Turkey has been composed by diverse cultures in the course of history as a result of its geographical situation
and human-nature relationships have been influenced by this multi-cultural structure. The Polish village
Polonezköy (Adampol) is one of the most interesting examples of such relationships. In this context this paper
examines the impacts of different cultures on forest- community relations. Starting with the analysis of the
foundation and historical development of Polonezköy the phases of socio-economic changes in this forest village
are discussed. In this historical process the transition of forest-society relations are investigated parallel to socioeconomic
changes. Furthermore, the effects of the evolution from a purely agricultural to a modern structure are
placed in the context of forest-society relations.
