 Determining the awareness of local people regarding intangible cultural heritage elements is of vital importance for a society to protect, preserve and pass on its cultural heritage to future generations. The aim of this study is to examine the awareness levels of local people in Balıkesir regarding intangible cultural heritage and the relationship between this awareness and demographic factors. In the study conducted using the survey method, data were collected from 405 participants between April 04 and April 12, 2024. In the data collection phase of the study, convenience sampling method was used. The data were analyzed using the SPSS program. The research results reveal that variables such as gender, marital status, hometown, age group and duration of residence in Balıkesir lead to significant differences in intangible cultural heritage awareness. It was determined that womens awareness levels were higher than men, married individuals exhibited more awareness compared to singles, and individuals born and raised in Balıkesir had higher awareness levels than other individuals. In addition, differences were found between age groups; it was determined that middle-aged and older individuals gave more importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage compared to young people. The awareness levels of individuals who have lived in Balıkesir for a long time were found to be higher than those who have resided for a shorter time. These results highlight the role of demographic variables in the protection of intangible cultural heritage and reveal the importance of strategies to raise public awareness to ensure the sustainability of cultural heritage.

 Yerel halkın somut olmayan kültürel miras unsurlarına yönelik farkındalığının belirlenmesi, bir toplumun kültürel mirasını koruması, yaşatması ve gelecek nesillere aktarması için hayati öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Balıkesirdeki yerel halkın somut olmayan kültürel mirasa ilişkin farkındalık düzeylerini ve bu farkındalığın demografik faktörlerle olan ilişkisini incelemektedir. Anket yöntemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen çalışmada, 04 Nisan - 12 Nisan 2024 tarihleri arasında 405 katılımcıdan veriler toplanmıştır. Çalışmanın veri toplama aşamasında, kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi, SPSS yazılımı kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, cinsiyet, medeni durum, memleket, yaş grubu ve Balıkesirde yaşama süresi gibi değişkenlerin, somut olmayan kültürel miras farkındalığı üzerinde anlamlı farklılıklara yol açtığını ortaya koymaktadır. Kadınların farkındalık düzeylerinin erkeklerden daha yüksek olduğu, evli bireylerin bekârlara kıyasla daha fazla farkındalık sergilediği, Balıkesirde doğmuş ve büyümüş bireylerin farkındalık düzeylerinin diğer bireylere göre daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, yaş grupları arasında da farklılıklar bulunmuş; orta yaş ve üzeri bireylerin, gençlere kıyasla somut olmayan kültürel mirasın korunmasına daha fazla önem verdikleri tespit edilmiştir. Balıkesirde uzun süre yaşamış bireylerin farkındalık düzeyleri, daha kısa süreli ikamet edenlere göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçlar, somut olmayan kültürel mirasın korunmasında demografik değişkenlerin rolünü vurgulamakta ve kültürel mirasın sürdürülebilirliğini sağlamak için toplumsal farkındalığın artırılmasına yönelik stratejilerin önemini ortaya koymaktadır.
