ABSTRACT
Sustaining cultural landscapes requires the conservation of socio-cultural characteristics as well as their
physical manifestations. It is essential to document and conserve tangible and intangible elements of heritage
in an integrated manner as cultural he i age con i of bo h angible and in angible o k h o gh hich he

rituals, traditional craftsmanship, know-how, techniques and skills, historic places, buildings, public spaces and
objects. Finding the means of understanding and safeguarding intangible cultural heritage and its transmission
to next generations is vital for the preservation of tangible heritage and its characteristics. This paper reviews
the development of the concepts of intangible cultural heritage and cultural landscapes, and the interrelationship
between tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Their interaction opens up new approaches to cultural heritage
and its con e a ion. The ca e d foc e on he c l al land cape fea e of Ka e i No hea Valle ,
Koramaz, Gesi and Derevenk, in terms of their tangible and intangible heritage elements and values. The methodology, therefore, proposes the integrated documentation and analysis of these tangible and intangible cultural
heritage characteristics. The area had a multi-cultural, ethnic and religious social structure, which shaped its
elements through human-nature interaction. However, demographic changes within the last century transformed
daily-life practices. The research is based on in-depth interviews with local residents, analysis of archival
sources and documentation of the physical remains in the field. The results highlight the traditional crafts and
production techniques as daily-life practices; some of these are still continued at the present while others are
not practiced anymore. Those practiced in the recent past are carried to our day through the remembrances and
accounts of the elders. The documentation of these practices forms the first step for their revival and sustainability for the future and provide valuable tools for the development of principles and strategies with this purpose.
Understanding the physical, natural and socio+ layers of tangible and intangible cultural heritage is essential in
this context. Their promotion and the inclusion of local stakeholders in the conservation process is the only
solution for the integrated conservation of these cultural landscapes in terms of a living heritage approach.

1. Introduction
Intangible cultural heritage [ICH] reflects on the collective memory that humanity
has kept alive throughout history, handing it down from generation to generation. Culture
itself is defined as a living and evolving entity, and therefore, cannot solely be composed
of tangible or physical elements. What defines the unique or distinguishing aspects of a
culture includes living practices, their historic evolution and continuing development.
(Lenzerini 2011: 102) ICH and c l al land cape , hich a e fo med h o gh hi o
as a result of the interaction between human beings and nature are the key concepts, defining the methodology of this research. The main aim, therefore, is to emphasize the need
to document the oral testimonies of the people living in an area as a sub-component of
the cultural landscape (Figure 1).
This article documents traditional past practices of crafts and production, and identifies the processes of change in rural lifestyles. The findings could serve as a guide for
local administrators to include inhabitants in efforts to conserve such traditions as a part
of their contemporary lives and as a testimony of their living heritage. In the case of the
Northeast Kayseri Valleys, the traditional craftsmanship and production techniques tell
us about everyday life in the region and the transformation of communities that have lived
in the area for centuries. The Koramaz, Gesi and Derevenk valleys that have been selected
as case studies for this article, form a unified cultural landscape in Central Anatolia with
unique tangible and intangible heritage values. The methodology includes both oral and
archival documentation of physical features and related cultural expressions as well as
the transmission of the daily life activities to future generations.
1.1. Intangible Cultural Heritage and Cultural Landscapes
UNESCO's Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage
(2003: Article 2) define ICH a he practices, representations, expressions, knowledge,
skills as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated therewith that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize as part of their
cultural heritage. This intangible cultural heritage, transmitted from generation to gener-
186

