Urban Culture and Traditional Knowledge in the Anthropocene: Rethinking Sustainability in Türkiye

Öz

This study examines the concepts of the Anthropocene and sustainability from a sociological perspective. The Anthropocene era, shaped by modernization, industrialization, and urbanization, has weakened traditional knowledge systems and redefined human-nature relationships. By exacerbating ecological crises, it has also made sustainability an increasingly debated issue. The study examines data collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with participants aged 65 and above from seven regions of Türkiye.The findings reveal that traditional knowledge-based living practices largely align with sustainability principles and that modernization has led to the erosion of this knowledge. The study highlights that as nature-friendly ways of living are forgotten, environmental crises escalate, while individualization and consumer-oriented systems weaken social solidarity.
