Abstract:

As with many areas of life, earthquakes have a significant impact on architecture. The city of Erzincan, which is built within the Erzincan hole on the active earthquake, has been forced to change and rebuild several times as a result of the great earthquakes in history. The 1939 earthquake, in the history of the Republic, has also had a leading impact on the rebuilding of today’s Erzincan city and the formation of a new city architecture. After the 1939 earthquake, the work of transportation of the city of Erzincan to the new settlement area (approximately 1.5-2 km north) began. and II. The negative atmosphere created by the World War and its political and economic reflections to our country have caused this process to be delayed, and in the framework of a certain construction plan, a more regular and modern city structure has also been created. In fact, in the architecture of the city, the earthquake sensitivity is held in the forefront and the houses are adopted as an important criterion to be earthquake-resistant. However, pavion houses designed to meet the housing needs that arise after the earthquake immediately remained below expectations in this regard. Oysaki prefabricated buildings have added a new understanding of the city architecture with their characteristics such as being one-storey and located within the garden, as well as being suitable for earthquake in terms of the used building materials and techniques. As a basic data source in the study, archive documents have been used with the information obtained from public institutions and previous studies. However, the information obtained from conversations with people who have lived in Erzincan for many years has also been placed in various places of work. The work was carried out for the department related to the houses. In this context, some examples of the pavion house and construction house that reached today in the city have been reviewed and photographed. All of these data and information obtained were analyzed and synthesized in the framework of the geographical thinking principles and the work in possession was created.
