Abstract
Günümüzde kentler kültürel, sanatsal ve sportif etkinlikler düzenleyerek tanınırlıklarını arttırmak ve böylece de küresel rekabet ortamında kendilerine bir yer edinebilmek için yoğun bir yarış içerisindedir. Tüm bu etkinlikler zihinlerde olumlu bir imaj oluşturmak ve böylece daha tercih edilen bir şehir olmak için gerçekleştirilmektedir. Türkiye'de en çok ziyaretçi çeken müzeler arasında ilk üç sırada yer alan Mevlana Müzesi, Konya'nın tanınırlığına önemli bir katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, Konya'da her yıl Hz. Mevlana'nın ölüm yıldönümünü anmak için Aralık ayının ilk yarısında düzenlenen Şebi-i Aruz törenleri döneminde Mevlana Müzesi ve Şebi-i Aruz törenlerini izlemeye gelen 252 ziyaretçinin zihnindeki Konya imajını anlamayı ve kültürel etkinliklerin bu imaja etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışma sonunda elde edilen bulgular, Mevlana'nın Konya'nın tanınırlığı ve imajı üzerinde önemli bir etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur
