Abstract:

 Generally, it is known that cartography started with simple drawings and descriptions. To explain the history of cartography in the context of map history theory, two main theories have been encountered: One theory is chronological; the other is post-modern theory. In this study, within the scope of postmodern theory, the concepts of clima, oikoumene, and orbis terrarum were examined. This is historical research. The representation of the world is transferred between cultures. While it first indicated the representation of the place of residence and the immediate environment, it was later turned into a religious and political structure. In the study, how the concept change took place, the transfers, and the added or removed features were explained with examples from the period. This historical reading is important in terms of exemplifying the place of the elements effective in the emergence, development, and change of the map in post-modern map theory.

 Haritacılığın basit çizim ve tasvirlerle başladığı bilinmektedir. Haritacılık tarihini harita tarihi teorisi bağlamında açıklamak gerekirse belli başlı iki başlık ile karşılaşılmıştır. Bunlardan biri, kronolojik sırlama ile olayların ele alındığı, diğeri postmodern anlayışla temaların işlendiği teoridir. Bu çalışmada postmodern teori kapsamında, Antik Yunan geleneği ile ortaya konulan clima ve Oikoumene ökümen ile Roma coğrafyacılığında temsil bulan orbis terrarum kavramlarının ortaya çıkış, gelişim, kesişim ve değişimi incelenmiştir. Konu kültürler arası aktarım ve mekânın kartografik gösterimlerinin, başka olaylarla etkileşimi bağlamında tarihsel bir araştırma yapılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Dünya imajının gösteriminde kavramlar aynı kalmasına ve kültürler arasında aktarılmasına rağmen, ilkin yaşanılan yer ve yakın çevre gösterimini işaret ederken daha sonra değişime uğramıştır. Çalışmada, kavram değişiminin nasıl gerçekleştiği aktarımların, eklenen veya çıkarılan özelliklerin neler olduğu döneme ait örneklerle açıklanmıştır. Bu tarihsel okuma, haritanın ortaya çıkış, gelişim ve değişiminde etkili unsurların post modern harita teorisindeki yerinin örneklendirilmesi bakımından önemlidir.
