Although the architectural integrity of the building is partially preserved, material deterioration and structural deformations are observed especially on the west and north walls. Since the monument is one of the few examples of architectural and structural integrity that still exists, it should be included in the architectural preservation program as soon as possible before it loses its structural integrity. Accurate identification of the causes and types of degradation is of great importance in designing conservation interventions. In this study, it is aimed to detect and document the stone material deterioration of Mersin Aba mausoleum, which is a great necessity for the sustainability of cultural heritage, by using UAV photogrammetry. UAV photogrammetry and mapping techniques were used as a method in the study. The data obtained as a result of the study show that, thanks to their high resolution, a deterioration map can be created for the detection of material deterioration and restoration analysis quickly and easily. In addition, as a result of the study, it is seen that the most common types of stone material deterioration in the building are surface pollution, cracks and exfoliation. According to this result, it is seen that even the types of material problems based on the smallest detail can be determined based on virtual visual inspection, thanks to UAV photogrammetry, without observing the structure on-site with UAVs.</p> ER -