Mill F lkl , 2021, Y l 33, Cil 17, Sa
130
ation, is constantly recreated by communities and groups in response to their environment, their interaction with nature and their history, and provides them with a sense of
identity and continuity, thus promoting respect for cultural diversity and human creativi . The efo e, he c l al he i age of a people i o be nde ood a incl ding bo h
tangible and intangible works through which the creativity of that people finds expression: languages, rites, beliefs, historic places and monuments, literature, works of art,
archives and libraries. It consists of, inter alia, (a) o al adi ion and e p e ion , including language as a vehicle of the ICH; (b) performing arts; (c) social practices, rituals
and festive events; (d) knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe; (e)
adi ional c af man hip , on he condi ion ha he a e compa ible i h e i ing in e national human rights instruments, as well as with the requirements of mutual respect
among communities, groups and individuals, and of sustainable development. (2003:
Article 2).
The concept of cultural landscape has the potential to bring the tangible and intangible aspects of cultural heritage as living and sustainable heritage. Production landscapes,
traditions and methods of production, various types of physical heritage created by these
activities, and the communities directly or indirectly involved with them and their sustainability become elements of cultural landscapes.

simply described as products of tradition may seem ordinary but they are usually produced ncon cio l and collec i el . Von D o e, R le and Ti chen (1999: 20) accentuate the integrity of the cultural landscape, that of nature and the reality of human
influence, in other words, the continuity between the people who lived at a certain place
in the past and who live there today. The intangible cultural heritage of a cultural landscape makes it possible to understand the places, traditions and activities that create a rich
cultural diversity and the daily lives of the ordinary people. The Cultural Landscape Conservation Workshop (2003), organized by ICCROM in Rome, emphasized the importance
of comprehensive documentation and recognizing intangible values based on cultural traditions that are evident as well as tangible values that have cultural and spiritual influence
on cultural landscapes. The preservation of cultural heritage is not possible through the
protection of solely the physical environment, but an integrated approach including the
intangible activities and values that make a place unique.
1.2. The Relationship between Intangible Cultural Heritage and Cultural
Landscapes
UNESCO World Heritage Convention (1972) was criticized for having a too narrow
cope beca e i e cl ded imma e ial he i age. Mexico City Declaration on Cultural
Policies (1982) made a holi ic de c ip ion incl ding pi i al, ma e ial, in ellec al and
emo ional fea e , hich incl ded mode of life, f ndamen al h man igh , al e em , adi ion and belief . UNESCO Recommendation on the Safeguarding of Traditional Culture and Folklore (1989) became the first international legal instrument for the
conservation of ICH although folklore was a less comprehensive concept. UNESCO Living Human Treasures (1994) and Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of
Humanity (1998) programmes broadened the scope, and eventually led to the UNESCO

130
Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003). (Lenzerini
2011: 104-107)
On the other hand, in terms of tangible heritage, Nara Document (1994) was the first
international declaration to recognize cultural heritage diversity and the social aspects of
authenticity, such as collective memory and their intangible expression, and extending
he al e and hei o ce o fo m and de ign, ma e ial and b ance, e and f nction, traditions and techniques, location and setting, spirit and feeling, and other internal
and ex e nal fac o . Ho e e , he e a e con ide ed al able a inp and fac o concerning the tangible heritage. Valetta Principles (2011), following the Quebec Declaration (2008), defines inseparable interrelation of the tangible and intangible heritage, and
made the spirit of place and all intangible input and values important in terms of the conin i and
ainabili of he i age a ea . The in angible elemen a e defined a ac i ities, symbolic and historic functions, cultural practices, traditions, memories, and culal efe ence ha con i e he b ance of hei hi o ic al e . The concep of he i age e ing o con e

This understanding is extended especially for industrial and rural areas, where production
is the main activity for the design, creation, preservation and sustainability of the tangible
heritage. (Dublin Principles, 2011; ICOMOS-IFLA Principles, 2017)
The ICH definitions are inherently related with a number of factors, which are valuable in drawing their connection with tangible cultural heritage and its conservation.
The e incl de: (a) he elf-recognition or self-identification of ICH as part of their cultural heritage; (b) the constant recreation of ICH as a response to the historical and social
evolution of communities; (c) the connection of ICH with the identity of its creators and
bea e ; (d) he condi ion of a hen ici a an implici e i emen fo ICH; and (e) he
in e ela ion hip of ICH i h h man igh . (Lenzerini 2011: 108-118) These factors do
not only help the identification and/or understanding of tangible cultural heritage and its
relationship to ICH but provides a comprehension of the past communities, who created
them, and the present communities, who maintain them and would be able to carry them
to the future through cultural evolution.
Cultural landscapes provide physical support for intangible assets whereas the latter
contribute to the preservation of tangible heritage. (Poulios 2014: 13) To understand what
constitutes ICH, the interrelationship of communities with their cultural landscapes need
to be defined. (Caballero 2017: 3) Accordingly, an acceptable approach for the preservation of cultural landscapes requires developing integrated methodologies. Focusing on
traditional craftsmanship and production techniques, such an integrated methodology entails understanding and preserving the know-how, knowledge and skills in their physical
manifestations and built environments. According to Fairclough (2012: 5), ne he i age conce n dail -life, and as it is constantly recreated, heritage is also constantly
changing and has a dynamic structure. The research presented in this article acknowledges
traditional craftsmanship and production techniques, and current challenges posed by
changing trends as a part of daily-life. However, there is a lack of archival documentation
of the intangible heritage existing in collective memory.

