3.2.1. Analysis of Güzeloba Mosque in Terms of Configuration

As retrieved from the archives of Muratpa¸sa Municipality, the Güzeloba Mosque's layout plan includes only the mosque itself (Figure 10). The toilets and living quarters accommodating the mosque personnel, which is under construction in the north of the mosque, are not included in the layout plan, and the parking areas in the south and south-west of the mosque are not available.

When the floor plans were examined, we detected that the shops on the south side of the mosque were not included in the licensed architectural projects (Figure 11).

Figure 12 shows the south façade in the construction permit of the mosque and the current use. In the floor plans and sections of the construction permit, where the shops are located, there was Quran school for women, a condolence house, and a multi-purpose hall. Quran learning activities were taking place in a different part of the mosque.

During the architectural project in the Güzeloba mosque, it was observed that the market and glassware units had problems, such as loading goods, since no solution was offered for the service needs of the businesses. In addition, the expansion of the trade units towards the mosque garden could not be prevented, and the marketplace image was formed by the exhibition of the products sold up to the garden wall, causing a negative appearance in terms of urban aesthetics (Figure 13).
