“…Such density has been determinant in the shaping of paved streets and has caused separation of houses from the street with high walls (Aluclu and Özyılmaz, 2012). As the streets in the city have been developed on the northsouth and eastwest axis, it has been kept open to cool winds coming from the north, providing natural ventilation (Baran et al, 2011).…”

“…Dead-end streets emerged due Three-dimensional complex forms, such as bridgelike passages connecting one building to another or rooms connecting one part of a building to another, (Baran et al, 2011) prevent the formation of a dead-end, while rooms are constructed 'above the street'. These are called locally "örtme (kabaltı)" or "kantırma".…”

“…Regulatory practices such as the optimum use principal, urban planning with priority given to pedestrians and designs for disabled persons are important in terms of improving the transportation system in Suriçi (Baran et al, 2011). While priority is given to pedestrians, car traffic should not be excluded and a transportation system balancing pedestrian and car traffic should be targeted.…”

As is known, transportation is an indispensable part of social life. Especially, transportation systems are used directly or indirectly in order to meet social necessities. In this sense, this study, taking into account traditional street patterns, elaborates on the structure of today's streets within the context of its relationship with areas allocated to public use. As human activity increases in urban areas, demand for transportation increases. It is possible to overcome difficulties faced in this respect by planning transportation and by developing an effective transportation system. Despite the fact that preferred areas by city dwellers change over time in line with new trends and development of shopping malls, Suriçi retains its population density and touristic value. This study aims to make a contribution to the literature on the relationship between transportation and social areas and the importance of preservation of street pattern in the city's traditional centre.

“…Meanwhile, more effort is devoted to using such strategies in local and traditional architecture in modern buildings [3][4][5]. For a long period of time, buildings and climatic strategies have been constructed based on trial and error for local and traditional buildings; however, these experiences are going to be forgotten [6,7].…”

Influence of Iwans on the Thermal Comfort of Talar Rooms in the Traditional Houses: A Study in Shiraz, Iran

In traditional buildings many climatic strategies have been used to provide indoor thermal comfort in south and central parts of Iran. A common element is called an iwan. This study investigates the indoor thermal comfort of a room adjoined to a talar in a traditional house which has an iwan, in Shiraz, Iran. The data related to the temperature and relative humidity of the room are used to calculate the thermal comfort index of PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) and PPD (Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied) by considering the following two cases: a talar room with an iwan and one without an iwan, by means of DesignBuilder software. For the purpose of validation, the air temperature and relative humidity of the talar room with an iwan were measured over 10 days and compared to the results of the simulation. Having a valid simulation, computation was conducted for the selected house in various cases for an annual passive operation of calculating PMV and PPD. The numerical results revealed that the talar room adjoined to an iwan located in the south front of the courtyard had relatively good conditions during the hot months, including June and July. In addition, it could provide fully satisfactory comfort conditions during August and September. According to the results, it is found that the iwan makes a talar room 62% more desirable for the hot months in comparison with a talar room without an iwan.

“…Heritage city along with its landscapes is an essential unification in city planning [5] [10], for it has considered nature in its planning since past times, which is currently known as the concept of ecological design [2] [3]. Cultural and ecological values in a traditional landscape are strongly attached to the community life [9].…”
