Research is essential before undertaking any protection. The 
documentation, maintenance, management of cultural 
landscapes requires a detailed research. In this paper, the 
documentation stage of protecting cultural landscapes are 
focused in order to find informations which help identifying a 
landscape’s past and present conditions. Once the 
documentation of existing cultural landscapes have been 
completed, an appropriate maintenance and management 
strategy is in place to develop the landscape’s features, 
determine its significance, and place it within the context of 
similar landscapes. 
In this paper, examples are studied in terms of documentation as 
a first step to protect the cultural landscapes. The whole profile 
of the Bosphorus cultural landcape can be maintained through a 
research covering the whole strait. Such research would help to 
improve the sustainable land use and cultural life in the 
Bosphorus.
