Özet:

 The purpose of this study is to reveal the extent to which the logos of municipalities affiliated with the province of Ordu reflect the geographical texture physical and human of the places they represent. In this context, a qualitative study was conducted, and a document analysis pattern was used in the research. The municipal logos used in the research were obtained from the official websites of the municipalities. Each municipal logo was then subjected to a detailed content analysis in alphabetical order. While analyzing the logos, the extent to which they reflected the physical and human geography characteristics of the district or province they represented was taken into consideration. Additionally, to increase the reliability of the analysis, the municipalities were contacted during the analysis of the logos, and information about the meanings of the logos was obtained from the relevant unit experts. Field studies were conducted to observe how well the logos corresponded to geographical conditions. The study found that a significant portion of the physical and human geography characteristics of Ordu Province were reflected in the municipal logos. A total of 20 municipal logos were analyzed, and 32 different types of figures were identified in these logos. When a general evaluation of the municipal logos of Ordu Province was made, it was observed that figures related to physical geography, particularly natural structures, were heavily used in the logos. It was also determined that the figures related to human geography used in the logos were mostly figures closely related to natural environments, such as agriculture. When planning a study on the renewal of the logos of the districts represented by the municipalities, it is essential to increase the number of human geography elements in the logos. Logo renewal studies should be carried out at specific intervals, and it is recommended that logos be renewed according to the development characteristics of the districts.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, Ordu iline bağlı belediyelerin logolarının, temsil ettikleri mekânın coğrafi dokusunu fizikî ve beşerî yansıtma düzeyini ortaya koymaktır. Bu bağlamda nitel bir çalışma yürütülmüş ve araştırmada doküman analizi deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında kullanılan belediye logoları, belediyelerin resmî web sitelerinden temin edilmiştir. Ardından her bir belediye logosu alfabetik sırayla detaylı olarak içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Logolar analiz edilirken temsil ettiği ilçe ya da ilin fizikî ve beşerî coğrafya özelliklerini ne ölçüde yansıttığı dikkate alınmıştır. Bununla birlikte analizin güvenilirliğini arttırmak amacıyla logoların analizi sırasında belediyelerle de iletişime geçilerek ilgili birim uzmanlarından logoların anlamlarına dair bilgiler alınmıştır. Arazi çalışmaları ile logoların coğrafî şartlarla ne kadar uyumlu olduğu yerinde gözlenmiştir. Çalışma ile Ordu ilinin sahip olduğu fizikî ve beşerî coğrafya özelliklerinin önemli bir bölümünün belediye logolarına yansıdığı tespit edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen analiz ile toplam 20 belediyeye ait logolar incelenmiş ve 32 farklı türde figürün bu logolarda yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Ordu ili belediye logoları ile ilgili genel bir değerlendirme yapıldığında ağırlıklı olarak fizikî coğrafya ile ilgili olarak doğal yapıya ait figürlerin logolarda yoğun olarak kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Logolarda kullanılan beşerî coğrafya ile ilgili figürlerin de büyük çoğunlukla tarım gibi doğal ortam ile yakından ilişkili figürler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Belediyelerin temsil ettikleri ilçelerin logolarının yenilenmesi hususunda bir çalışma yapılması planlandığında beşerî coğrafya unsurlarının logolardaki sayısının mutlaka arttırılması gerekmektedir. Logolarda yenileme çalışmaları belirli dönemlerde yapılmalı ve ilçelerin gelişim özelliklerine göre logoların yenilenmesi önerilmektedir.