Figure 1: The Relationship between Cultural Landscape and Intangible Cultural
Heritage
Figure 1 defines subsets of tangible and intangible heritage values as components of
the cultural landscape. The tangible heritage value set and natural environmental components are structured accordingly while the socio plus component is defined as a part of
the ICH value set. The socio+ component is also separated into two vertically and horizontally. Vertical components are historical, archaeological and ethnographic; horizontal
components are sociocultural, socioeconomic and sociodemographic.
The production landscape of the Koramaz, Gesi and Derevenk valleys presents traditional crafts and agricultural practices that have created the socio-economic and cultural
networks and bring together tangible and intangible heritage values. Traditional crafts
and daily-life practices, the need for the conservation of which are emphasized within the
UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the System of Living Human Treasures frameworks, form the focus of this research. This article
emphasizes the importance of the production landscapes of historic rural environments in
the conservation and continuity of cultural narratives, and recommends a perspective that
presents the UNESCO System of Living Human Treasures as a tool in conservation processes.
2. Case Study: Northeast Kayseri Valleys Koramaz, Gesi and Derevenk
2.1. General Information
Understanding the historic and cultural layers of Kayseri, an industrial city of the
20th century, requires looking at the historic continuity of former practices. Koramaz, Gesi
and Derevenk valleys, which were selected as the case study area, illustrate the multicultural and layered structure of Kayseri province in its built, natural and socio-cultural environments. These valley settlements are located 20 km northeast of the city center, and
are rural and semi-urban in terms of morphology. The settlements are Germir and
Tavlusun in Derevenk Valley; Mancusun, Nize, Darsiyak, Gesi, and Efkere in Gesi Valle ; and A na , Vek e, I p d n, k b , T an, B kb ng , and K kb ng
in Koramaz Valley. (Image 1) A total of 14 settlements in the valleys have survived to
the present day with their tangible and intangible heritage characteristics.
http://www.millifolklor.com
189
Mill F lkl , 2021, Y l 33, Cilt 17, Sa

The first settlements in and around Kayseri date back to the Neolithic Period as in
the rest of Anatolia. The Bronze Age settlement of Kanesh-Karum, the Hittite city and
he A
ian ade colon , i loca ed on he G me Plain about 6 km north of the valleys.
Early settlements in the valleys include rock-cut spaces, churches and tombs (Kayseri
Underground Structures Inventory, 2017), most of which have survived to the present
day. These spaces are mostly used for agricultural purposes today. The population of the
valleys included people of different ethnicities and religious beliefs. This cultural diversity and tradition of living together continued until the first half of the 20 th century; the
population relocation in 1915 and the population exchange in 1923-1926 radically transformed the social and demographic structure. A 17th century census indicates that approximately 2/3 of the area identified as Koramaz district were non-Muslim while in 1914,
according to the last Ottoman census, Kayseri province had a total of 184,292 Muslims,
26,590 Greeks, and 52,192 A menian (G le 2000: 201).
Image 1: The location of the case study areas.
The topography and the presence of water have made these valleys desirable settlement areas, invisible on the plateau and, therefore, protected and safe form settlement, in
a manner similar to the valley settlements in the rest of the Cappadocian Plain. This situation has also hindered urban expansion, and protected the valleys, although they form
the periphery of the city at the present with recent housing development on the plateau.
The settlements on the slopes of the valleys are 1,100-1,500 m above sea level; however,
they are shielded against the cold and strong winds, creating a milder and more humid
micro-climate with vineyards and orchards close to the streams on the valley floors. The
190

