Hatay People Houses Magazine and Facilities of Hatay People Houses

During the era between the two world wars, not only political/diplomatic but also cultural efforts were made to solve the Hatay issue which was important for the foreign policiy of Turkish Government. Thus, people houses ,which were active in nine branches throughout Turkey, provided adherence of Hatay to Turkey by continuing their mission in Hatay in three branches (1937-1939) and undertook a different mission from the other people houses . In this study, facilities of people houses which were to create a national culture after the adherence of Hatay to Turkey were given place in an analytic way by putting forward these differences. With this study, under the light of archive documents of ‘people houses’, the perspectives of the witnesses and local press of the period, it is aimed to discuss ‘people houses’ and their facilities, which were not covered (especially after 1939) in the history writing process of Hatay and thus, to make contribution to the literature.
