Publication: Düzce ili Akçakoca ilçesinin folklorik unsurları
Abstract
Akçakoca’ya ilk Türk yerleşimi Selçuklular zamanında, Bizans tarafından bin atlı asker talebinin gelmesiyle olmuştur. Akçakocalı yerli Türkler, “Manav Türkleri” olarak anılmaktadır; ancak sayıları günümüzde çok azdır. Akçakoca, özellikle 19. yy. sonu, 20. yy. başı gibi; Doğu Karadeniz, Balkanlar, Batum ve Kafkaslardan göç almıştır. Bu durum kültür çeşitliliğini sağlamıştır. Akçakoca’nın ekonomisini oluşturan fındıkçılık, turizm ve balıkçılığın iyileştirilip çeşitlendirilmesi, tanıtımının yapılması, kentteki iş olanaklarının geliştirilmesi düşünülmektedir; çünkü bu durum genç nüfusun kentten ayrılmasına yol açmakta ve aynı zamanda geleneklerin yeni nesiller tarafından yaşatılmasını imkânsız hâle getirmektedir. Çalışmada, “Akçakoca’nın folklorik unsurları nelerdir?” sorusundan yola çıkılarak ilçenin kültürü hakkında araştırmalar yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, günümüzde kırk bin nüfusa sahip Akçakoca’nın özellikle tarihi, halk anlatıları, geçiş aşamaları, halk mutfağı, kültür, oyun ve eğlence vb. bakımlarından önemli ve değerli bir kent olduğunu göstermektir. Akçakoca adına yapılmış toplam 37 tane tez bulunmaktadır. Bu tezler genel olarak turizm, coğrafya, mühendislik, mimarlık üzerine yazılmıştır. Bu çalışma ile folklor alanındaki eksiklik giderilmeye çalışılmıştır ve kültür çalışmalarına katkı sağlaması hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmada, sahada derleme yöntemlerinden gözlem/ mülakat kullanılmış olup konuyla ilgili literatür taraması yapılmış, elektronik kültür ortamından da ilgili veriler derlenerek değerlendirilmiştir.
