The issues related with „green design‟ have been drawing an increasing
attention for the last three decades. We are becoming more aware that the
resources of the world are not limitless and we have to take more
environmentally friendly routes on our endeavours for our future generations
to survive. In this study, a brief literature review on „green design‟ is provided
by making use of a basic classification scheme that illustrates the recent
concentrations of research on the concept. Through this classification, the
development of research in the field and the stages it has gone through will be
presented and a currently popular and relatively fertile area `sustainable
product-service systems` will be described. Some research gaps will be
identified and future research directions will be given

Anahtar Kelimeler

“Yeşil Tasarım” Konusundaki Araştırmalar Üzerine Bir Sınıflandırma:

Sürdürülebilir Ürün-Hizmet Sistemlerine Giden Yolculuk

Son otuz yıla baktığımızda „yeşil tasarımla‟ ilgili konuların gittikçe daha

fazla ilgi çektiğini görebiliriz. Dünyamızın kaynaklarının sınırsız olmadığı göz

önüne alındığında, gelecek nesillerin varlıklarını sürdürebilmeleri için çevreye

duyarlı yaklaşımlarda bulunulmasının gerekliliği oldukça açıktır. Bu çalışmada,

son yıllarda konuyla ilgili yapılan bilimsel araştırmaların yoğunlaştığı alanları

gösteren bir sınıflandırma verilmiş ve bu yolla „yeşil tasarım‟ hakkında kısa bir

literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Bu sınıflandırmayı kullanarak, araştırmaların

alan içindeki gelişimi ve geçirdikleri aşamalar belirtilmiş ve son dönemlerde

popüler ve verimli bir araştırma konusu olan „sürdürülebilir ürün-hizmet

sistemleri‟ tanıtılmıştır. Yapılan araştımalardaki bazı fırsatlar gösterilmiş ve

gelecekteki yeni araştırmalar için bazı doğrultular verilmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler
