Araştırmada Van yöresine ait geleneksel baş süslemelerinin tarihsel süreç içerisinde incelenerek Urartu döneminden günümüze kadar süren değişimi incelenmiştir. Bu süreçte geleneksel kıyafetler ve baş süslemelerinde çok büyük bir değişiklik olmadığı gözlenmiştir.Araştırmanın evrenini Van yöresinde kullanılan geleneksel baş süslemeleri, müzedeki eserler, literatürdeki bilgiler oluşturmaktadır. Geleneksel baş süslemelerini halen kullanan kadınlara ulaşılamamıştır. Kullanılmış ve sandıklarda saklanmış olan başlıklar giyilerek fotoğraflanmıştır. Günümüz şartlarına ayak uydurmaya çalışan Van yöresi kadınları kullandıkları yeni ve süslü başörtüleri ile kendilerini süslemektedirler. Bu araştırma kapsamında; başlıklar, tepelikler, kofi, baş süslemelerinde kullanılan takıları için gözlem formu kullanılmıştır. Bu gözlem formlarındaki örnekler kompozisyon özellikleri açısından incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda;1. Geleneksel baş süslemelerini kullanan kadınlar günden güne azalmaktadır.2. Geleneksel başlıkların yapımında kullanılan malzemeler zaman içerisinde değişikliğe uğramaktadır.3. Başlıklara Van yöresi el sanatları içerisinde gereken önem verilmediğinden değeri bilinmemekte ve az miktarda da olsa sandıklarda rastlanmaktadır.4. Yeni nesil geleneksel kıyafetlerimiz hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadığından istenilen bilgilere ulaşılamamıştır.Bu araştırmanın sonunda ortaya çıkan sorunlara araştırmacı bir takım öneriler de bulunmaktadır.
