An Anthropological Approach to Energy Research

Year 2013, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, - , 18.11.2014

Abstract

Scientific research in interdisciplinary studies has become use still widely over the time. Especially, the influence of social sciences in fields such as physical sciences and engineering is increasing. Anthropology is the science of research of everything related to human and humanity. Therefore, anthropology involves any scientific research about human. Today, energy has become the most important component of our daily lives. Dominance of the energy on our lives increases the demand for it, which causes consumption of active energy sources. Consequently, topics such as consumption of active energy and energy conservation become hot topics in state agenda and causing generation of new policies. However, it is unclear that how much these active energy consumption and conservation related policies effect individuals and the society and being applicable? In this study, the focus of human behavior in energy related researches will be examined in an anthropological perspective

Enerji Araştırmalarına Antropolojik Bir Yaklaşım

Abstract

Bilimsel çalışmalarda disiplinler arası yaklaşım giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. Özellikle sosyal bilimlerin fen ve mühendislik gibi alanlarda kullanımı giderek artmaktadır. Antropoloji bilimi insanı ve insana dair her şeyi kendine araştırma konusu edinen bir bilim disiplinidir. Dolayısı ile insanla ilişkili her bilimsel araştırma, antropolojiyi de içermektedir. Günümüzde enerji, günlük yaşantımızın en önemli unsuru haline gelmiştir. Enerjinin yaşantımız üzerindeki egemenliği, ona olan ihtiyacın artmasına ve sonuç olarak azalan enerji kaynakları ile birlikte etkin enerji kullanımı ve enerji tasarrufu gibi konuların gündeme gelmesine, bu alanda politikalar üretilmesine neden olmuştur. Ancak etkin enerji kullanımı, tüketim ve tasarruf gibi unsurları konu alan bu politikaların başarıya ulaşması kültürel, toplumsal ve bireysel alışkanlıkların ve örtük bilgilerin belirlenerek çözüm üretilmesi ile ilgilidir. Bu çalışmada, enerji konusundaki araştırmalarda insan davranışı odağının, antropoloji bakış açısı ile bir değerlendirmesi yapılacaktır.