130
natural and cultural landscape developed as a result creates a unique heritage niche.
Derevenk, the valley closest to the city is under pressure from Kayseri's urban development, and has been somewhat more transformed compared to Gesi and Koramaz valleys.
On 14 Ap il 2020, Ko ama Valle

the inscription of one of the valleys on WHL, is not holistic in its approach, and completely disregards the historically, naturally, physically and socio-culturally closely related larger area.
2.2. The Intangible Elements of Northeast Kayseri Valleys
UNESCO (World Heritage Cultural Landscapes, 2009: 19-20) defines cultural landscape areas as unique places where nature and culture, tangible and intangible heritage,
and the interface between biological and cultural diversity are visible and protected; they
represent a strong relationship that is the essence of cultural and social identity. Such
heritage environments are produced by the interrelations between tangible and intangible
values through their production landscape. There is a wide range of similar landscape
areas around the world that represent cultures and cultural traditions. Rural landscapes
may be better protected compared to urban areas due to the presence of lower development pressure. However, their sustainability may be more problematic due to the same
reason. Lack of economic development and diminishing populations may result in termination of production and daily-life activities, which have originally created them.
Rural landscapes are defined as living and dynamic areas, where know-how and traditional production methods continue (ICOMOS-IFLA Principles, 2017). These may include tangible and intangible heritage values, including production landscapes, settlements, built environment and their morphology and technology, water management, infrastructure, flora, fauna, transportation and trade networks as well as cultural and practical knowledge, crafts, traditions, beliefs, rituals, and other collective activities. These
complex and integrated natural, socio-cultural and structural interrelations need to be understood and protected. (Ka n 2012: 46).

These are discussed in more detail below and summarized in Mapping 1 and 2.
The research on intangible heritage elements and cultural memory mapping was
based on in-depth interviews with local residents, conducted in 2019-2020. From the 14
villages, a total of 30 residents representing at least two different generations were interviewed; it was ascertained that at least one of these SPs was old enough to remember and
provide information for the period before 1950. 15 of the interviewees were 75 years of
age or older whereas 15 were 50 years of age or younger. Gender wise, 20 interviewees
were men while 10 were women. Memory walks were conducted in each village with
people representing both generations as well, during which questions were asked about
spatial use and intangible daily-life activities. The interviewees were referred as S.P.
(source person) in the text, and identified with their residency location, age and gender
information at the end of the Bibliography section.

2.2.1. Social Practices, Daily-life Activities, Rituals, and Festive Events
Just as daily-life activities occur in public spaces in urban areas, they happen in production landscapes in rural areas. Common services like fountains and common production spaces such as threshing places, where wheat is processed after harvest, ovens and
technological elements related with them, are shared by the community. For instance, the
trashing stone (seten) indicates the differentiation between neighborhoods. This is a millstone, which is vertically rotated by animal or water power and used to separate the bran
of the grain and to make ground wheat (yarma) and cracked wheat (bulgur). Soku is another type of wheat trashing technology, and may be described as a large hollow stone
container like a mortar, in which the grain is pounded with a gavel by human force. It
may be used for wheat, ground wheat, or dried pepper. Although not used anymore, examples exist in various locations in the harvest gathering areas of the villages. (Image 2)
The people of the village worked collectively (imece) at these places and sang songs while
doing so. Most agricultural activities were collective in nature. In Kayseri s Armenians
Speak (2018), an oral history anecdote provides the following information:
The road passes through the middle of the village as if it divides the village in two.
At the crossroads, there was a huge and hollow stone called soku . After the harvest in
the fall, wheat was filled in the soku . The men of the village, three-four of them together, picked gavels in their hands, and in harmony, while singing a song, crushed the
wheat. ( an la ed b . Ke e o l )
Image 2: Trashing stones: seten (left) and soku (right).
One of the other activities retrieved through in-depth interviews with villagers (S.P.
1) is clearing the water source from grass collectively each year; this event symbolized
he beginning of he p ing, and i called opening he e e of he a e (suyun gözünü
açmak). Following collective work, the families had a picnic together at the water source
to celebrate the event (S.P. 2). Another activity was washing carpets in places where water
was collected into ponds on the valley basin or close to the fountain in the village (S.P.
3). Collective food production included making and baking tand r bread in neighborhood
ovens and boiling molasses from grape juice (pekmez) in the courtyards of the houses or
at the common agricultural spaces that served this purpose ( irehane / irane; Image 3).
The agricultural products were preserved for the winter also through collective work (S.P.
4).

