THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RESILIENT SETTLEMENT

AND CONSTRUCTION AND SUSTAINABILITY

Elif Özlem AYDIN

ABSTRACT
The need for resilient settlement models that are sensitive to the environmental
and climate problems we live in today, focused on reducing ecological
footprints, is increasing with each passing day. In this study, the concept
of resilient settlement is described, and the transformations experienced
due to critical periods, which can be described as "revolution" based on
the productions that human beings consider beneficial for themselves, are
explained. The settlements shaped by the impact of these revolutions and
the level of environmental impact of the building constructions in these
settlements and the importance of sustainable building and planning are
emphasized. The ecologically resistant aspects of historical textures in
Anatolia, which have survived for centuries as a settlement lands and are
still important settlement centers, are emphasized. Considering the resistant
aspects that make traditional textures superior in their survival, how we can
be articulated with traditional textures and how new resistant and sustainable
settlements of the future can be constructed were discussed.
