Mardin hosts a rich archaeological and cultural heritage in Southeastern Anatolia. Although systematic archaeological research in the region began in the 1960s, the first excavations were not conducted until the 1980s. Subsequently, research was carried out under constrained conditions for many years; however, from 2005 onwards, extensive investigations commenced in Mardin and its districts as part of hydroelectric dam projects, with the collaboration of the Artuklu University's Department of Archaeology and Art History, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, museum directorates, and other researchers. This study examines the ministry and rescue excavations, as well as inventory studies, focusing primarily on Anatolian archaeology, particularly that of Southeastern Anatolia and the province of Mardin. The findings of these investigations underscore the historical and cultural significance of the region's archaeological remains, demonstrating that Mardin has been home to various cultures from prehistoric to the Islamic periods. However, these scholarly investigations and excavations have also brought to light the damage inflicted on archaeological sites due to dam constructions, uncontrolled infrastructure developments, illegal excavations, and natural causes. Consequently, it is anticipated that this research will provide a meaningful contribution to academic discourse in the fields of cultural heritage and humanities. It calls for heightened awareness and conscientious efforts to preserve the values that will be bequeathed to future generations, emphasizing once again the critical importance of protecting these cultural assets.

The purpose of this study is to document the current status of historical fountains located in the town center of Karacasu district in Aydın province and to make recommendations for their restoration. Within the scope of the study, a fountain located in the town center and one within the Afrodisias ancient city were examined. An analysis of a total of eleven fountains dating back to the Ottoman period was conducted. Surveys of the fountains built between the 15th and 20th centuries were taken, and their existing conditions were drawn in plan and elevation views using AutoCAD drawing software. As a result of the examination, it was determined that all fountains were constructed with a single facade. Three of the fountains with simple facade arrangements have undergone restoration. It was found that these fountains were reconstructed deviating from their original designs. One fountain is completely ruined. It was observed that historical fountains, which have survived to the present day, are in a state of disuse and are at risk of disappearing due to neglect and loss of function. Documenting the current status of fountains that convey the cultural heritage of cities is important for preserving these resources for future generations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the development of archeological tourism in Türkiye since the establishment of the Republic is discussed with data and comments: Türkiye, which is among the richest regions of the world in terms of archaeological heritage, is today one of the leading countries in tourism on a global scale. In this context, the regulations regarding the protection and evaluation of archaeological heritage, which started in the 19th century, were developed during the Republic period and a gradual progress was achieved in archaeological tourism. Archaeological tourism, which started in Istanbul and Western Anatolia and spread to inland regions of Anatolia and Thrace, has turned into a major industry after a hundred years of developments during the Republic period. The number of visitors to museums and sites, which was approximately 1 million in the late 1950s, has exceeded 45 million in 2022. These data, on the one hand, show that the figures of archaeological tourism are approaching the number of foreign tourists over time, and on the other hand, they indicate that the share and impact of archaeological tourism in general tourism is gradually increasing. Archaeological heritage, which constitutes the source of archaeological tourism, continues to produce new and important alternatives in overcoming the "regionalism" problem, which indicates that tourism movements are concentrated in certain regions, especially the coastal cities in the south.

Osmaneli, Bilecik ilinin kuzeyinde bulunmaktadır. Bilecik iline bağlı olan bu ilçe batıda Bursa, doğuda Sakarya ve kuzeyde İzmit illeri ile komşu konumundadır. Üç farklı coğrafik bölgenin kesişiminde bulunan Bilecik ili ve Osmaneli ilçesi bölgenin tarihsel sürecinde önemli bir konuma sahiptir. Tarih boyunca farklı medeniyetlere ve devletlere ev sahipliği yapan bu bölge kültürel miras açısından da oldukça zengindir. Doğu-batı güzergahında önemli ticari ve dini yolların üzerinde olması, yaşam koşullarının daha rahat olması, iklim ve coğrafik özellikleri bölgenin uzun yıllardır yerleşim merkezi olmasını sağlamıştır. Tarihi milattan önceki dönemlere kadar giden bölgenin bu gibi özellikleri sayesinde kültürel miras varlıkları da çok sayıdadır. Taşınabilir kültürel miras zenginliği kadar bölgede bulunan taşınmaz kültürel mirası da bölge hakkında bilgi verici, dönemin özelliklerini ve yaşamını anlamaya yardımcı zenginliklerdir. Yapılan bu çalışmada Osmaneli ilçesinin eski yerleşim bölgesi olan ve kentsel sit alanı kapsamında bulunan mahalle ve bölgelerindeki sivil, dini ve kamusal mimarlık mirası ögeleri incelenmiştir. Bu kültürel miras ögeleri geçen yıllar içerisinde zaman zaman onarım, restorasyon ve sokak sağlıklaştırma projeleri ile günümüze ve geleceğe ulaştırılmaya çalışılmaktadır. Günümüzde yapılan çalışmalar ve koruma kararları ile bölgede bulunan çoğu geleneksel konutlar, farklı işlevlerde sivil mimarlık ürünleri ve anıtsal yapılar koruma altına alınmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında bu bölgede bulunan tescilli yapılar literatür kaynakları ve arşiv belgeleri eşliğinde incelenerek mevcut durumları ve geçirdikleri değişimler ortaya konmuştur.

