Özet

Cappadocia is one of the rare natural and cultural centers on earth with its fairy chimneys, underground cities, rock churches, stone buildings and natural beauties. Among these artifacts, Fertek and Hançerli Churches that are subjected to the scope of the study are very original buildings with their superior construction techniques and rich workmanship according to the period they were built. In this study, the architectural features of Fertek and Hançerli Churches which were built in the 19th century and located within Niğde province in the Cappadocia Region were examined and material deteriorations were determined. In the light of the determinations, the existing static properties of these buildings were examined using Dynamic Finite Element Analysis program. Discoloration, vegetation, crack formation, humidification and partial mortar and stone loss were detected in both churches. When the analysis results are evaluated it has been determined that the buildings need repair and conservation depending on the region and soil class and considering the earthquake forces.
