gelir grubunun i�inde ya�amakta oldu�u bu evler de�i�mi�, kullan�m bak�m�ndan ge�mi�teki anlam�n� tamamen yitirmi�tir. Sosyal yap� de�i�iminin mimari yap�y� nas�l etkiledi�inin belirlenmesi amac�yla yap�lan bu �al��mada geleneksel Diyarbak�r evlerinde anket �al��mas� yap�larak kullan�c� profili belirlenmeye �al��lm��, yerinde yap�lan g�zlem ve inceleme sonu�lar� ile literat�r taramas� sonucu elde edilen bilgiler de ele al�narak fiziksel de�i�imler incelenmi�tir. Evlerin tarihsel s�re�te u�rad�� de�i�im boyutunun belirlenmesi i�in yerinde yap�lan incelemelerle evlerin orijinalindeki durumu g�z �n�ne al�narak u�rad�� fiziksel de�i�imler de�erlendirilmi� ve sunulmu�tur.

Anahtar Kelimeler: De�i�im, fiziksel yap�, geleneksel Diyarbak�r evleri, g��, sosyal yap�.