Bu çalışmada Cumhuriyetin kuruluşundan itibaren arkeoloji turizminin Türkiye’deki gelişimi veri ve yorumlarla ele alınmıştır: Arkeolojik miras bakımından dünyanın en zengin bölgeleri arasında yer alan Türkiye, günümüzde turizmde de küresel ölçekte öncü ülkelerden biridir. Bu bağlamda arkeolojik mirasın korunması ve değerlendirilmesi konusunda 19. yüzyılda başlayan düzenlemeler Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde geliştirilerek arkeoloji turizminde aşamalı bir ilerleme sağlanmıştır. İstanbul ve Batı Anadolu’da başlayıp Anadolu içlerine ve Trakya’ya yayılan arkeoloji turizmi, Cumhuriyet Dönemi boyunca yaşanan yüz yıllık gelişmelerin ardından büyük bir endüstriye dönüşmüştür. 1950’lerin sonlarında yaklaşık 1 milyon olan müze ve ören yeri ziyaretçi sayısı 2022 yılı itibarıyla 45 milyonu aşmıştır. Bu veriler bir yandan arkeoloji turizmi rakamlarının zaman içinde gelen yabancı turist sayılarına yaklaştığını gösterirken diğer yandan arkeoloji turizminin genel turzimdeki payı ve etkisinin gittikçe arttığına işaret etmektedir. Arkeoloji turizminin kaynağını oluşturan arkeolojik miras, turizm hareketlerinin güneydeki kıyı kentleri başta olmak üzere belirli bölgelerde yoğunlaştığını ifade eden “bölgesellik” sorununun aşılmasında da yeni ve önemli alternatifler üretmeye devam etmektedir.

Culture encompasses a society's morals, beliefs, lifestyles, and all values related to that society. From this perspective, every society is curious about and interested in its own culture as well as the cultures of others. Particularly, the transmission of culture from generation to generation highlights its heritage value and contributes to its increasing importance. Due to this significance, cultural heritage has become a concept of great emphasis in recent years. The purpose of this research is to determine the awareness and experience levels of teachers regarding the cultural heritage elements in Karabük. For this purpose, data were collected from 390 teachers using a survey technique, one of the quantitative research methods. According to the main results of the research, while teachers' awareness of cultural heritage does not vary according to gender, age, and marital status, it was found that they assess cultural heritage awareness differently in terms of the duration of their residence. On the other hand, another result revealed that teachers evaluate their experience of cultural heritage differently based on their age, marital status, the type of school they work in, and the duration of their residence in that place, while no such difference was observed based on gender.

The identities of cities are strongly tied to their histories. For cities with deep-rooted pasts, historical heritage elements are crucial due to their functions in establishing a connection between the city’s past, present, and future. Historical environments that emerge from the historical and cultural identity of cities are known as areas with the character of open-air museums. The Historic Bazaar and Inn District, located in the historical core of the city of Bursa, constitute the research area of this study. Bursa has faced intensive migration since the 1960s, parallel to industrialization. In this context, the region became surrounded by multi-story apartment blocks in the 1980s. Currently, urban transformation practices are being implemented in the region to highlight and preserve this historical fabric. This study aims to address the spatial changes resulting from urban transformation practices in the research area. In the research field, starting from the year 2020, approximately 40 structures were demolished with the intention of highlighting the historical environment, leading to various consequences.

