Women's behavior of appropriation in traditional houses: As an example of Zeytinlik Area in Giresun

The house is the woman's world, and each house has its own unique patterns of relationship and behavior. Self is not in a place or house itself; But rather in the sense of spaces and in the style of relations established with them. Women personalize the places where they live in. The most important point of self is acceptance and intention. Things that are voluntarily owned are accepted and personalized. The identity is formed with the possessors and they are defined by their possession. The differences in the content and form of the self-continuity process include the verbal expressions of the style of relationship that the residents of the house build with themselves and with others. Women are transforming the residence to reflect the identity and personality characteristics, and when this does not happen, the integration process regarding the living space becomes unhealthy and unsatisfying.
