Vernacular settlement examples are guides that bring the originality of the region and its structural and vital experiences to the present. At the same time, they are ecological and sustainable structures with appropriate solutions suitable for environmental, cultural and economic conditions. Therefore, examples of vernacular architecture found in different regions should be studied and interpreted in depth. In this study, the effect of local data on rural settlements and the close relationship of vernacular architecture with sustainability were examined in Bingöl rural settlements in Turkey. With this research, the decreasing vernacular architectural examples in the region will be documented and recorded. In addition, the analyses performed in the study can be used as a data source for new residential areas. In the study, sustainability principles and vernacular architecture principles compiled from the literature were developed in a single diagram, taking into account common strategies. The study area has been analysed based on the main and sub criteria, taking into account the environmental, socio-cultural and socio-economic dimensions of sustainability. Data obtained from field research, measurements, sketches, observations and interviews with local people were conveyed by supporting schematic expressions.
