Jurt is a term that commonly refers to a traditional dwelling or shelter used by nomadic people in Central Asia, particularly by the Turkic and Mongolian ethnic groups. This portable structure is typically made of a wooden framework and covered with animal skins or felt material. The word "jurt" originates from the Turkic language and is also known as "ger" in Mongolian.
A jurt is circular in shape, characterized by a domed roof, offering stability and strength against harsh weather conditions such as strong winds and heavy snowfall. The frame structure is supported by wooden poles, arranged in a lattice pattern, which provides flexibility and ease of construction and dismantlement. The outer coverings of the jurt are typically made of felt, secured by ropes or animal sinews, creating a weatherproof barrier.
Inside the jurt, there are various functional areas designated for different purposes. The central space often serves as a communal living area, with a fireplace at the center for cooking and heating. Around the inner circumference, divisions may be made for sleeping quarters, storage spaces, and other domestic activities.
Due to its portability and adaptability to different terrains, the jurt has been an essential part of the nomadic lifestyle. It allows nomadic communities to maintain their mobile way of life, following seasonal pasture patterns and transportation needs. In recent times, jurt-like structures have also been popularized as forms of tourist accommodation, providing an immersive and rustic experience in the recreational and eco-tourism sectors.