The multicultural and religious structure of the communities resulted in the collective celebration of different rituals. Some of these were geographical in nature, such as
the healing of people from diseases and preventing natural disasters and famines. One of
these ritual places is a healing house, popularly known as Arap Oca in the village of
A na in Ko ama Valle (S.P. 5). Mo he lef o fi of hei child en he e o heal
hem. The pe fo a ed one (deliklita ) in he illage of K kb ng and Ni e,
also in Koramaz Valley, served as healing places as well (S.P. 6). There was a pilgrimage
route, which started from the village of Mancusun in Koramaz Valley and ended in Gesi
Pa ap na o Dua (Prayer) Square, the source of water in Gesi; this ritual was accepted
to be effective against natural disasters, especially famine or drought (S.P. 7). The villagers gathered and prayed, and threw horseshoes in the water, where it pooled at the source.
2.2.2. Knowledge and Practices on Nature and the Universe
The traditional methods of agricultural production may be listed in this domain. The
production landscapes, frequently used until the end of the 19 th and the beginning of the
20th centuries in valley villages selected as case study area, include places for livestock,
such as pigeon halls (Image 4), haystacks and barns, and for herb processing, such as dye
and oil mills or bezirhanes. Mills, warehouses, cellars, and ovens as well as wells, fountains, trashing stones (seten, soku) were used collectively (S.P. 8). The cultivated and
collected plants include cehri (buckthorn; Rhamnus), clover, grape vines and willow, walnut, poplar, mulberry trees and wheat field on he G me Plain. Special c af occ pa ion
were derived from these production types, such as millers, farmers, livestock breeders,
viticulturists, etc.
In addition to agricultural production, food processing and preservation was also a
traditional collective activity: These included drying fruits and vegetables (apricots,
plums, mulberries, eggplants, peppers, beans); making molasses from grapes and mulberries, and drying these in thin sheets as pestil; making vinegar and wine from grapes; making butter and yoghurt in stone containers called dorak (Image 5); storing fruit (apples,

grapes) for the winter in caves; making tomato and pepper paste (salça); making jams
and preserves of various fruit; pickling and preserving various vegetables, grape leaves
for sarma, and gilaburu (an endemic plant and its berry) in brine (S.P. 9).

2.2.3. Traditional Craftmanship
Historic rural landscapes are products of the way in which craftsmanship handled
local sources and conditions, or in other words, the interaction between environmental
features and cultural practices and narratives. The volcanic activity of Mount Erciyes,
which continued until 2000 years ago, has resulted in volcanic and sedimentary rock formations in the geological structure, along dominant wind directions towards the valleys.
The visible bedrock is mostly formed by the sedimentation of these pyroclastic formations; these are porous and softer rocks such as tuff and ignimbrites. This geological
structure enabled the creation of a rock carving tradition in the valleys, similar to the
adi ion in G eme and Zel e alle on he e e n ide of he Cappadocian Plain. Underground and cave structures were used as houses, mausoleums, churches/mosques, and
production and storage spaces, such as columbaria (Image 4), mills, cisterns, grape juice
and wine presses, and oil presses or bezirhanes (Image 6). Due to the later development
of settlements over the former caves, the rock-cut underground spaces were reduced to
animal pens, barns, and depots for various goods and products. The agricultural technology was also based on the easily carved stones; trashing stones (seten, soku; Image 2),
basins ( irehane / irane; Image 3), yoghurt containers (dorak; Image 5), ovens (tand r),
and other kitchen equipment were also made from stone. Most of these crafting traditions
continue at the present.

