This study discussed the transition to indigenous life that led to changes in the religious, cultural and social life of the Tahtacians and the changes that occurred with the broad education provided by the Republic. The cultural life and the role of the grandfather, which is of importance for the thieves, continues to influence, despite the change. A reflection of the processes of change that the thieves passed, was the subject of this work. This study has been discussed with the changes and developments found in the field research conducted on the Tahtacians living between Muğla-Antalya. The traditions and values of the Tahtacians living between Muğla-Antalya have reached to this day, especially the cultural and social self-specific of the Tahtacians as a migratory social culture and way of life, are still subject to many research as a sociological element. These people were limited because of their immigration lifestyle, and because of their work they were given the name of the Thief. With the transition from the immigrant way of life to the settled way of life, the way of life has also changed. Despite the Alevi identity, despite the differences in cultural and religious principles, the Tahtacians who live together with the Sunni community, gradually began to change the values they adopted by the influence of congestive. With the established life and the Republic, many things have begun to change from the economic affairs of the Tahtacians to their social lives. The authority of the grandparents has slowly been challenged by weakening, and the commitment to a person or a crowd in production has begun to disappear. Despite all the changes, it is a fact that the doctrines of Alevianity and the foundations of beliefs are not completely changed or disappeared, and that it can beined to a great extent.
