The Safeguarding Archaeological Assets of Turkey (SARAT) project is aimed at increasing knowledge, capacity, and awareness for the better protection and appreciation of Turkey’s archaeological assets. Within the scope of SARAT, a nationwide public opinion poll for mapping the relationship between archaeology and society in Turkey was designed and conducted. The fieldwork was carried out on 12–13 May 2018 across 103 districts of 29 Turkish provinces. Structured questionnaires were administered to 3,601 individuals above the age of 18 by employing face-to-face interview methodology. The results shed light on various aspects of the relationships between a community as diverse, dynamic, and populated as Turkey’s, and archaeology and archaeological assets located in this country. They have also been put into use as guidelines for designing various activities of the project that seek to increase public appreciation and awareness of archaeological assets. These activities include workshops with journalists on informed and accurate archaeological reporting, an online certificate programme for safeguarding and rescuing archaeological assets, workshops on Archaeology in Local Contexts as well as social media campaigns.

保护土耳其考古资产 (SARAT) 项目旨在提高知识、能力和意识，以更好地保护和欣赏土耳其的考古资产。在 SARAT 的范围内，设计并开展了一项旨在描绘土耳其考古与社会关系的全国性民意调查。实地调查于 2018 年 5 月 12 日至 13 日在土耳其 29 个省的 103 个地区进行。通过采用面对面访谈的方法，对 3,601 名 18 岁以上的个人进行了结构化问卷调查。结果揭示了一个像土耳其这样多样化、充满活力和人口稠密的社区与位于该国的考古和考古资产之间关系的各个方面。它们还被用作设计项目各种活动的指南，旨在提高公众对考古资产的认识和认识。这些活动包括与记者就知情和准确的考古报道举办的研讨会、用于保护和抢救考古资产的在线证书计划、当地环境下的考古研讨会以及社交媒体活动。
