Özet:

In its thousands of years of geography, Cyprus has hosted many civilizations and has hosted many cultural architectural heritage structures from the past periods to the present day. Especially the capital Lefkoşa has been one of the important cities, with the architectural textures that carry the effects of the different periods in which it has been housed during the historical process. The historic heritage structures that form architectural textures such as cathedrals, mosques, churches, palaces, municipal markets, houses, houses and houses, located in the Lefkoşa district, are among numerous values worldwide and affect the lives of the island people in many different aspects, such as sociological, cultural, economic, political. Thro history, the important trade routes of the Eastern Mediterranean have passed through the Cyprus island, and the stops of people who are here and trade in the island have generated the need for accommodation, and the construction and use of the housing structures on the island has begun to gain importance. The great Han, which is magnificent in these structures, is one of the important historical works that can come from the Ottoman era to today.  The Great Han also took part in the destruction that time, man and nature gave, like all historical buildings. After many years of restoration work in order to fix structural damage, Han has participated in various functions aimed at rehabing the building that has become present and renovated. In the past, in the places where people stay at night, there are art workshops now, in the inner gardens and rooms on the ground floor, there have been radical changes in the functions such as the organization of concerts and exhibitions today. All the changes that the building has experienced both physically and functionally have removed the Great Han from becoming a high-value historic building of any cultural heritage, while also providing a new life to the city, making it a figure that feeds society, social and cultural, and making it a symbol of the city. Since the first day of its construction, the great Han, which has been part of many generations’ lives on the island, in the reuse adaptation, which is the right way to reach the future generations, the form of application and the implementation resulting from the socio-cultural sustainable effects on the building and society, has become one of the important foundations of this work. The reuse adaptation, the structures of cultural heritage, which have been used in different periods of the historical process, has brought together the old and new architectural concepts and provides reuse with the new functions determined by preserving the authentic character of the structure. In this context, according to the research conducted, the Great Han structure has also been used throughout history and has other functions, independently of the main function of the building. Parallel to all of this, in the methods used in the study, in the first stage, archive documents and literary scans aimed at learning the architectural characteristics and historical history of the original structure were conducted in parallel with the interview with the ancient people of the region. For the identification of the current use of the house, an analysis and observation, photography and trade interview was also made and the basic methodology of the article was created. With these, detections were made in today's use, tables were created according to its new function and spatial classifications were made. These tables identify functional typologies, transferred to architectural drawings, photographed and analyzed in aesthetic and functional context.
