Abstract

Local
people are an important stakeholder in terms of preservation and continuity of
cultural heritage. Therefore, it is important to examine the attitudes and
intentions of local people towards cultural heritage. The research was carried
out with a total of 841 residents in the Bergama and Selçuk districts of İzmir,
where the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage titled Pergamon Multilayer
Cultural Landscape Area and Ephesus is located. In the study, a theoretical
research model is presented and this model is being tested, which deals with
the concepts of attachment  and community
attachment, and attitudes towards perception and conservation of cultural
heritage. The proposed theoretical model has been found to produce good fit
indices and, the residents’ attachment to place and community influenced the
positive perception of cultural heritage and the preservation of the cultural
heritage.

MEKANA VE YEREL HALKA BAĞLILIK, KÜLTÜREL MİRASA YÖNELİK TUTUMU ETKİLER Mİ?

Abstract

Yerel
halk, kültürel mirasların korunması ve devamlılığı açısından önemli bir
paydaştır. Bu nedenle yerel halkın kültürel mirasa yönelik tutum ve
niyetlerinin irdelenmesi önem teşkil etmektedir. Araştırma, Birleşmiş Milletler
Eğitim, Bilim ve Kültür Örgütü (United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization-UNESCO) Dünya Mirası ünvanını taşıyan Bergama Çok
Katmanlı Kültürel Peyzaj Alanı ve Efes’in yer aldığı İzmir’in Bergama ve Selçuk
ilçelerinde, toplam 841 katılımcı yerel halk ile gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Araştırmada, mekana bağlılık ve yerel halka bağlılık kavramlarını, kültürel
mirasa yönelik algı ve korumaya yönelik tutum ile ilişkilerini ele alan teorik
bir araştırma modeli sunulmakta ve bu model, test edilmektedir. Önerilen teorik
model iyi uyum üretmiş, yerel halka ve mekana bağlılığın kültürel mirasa
yönelik algıya, algının da kültürel mirasın korunmasına yönelik tutuma pozitif
yönde etki ettiği saptanmıştır.
