One of the important aspects affecting the development of tourism is the perspective of locals and their reaction about the tourism. In the study, the opinions of locals were received about their perception for tourism and their participation trend to tourism activities in the settlement of Sille which is in an important culture tourism region connected to Konya. The data obtained by on-site survey method through 75 samples were analyzed .In consequence of the research; it is possible to say that Sille which is located in an important region of Turkey in terms of culture tourism has the suitable potential for alternative tourism and recreation with historical and cultural features of it and the economic effects of tourism are perceived in a more positive way by the locals.
“Architecture” is one of the tools that define sustainable cultural tourism. The sustainability of architecture which is an important source of culture is possible by conversation and restoration studies. It is observed that the most worn-out building group is residential buildings due to the lack of strict rules for historical settlements with this potential. A process based on the existence of traditional houses in historical settlements with their current function has been defined to be a tool, not a goal; particularly in cases where this becomes difficult. The Sille quarter which contains various cultural richness of Turkey and provides an adequate touristic axis for the province of Konya has been discussed. Fundamental decisions have been made to determine new functions that will define the model where functions other than residences will not cause transport capacity problems, social and cultural pressures; and prevent protected areas to become the decor of commercial activities.
