Defining the Adaptive Reuse of Traditional Houses for Tourism Purposes Through Multi-Choice Process: Türkiye-Konya/Sille Example

“Architecture” is one of the tools that define sustainable cultural tourism. The sustainability of architecture which is an important source of culture is possible by conversation and restoration studies. It is observed that the most worn-out building group is residential buildings due to the lack of strict rules for historical settlements with this potential. A process based on the existence of traditional houses in historical settlements with their current function has been defined to be a tool, not a goal; particularly in cases where this becomes difficult. The Sille quarter which contains various cultural richness of Turkey and provides an adequate touristic axis for the province of Konya has been discussed. Fundamental decisions have been made to determine new functions that will define the model where functions other than residences will not cause transport capacity problems, social and cultural pressures; and prevent protected areas to become the decor of commercial activities.
