Özet:

People's science, from the early periods of the illumination in which it began to find its place in social and human sciences, has continued its development through two powerful paths and currents in the form of researching the cultural history and origin of mankind and building a new national identity from the verbal cultural values that are being destroyed. These two perspectives have served to protect the folklore with new productions formed by the "application" which arises through the "collection", "publishing", "archiving", "museuming" forms of data collection and storage and the "application" which arises through the "application" which is a method for supporting the new identity building carried out by most non-community actors. But although it is a reward in the scientific or artistic field, it is understood in the time when the model of application in the form of "save", "depolation" or "conservation" of folklore products is understood in the time when there is no sustainable protection based on "save", "production" and "reservation" within the community and by the community. Many social, cultural or economic phenomena, such as industrialization, urbanization, migration, modernization or globalization, have emerged with the idea that the community must be transmitted from generation to generation and cannot preserve the living cultural heritage that forms the elements of its cultural identity and membership. During these searches, UNESCO’s work on the protection of the concrete and non- concrete cultural heritage has encountered the intense interest of the states, scientists and civil society. The 1989 Advisory Decision on the Protection of Traditional Culture and Folklore and the experience gained during the implementation of this Decision, the 1994 prepared Living Human Treasures and the 1997-started Humanity's Verbal and Non-Thematic Cultural Heritage Excellence Programmes, the interest and the discussion created, have brought the idea of preparing a contract on this issue. The SOKÜM Convention, which was thus emerging and carefully monitored by the international community, has developed a new model of protection that focuses on the transmission from generation to generation, production within the community, and reanimation by the community, by indicating the lack of methods of documentation for science and inspiration for art in the protection of folklore. The Convention calls for the protection of cultural identity and membership and for the sustainable development of the community to guarantee the viability of elements called non-specific cultural heritage. National levels of inventory, education, participation; international levels of assistance and listing processes accordingly. This method of protection and the practices adopted by the international community, which is proposed and started with the first records made in the Representative List of Humanity’s Non-Thematic Cultural Heritage since 2008, is monitored by scientists and discussed the possibilities and problems of achieving their objectives. In Turkey, even though a few scientists are monitoring the results of the studies on the protection of the non-specific cultural heritage through the transfer of generation to generation within the community and the problems it creates at various levels. All national and international actions and actions aimed at protecting this issue will be able to obtain more enlightening and interpretable results by scientific research.
