Cultural landscape is a mutual product of human and nature. Local features, on the other hand, are the indicators of genuine and
affluent cultural landscape. The areas which are able to preserve their local features, provide available space for various kind of
recreational activities besides their genuine values, their effect on space perception and improving the sense of belonging. Such kind
of cultural landscape is offered as touristic turnouts and they form a kind of attractive and directive force when recreational and
tourism activities are considered. However, urban development and conversion cause transformation on conventional settlements in
time and thus change the genuine values of these settlements. With modernisation great numbers of conventional settlements are
being abandoned or their local features, which are their genuine characteristics, are being destroyed through conversion. Unless a
kind of sufficient and conscious planning is made for these spaces, they are to face the danger of losing their genuine local feature
values. In this study, which aims to set forth a planning conclusion on protecting cultural landscape efficiently, local features that are
of important components of cultural landscape have been evaluated on the scale of Gölyazı sample and its supplementary role on
cultural landscape has been aimed to be put forward. Data acquisition, analysis, synthesis and assessment constitute the study
methods.
