Based on the foresight that the traces of some spatial
identity elements, which are observed to disappear with the passing of time in
Ayvalık, can be caught in Lesbos, the study is based on the search for
geographical and cultural continuity and a curiosity about how to transfer the
owned heritage. The first of the series is about Ayvalık and Lesbos
countryside. The main purpose of our study is to compare the villages in the
countryside of Ayvalık, one of the closest settlements to Greece, where the
Greeks lived for a while and which still preserve the typology and culture of
the said period to a certain extent, and the village settlements of Lesbos on
the opposite side; The aim is to reveal the potentials within the framework of
the rural development goal by analyzing how the similarities and relationships
manifest in the countryside.
