dc.description.abstractAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Cappadocia is a region in Türkiye famous for its volcanic landscape and cave houses. For thousands of years, human settlements have developed in harmony with the nature of the region. However, due to the increasing demand for tourism in the region, cave houses have been converted into hotels, and the unique texture of the region is under threat due to wrong design applications. Biophilic design is a design approach that aims to design places that harmonize with the natural environment by integrating nature and natural processes into the design. The ongoing problem of the Cappadocia region reveals the importance of biophilic design. The research aims to develop a harmonious interior design strategy that integrates with the natural environment, cultural texture, and characteristics of the region, instead of designs made without considering the environment of Cappadocia. In this context, this thesis investigates the potential of biophilic design in creating spaces that are compatible with the natural and cultural texture of Cappadocia and preserving these textures, and its potential application to the interior of a cave hotel. 4 Acknowledgement I would like to express my gratitude to my first advisor Prof. Amara Goodwin and my second examiner Prof. Yüksel Pöğün-Zander, who guided me with their valuable feedback throughout the research process. I would also like to express my gratitude to my family for their unconditional support, love, encouragement and sacrifices. 5en