Oil presses or bezirhanes are among the most typical production places unique to the
region. Historic sources list production areas in Kayseri as Koramaz, Sahara and Cebel-i
E ci e ( nba , 1992). The oil, kno n as bezir, was produced from rocket seeds (Eruca
cappadocica), flaxseeds (Linum usitatissimum), bluebottle (Centaurea cyanus) and safflowers (Carthamus tinctorius), which are endemic plants in the region; they were cultivated until the mid-20th century.
There were several different methods of pressing the seeds to produce oil. The production process at the oil mills in the area included the following steps and spaces: (1)
The collected plants were dried by stoves in a separate area; (2) the lightly burned seeds
were turned and milled with a millstone, powered by an animal or with running water;
the millstones could weigh up to 3 tons; (3) the oil was extracted through compression
between timber beams; there were up to 6 juniper beams at each mill for this purpose, and
each of these were 13m long in length and weighed about 1 ton; (4) the extracted oil was
stored in carved basins or pits; (5) there were various storage spaces and animal pens.
(Image 6) The produced bezir oil was used locally and sold commercially; it was used as
cooking oil, lighting fuel, for grooming animals, in balms for healing the wounds on animals, and in paint and soap production.

The rock carving and cutting tradition has resulted in the dominance of constructionrelated crafts: quarrymen, stonemasons, stone cutters (nakka ), plasterers, painters, blacksmiths, tinkers, and carpenters. The area has several unique building traditions, also different from the techniques observed in the rest of the Cappadocian Plain. One of these is
the use of comparatively lighter stones (salta ) for floor and roof claddings over timber
beam , and he imila
e of imbe floo
c e fo fa ade p ojec ion i h one
walls. These practices were probably made possible as a result of the availability of lighter
tuff and pumice stones. (Ba a o l Y ne et al. 2017: 348-353) The heritage of building activity in the valleys includes examples dating to the early 19 th century although the
subterranean structures carved into the rock and later only used as service spaces may be
dated earlier. The resulting tangible architectural heritage in the villages, mostly dated to
the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries is not rural in character.
The densely located houses along the streets with small gardens are similar to a historic
town context. (Elag Tim et al. 2019: 653)
There were a great number of workers from Kayseri Province at construction sites
in Istanbul at the end of the 16th century, and some of them may have become permanent
immigrants in Istanbul in mid-17th century. (Faroqhi 2011: 271) The situation was similar
in the 19th century as many men skilled in construction crafts went to Istanbul during the
winter season to work and earn an additional income, staying at the dormitories provided
by the church and returning in time for agricultural activity in the spring. (Verheij 2017:
25-29) It was perhaps no coincidence that the most famous royal head-architect of the
Ottoman Empire during the Classical Period, Sinan (1489-1588) was from the Village of
A na in Ko ama Valle , and, he o al head-architect of the Ottoman Empire during
the Tulip Period, Kayserili el-Hac Mehme A a (d. 1742) was from the Village of Nize
also in Koramaz Valley (Top 2012: 48). However, this production technology and tradition is about to disappear as stone masonry houses are no longer built in the area while
many have been abandoned and not repaired.
Faroqhi (2011: 174) states that the crafts people in Istanbul were bound more by
their point of origin in Anatolia rather than their ethnic and religious ties. Muslims and
non-Muslims originating from the same cities or regions specialized in the same crafts at
196

Mill F lkl , 2021, Y l 33, Cil 17, Sa
130
the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries. This proves that regional cultural traditions were above ethnic and religious connections in terms of production traditions for craftsmen. The socio-cultural activities of crafts guilds were not limited by religious belief either; Muslim and non-Muslim guild members participated in such activities
together. (Faroqhi 2011: 185)

Handicrafts, mostly practiced by the women at home included needlework, canvas
embroidery and carpet weaving. Carpet weaving was especially profitable for bringing
an extra income. Special root dyes were produced in the valleys to be used in weaving:
oads (Isatis tinctoria) for blue, buckthorn (Rhamnus) for brownish-red, mullein (Verbascum) and milfoil (Achillea millefolium) for yellow, nettle (Urtica dioica) for greyishbrown, onion peel and walnut (Juglans) for brown, and madder (Rubia tinctorum) for
purple.
3. Conclusion: Sustaining Practices for the Future
As of January 2021, there are 584 elements corresponding to 131 countries on the
UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List. These are grouped under three lists: The
Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the List of Intangible
Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding, and the Register of Good Safeguarding Practices. However, national and local elements probably amount to millions. Hafstein (2015) uses ICH metaphorically as a diagnosis of heritage preservation problems,
and their safeguarding as treatment or solutions for these problems. The loss of ICH has
indeed become a sickness that communities all over the world are facing, with many practices rapidly becoming extinct. Its conservation as treatment is also problematic as illustrated by various authors. Such activity generally leads to a loss of meaning and authenticity, making the practices decontextualized, museumified, overcommercialized, disneyified, mummified and theatrical through touristification, nationalization and lack of social
and cultural dialogue. (Hafstein 2015: 284-296; l e
nel 2017a: 361-363)
However, the living and evolving nature of culture and the communities, who define
these elements, sometimes transform beyond recognition. According to Poulios (2014:
139-141), he concep of li ing he i age , a oppo ed o he fo me ma e ial-ba ed and
al e -ba ed app oache o he i age, challenge o e i ing no ion in h ee majo a eas: (1) the conservation process may still be defined by the conservation professionals
but the control and decision-making mechanisms are transferred to the communities; (2)
the emphasis of preservation is transferred from that of tangible heritage to the maintenance of the intangible relationship between communities and heritage; and (3) heritage
is no longer considered a monument of the past that needs to be protected from the interventions of the present community for the sake of future generations, but an inseparable
part of the life of the present community and their charge to protect. This approach removes the conceptual and physical discontinuity between the past and the present-future
in favor of a unified and present continuity. Thus, the focus of heritage conservation shifts

ICH elements may be compensated with the creation of new ones, and the petrified negative conservation of ICH becomes impossible.
Len e ini (2011) fac o of ICH, cited in Section 1.2 of this article, define a comprehensive framework. The first factor, self-recognition and self-identification with ICH
is important for the present and the future, and if directed in a sustainable manner it may
lead to the second factor, the constant recreation of ICH. These are desirable and sustainable approaches to conservation. The third factor, the connection of ICH with the identity
of creators and bearers may prove problematic: In the case of the valley settlements in
Kayseri, the original community of creators and bearers have been replaced almost a century ago. Whether the existing traces of the ICH may be re-connected with the replacement community appears as the central conservation problem. The fourth factor questions
if authenticity is an implicit requirement for ICH: The continuation and revival of ICH

199
Mill F lkl , 2021, Y l 33, Cilt 17, Sa
130
by another community, with a different socio-cultural structure may be problematic and
may lead to a question of authenticity. But even in cases where there is a continuity of
community, the authenticity of ICH becomes problematic through the process of institutional conservation, in which practices become theatrical performances or solely economy and tourism-oriented. The fifth and last factor concerns the interrelationship of ICH
with human rights: In terms of self-recognition or self-identification as well as in the
connection of ICH with its creators and bearers, ICH is a human right. Its loss and extinction, whether intentional or unintentional becomes a violation. Thus, self-reidentification
and sustainable recreation of new connections with transformed communities, which may
also attract descendants of the original creator and bearer communities, may itself become
a tool in overcoming human rights questions as much as it is possible to create new identifications and new connections between these communities.
These are all possible if the ICH is sustained as living heritage. The transformation
from memory to daily practices also provides meaning for the tangible heritage and would
make them living heritage rather than fossils or theatrical decoration. In this context, the
transformation of communities from those who originally created the cultural landscape
to the communities who are using it today becomes acceptable. The conservation profesional foc i ed ced o c ea ing an a a ene in he p e en comm ni abo hei
responsibility, defining the characteristics and quality of the heritage through the physical
remains, existing values and existing social practices and lifestyles. Thus, the act of conservation, itself, is delivered to the community and local stakeholders.
United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) considers the problem
as a global concept rather than focusing only on developing countries. Our Common Future (UN Brundtland Report, 1987: 3/27) define

