Summary/Abstract: The Black Sea is in the north of the Eastern Black Sea Region and the northern Anatolian mountains in the south. Region has a narrow coastline starting from Giresun to Sarp border gate, lush forests, deep valleys and steep slopes. In the region precipitation is seen almost throughout the year. People in this region with their unique climate and geographical conditions have been searching for innovative and functional solutions to their problems from the past to the present day and have created unique solutions in this direction. One of these solutions is architectural solutions in traditional Eastern Black Sea structures in rural areas. By arranging the materials in the region in a simple but functional way, need-based structures have been formed. It is remarkable that, these structures can protect the integrity of themselves by withstanding the climatic conditions, landslide-induced earthquakes, time and wrong interventions. The subject of this study is researching the traditional structure of Eastern Black Sea’s vernacular architecture. In this context, examples of buildings in the Yücehisar (Çarişka ith old name) village of Pazar district of Rize have been examined. The fact that new construction in the region is scarce and that it continues to be used seasonally with the existing structures of traditional buildings, increases the importance of this area. Selected examples of buildings in this area have been found suitable for researching criteria because of minimal intervention and structural integrity.
