Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the courtyard designs of Cumalıkızık houses, which have been on the UNESCO World Heritage List
since 2014 due to their architectural and historical fabric. Traditional houses represent centuries old culture, reflecting the lifestyle
of the Turkish society. Nine main parameters were considered in the scope of the study, including the plan types, reinforcement
elements, activity elements, flooring elements, water elements, lighting elements, overhead cover elements, courtyard walls, and
types of landscape plants. A checklist composed of above parameters was developed in line with the designs of traditional houses
in Cumalıkızık village of Bursa. Study method included the development of the check list along with a review of books, magazines,
and Google database. On-site observations were made as regards field study and photographing activity. As a result of the field
study, particular designs, which were remarkable for the vital activities and the privacy of the users in the courtyards of the
Cumalıkızık houses were selected for further investigation.
