Comparison of Traditional and Modern Housing Designs Under The Influence of Global Climate Change (Talas Example)

Abstract

All over the world, climates are changing due to various reasons, and there is an increase in natural disasters. Increasing disasters bring economic, social and environmental losses along with loss of life. It is important to study the disaster architecture and develop recommendations due to climate change in countries such as Turkey, where the construction sector is constantly dynamic and developing. The aim of study is to evaluate traditional and modern housing properties in terms of climate resistance and to make housing design proposals to prevent the damage caused by disasters to structures. The scope of the study consists of the Talas district, Kayseri, which has become the center of Central Anatolia. The high rate of housing production, the frequent occurrence of natural disasters in recent years, and the greater damage to newly designed houses from disasters have been effective in determining the study sample area. The study was conducted to investigate the effects of disaster resilience, stability, concept and building elements in architecture.
