| Title | Latmos: A Cultural Landscape in Anatolia |
| Summary | This study tries to evaluate Mount Latmos in Western Anatolia under the term of sacred space and understands the continuity of the sacred character of the mountain within different religions. While doing so, it relates the syncretic character of folk religion in Turkey to the temporal space. It also documents the mountain's existing natural and cultural heritage from the prehistoric ages to the contemporary age by benefiting the previous scholars’ studies on the area and tells the story of the attraction focused on the area for centuries. Within the scope of this study, the intangible cultural heritage of the modern Turkish communities will also be understood. The thesis tries to attract attention to the existing and potential threats to the cultural heritage of Latmos and understands the locals' perception about the heritage and the measures that have been/are being/should be taken within policy, management, conservation, and community perspectives. The thesis evaluates Mount Latmos as a cultural landscape and sacred space and it tries to bring scholarly attention to the current problems that the mountain is facing. |
