| Sumario: | Village rooms are considered within the folk architecture in Anatolia. These
rooms, which have an important place in village culture, are sometimes located
near houses, sometimes in village squares and sometimes near mosques. Being
one of the symbols of hospitality, the rooms are also one of the indispensable
elements of social and cultural life in the countryside. The origin of the village
rooms in Anatolia is based on the spatial characteristics of the core unit “room”
in the Turkish House, which is based on the “dormitory type tent”. The Turks
carried this tradition, which was continued in Central Asia, to Anatolia, and
this tradition continued by taking into account the great care given to guests
and hospitality along with the religion of Islam in verses and hadiths. Hosting
guests by local residents and dignitaries has been considered as a religious
service and social prestige, and it has become a competition to build rooms and
entertain guests. In this study, it was determined that most of the village rooms
identified in the villages of Altıntaş district were abandoned and dysfunctional.
Village rooms, which symbolize hospitality, unity and solidarity, which started
in Central Asia and moved to Anatolia, are the center of cultural and social
life and are structures where intangible cultural heritage is embodied. The
non-functioning of these structures today is a proof that we cannot claim this
heritage. |
