Özet
Kazda?i is known in mythology as the Mount Ida (Kazda?i, Goose mount). Homer mentions Mount Ida in his two epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Afterwards, from the Ottoman times a story has been narrated about Father Cilbak and his yellow daughter (Golden Maiden) in the Kazda?i by the nomadic Turkmens. They have organized the religious ceremony at Kazda?i National Park especially summit area in every August. A lot of plant specimens have been gathered illegally by visitors and local people that live on foot of the mount were established during the ceremony. The investigation records show that 29 taxa are used for medicinal, 12 taxa are used for food and spices, 10 taxa are used for ornament, home goods, and cosmetics. Leaves of 12 taxa (23.5%), stems of 8 taxa (15.7%), fruits of 2 taxa (3.92%), flowers of 3 taxa (5.88%), tuber of 1 taxon (1.96%), roots of 2 taxa (3.92%), bark of 1 taxon (1.92%) are used for single. Different organs of other plants (43.16%) are used together. Sideritis trojana, Thymus pulvinatus, Thymus sipyleus subsp. sipyleus var. sipyleus and Thymus zygioides subsp. lycaonicus of these plants are in danger because of awfully gathering, therefore, conservation suggestion was brought. © EuroJournals Publishing, Inc. 2008.
