Rural architecture and settlements occupy an important place in conservation discipline. In this study, the architectural pattern of Karahay�t, Gaziler, and Kabaa�a�the three villages affiliated to Zeytinova, Bay�nd�r, �zmir�is examined and evaluated, and proposals regarding the future of the villages are made. The villages are documented through field surveys and literature reviews and are evaluated in a comparative study. This study is primarily based on the field surveys that determined in-situ conditions about villages. Villages are settlements that are isolated from the center and have limited transportation possibilities. Moreover, many people migrated to cities from the villages due to limitations of education and employment, resulting in the dilapidation of many of the houses as no one live in them. Settlement has taken form in agreement with the topography; the houses have inclined towards the valley and the scenery. Olive cultivation and cattle breeding are the main sources of living. The mosque and laundry buildings are among the important buildings. It is seen that various interventions were made in the houses during the usage. The physical sustainability of the houses must be ensured in integration with sustainable social, economic, and living conditions. The following measures seem appropriate: the houses should be adapted for current living conditions; a technical contribution should be made during the repair work; and the houses should be expropriated and utilized for touristic functions. The maintenance of villages should be evaluated in the context of rural development. Furthermore, production and marketing possibilities should be developed, and welfare activities should be increased. Finally, ecotourism as a means in rural development should be considered.

K�rsal mimari ve bu mimari karakteri yans�tan yerle�imler koruma disiplininde �nemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu �al��ma kapsam�nda �zmir ili Bay�nd�r il�esi Zeytinova beldesine ba�l� �� k�y, Karahay�t, Gaziler, Kabaa�a��n mimari dokusu incelenerek de�erlendirilmekte, k�ylerin gelece�ine y�nelik �neriler sunulmaktad�r. K�yler alan �al��malar� ve literat�r ara�t�rmalar� ile belgelenerek, kar��la�t�rmal� y�ntem ile de�erlendirilmektedir. Ancak �al��man�n temelini k�ylere ili�kin yerinde tespitlerin yap�ld�� alan �al��malar� olu�turmaktad�r. �rneklenen k�yler, merkezden bir �l��de izole, ula��m olanaklar�n�n s�n�rl� oldu�u yerle�imlerdir. Bu y�zden k�y halk� kendi i�ine kapal� bir ya�am s�rd�rmektedir. Bununla birlikte, e�itim ve i� olanaklar�n�n k�s�tl�l�� k�yden g��e neden olmu�, bu durum da evlerin bir�o�unun ya�amad��ndan h�zla y�pranmas� sonucunu do�urmu�tur. Yerle�im topografyaya uyumlu olarak �ekillenmi�, evler vadiye ve manzaraya y�nelmi�tir. K�ylerde ba�l�ca ge�im kayna��n� zeytincilik ve hayvanc�l�k olu�turmaktad�r. �o�unlukla iki katl� evlerin g�r�ld�� bu k�ylerde alt kat ah�r, depo gibi ge�im kayna��n� olu�turan kaynaklara y�nelik hizmet mek�n� niteli�inde iken, �st kat ya�am kat�d�r. Evler y��ma ta� olup, d�� sofal� ve i� sofal� plan �emas� yans�t�rlar. K�ylerdeki �nemli yap�lar aras�nda cami, �ama��rhane ve f�r�n yap�lar� belirtilebilir. K�ylerdeki evlere s�re� i�inde s�n�rl� da olsa, �e�itli m�dahalelerin yap�ld�� g�r�lmektedir. K�ylerin s�rd�r�lebilirli�i a��s�ndan evlerin fiziksel s�rd�r�lebilirli�inin sosyal, ekonomik, ya�amsal s�rd�r�lebilirlik ile b�t�nle�ik olarak sa�lanmas� gerekmektedir. Bu ba�lamda evlerin g�ncel ya�am ko�ullar�na uygun duruma getirilmesi, onar�mlarda teknik katk� sa�lanmas�, kaderine terk edilmi� evlerin kamula�t�r�larak g�n�birlik turistik i�levler i�in de�erlendirilmesi uygun olacakt�r. K�ylerin ve evlerinin ya�at�lmas�n�n k�rsal kalk�nma ba�lam�nda de�erlendirilmesi, �retim ve pazarlama olanaklar�n�n geli�tirilmesi, refah d�zeyinin y�kseltilmesi gerekmektedir. K�rsal kalk�nmada eko-turizmin ara� olarak kullan�lmas� d��n�lebilir.
