Özet:

Gümüşhane Dölek Village is one of the few places in Anatolia where traditional wheelless pottery is still alive. This study aims to reveal the culture that developed around pottery made in that village. In this context, long-term fieldwork was conducted in the relevant village and the history and culture of pottery-making was tried to be understood through in-depth interviews with pottery masters and sellers. In this context, pottery production processes, forms, marketing and the role of pottery in shaping the culture of the society were emphasized. The results of the study show that the daily life in the village is largely shaped around pottery activities; however, it has recently shown that there has been a decline in pottery, especially due to migrations and technological developments. It has been determined that the modernization efforts planned by official institutions with top-down approaches to stop this decline did not yield any tangible results. In order to keep pottery alive and sustainable, there is a need for support programs that prioritize the needs of local people, are compatible with sustainable development goals and do not put pressure on natural resources that are used for pottery production.Çalışmanın diğer dildeki özeti burada yer almalı Özet en az 120 en fazla 200 kelime olmalı Çalışma hangi dilde yazılmış ise o dildeki özeti yukarda yer almalıdır.
