Project Abstract

The "Şehrim Adıyaman" project aimed to identify the factors that contribute to the development of urban consciousness and culture in Adıyaman, which is part of the TRC1 region. Additionally, it sought to establish the necessary conditions to preserve and sustain these elements.

By enhancing urban culture and awareness, the project has increased the people of Adıyaman’s recognition of their city. Surveys, field studies, and workshops conducted within the scope of the project have strengthened citizens' connection to their urban identity and played a significant role in preserving cultural heritage.

This project is directly linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

  • SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities): Strengthening urban culture and identity has fostered a sense of belonging among residents, contributing to sustainable urbanization.
  • SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth): Identifying and promoting traditional artisans has helped revitalize disappearing crafts and support local employment.
  • SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production): The identification and promotion of products eligible for geographical indication have contributed to the protection of local goods and their economic value.
  • SDG 4 (Quality Education): Awareness-raising efforts have helped young people and students recognize and embrace their cultural heritage.

Through broad participation in events and increased visibility, the project has reached approximately 15,000 people, raising public awareness and making a significant contribution to strengthening urban culture and sustainable development.
