Urban gardening practices are preferred due to their contributions such as providing sustainable food supply, contributing to urban aesthetics, making green infrastructure resilient, strengthening social ties, reducing carbon footprint, improving quality of life and encouraging citizen participation. In addition to city administrators, citizens also contribute to these practices, sometimes individually and sometimes collectively. Throughout the study, practices referred to as community gardening, guerrilla gardening and do-it-yourself gardening are presented under the umbrella concept of urban gardening. The aim of the study is to make evaluations in the context of sustainable urban policies by analysing urban gardening practices comprehensively on the theoretical and practical axis.

KENT BAHÇECİLİĞİ: SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR KENT PERSPEKTİFİNDEN DEĞERLENDİRME

Öz

Kent Bahçeciliği uygulamaları; sürdürülebilir gıda tedariki sağlamak, kent estetiğine katkı sunmak, yeşil altyapıyı dirençli hale getirmek, sosyal bağları güçlendirmek, karbon ayak izini azaltmak, yaşam kalitesini yükseltmek ve vatandaş katılımını teşvik etmek gibi katkılarından dolayı tercih edilmektedir. Bu uygulamalara, kent yöneticilerinin yanında vatandaşlar da bazen bireysel bazen de kolektif olarak katılım sağlayarak katkılar sunmaktadır. Çalışma genelinde topluluk bahçeciliği, gerilla bahçecilik ve kendin yap bahçeciliği olarak anılan uygulamalar kent bahçeciliği şemsiye kavramı altında sunulmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, kent bahçeciliği uygulamalarını teorik ve pratik eksende kapsamlı olarak irdeleyerek sürdürülebilir kent politikaları bağlamında değerlendirmeler yapmaktır.
