It makes this village produce a good sense of place for its visitors. However, with the development of the times, there are problems such as street corridors that are no longer actively trading; houses have begun to be abandoned by their owners; and functions of spaces are changing. These have certainly made the sense of place of this village to be disturbed. In this context, this study examines the influence of changes in the village activities on sense of place attached to people's memories. The study employs qualitative methods to examine this phenomena and problems related to sense of place present in the area. Observations and interviews are used as research instruments.
