City Stamps are important historical documents that reflect a wide variety of national identity values such as cultural, social, economic, historical, touristic, architectural and take an active role in the promotion of cities. Information on stamps describes the history of a city or a country through its structure, work, subject, and theme. This study aims to understand the urban and architectural identity that the "Great Hometown Cities" postage stamps of Turkey's 67 provinces try to reflect. The study examined the artist's perception of urban environment identity at the time the stamps were created. In the conceptual and theoretical approach of the study, items with imaginative features were analyzed using artificial and natural environmental identity components. Three stages are involved in the study. The first stage grouped the stamps regionally and performed spatial readings on them. Second, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to determine the environmental identity criterion weights. In the third stage, the perception of urban identity (environmental) reflected by the provinces was interpreted regionally. Perceptions of environmental identity varied by region at the end of the study. With changing environmental conditions, the impact of the same component on people in a different city change and affects identity formation differently. With selected methods, the perception of identity can be measured, which is abstract data. Stamps should also be preserved as documents of urban memory, since they reflect historical periods and cultural heritage, as well as pictures of the city

Kent Pullar�, ait olduklar� �lkenin k�lt�rel, sosyal, ekonomik, tarihsel, turistik, mimari gibi �ok �e�itli ulusal kimlik de�erlerini yans�tan ve kentlerin tan�t�lmas�nda etkin rol alan �nemli tarihsel belgelerdir. Pullar, �zerlerindeki yap�, eser, konu, tema gibi bilgiler arac�l�� ile bir kentin, bir �lkenin tarihini nitelemektedirler.Bu �al��man�n konusu 1958-1960 y�llar� aras�nda bas�lm�� olan T�rkiye�nin 67 vilayetine ait �B�y�k Memleket �ehirleri� posta pullar�n�n, kent ve mimari �l�ekte yans�tmak istedi�i �evresel kimli�i anlamaya �al��makt�r. �al��ma kapsam�nda, pullar�n resmedildikleri tarihteki sanat��n�n imgelem alan�ndaki kentsel �evre de kimlik alg�s� ele al�nm��t�r. �mgesel �zellik g�steren ��eler, �al��man�n kavramsal ve kuramsal yakla��m�nda ortaya konan yapay ve do�al �evre kimlik bile�enleri kullan�larak analiz edilmi�tir. �al��ma �� temel a�amada kurgulanm��, birinci a�amada pullar, b�lgesel olarak grupland�r�lm�� ve �zerinde mek�nsal okuma ger�ekle�tirilmi�tir. �kinci a�amada, �evresel kimli�i olu�turan kriter a��rl�klar�n�n belirlenmesi i�in Analitik Hiyerar�i S�reci (AHP) y�ntemi kullan�lm��t�r. ��nc� a�amada, vilayetlerin yans�tm�� oldu�u kent kimli�i(�evresel) alg�s�, say�salla�t�r�lan veri setlerinin birlikte de�erlendirilmesi ile b�lgesel olarak yorumlanm��t�r. �al��man�n sonunda �evresel kimlik alg�s�n�n, b�lgelere g�re farkl�l�klara sahip oldu�u g�r�lm��t�r. De�i�en �evre ko�ullar� ile, ayn� bile�enin farkl� bir kentte, insan �zerinde b�rakt�� etkinin de�i�ti�i ve kimlik olu�umunu farkl� oranlarda etkiledi�i g�r�lm��t�r. Soyut bir veri olan kimlik alg�s�n�n, se�ilen y�ntemler ile �l��lebilir nitelikte oldu�u ortaya koyulmu�tur.Ayr�ca pullar, �zerinde yer alan kent resimleri ile tarihsel bir d�nemi ve k�lt�rel miras� yans�tmas� nedeniyle, kent belle�i arac� olarak korunmas� gereken belge niteli�i ta��maktad�r.