in the SDG document, comply with the conservation of ICH. Traditional lifestyles and
practices support the culture of sharing, solidarity and social justice as well as multi-cultural and multi-religious communities, shared rituals, festivals and sacred spaces; traditional crafts and agricultural production still bring income and livelihood to many people;
local practices with nature protect ecological systems and biodiversity rather than rapidly
usurping them, while traditional culinary applications provide safer food, a natural diet
and natural methods of food preservation. ( l e
nel 2017b: 28-29) Practices documented from the Northeast Kayseri Valleys of Koramaz, Gesi and Derevenk, provide
good examples in this context, the sustainability of which would be useful for future development.

The human-nature interaction at cultural landscapes is more evident in rural areas,
where a tradition of such mutual interaction produced unique conditions. Some of these
activities may be abandoned as a result of socio-economic conditions. However, they are
retained in collective memory for a more extended period as elements of the behavior and
life-style of communities; life-long practices and learning are powerful tools for remembrance. Such intangible know-how, knowledge and practices need to be documented and
analyzed with their tangible manifestations in order to understand and sustain cultural
heritage, which is formed of physical, natural and socio-cultural layers integrated in various ways. Analyzing cultural landscape areas with a holistic approach is very important
in terms of developing the right conservation methods for both tangible and intangible
heritage.
Some of the production practices and related activities documented and analyzed for
Derevenk, Gesi and Koramaz valleys have disappeared partially or completely as a result
of the changes in demography, socio-cultural characteristics, and economic conditions
and resources. Oil presses and other agricultural production infrastructure such as mills
are no longer in use; some types of livestock, wild pigeons and water buffalos, are no
longer bred; some plants are no longer cultivated; and some commercial activities and
crafts, such as stone-cutting and building, have declined to the point of vanishing, to be
replaced by more global practices. However, they are retained in collective memory and
may be remembered through in-depth interviews with the elders. In order to preserve the
uniqueness and integrity of these valley settlements, where the practices documented in
this article continued until at least the mid-20th century, ensuring the sustainability of
these practices is very important, and this must be carried out with an integrated approach
to tangible and intangible heritage characteristics and values. Documentation of ICH elements, identification of threats and opportunities, and determination of principles and
strategies for sustainable conservation of development, are some of the steps in this proce . In he long e m, p epa ing a c l al he i age managemen plan and li ing h man

The ethnic, religious and cultural diversity of the valley settlements in Koramaz,
Gesi and Derevenk, produced a unique way of life as well as traditions of production and
crafts, defining the identity of the area. Each tangible and intangible element, used or
practiced individually or collectively in the valleys is of equal value and importance. They
are also essential for ensuring the sustainability of these areas in the future as economic
and socio-cultural tools. The changes in the demographic structure cannot be undone. The
cultural diversity of the population was lost by the mid-20th century; it lives in the collective memory of the elder inhabitants. There also are frequent visitors, who come to the
area to see the places where their ancestors lived. This creates a potential and a great
opportunity for re-integrating the past life-styles and practices into the collective memory
of the younger generations. The practices that have declined and ceased are still part of
collective memory and preserved with their physical manifestations, and may be revived
through new interactions with careful work, planning and management. The living heritage approach, which leaves the act of conservation to the community, may provide an
efficient and sustainable model in this context. Socio-cultural transformations and changing human-nature interaction may, thus, provide an opportunity rather than a threat. The
documentation of past and present practices with their physical, natural, economic and
socio-cultural layers, focusing on production, forms a starting point. Conservation of cultural landscapes becomes sustainable through the integration of three parameters: the built
environment, the natural environment and the socio plus environment.
