Résumé en anglais

PART 2. RECOGNIZING INTANGIBLE HERITAGE AND DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES - Stewardship of Biocultural Landscapes in the 21st Century: The Role of Traditional Knowledge and Practices /// The agricultural landscapes and lifestyles of the Lazi and Hemshin people in Findikli, Turkey are rapidly evolving as agricultural production changes from hazelnuts for regional markets to tea for global distribution. Historically, intangible community social relationships and cultural practices as well as tangible land uses and built structures reflected the activities and functions of each group’s family-based farming. Wide-scale tea production is erasing the region’s cultural and physical heritage, often before local residents are even aware of the physical losses and cultural implications. This study was conducted to discover and document connections between the communities’ social and cultural relationships, land uses and agricultural practices. Multiple community-based research methods were used to collect data from local residents as well as those with family or community connections to the area. Collectively, the methods extracted indications of the values the Lazi and Hemshin hold concerning their tangible and intangible heritage elements. Coincidentally, the research process also coalesced awareness of the threats and incremental changes to their communities’ social and cultural practices.
