the Greeks. Their daily language changed as Greek. Due to 
economical, political and educational reasons, the young 
population of the village left their original settlements. Today, 
there is a group of Maronites who are above the middle age and 
dealing with farming and herdsman ship. The Maronites living 
in Koru9am consist of 70 families and nearly 150 people. The 
age distribution of the Maronite community living in Koru9am 
changes between 50 and 80. The young individuals come near 
their families either weekends or summer holiday. By this way 
the family members live separate through out the week and 
come together at the weekends and in the summer months. 
The Maronite inhabitants in Koru9am provide their living by 
agricultural and cattle dealing. While selling the products, 
growing on the yield lands, they use some portion of it for their 
basic needs. By this way, they provide their profits. Carob, 
wheat and olives are the main products. They obtain molasses 
from carob, boiled and pounded wheat, flour and starch from 
wheat and oil from olives at all of the gardens of the Maronite 
houses in Koru9am. There are also ovens and areas for 
vegetables in their gardens. Because of that, villagers provide 
their own basic foods by themselves and prepare their bread at 
the oven. They make cattle dealing and they deal with the sheep 
as well. The shelter of the animals and their food storages are 
located on Western planes of the village. Because of this, there 
is no possibility of coinciding with any animal shelter inside the 
village. In addition, hunting is done in certain periods around 
the village. The villagers make their own ‘Helloumi’ cheese by 
getting milk from their animals. In addition, the villagers either 
provide an extra small room or a separate room inside the house 
for storing their own food. Preparation of the food and on the 
other hand handworks of their culture is done by the women of 
the village. Also each Sunday, a religious ceremony is realized 
by the villagers and the young Maronites who come to visit 
their families. 
TYPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS 
The grouping of the objects that are found randomly, in certain 
rules and logic supports the basis of this analysis. Organisation 
of site lay out, relation of the entrance of the house with Main 
Street, house relation with neighbourhood, form and plan of the 
main building units were investigated with typological analysis. 
Typological analysis of organization of site lay out 
The location of the house on the site was investigated. 10 
different configurations were found. While the exterior frame 
makes clear the border of the site, the black rectangle shows the 
area of the house. The other pointed region represents the outer 
space, in other words, the garden or the courtyard of the house.

Typological analysis relationship of the house entrance with 
the main street 
The relationship of the house entrance with the street was 
examined. In Koru9am Village housing and street connection 
are two types. These are either connection with the street 
directly (public space-private space connection) or street- 
garden- house relation (public-semi public-private connections). 
Typological analysis of house relation with neighbourhood 
End of this analysis, 7 different configurations were found. The 
white region shows the house and the black region shows the 
attached adjacent houses. Table2.
