Abstract

This study enlightens the cultural routes and the route-developing process; and scrutinizes the cultural route-developing process in the Menteşe Urban Protected Area, Muğla, Turkey. The study aims to explain the cultural route-development process and to design the cultural routes of the Menteşe Urban Protected Area. The data used in the design of the routes were obtained from systematic field trips made to the urban protected area. Four of the field trips that took place between September and November 2021 were prior to the route-developing process; two of them were carried out after the route sketches were designed. The “Cultural Route Planning Model” was adopted in the route development. A four-stage model was followed: (i) Infrastructure: Process Preparation, (ii) Overview: Research and Evaluation, (iii) Planning: Regional Route-Creating, (iv) Management: Realization and Promotion Process. The route-development process used situation analysis, classification, and mapping. Therefore, in the second part of the study, results, and suggestions about the cultural routes of the Menteşe Urban Protected Area are presented.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, kültür rotaları ve rota geliştirme süreci hakkında bilgi vermekte ve Muğla Menteşe Kentsel Sit Alanı özelinde kültür rotalarının geliştirilme sürecini irdelemektedir. Çalışma, kültür rotalarının geliştirilme sürecinin kapsamlı olarak açıklanmasını ve Menteşe Kentsel Sit Alanı kültür rotalarının tasarlanmasını amaçlamaktadır. Rota kurgularının tasarlanmasında kullanılan veriler, Menteşe Kentsel Sit Alanı’na yapılan sistemli saha gezilerinden elde edilmiştir. 2021 yılının Eylül-Kasım ayları arasında gerçekleşen saha gezilerinin dördü, rota geliştirme süreci öncesinde; ikisi ise rota kurgularının tasarlanmasının ardından gerçekleştirilmiştir. Rota kurgularının tasarlanmasında “Kültürel Rota Planlama Modeli” benimsenmiştir. Bu kapsamda dört aşamalı bir model izlenmiştir: (i) Altyapı: Süreç Hazırlığı, (ii) Bakış: Araştırma ve Değerlendirme, (iii) Planlama: Bölgesel Rota Kurgusu, (iv) Yönetim: Gerçekleştirme ve Tanıtım Süreci. Rota geliştirme sürecinde durum analizi, sınıflandırma ve haritalandırma çalışmalarından faydalanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın ikinci kısmında Menteşe Kentsel Sit Alanı kültür rotaları ile ilgili bulgulara ve önerilere yer verilmiştir.
