Abstract
This study was carried out by making face-to-face interviews with a total of 138 people in 7 neighborhoods and 36 villages of the central district of Artvin between 2016 and 2019. In this study, the knowledge level of the local people in the research area about natural medicinal plants, the vernacular names of plants, used parts of these plants, their usage purposes, and usage methods were tried to be revealed. It was questioned whether the local people, whose demographic characteristics were also determined, had any herbal mixture of their own. It was determined that 43 different plants belonging to 27 families were used by the local people for medicinal purposes. The families that contain the most used medicinal species are listed as Rosaceae, Asteraceae, Lamiaceae. With the analyzed data, the use-value (VU) of medicinal plants, whether there is a consensus among those who gave information about the plants used for disease groups (FIC), and the use intensity (FL) of these plants were determined.
