The migration from villages to cities depending on decrease in agricultural economy and changes in living conditions leads to the non-use and rapid disappearance of the traditional houses in rural areas. In this context, development of models to document the buildings concerned and to conserve them through preservation is gradually becoming more and more important The Yukarı Bozkır Village, located at a distance of 9 km to Turgutlu on the road of Turgutlu-Ören-Karaköy, out of the mountain villages affiliated to Turgutlu district of Manisa is addressed in this study. Houses make up the generality of the buildings in the settlement, which is a Yuruk village and whose livelihood is based on agriculture and animal husbandry; furthermore, a mosque, a fountain and a coffee house are available. The houses are generally two storey and their downstairs qualifies as a stable and a depot while their upstairs as the living space. Houses with an outer sofa and a central sofa are seen as the main typology in the settlement. When construction system of the houses is investigated, we can see that some houses are masonry and some of them are composite (the downstairs is masonry, the upstairs is timber frame). Whereas some of the houses are constantly used, the majority are temporarily used and some are abandoned. This situation poses a threat to sustainability of the fabric. In addition, the unqualified interventions in traditional buildings and the inadequate level of sensitivity to the traditional in new constructions are among the reasons which damage the original identity. Partial reconstruction, the loss of the original architectural elements and alterations which are not faithful to originality can be stated within the scope of the interventions which causes loss of identity in the Houses of Yukarı Bozkır.The study encompasses the documentation of the settlement, its evaluation, and the development of proposals related to the fabric and single buildings for its future in the light of the fieldwork and the literature review.
