Özet:

 Some cities were built by powerful rulers because of their strategic location, good weather and fertile soil. The city of Merv was built by the Pishdādid ruler Tehumers. According to one rumor, it was founded by the Turkish king Alp Er Tunga. Although the founder of the city is unknown, it was one of the central cities of Khorasan from the day it was founded until the day it was destroyed and lost to history. Merv is an important city with its mild weather, fertile soil and abundant running water. Historically, it was the crossroads of trade caravans and a center of arts and crafts. The estimated formation date, location, climate, etc. aspects of the city have been evaluated in the light of Ibn Khalduns theory of the city. Especially this aspect is the main subject of our study. In this framework, our study aims to evaluate the reasons for the construction, location, climate and preference of the city of Merv in the light of Ibn Khalduns theory of the city. It has been seen that the city of Merv meets the criteria specified in Ibn Khalduns theory of the city with its foundation, construction and reconstruction, location and climate. In this study based on literature review, secondary data were utilized. The data obtained were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive analysis technique.

 Kimi şehirler, stratejik konumları, güzel hava ve verimli toprakları dolayısıyla muktedir hükümdarlar tarafından inşa edilmiştir. Merv şehri de Pişdâdî hükümdarı Tehumers tarafından inşa edilmiştir. Bir rivayete göre ise Türk hakanı Alp Er Tunga tarafından kurulmuştur. Şehrin kurucusu müşahhas olmasa da kurulduğu günden tahrip edilip tarihe karıştığı güne kadar Horasanın merkezi şehirlerinin başında yer alagelmiştir. Merv, ılıman havası, verimli toprakları ve bol akar suyuyla önemli bir şehirdir. Tarihte ticaret kervanlarının kesiştiği yerdedir, sanat ve zanaat merkezidir. Şehrin tahmini teşekkül tarihi, konumu, iklimi vb. yönleri İbn Haldunun şehir nazariyesi ışığında değerlendirilmiştir. Özellikle bu yönü, çalışmamızın ana konusu oluşturmuştur. Bu çerçevede çalışmamızda Merv şehrinin inşa edilmesi, konumu, iklimi ve tercih sebebine yol açan nedenlerinin, İbn Haldunun şehir nazariyesi ışığında değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Merv şehrinin gerek kuruluşu gerek inşa ve ihyası gerek konum ve iklimi ile İbn Haldunun şehir nazariyesinde belirtildiği kriterlere uygun olduğu görülmüştür. Literatür taramasına dayanan bu çalışmada ikincil verilerden yararlanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, betimsel analiz tekniği kullanılarak analiz edilip yorumlanmıştır.
