Özet:

In the post-modern society, tourism mobility has increased with the improvement in welfare, information and communication technologies, and technological developments in transportation. Such mobility has also increased the diversity of historical presentations. Periods, events, and wars experienced throughout the history of humanity have also been reopened with representations in media such as the internet, movies, TV series, computer games, and tourism. After the spread of mass tourism throughout the world, alternative tourism and special interest tourism have also diversified the way tourism operates. The increasing diversity of tourism has accelerated the transition from traditional tourism types to experience-oriented tourism types. Battlefield tourism and living history are identified as a part of experience-oriented tourism. History, which is a living phenomenon, has dominantly been presented mostly in pages, which have dead characteristics. However, this case is altering recently. One of these live presentations within the scope of battlefield tourism is living history communities. In this study, living historical societies are discussed through a descriptive case study. Data were obtained from secondary sources. In the light of these data, information about living history communities around the world has been compiled. Some suggestions have been made about the transmission of history to future generations by tourism through both learning and entertainment.