Çanakkale iline bağlı Ayvacık ilçesi 15.yy.’dan bu yana, Yörükler tarafından dokunan el yapımı halı üretimleri ile tanınan bir halı merkezidir. Ayvacık ilçesi dokuma halıların yanı sıra kültürel miras açısından da zengin bir bölgedir. 1980’lerde dünya el yapımı halı pazarında önemli bir yeri olan Ayvacık halılarının üretiminde son 20 yıllık süreçte ciddi bir düşüş yaşanmıştır. Bu çalışma, Ayvacık yöresinde halıcılığın günümüzdeki durumunu, halı üretiminde görülen gerilemenin sebeplerini ve halı üreticilerinin karşılaştığı güncel sorunları tespit ederek, yöreye ait büyük bir değer, bir kültür mirası ögesi, turistik bir ürün olan el halılarını sektörel bazda sürdürebilir kılmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada veriler, alan araştırması yöntemi kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen verilere göre; 2003 yılında Ayvacık’ın 34 köyünde halı dokumacılığı yapılırken, günümüzde bu sayının beşe düştüğü görülmektedir. Toplam 29 köy’de halı dokumacılığı terkedilmiştir. Halı üretiminin gerilemesindeki sebepler incelendiğinde; üretici ve üretim odaklı sorunlar, malzeme ve maliyet odaklı sorunlar, endüstriyel gelişim ve tüketici odaklı sorunlar ile pazarlama odaklı sorunlardan kaynaklandığı tespit edilmiştir.

