Abstract

Bu
çalışmanın amacı, orman ürünleri endüstrisinin iki alt sektörünü oluşturan
mobilya ve kereste sektöründe faaliyet gösteren mikro ölçekli işletmelerin
çevresel bilinç ve uygulamalarını ortaya koymaktır. Küçük ve orta ölçekli
işletmeler her ülke ekonomisi içinde sayı, üretim miktarı, istihdam gibi
yönlerden önemli yer tutar. Orman endüstrisini oluşturan kereste, mobilya ve
kâğıt alt sektörlerinin % 99,9’ u küçük ve orta ölçekli sınıfında yer alırken
bunların da % 96’ sı mikro ölçekli işletme sınıfı içinde yer almıştır. Bu
kapsam içinde yer alan her bir işletmenin çevre üzerindeki etkileri sınırlı
olmasına karşın; toplamda önemli bir etkiye sahiptirler. 80’li yılların
sonlarından beri işletmelerin çevre üzerindeki etkileri artan bir kaygı konusu
olmuştur. Bunun sonucu küçük ve orta ölçekli işletme sahip-yöneticileri
üzerinde çevresel yönetim aktivite ve uygulamalarını geliştirmeleri için artan
bir baskı vardır. Trabzon da faaliyet gösteren 885 mikro ölçekli kereste ve
mobilya üreten işletmeyi temsil eden 120 işletmeye yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile
2015 yılında anket uygulanmıştır. İşletmelerin büyük çoğunluğu, çevre
kirliliğinin olduğuna inanmaktadırlar ancak kendi işletmelerinin çevreyi
kirlettiğine inanan işletme sayısı çok daha azdır. Ayrıca işletmelerin % 66’sının
atıklarının azaltılamayacağına inandığı ve üretilen atıkları toplayan her hangi
bir organizasyonun olmadığı, araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlardan bazılarıdır.

Approaches of Micro-Scale Furniture and Timber Producing Businesses towards Their Waste and Environment

Abstract

This study aims to demonstrate the environmental
awareness and practices of micro-scale businesses operating in the furniture
and timber industry, which are two sub-sectors of the forest products industry.
Small and medium-sized businesses have a significant place in every country's
economy for their size, production and employment. While 99.9% of the timber,
furniture and paper sub-sectors constituting the forest industry are in the
small and medium-sized class, 96% of them are in the micro-scale business
class. Although the environmental impacts of each of these businesses are
limited, they have an important influence in total. Since the late 1980s,
environmental impacts of businesses have been an increasing matter of concern.
As a result, there is an increasing pressure on small and medium-sized business
owners and managers to improve their environmental management practices and
performances. A questionnaire was applied to 120 businesses representing 885
micro-scale timber and furniture producing businesses operating in Trabzon by
face to face interview in 2015. The clear majority of these businesses believe
there is environmental pollution, but the number of businesses that believe
their businesses less pollute the environment. In addition, some of the results
of the survey are that 66% of the businesses believe that waste cannot be
reduced and there is no organization collecting the waste.
