A Method Suggestion for Examining Old Maps

Nazan Karakaş Özür

The map is a fundamental element for the study of geography. The activity of drawing on paper, which correspondsto a concept, has a function far beyond its meaning. Throughout the history of humanity, drawing, which is a third language apart from speaking and writing, has facilitated the display and transmission of many kinds of information. As a drawing activity, the map has followed a developmental line over time, and a unique expression language has been developed. However, the purpose of use of maps has not changed much in essence. Mankind has always used maps to describe the earth, also loaded many other information into this description. Large amount of geographic information could be transferred to reasonably sized planar surfaces using drawing and representation techniques on maps. Thus, it has become both a useful tool in the description of the earth and a practical tool in storing information. Apart from the features of the maps in the field of science, they also have important places in the artistic, psychological, social, and political dimensions. Maps, which are also a part of the history of geography, are known as important evidence in periodical studies. For this reason, it is necessary to examine them using certain criteria according to their various characteristics.

Eski Haritaları İncelemede Bir Yöntem Önerisi

Nazan Karakaş Özür

Harita, coğrafya çalışmaları için temel bir unsurdur. Kavram olarak karşılık bulduğu kâğıt üzerine çizme faaliyeti anlamının çok ötesinde bir işleve sahiptir. İnsanlık tarihi boyunca konuşma ve yazma dışında üçüncü bir dil olan çizim, birçok bilginin gösteriminde ve iletiminde kolaylık sağlamıştır. Bir çizim faaliyeti olarak harita,zaman içinde gelişimsel bir çizgi takip etmiş, kendine has bir anlatım dili geliştirilmiştir. Ancak haritaların kullanım amaçları özünde çok değişmemiştir. İnsanoğlu, haritaları her dönem yeryüzünü tasvir etmede kullanmış, başka birçok bilgiyi de bu tasvir içine yüklemiştir. Büyük miktardaki coğrafi bilgi, haritalardaki çizim ve gösterim teknikleri kullanılarak, makul ölçüdeki düzlemsel yüzeylere aktarılabilmiştir. Böylece hem yeryüzünün tasvirinde kullanışlı, hem de bilgi depolamakta pratik bir araç olmuştur. Haritaların bilim alanlarına konu olan özellikleri dışında sanatsal, içsel yani psikolojik, toplumsal ve siyasi boyutta da önemli yerleri vardır. Aynı zamanda coğrafya tarihinin bir parçası olan haritalar, dönemsel incelemelerde önemli birer kanıt olarak bilinir. Bu nedenledir ki çeşitli özelliklerine göre belli kriterler kullanılarak incelenmesi gereklidir.


Keywords: Coğrafya, Coğrafya Tarihi, Harita, Eski Harita, Harita Analizi
