Abstract
Watermills are examples of industrial and cultural heritage used for production that work with the principle of generation of energy using hydraulic power. This paper presents an individual research on traditional watermills in Turkey. As a result of the research in different water sub-basins, it was observed that they are nonregistered. In order to achieve effective conservation, creating inventories for the identified watermills was aimed. Accordingly, “watermill inventory” model was developed by creating two different forms about settlement and structure details, according to the principles stated in “Turkey Cultural Inventory Project Guide” for the purpose of starting the certification process. These forms were used for documenting (11) watermills that were identified in the Mediterranean region.
