Abstract

Traditional structures, which are historical documents, are subject to deterioration due to lack of regular maintenance, changes in function, and the effects of environmental conditions. In this research, indoor and outdoor humidity measurements were carried out in six traditional structures located in Petekli and Varkur villages of İspir district in Erzurum province, Turkey. The effect of humidity on structural deterioration was evaluated through on-site observation and documentation. The obtained indoor and outdoor relative humidity and temperature data obtained were analyzed within the context of the structures' location, usage, and environmental conditions; accordingly, the effect of ambient humidity on structural deterioration was analyzed. The findings show that humidity-induced deterioration in the examined structures is concentrated in the sections of the walls in contact with the ground and on the north and northeast facades, which receive less sunlight. Based on these results, identifying and controlling sources of humidity and implementing preventive interventions are crucial in conservation efforts.
