Review of Archaeological Sites in Türkiye Within the Framework of Cultural Heritage

Cultural heritage is now a multidisciplinary field, involving many disciplines. At a time when globalisation has become inevitable, the cultural values that societies bring from the past are a kind of memory card that nations will carry into the future. Cultural heritage is also a bridge that carries the values of the past into the future. Awareness-raising, protection and transfer of these values, which are important resources in terms of giving society a sense of belonging and following the traces of the past, are parts of a whole with separate steps. The civilisations that have inhabited in Anatolia have grafted their own cultures onto these lands. Each transplanted value has grown again in the pool of the next civilisation and has been transformed by changing its form. Therefore, in Türkiye, where there are different geographical conditions from west to east, from north to south, civilisations have existed according to these conditions. Nowadays, many tourists visit archaeological sites. The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between archaeological sites in Türkiye and space and to analyse archaeological sites in terms of the number of visitors. In this context, the data of 98 archaeological sites registered in DOSIMM were examined and the distribution of archaeological sites was drawn with Arcmap 10.8 software.
