Summary/Abstract: The place, which tries to accurately describe the character of the countryside from past to present, is the product of geography. Considering the geographical and climatic characteristics of Anatolia, the local architecture and traditional housing texture form the cultural pattern of the place. Rural settlements, shaped by the physical environment and their unique lifestyle, reflect the cultural mosaic of Anatolia. The settlements, which differ from region to region and even from village to village in the same region, are shaped by topographic structure, physical and cultural conditions. In the rural life, which represents an area that is compatible with cultural values, where natural conditions are evident, the concept of habitus, which is fed by the relationship that people establish with place, appears. The word habitus has many conceptual meanings, factual content and effects, including sociological, economic and cultural, which are very closely related to social life. Bourdieu's concept of habitus expresses the basic stock of knowledge that people have in their minds as a result of belonging to certain cultures and adopting the values of that culture. In this context, the culture of space nourished by historical details and common memory creates habitus with common belonging, architectural texture and cultural identity. In the light of the information given, the aim of the study is to evaluate the cultural adaptation of the house in the context of rural aesthetics in the synthesis of habitus and space of Ormana district located in Akseki-İbradı Basin. In this context, in the study, the boundaries of habitus were drawn in the sociological theme of the countryside and it was concluded that cultural heritage had an effect on traditional house architecture.
