Öz
Today, while there have been ecocentrist approaches that they assert not be able to come together environment protection with economical development among the economists and also they basically take only environment to the front and antipathetic to the economical development among the environmentalists, however, two other approaches have been developed, one of them was called ecological modernisation approach that asserts economical development has good relation with environment protection, the other was called technocentrist approach that proposes proactive environment strategies, environmental partnerships (green alliences), environmental challenging and many technical solutions to the environmental catastrophes. In this study, ecological modernisation of the approaches have been carrying technocentric attributes was investigated. The aim of the ecological modernisation is to prove the transition from quantitative development to the qualitative development. In macroplan, while ecological modernisation aims to the transition from the industries that energy and source based to the industries that service and information based,in microplan, it aims using clean technology and also production ways. However, it aims more productivity and less energy for the production of assets. Turkey takes place on the location of the important bird migration ways. Kahramanmaraş-Gavur Lake is also onto important bird migration ways. But as shown in the examples of the Amik Lake and Emen Plains, drying of the Gavur Lake for getting farming field creates negative impact from the point of birds and wildlife of wetlands. On the other hand, in the result of the pollution by the wastes of industry around the Aksu River and dams that are available in Kahramanmaraş location, acuatic life suffers survive. To realize the ecological modernisation around Kahramanmaraş district; nongovernmental organizations and state must come into consensus and must be created participatory policies for the getting up economical and social level of the public and measuring environmental wholeness of the province. The companies that are active in the area must be sensitive to the environment, and while preparing for the entrance to the EU, they must work in the concordant to EMAS and ISO 14000 for the perfect competition that have been valid in EU. In the concept of integration of economics and environmental factors, ecological modernisation will have influence on sustainability of wildlife and wetlands.
