The main subject of the thesis is revealing cultural routes, by the evaluation of ancient roads which have cultural accumulation on and around them. Considering the unique character of cultural routes, their formation as a consequence of cultural accumulation in a region is the main objective of the thesis. The thesis aims to explore the basic principles of cultural route planning and management in regard to the contexts of natural, man-made, temporal, social and cultural, functional, visual and aesthetic, economic, administrative and spiritual components of cultural accumulation and cultural landscapes. Means that can be used to conserve and sustain their specific character are sought. In doing this, the research is structured in two main parts. It both covers a theoretical framework of conceptual principles and a case study. In the first part, together with the development process of the cultural route concept, different definitions and classifications declared on the issue, thesis mainly discusses the principles of cultural route planning and management. In the second part, based on the theoretical research, the process from an ancient road to a cultural route is reviewed through a case study together with its planning and management principles. As the case study of the thesis, the road between Milas and Labraunda is selected since it has a potential of transformation to a cultural route. By assessing it in a holistic manner, the work is finalized by a spatial cultural route proposal. .