The ancient city of Prusias Ad Hypium (Konuralp), located in the Bithynia region in ancient times, is located 8 km north of the city centre of Düzce today. Konuralp is a settlement where we observe the historical process with its ancient theatre, atlı kapı, aqueducts, Roman bridge, city walls and the ruins of the Ottoman period. In this study, with the data obtained from the project titled "Cultural Heritage of Düzce from Prusias Ad Hypium to Konuralp" carried out between 2017-2018, the reflections of the ancient city's past to the present, the role of the places belonging to the ancient history in the formation of social memory and collective memory, and their contribution to the formation of the cultural identity of the city in the construction process were examined. The method used in this article is oral history, which is frequently used in the field of History today, but not in the field of Antiquity. In the interviews with mostly local people over the age of 50, their memories, memories experienced in spatial areas, rituals, rumours, in short, what remains in their memories were recorded between the lines. With this study, it is aimed to record the narratives before they are lost and to take steps towards the protection of cultural heritage by creating historical awareness in the people of the region. At the same time, common memory places were also identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mimarbaşı Lole, one of the most significant figures in Mardin's historical heritage, played an active role in the construction and repair of many major monuments between the 19th and early 20th centuries. The study aims to provide a detailed documentation of the buildings of a craftsman who has taken a place in the historical heritage of Mardin. A four-stage method was used to identify the built or repaired buildings and to reveal his construction practice. First, the monuments associated with him were determined in line with the data obtained from the literature. Second, a map was prepared to determine the relationship between these monuments and their surroundings in the city. Third, they were categorized and presented in a table according to their features. In the last, the monuments and their qualities were analyzed in a sequential approach and also evaluations on how the construction practice evolved over time were included. It was observed that Lole had an active role, including mansions, churches, educational and administrative buildings in different areas of the city. It was concluded that a specific architectural and cultural formation already exists in the region, and that the construction by Lole is not an exception to this formation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the Ottoman period, a high proportion of Greek population lived in the Kula district of Manisa province. It is possible to understand the reflection of the abundance and influence of the Greek population from the existence of three Greek schools in a rural settlement like Kula in the 19th century. One of these schools is Zafer School, which is the subject of the study. The aim of the study is to introduce the Zafer School, which is not included in the academic literature, into the literature as a cultural heritage and to document it as a typological example. Within the scope of this article, firstly the history and cultural diversity of Kula was examined in order to introduce the settlement, and then the establishment, functioning, legal status and architectural features of the Greek schools were explained in order to describe the historical process and architectural features of the Zafer School. Within the scope of these limitations, the study was examined in line with information obtained from various sources, close areas, and archives. The architectural features and current situation of the school are revealed in line with the observations made during the field research and the drawings created afterwards. Within the framework of the current situation, evaluations were made in the context of architectural restoration and recommendations were explained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Faith tourism has become a significant dynamic in the economies of countries with rich cultural heritage, sacred sites, and deep historical backgrounds, driven by the increasing number of tourists traveling for religious motivations. The current research aims to determine tourist guides' perceptions of religious tourism, their tendencies towards voluntary involvement and assumption of responsibility in projects aimed at developing religious tourism, as well as their intentions to participate in religious tours and pursue professional specialization. In the scope of a quantitative research methodology, a survey was conducted on 262 tourist guides. The findings revealed that perceptions of religious tourism among tourist guides consist of six dimensions: “economy, promotion, policy, guide, education, and tourist". According to the findings, positive economic perception has a significant effect on the tendency to take responsibility for the development of faith tourism and the intention to guide and specialise in faith tours. It has been revealed that as the professional experience of the guides increases, there is a decrease in their tendency to take active responsibility in faith tourism. The perception of insufficient promotion affects the guides' tendency to assume professional responsibility and to take part in the role of volunteer guide in related projects. It has been determined that the majority of the guides have not received vocational specialisation training in faith tourism. The guides mostly intend to specialise in Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Syriacism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is known that the tradition of stamping is continued by putting marks on many items such as tombstones, carpets and rugs, iron tools, ornaments, architectural structures, weapons, trees and stones in Turkish culture. It is a well-known fact that one of the oldest examples of the stamp tradition in Turkish culture is the livestock branding tradition. Scientific studies on stamps and stamp-shaped signs have been going on for a long time. Although the findings have created an important literature and data source, there are still countless examples of traditional practices and stamps waiting to be researched, discussed and brought to the literature in Anatolia, which is home to a rich stamp tradition. This study aims to analyse the historical and cultural context of livestock branding culture applied in Samsun region and its surrounding settlements, the functions of livestock branding, the characteristics of brands, how the livestock branding process takes place, cultural transmission and preparation of an inventory. In this study, a qualitative approach is adopted as the research method, since it is aimed to analyse and describe the livestock branding culture profoundly. Ethnography (cultural analysis) is preferred as the research design. Data is collected using a semi-structured interview form with unattended and mechanical observation. The group to be observed and interviewed is determined according to the criterion-based sampling method, which is one of the non-probability sampling methods. Data collection with the ethnographic method may take a few days and weeks, or it may take a year or more. Field studies for observations, interviews, and photo shoots of livestock brands on buffaloes are carried out in the Yeşilırmak and Kızılırmak Delta Wetland Area and different districts of Samsun from April to October in 2019 and 2022. Since the theoretical dimensions of this research are formed, descriptive analysis technique is used to solve the data obtained through unattended observation, audio and video recordings made with mechanical tools, and semi-structured interview. Expert opinion is sought to test the reliability. Findings show that livestock branding culture in Samsun region has an important historical background and cultural context. It is seen that the culture of branding horses continues, although it is especially concentrated on buffaloes in the research area. As a result of the study, 104 livestock brands are identified in the Samsun region and these are recorded with photographs. It has been determined that these livestock brands detected in the region are divided into five forms as numeral, Latin alphabet, reminiscent of the brands of Turkish tribes, old Turkish alphabet and similar to the livestock brands in different countries and geographies.

