These researches reveal the following findings. Alevi practice, culture, (religious) thought, world view, the world after death, community system, organization have been changing. The reasons include the influence of Islamic globalism, government policies urbanization and modernization, and the politicizing of activities of Alevi associations as a result of collisions among them.
