Vernacular architecture constitutes an important part of the cultural heritage of each country. This paper deals with the creation of a digital database including all the traditional settlements and dwellings of Cyprus, which is a part of a research programme funded by the University of Cyprus. This database constitutes the first all encompassing effort for the inclusion of all the available data of the traditional settlements of the island in a digital form. The object of the research programme is the creation of a multiple database with the inclusion of architectural and town planning elements of traditional settlements, environmental comfort conditions and social and economic data. The research of vernacular architecture that can be carried out through this database can help towards its preservation and reuse leading to a more sustainable development of the built environment.
