Circassian Houses as a Symbol of Culture with Their Similarities and Differences from Caucasus to Anatolia

Summary/Abstract: Circassian immigrants who were expelled from their homelands by Russian occupation of their homeland between 1856 and 1864 were placed in the Balkans and various parts of Anatolia by being accepted by the Ottoman State along with other Caucasian nations. The Ottoman State has also endeavored to allocate lands with climate conditions similar to those of the Caucasus, due to their familiarity with the climate of the Caucasus, taking into account the conditions of the land, settlement and population for the immigrants. The Circassian immigrants who migrated according to the conditions of the Ottomans helped the Ottoman Empire to the extent that the conditions for the construction of the dwellings for which they live will last. For example, the construction of the homes of the Circassians who came between 1856-1859 was undertaken by the State, the ones who could make money after 1859 had built their own houses and the construction costs of the houses of the needy were again covered by the Ottoman State. In our paper we will try to evaluate the transformation of the Circassians who migrated from the Caucasus to the Anatolia through the similarities and differences in their homes in their homeland and later in Anatolia.
