Historic towns and historic buildings are important witnesses of the past cultures and
civilizations. Their sustainability and transfer to the next generations require
continuous maintenance and repair interventions which should be compatible with
their original construction techniques, details and materials. In order to define proper
interventions to a historic building, it is necessary to understand how and from what
it is built. Therefore, traditional construction materials, detailings and techniques
should be well understood prior to any kind of intervention to a historic building. The
objective of this study is, first of all, to provide a body of knowledge on traditional
construction process and techniques / then, to store, structure, process, represent and
share this knowledge in a systematic and controlled way by means of a web based
GIS portal.
In this respect, traditional timber framed houses of Tarakli in Sakarya has been
chosen as the case study, on account of being one of the significant historical towns
in our country where the tissue together with historical building is still conserved.
For this study, among the applications of GIS technology, Web-based GIS has been
determined as the most effective and functional tool in order to develop an online
information portal for storing, displaying the collected raw data and sharing with
other users as utilizable information.
