Historical buildings are our cultural heritages that transfer the social, cultural, and economic accumulation of past generations to the present. It is only possible to transfer the information and accumulation by protecting them. Historic buildings worth protecting may lose their functions and remain idle in time, with changing conditions. One of the procedures for the protection of historic buildings that are dysfunctional is to make the building a usable place for today's needs. The re-use in conservation methods is an approach that enables the building to continue to live while preserving its historical value and to respond to today's needs. Another situation that is as important as preserving the historical structure in the re-using of the historical buildings is that the building can provide the spatial comfort of its new user. Providing this comfort is possible by providing ergonomic requirements in the space.
With this study, the furniture used in the historical space after the re-using will be examined in terms of providing the ergonomic conditions, and the questionnaires applied on ergonomics regarding, the user satisfaction with the user of the space will be evaluated. In this way, in accordance with the data obtained, an evaluation will be made about whether the furniture in the space is ergonomically suitable or not. For the study; various historical buildings have been selected in the province of Edirne.
