Ayvacık and its surroundings, which have been chosen as living spaces by communities with different cultures throughout history due to their geographical advantages, are today a special region with many natural and cultural values. It is very common for rural settlements to have historical, archaeological, or natural values in the district, which has been inhabited continuously since the prehistoric ages. Büyükhüsun Village is one of these historical settlements in Ayvacık, where the traditional rural life continued. The rural architectural heritage, which is a reflection of human-nature interaction and has been transferred anonymously over the ages, reflects not only reflects the culture of life in the region but also the past social and economic factors behind it. In this study, not only the values that make up the architectural heritage such as settlement features, traditional building types, construction techniques, material use and building mastery, but also tangible and intangible heritage values are discussed with a holistic perspective. In contrast to other rural settlements which have been facing depopulation and immigration issues globally widespread, Büyükhüsun village is subject to remigration and population increase because of the growing interest of the population in big cities. It is seen that the demographic, social, and physical structure of the village is faced with the pressure of change due to this reverse migration. The most important indicators of the change in the physical structure that can be noticed more easily are the contemporary structures that are added to the traditional texture. This article aims to define the existing rural landscape values and discuss the physical and sociological threats faced by the settlement, which can be considered the primary step in carrying out an effective conservation action in the historical Büyükhüsun settlement, where the risk of loss of heritage values by entering the rural gentrification process is intensely felt.

Meşrutiyet sonrası dönüşen siyasi ikliminde ortaya çıkıp Cumhuriyet’in ilk yıllarında da devam eden Birinci Ulusal Mimarlık Akımı ya da o dönem yaşayanların verdikleri isimle “Milli Mimari Rönesansı”, betonarme, demir ve çelik gibi yeni inşaat malzemeleri ve teknikleri ile Klasik Osmanlı mimarisinden alınan kubbe, geniş çatı konsolları, kemer, portik, taçkapı gibi mimari unsurlar ile bezeme motiflerini birleştiren bir mimari biçimleniştir. 1910’larda başlayıp 1930’lara dek devam ettiği görülen Klasik Osmanlı mimarlığına dönüş özlemini yansıtan I. Ulusal Mimarlık Akımı’nın ulusçuluk idealleri içinde gelişen ideolojik ortamın bir dışa vurumu olduğu söylenebilir. Cumhuriyet’in kurulmasının ertesinde başkent olarak ilan edilen Ankara’da ve diğer Anadolu kentlerinde de Birinci Ulusal Mimarlık Akımının özelliklerini gösteren yapıların inşasına devam edildiği bilinmektedir. 1920’ler boyunca birçok Anadolu kasabasında akımın daha az tanınan özellikle de hükümet binası, belediye sarayı, okul, banka ve postane olarak kullanılan örneklerinin inşa edildiği bilinmektedir. Balıkesir’in Havran ilçesinde bulunan Belediye Hizmet Binası da bu akımının özelliklerini yansıtan taşrada inşa edilmiş tipik bir örnektir. Bu makalenin amacı; taşrada az sayıda bulunan Birinci Ulusal Mimarlık Akımının özellikleri ile inşa edilmiş bir kültür varlığı olan Havran Belediyesi’nin mimari özelliklerini ve kültürel değerlerini tanımlayıp, tarihsel süreçte gerçekleşen müdahaleleri ve yapıdaki dönemleri gözlenebilen izler ve mimari çizim, eski harita ya da fotoğraf, gazete haberleri gibi arşiv belgeleri ve analojik karşılaştırma ile yorumlayarak belgelemek ve korunması için önerileri tartışmaktır.
