Ritual Landscape From the Perspective of Landscape Tourism

Abstract

The concept of “ritual landscaping,” which originated in British archaeology in the early 1980s, is separated from more traditional monuments and sit research on classification, dating, and political sites. Ritual landscaping as an objective-mental phenomenon is nature’s desire, and their beliefs are suited to where they are included in traditions and rituals. Ritual landscaping as a landscape phenomenon has permeated history and people over time and remained in people’s minds as a predetermined principle. The ritual describes a societal phenomenon expressed from the past to the present, through transplantation, verbally and hands- on, and through standard rhythmic movements and symbolic language that persists through social engagement. The necessity to make meaningful and desecrate vital elements to understand and represent the world and its phenomena is among the grounds for the formation of rituals and ritual landscapes to ensure cultural and identity stability. In order to demonstrate the dimensions of ritual landscapes in the landscape tourism approach in this study, previous studies in the relevant field were examined under the headlines “landscape tourism,” “Ritual Landscapes,” “social needs of cultural- ritual spaces” and “Ritual Tourism.” Although there have been various studies on landscape and tourism relations, ritual landscapes, social needs of cultural- ritual spaces and ritual tourism in the eastern and western worlds, there are not many current studies on “Ritual Landscape” and “Ritual Tourism” in particular. © 2023 Peter Lang GmbH, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften.
