Mücahit YILDIRIM

There has been a lot of know-how in terms of reviewing site names, historical development and the characteristics of the geography in which it is located. In the examination of geographical names, it is no doubt most geographers' interest to mention that space, ie geographical events, is developed, influenced and influenced, besides being interested in this subject by many scientists. The purpose of this study is to determine where the names of places and locations in the Yakakent district of Samsun province originate and to shed light on the natural and human geographical characteristics of the area. In the study, 1 / 100.000 Scale E34-E35-F34-F35 scales were used and all the names in the map were subtracted to try to determine the source of these names with land surwey. It has been determined that natural and human geographical factors are very effective in determining the place and location names used in Yakakent. Particularly, natural geographical features in the region are being used intensively with names related to ground form and plant species. Also, the names of places and locations used in relation to person names, economic activities and animal names are widely used. The natural, human and economic geographical features, which have a great influence on the name of the village and the place name, have been influential in putting the existing village and place names in the Yakakent county. Place names are part of our culture and it is possible to draw many geographical, historical and cultural information and conclusions from these names. Based on the place names, many hidden practices and wealth of culture can be revealed. In this respect, studies on place names gain a special importance. As it is understood from the place names used, the local people are affected by geographic factors. They gave their names to the places where they live, inspired by the physical, human and economic characteristics of the region where they live, and at the same time shed light on the geographical characteristics of the place.
