Özet
Spaces, present some clues about lifestyles within the framework of culture and space relationship, might be used for transferring cultural values to next generations. Dwellings in which most part of daily life is spent as a unit of a settlement provide us significant data concerning social changes and cultural history. In this study, Konya province, as an important centre in Anatolia due to its geographical location and historical presence, has been chosen as research area. The aim of the study is to detect the cultural codes, formed the lifestyle of the period between 19th and 21th centuries, and through an analysis of the cultural changes occurred in the dwellings. Four Konya dwellings reflecting the features of the period have been selected. The analysis was performed over these samples using cultural codes. As a first step, cultural behaviour patterns that reflect the lifestyles of the period were studied and cultural codes containing iconic graphic expressions were determined and a culture guide was prepared using these codes. Secondly, spatial analyses based on cultural codes were conducted on the selected dwellings and cultural function diagrams were prepared. Dwelling structures changings related with lifestyle/cultural structure were presented. As results of the analyses, the cultural codes of the sample dwellings were evaluated and it is observed that the courtyard and life activities in courtyard were lost in traditional Konya dwellings through historical process. Life in courtyard was converted to a limited garden life and then completely lost with closed spaces. This changing mark is one of the major differences between traditional and contemporary Konya dwellings. Besides, it is observed that some cultural values have been preserved intact until present, while some values have been survived with changes and others were completely lost.
