The natural environment has undergone cultural changes and it has come to the present day by taking a shape during the historical process. These are the historical and cultural settlements and they stand out in the historical texture.

Inside the world’s cultural diversity, Turkey possesses a very large part of the historical cultural heritage and exhibits the historical city settlements as open museums. The historical cultural texture in the city of Nigde is one of these and historical cultural geographical studies are required in this area.

Summary
In today’s world there is a rapid change in many fields and correspondingly new fields of science have appeared. Some values that exist for a long period have started to have more importance and more studies have been conducted to investigate, save and transfer them to the generations. In this awareness, the concept of “culture” has a distinct importance and several interpretations are made on the definition of the concept. Culture is mostly acknowledged as “the common life style of a community” (Tümertekin & Özgüç, 1997: 81). The similarities in speech, behavior, life style, ideology, technology, value systems and the learned information connect people in a culture and help them to form the world they live (Tümertekin & Özgüç, 1997: 82)
