    Traditional building formations of apiaries in the antalya province in turkey [Tradicijska graditeljska forma pèelinjaka u pokrajini antaliji u turskoj]
    (2013) Uysal M.; Arat Y.
    In this paper, "bee yards" are studied in view of the relationship between vernacular architecture and biomimicry. The bee yards, as architectural forms of vernacular architecture for animals, are located around Elmali{dotless} district of Antalya. This study aims to investigate how much the natural elements and ecological system of the honey bee affect the formation of bee yards. Analyses of biomimicry measures (on the organism level, behavior level, and ecosystem level) as determined by Maibritt Pedersen Zari in 2007 were conducted in order to illustrate this phenomenon.

    Vernacular architectural heritage of turkish folk culture "Beeyards" [Türk halk kültürünün yerel mi?mari? mi?rasi "ari serenleri?"]
    (Milli Folklor Dergisi, 2014) Uysal M.; Arat Y.
    Agriculture is the most important factor for mankind as it started the transition from sedentary lifestyle to nomadic lifestyle. Humans learned to take honey from the natural haunt of honeybees when they were gatherers. The Bo?azköy excavations in Anatolia showed that apiculture was an important agricultural activity during the Hittites in 1300 B.C. It is determined that Turks used honey and honey products and accepted it as medicine and healing food during their nomadic period. The real aim to build shelters for honeybees is attaining protection from natural effects and animal harms. The "Ari{dotless} Serenleri (Bee Yards)" that have a unique formation as architectural elements are located in Sö?le Plateau in Elmali{dotless} County of Antalya city in Turkey. Except these examples similar architectural formations are observed in some regions of the Taurus mountains in Anatolia. The architectural formation of bee yards was based on antique facts (Lykia graves), in many researches however this situation determined from the formal similarity does not seem realistic. Every society has its unique architectural formations based on nature. In this study, we have aimed at using previously neglected structural, local and oral sources for making a novel architectural documentation that does not exist in literature. In this context, it is asserted that the structural similarities discussed in earlier studies remain invalis since these structures are architectural elements of local culture. The applied method includes; a comprehensive literature review, gathering and evaluating etymological information on the use of the word "seren", and documentation work undertaken at the site (interviews, reliefs and photographing) and finally the studying of these architectural formations in view of the gathered data. As a result of our study, it is determined that the architectural formation of bee yards were based on vernacular models for supplying the needs of settlers and the similarities with Lycian tombs were not based on objective, scientific grounds. Moreover, it was also discovered that the tradition of constructing bee yards came to an end during 1960s and there were no builders that build bee yards. It was observed that only one bee yard remained in use and others were both structurally and functionally in very poor condition as well as these architectural elements of vernacular folk culture would be preserved.
