A Cultural Space Nearing To Disappear: The Example of Dereici (Kilit) Village

Abstract

Culture is the collection of material and spiritual characteristics that have been produced by society throughout the course of history and passed down from generation to generation. In order for a culture to continue its existence it requires a community, a community need a physical space. Some spaces are cosmopolitan by nature and host a variety of cultures due to historical and sociological reasons. Mardin is a cultural space where many religions and languages coexist. Dereiçi Village in Savur district is a micro-example of this. The purpose of this research is to examine the migration patterns and causes of migration in the village in order to determine why this cultural space is facing the danger of extinction. The qualitative findings revealed that migration has multiple social, political, and economic causes. With the occurrence of migrations and the consequent depopulation of the village, cultural spaces are at risk of disappearing. However, after the restoration of these cultural places, it was observed that there were temporary returns to the village.
