Abstract

Bozkır is an old town established on the skirts of the Taurus Mountains, and contain various tectonic units, eg. Bozkır unit, extending laterally several hundreds of kilometres. The Bozkır unit typically crops out and hence named around Bozkır district. It is formed by deep sea sediments, ophiolites and submarine basic volcanic rocks, all of which overlied by well-exposed Paleogene and Neogene? units. Bozkır is rich not only for its geological occurrence, but also for its culture, history and nature. Bozkır is in a central position of ancient Isauria and represented by Zengibar castle. The town has also a bridge of Seljuk period and various Seljuk and Ottoman Mosques. Çarşamba stream, source of the life in the region, is originated from Taurus Mountains both as Aygır spring, and as leakage from Sarıot lake. It crosses from various villages and town up to Mavi Gorge to meet with the water channel. All of which suggest that Bozkır district should be declared as a Geopark.

Özet

Bozkır, Toros dağlarının eteklerinde yer alan ve Bozkır birliği gibi bir kaç yüz km yatay olarak uzanan çeşitli tektonik birimler içeren eski bir ilçedir. Bozkır birliği tipik olarak Bozkır bölgesinde yer aldığından dolayı bu yörede adlanır. Birlik iyi yüzeylemiş Paleojen ve Neojen? birimleri tarafından üzerlenen derin deniz tortulları, ofiyolitler ve deniz altı bazik volkanik kayaçlardan oluşur. Bozkır sadece jeolojik oluşumlarca değil aynı zamanda kültür, tarih ve tabiat açısından da zengindir. Bozkır antik İzauria’nın merkezi konumunda olup Zengibar kalesi ile temsil edilir. İlçe Selçuklu köprüsü ile çeşitli Selçuklu ve Osmanlı camilerine sahiptir. Yaşam kaynağı olan Çarşamba çayı, Toros dağlarından hem Aygır kaynağı ve hem de Sarıot gölünden sızıntı olarak doğmakta, çeşitli köyleri, kasabaları ve ilçeyi kesmekte ve Mavi boğazında su kanalıyla buluşmaktadır. Tüm bunlar Bozkır ‘ın jeopark olarak ilan edilmesi gerektiğini ileri sürer.
