Summary/Abstract: It is the common duty of all societies to protect and ensure the sustainability of traditional houses, which act as a bridge between the past, present and future, and to pass them on to future generations. At this point, reuse is one of the most effective ways to keep traditional houses alive, just like all other historical buildings. Nowadays, traditional houses are given new functions, but the user satisfaction resulting from the usage process and interaction with the user is not monitored. Within the scope of the study, it is aimed to evaluate the interaction of traditional houses with the user after refunctioning, through online comments made for the traditional houses (Mehmet Efendi Mansion and Timurciler Mansion) in Trabzon Ortamahalle, which were expropriated and opened for use with new functions. For this purpose, the study was structured in five stages. The first stage is to conduct literature research on the subject, the second stage is to visit the study area and obtain spatial and visual data, the third stage is to obtain online comments via Google Maps, and the fourth stage is to conduct content analysis of the comments obtained through the Maxqda program. The fifth stage is the grouping of frequently used words and the comparison of Timurciler Mansion and Mehmet Efendi Mansion. As a result of the study, the place of online comments in defining the structure in the interaction of traditional houses with the user after re-functioning, user satisfaction and similar-differentiating aspects of traditional houses used for different functions in terms of users were revealed. In this way, it is thought that improvements can be made at the missing points in line with the usage satisfaction level of the building and contribute to the sustainable use of the building.
