Özet
Culture gives itself to the basic framework in which communities define themselves and make sense of the world. This framework also answers the questions who am I? and where am I? In terms of playing a central role in community life, transition rites are important cultural practices that direct/direct people's behavior and attitudes. Many rhythms of transition, such as birth, weddings, and death, corresponding to the areas in which people intensively generate attitudes and behaviors. Hidirellez is one of the transition ceremonies celebrated commonly in many different ways. Many practices which have been implemented from the history up to today are available in these ceremonies. One of the common points in these rituals is food and the other is the sacrificial animal and religious offering. The study was made in a perspective including the ethnographic observations spreading over 4-year long period and the interview in depth. The fact that the researcher has been settled in Karabuk for a long time has been an important tool in the construction of the field by long-term experience. The research considered the meanings attributed to Hidirellez as the upper context in the sample of Karabuk. Moreover, the determination about how an identification a societies' members comprise in Hidirellez against the social changing became the research's sub-context. Hidirellez which is the joint share of individuals coming one-day from the upstate to Karabuk with their fellow citizens is the total of process which provides the intergeneration connections beyond the spring celebration, sustains the traditions and is the expression of being from Karabuk. The most basic meaning given to Hidirellez in Karabuk was observed as the transfer of cultural practices during the study. Moreover, the concretion of this role reflected onto the results with its power strengthening the society connections and gathering the generations. When it is associated with the oppression made by the traditions and cutlure that Karabuk is an industrial city and has received the migration from the outside, Hidirellez's aforementioned aspects was found important in the context of making an identification. In the study, the data of 4-year field work which was made upon going to the villages of Ovacuma, Karit and Konari connected to Karabuk/Safranbolu was presented. The celebrations were observed in fact, and the participants were asked about the questions, the meanings that they attribute to Hidirellez, the traditions which are made in Hidirellez, the differences between the pass and today, how the society aspect is sustained, the impact of Hidirellez on the cultural memory and how Hidirellez transformed upon the migration. The qualitative research design was used in the research, and it was made of the interviews, observations and photographies. The interviews were made with 20 persons from Ovacuma, 8 in Karit and 8 in Konari (21 female and 15 male persons). In the study that it was determined that the traditional meaning of Hidirellez is valid in Karabuk, the association of traditional implementations attracted the attention and the ongoing meanings of meeting the spring in Turkish culture for centuries were found. Hidirellez turned into a ritual that the migrant people from Karabuk try to sustain their hometown identifications and to strengthen the intergenerational connections, as a different feature.
