Abstract :It is important for preserving our cultural heritage to ensure the social and cultural sustainability of historical buildings and hand down them to the next generations. Functioning historical buildings by protecting them also increases circulation to those structures and ensures that they are handed down to the future. In this study, the social sustainability of the Seljuk Bath and Ali Aydın House, located in the ancient city of Stratonikeia, were examined. The tracing method, which is a qualitative research method, was used in the study. While ensuring the sustainability of the buildings, the issue was also considered together with the historical environment they are in and a performance evaluation was conducted within the context of the historical environment. Since the bath and residential structures are both in the ancient city and both have become original structures, this study contributes to the literature on holistic conservation and sustainability of historical buildings.
