KÜLTÜREL PEYZAJ KORUMA YAKLAŞIMINDA YENİ BİR BOYUT; SOSYO-EKOLOJİK SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK

Abstract

Sürdürülebilirlik kavramı kültürel peyzaj bağlamında ele alındığında çoklu stratejilere odaklanan, yenilikçi teorik ve metodolojik yaklaşımların geliştirilmesine ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Kültürel peyzajları korumak, yalnızca kolektif mirasımızı korumak için değil, aynı zamanda toplulukların refahıyla içsel olarak bağlantılı olduğundan, sosyal-ekolojik sürdürülebilirliği teşvik etmek için de önemlidir. Sosyal ekoloji, toplum-doğa etkileşiminin tüm ilgili örgütsel, mekansal ve zamansal düzey ve ölçeklerdeki analiziyle ilgilenen disiplinler arası ve disiplinler arası bir bilim alanıdır. Bu araştırma makalesi, kültürel peyzajların korunması ile sosyal-ekolojik sürdürülebilirlik arasındaki kesişimleri araştırarak bu kritik alandaki zorlukları ve fırsatları incelemektedir. Özellikle yerel düzeyde kültürel peyzajların sürdürülebilirliğinde çevresel değişim ve çağdaş toplumsal gelişme tarafından kışkırtılan ortaya çıkan riskleri ve güvensizlikleri hafifletmek ve bunlara uyum sağlamak için toplumsal tepkilerin daha sağlam ve ayrılmaz bir unsuru haline nasıl gelebileceğini daha iyi anlamak amacıyla yazılmıştır. Çalışma, kapsayıcı yönetişimin, toplumsal katılımın ve yeşil altyapının geliştirilmesinin önemini vurgulayarak, sosyo-ekolojik sürdürülebilirliğe ulaşmak için çeşitli stratejileri araştırmaktadır. Sonuç olarak sosyo-ekolojik sürüdürülebilirliği sağlamak için çeşitlilik, bağlantı, değişkenleri yönetme, karmaşık sistemlerin anlaşılması-uyum kapasitesi, deneyim, katılım, yönetişim başlıkları altında öneriler geliştirmektedir. Bu sorunların ele alınması, eşitlikçi ve dayanıklı olan uzun vadeli, sürdürülebilir kentsel kalkınmayı başarmak için önemli olacaktır.

A NEW DIMENSION IN CULTURAL LANDSCAPE PROTECTION APPROACH; SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract

Sustainability, a multidimensional concept, needs the development of innovative theoretical and methodological approaches. Protecting cultural landscapes is important not only to preserve our collective heritage but also to promote social-ecological sustainability, as it is intrinsically linked to the well-being of communities. Socio-ecology is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary field of science that deals with the analysis of society-nature interactions at all relevant organizational, spatial, and temporal levels and scales. This research article examines the challenges and opportunities in this critical area by investigating the intersections between the protection of cultural landscapes and social-ecological sustainability. It is written with the aim of better understanding how the sustainability of cultural landscapes, especially at the local level, can become a more robust and integral element of societal responses to mitigate and adapt to emerging risks and insecurities provoked by environmental change and contemporary societal development. The study explores various strategies to achieve socio-ecological sustainability, emphasizing the importance of inclusive governance, community participation, and green infrastructure development. As a result, it develops recommendations under the headings of Diversity, Connectivity, Managing Variables, Understanding Complex Systems-Adaptive Capacity, Experience, Participation, and Governance to ensure socio-ecological sustainability. Addressing these issues will be important to achieve long-term, sustainable urban development that is equitable and resilient.
