Abstract

Knowledge about the socio-cultural situation, religious and administrative decisions, construction techniques and features such as traditional and living culture of past civilizations can only be maintained via cultural heritages left to the present day. However, this important heritage has been perishing day by day without even being documented due to reasons such as indifference, ignorance, wrong policies and decisions, and financial hardships. Within the scope of this study, the advantages and disadvantages of documentation via traditional, optical and photogrammetric methods researched on Mustafa Aga bath 'hamam', located in Tokat are presented. The data obtained is presented after a comparison with regard to the necessary equipment and team, effort and time spent, the cost and precision of the final product.
