Architectural and Structural Features of 120 Stone Masonry Buildings in Urla Peninsula

This dataset presents architectural and structural characteristics of 120 stone masonry buildings in the Urla Peninsula, a significant part of Izmir province, Türkiye. It is expected that the documented files will support future risk assessment and classification studies. The dataset consists of one excel file and 120 photographs formatted in jpg and jpeg. Each building, labeled from SMB-1 to SMB-120, is represented with a set of 15 parameters and one representative photograph. The data were compiled through on-site surveys in the districts of Urla, Çeşme, Karaburun, Güzelbahçe and Seferihisar, including information on neighborhood, building age, primary use, structural system type, mortar material, number of storeys, plan typology, footprint area, maximum wall height, wall thickness, floor type, roof type, bond beam type, and observed damage condition. The buildings reflect a variety of traditional masonry typologies commonly found in rural and semi-urban settlements. The dataset aims to provide a foundational resource for researchers and practitioners working on structural vulnerability analysis, rapid screening methodologies, and conservation strategies for traditional masonry structures. This research was supported by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TUBITAK) under the grant number 124M705 and Scientific Research Department of İzmir Institute of Technology (Project No: 2024IYTE-2-0019). The permit (No. E-49793024-150.05-744928) granted by the General Directorate of Foundations of Türkiye is also acknowledged. Authors are also grateful to local authorities of Çamlı, Bozköy, Germiyan, Yağcılar neighborhoods and appreciate the warm welcome of local inhabitants during site surveys.