The large area of the mountainous and rugged areas in Türkiye have enabled the development of plateau activities and plateau culture. Plateaus, which are traditionally used for animal husbandry in Türkiye, have a characteristic of temporary settlement areas that are used for grazing animals, for small-scale agricultural activities or holiday in the summer months. Gümüşhane (especially the lands in the north of the province) and its surroundings, where agricultural lands are narrow and fragmented, are among the areas where plateaus activities the most intense in our country. The plateaus, where the grass stays green for a long time, have significance for the people who are busy with animal husbandry in the region. Highlands, besides having various features, are also almost a hidden treasure of a cultural accumulation. Communities who changed their places for thousands of years between the plateau and winter season for animal husbandry first in Central Asia and then in Anatolia, they have evolved their culture as a result of their economic activities and geographical areas. Plateau cuisine is one of the most important elements of this culture. Plateau cuisine is one of the indispensable phenomena of plateau life, which has been practiced for centuries in Turkish social life. Plateau cuisine culture has gained a private identity with the addition of distinctive elements in many ways by time. Formation of culinary culture effected by many aspects. Such as; geographical region, socio-economic structure, traditions and customs, agriculture, animal husbandry, and technological developments. In the scope of this study, the last point reached by the plateau cuisine culture, which is a cultural heritage element, has been handled, and the positive and negative aspects of the plateau cuisine culture have been discussed in terms of development. To determine the current situation regarding the plateau cuisine on-site, the Gümüşhane plateaus were carried out, where is one of the provinces of the Eastern Black Sea Region. The scope of these studies yielded with many interviews who are becoming highland residents, headmen, business owners, and various stakeholders. According to analyses, the plateau cuisine culture was categorized into four main themes and ten sub-themes. These four main themes constitute the basic structure of the Gümüşhane plateau cuisine culture; it was concluded that animal products, agricultural products, local products, edible wild plants, and mushrooms. Each categorized theme was evaluated in the findings section based on the statements of the participants, observation and secondary data. Moreover, there is a decrease in the number of animals herded and the amount of cultivated land in the plateaus, the amount of animal and agricultural products produced by the plateau people in the past was high, but nowadays the households living in the plateaus are trying to produce enough for themselves in general, from the markets established in the central plateaus or from the markets close to the districts, and it was determined that they bought their basic needs. In addition, local foods made in the plateau are listed and it has been observed that the local food culture continues by using products specific to the region. Finally, suggestions have been offered to keep alive the plateau cuisine culture, ensure its continuity and transmit it to future generations as a cultural element. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on examining the transformation of the Beykoz Leather and Shoe Factory area, investigating the qualities of the buildings in the area, and evaluating them in the context of industrial archaeology. The study aimed to determine whether each of the four conservation methods determined by TICCIH and ERIH organizations and Rolf Höhmann (1992) are preferred for the buildings of the Beykoz Leather and Shoe Factory. Data collection was carried out in 5 years between 2018-2022. Data were collected through on-site observation, analysis of relevant documentation, and interviews with the Kundura Hafıza (Shoe Memory) unit established within the factory during multiple site visits. The original aspect and importance of the study is to conduct and comprehensively evaluate all three of the literature study, fieldwork, and data analysis within the scope of the study.

This study examines the development of memorial sites on the Gallipoli Historical Site, investigating the complex relationship between historical events, architectural structures, and landscape design. The research evaluates the evolution of designs by doing a literature analysis, selecting sites, and conducting examination. It emphasises a significant change from traditional monuments to modern landscapes that include nature. The unique characteristics of the Gallipoli Historical Site are crucial in developing cultural and national identities. The findings emphasise the significance of creating memorial places that are economically efficient, inventive, and respectful to the location. The study suggests integrating symbolic planting design features and recognises the ongoing discussion on memorial design, promoting nature-based landscapes that pay tribute to shared memories while adhering to contemporary design principles.

Every society has a unique bread culture and history. Turks have a very rich bread culture and variety. One of the types of bread that the Turks brought to Anatolia from Central Asia is yufka bread, which is rolled out with an unleavened dough in a thin and round shape and baked on a sheet metal. Making yufka bread has a function that provides social solidarity and division of labor. In this context, the aim of the study is to make a reading on the social, historical and cultural meaning of yufka bread and to contribute to future studies on this subject. Although the study was conducted from a sociological perspective, the views of different disciplines were also used, therefore an eclectic interdisciplinary method was used in the study. As a result of the study, it was seen that yufka bread, a cultural heritage, is one of the indicators of the national identity and belonging of the Turks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Osman Hamdi Bey, a significant name in Turkish culture and art, was a museum director, administrator, artist, and a pioneer with the institutions he created in the Western style. His love of art and artistic awareness provided the institutional basis for preserving ancient works. Visualizing the cultural memory through his works of art made it possible to make the heritage permanent and to establish control over it while laying the foundations of Turkish museology and ensuring the transfer of the cultural accumulation to future generations. Osman Hamdi Bey supported his museum directorship with the themes of his work and hoped to explore the cultural context through his paintings. He took his place in Turkish art as a value that reflects the characteristics of the period in his works, which include cultural and artistic elements, and conveys his views in his paintings. This study focuses on the period between 1880- 1906 and includes Osman Hamdi Bey's architectural works used as spaces, their related elements, and cultural objects in Türkiye. The emphasis is on the concrete reflections of cultural heritage and a particular visual cultural element in Osman Hamdi Bey's works. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
