Özet:

The cultural geography deals with the diversity of the activities of cultural groups on the site and the characteristic cultural objects that these activities present. In this regard, the traditional structures in the cities and the traditional city textures that these structures present are characteristic cultural values addressed within the framework of cultural geography. At this point, the traditional city texture is expressed as the human appearance of the architectural objects that communities build in the cities for various purposes. This appearance shows an original tissue in the cities that is synthesized in a modern and traditional sense, connected to cultural and geographical conditions. The cities have also been considered as important material cultural assets that reflect the geographical, cultural and social way of life of civilizations that have lived throughout history. Especially in the last century, the traditional city fabric and the architectural objects that formed this fabric have become a rare part of the new world cities with a single-type appearance of concrete structures. Due to its geographical location, Gaziantep is a city that has hosted many civilizations in the historical process and has managed to hold different traditional architectural objects within it. These objects, which are the work of cultural and geographical conditions, have given the city a traditional textile character. The study was carried out to identify the geographical potential and effects of traditional architectural objects located in Gaziantep on the urban tissue and to put the change in the urban tissue in the historic process on the forefront. A visual scan model was used to reveal the existing situation in the study. In this context, the objects that make up the traditional urban texture in Gaziantep are studied and classified taking into account the socio-cultural and geographical values, historical, religious and economic factors they carry within the cause-resultate relationship. The designated architectural objects have been addressed under four titles, including historical and religious architectural texts, traditional houses, houses and cottages, historical and cultural roads, streets, neighborhoods and streets, traditions where traditional activities are held (houses, squares, bedestines). Recommendations have been made to ensure the sustainability of historical and cultural assets and to be transferred to future generations.
