Abstract
“Türk hamamı” yaşayan ve kuşaklar boyu aktarılan bir kültürel zenginliğin önemli bir simgesi olduğundan hem somut hem de somut olmayan kültürel mirasın birlikte korunması ve sürdürülmesi açısından önemli bir örnektir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; somut ve somut olmayan kültürel mirasın birlikte korunması ve sürdürülmesi bağlamında Türk hamamının mekânsal, fonksiyonel ve geleneksel özelliklerinin ortaya konulması ve Türk hamamı objelerinin ayrıntılı olarak incelenmesidir. Çalışmada ayrıca, somut kültürel mirasın korunması bağlamında, tarihi değeri olan ve müzelere dönüştürülen hamamların da incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanı yöntemi, kültürel mirasın korunması ve Türk hamam kültürü ile ilgili literatürün taranmasına dayanan betimsel tarama modelidir. Türk hamamının mekânsal, fonksiyonel ve geleneksel özelliklerinin yanı sıra Türk hamamı objelerinin özelliklerini vurgulayan ve Türk hamamı müzelerini yansıtan örnekler içeren görseller ile literatür bulguları desteklenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuç bölümünde, Türk hamam geleneğinin yaşatılabilmesi, somut ve somut olmayan kültürel mirasın birlikte korunması açısından Anadolu’nun hemen her kentinde yer alan tarihi hamamların fonksiyonlarını sürdürülmesi için çaba gösterilmesinin önemine değinilmiş, bunun mümkün olmadığı durumlarda ise hamamların müzelere dönüştürülerek kaybolmalarının önlenmesinin en azından somut kültürel mirasın korunması açısından bir çözüm olarak görülmesi gerektiği vurgulanmıştır.
