Özet:

The Ottoman Empire acquired lands in more than one continent with its conquest movements, evaluated the people in the regions within its sphere of influence within the framework of Turkish-Islamic culture, but did not interfere with their cultural, religious, and national elements. The Ottoman Turkish culture, whose sphere of influence expanded in the Balkans from the beginning of the 13th century - AD. 4-5. If the Turkish tribes, which were transferred to the Balkan geography in the centuries, are accepted as the first layer, they formed the second Turkish cultural layer in the region. The elements of Turkish cultural ecology have affected the non-Muslim subjects living in the region and have taken a place in the memory of the society. These elements of Turkism inspired especially literary figures and the Turkish imagination in their minds was reflected in their works. In this context, writer Ivo Andric from Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the important personalities. Andric wrote works consisting of motifs related to the presence of the Ottoman Empire in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this study, the stories in Ivo Andric's work titled Death in Sinan's Lodge are discussed by focusing on the reflections of Turkish cultural ecology in the non-Turkish elements of the Balkans. While these stories were evaluated in the areas of person/time/space with the structuralist method, Turkish cultural elements were tried to be determined in the content analysis of the stories.
