<strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Hydrology</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Balneology</strong>: <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Aspects</strong><br />

Conclusions<br />

The spatio-cultural sustainability of Turkish Baths had begun in the Middle Age<br />

<strong>and</strong> has continued until today. Turkish Baths being located both in modern <strong>and</strong><br />

historical buildings, continue to live by being integrated to those buildings. Besides<br />

its architectural beauty <strong>and</strong> its spatial diversity; the main reasons of that continuation<br />

is, the possibility of using those spaces due to the thermal cure perspective of<br />

the today’s world. The locational sustainability of the Turkish Bath has to continue<br />

also in the future since it is the only building which successfuly maintained the bath<br />

tradition that begun in the Antique Age until today.<br />
