Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the ethnobotanical characteristics of some plants distributed in Ceylanlı village (Kırıkhan/Hatay) on the slopes of Amanos Mountain. As a result of the field studies carried out between 2019 and 2021 and the interviews with the local people, it was determined that 75 taxa belonging to 41 families were used by the local people in the research area. The local names of the plants, the harvest season, the parts used, the usage purposes, and forms were determined by face-to-face interviews with different local people in their houses, farms, gardens or natural areas. The families having the highest number of using taxa in the area were determined to be Asteraceae and Lamiaceae (8 taxa each), Rosaceae (6 taxa), Amaryllidaceae, Brassicaceae, and Fabaceae (4 taxa each). In total 116 different uses belonging to the plants in the study area were determined, including uses for medical purposes such as wounds, respiratory tract, and stomachic diseases (47 taxa), food (20 taxa), daily items (6 taxa), spice (4 taxa), firewood (3 taxa), and for other different purposes (14 taxa). The obtained results were discussed by comparing them with the relevant literature. Our results show that most of the plants identified were collected by local people from their natural habitats. The local community in our study area was informed to reduce the collection of natural medicinal plants unconsciously and about the importance of cultivating medicinal and aromatic plants. It is believed that this study will contribute to all relevant studies at national and international scales.

Ceylanlı Köyü'nde (Kırıkhan/Hatay-Türkiye) Etnobotanik Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Bu çalışma Amanos Dağı eteklerindeki Ceylanlı köyü (Kırıkhan/Hatay)’nde yayılış gösteren bazı bitkilerin etnobotanik özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. 2019-2021 yılları arasında gerçekleştirilen arazi çalışmaları ve bölge halkıyla yapılan görüşmeler sonucu araştırma alanında 41 familyaya ait 75 bitki taksonunun yöre halkı tarafından kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bitkilerin yöresel adları, toplanma mevsimleri, kullanılan kısımları, kullanım amaçları ve şekilleri yöre halkıyla evlerinde, çiftliklerinde, bahçelerinde veya doğal alanlarında yüz yüze görüşülerek tespit edilmiştir. Kullanılan bitkilerde takson sayıları bakımından en büyük familyalar sırasıyla Asteraceae ve Lamiaceae (8’er takson), Rosaceae (6 takson), Amaryllidaceae, Brassicaceae ve Fabaceae (4’er takson) şeklinde belirlenmiştir. Çalışma alanında bitkilere ait; tıbbi amaçla (47 takson), gıda olarak (20 takson), günlük eşya yapımı (6 takson), baharat (4 takson), yakacak odun (3 takson) ve diğer farklı amaçlar (14 takson) için olmak üzere toplam 116 farklı kullanım şekli belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar ilgili literatürler ile karşılaştırılarak tartışılmıştır. Sonuçlarımız, tespit edilen bitkilerin çoğunun yerel halk tarafından doğal yaşam alanlarından toplandığını göstermektedir. Çalışma alanımızdaki yerel halk bilinçsizce doğal şifalı bitki toplamanın azaltılması ve tıbbi bitkilerin kültüre alınmasının önemi konusunda bilgilendirilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın ulusal ve uluslararası ölçekte ilgili tüm çalışmalara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
