Özet:  In Turkish culture, garden is a shared area with functional parts, which is shaped as a result of the reflections of culture to space. This formation has become more important with transition to social life and has led to the formation of different spatial arrangements in garden areas. The most important determining characteristic of a traditional Turkish house is that it is usually located in a courtyard or a garden.  However, due to developing technology and increasing population, houses with these features have gradually decreased and they have begun to lose their original characteristics. In terms of transferring the national consciousness to the future generations, it is very important to ensure preservation and sustainability of traditional Turkish house gardens, which will enable access to historical and cultural accumulation and to create gardens with these qualities today. For this purpose; within the scope of the study, the concept of garden, its history, plan features and structural elements were specified and features of traditional Turkish house gardens of 19th century in Sivas-Gürün district were examined. The research emphasizes the change these characteristics experienced over time. As a result, the necessity of transferring the original qualities of the gardens to future generations and preserving traditional qualities were explained.
