Bu makale, ahşap bilimi ve teknolojisi kapsamında irdelenen belirli tematik konular nezdinde bir kavramsallaştırma yapmak üzere, ahşapseverliği geniş bir çerçevede ortaya koymaktadır ve ahşabın hem malzeme hem de varlık hüviyetiyle çeşitli yönlerini ahşapsever yaklaşım eşliğinde açıklamaya yönelik bir çaba içermektedir. Bu nedenle, bu makale, yaşamla bütünleşmiş önemli bir olgu olan ahşapseverliğin dikkatle ele alınması gereken kendine has içselliğini pekiştirmek için, ahşap bilimi ve teknolojisi alanında başarıyla gerçekleşen faaliyetlerde daima ahşabı merkezine alan ahşapsever yaklaşıma odaklanarak hazırlanmıştır. Bu çalışma, ahşap odaklı ayrımsanmış bir durum olan ahşapseverliğin, yaşama ilişkin izdüşümlerini, farklı konularla veya olgularla geniş bir çerçevede sunması bakımından bariz bir farklılık taşımaktadır. Zira, farklı tematik bağlamlarda yazılmış kısa açıklamalarla ahşabın özgünlüğünün açıklanması, ahşapsever yaklaşıma dayanan ahşapseverlik kavramının ana hatlarıyla tanıtılması bakımından oldukça faydalıdır. Bu açıdan bakıldığında, tarih boyunca sürdürülebilir ormancılık faaliyetleriyle yetiştirilen ağaçlardan elde edilen tükenmez ve yenilenebilir bir doğal malzeme olarak yaşamı anlamlı kılan ahşap, sayısız faydasıyla evrensel uygarlaşma sürecindeki bireysel ve toplumsal konumu bağlamında takdim edilebilir ve böylelikle ahşapsever yaklaşımla bütünleşik bir olgu olan ahşapseverlik için ortaya konulan kavramsallaştırma çabası daha kolay anlaşılır bir hale gelebilir.

The Projection of Wood As a Material and an Entity in Woodloverness

Öz

This paper articulates a broad framework of woodloverness under the specific thematic issues addressed within the scope of wood science and technology in order to make a conceptualization and includes an effort to explain the various aspects of wood as material and entity with the support of woodlover approach. Hence, this article has been prepared specially for a particular purpose of reinforcing the delicate situation of woodloverness, which is an important phenomenon integrated with life, focusing on the woodlover approach that places wood at its core thanks to the continuous activities and accomplishments in the wood science and technology. This study has a great difference from the ordinary in that it presents the unimaginable projections of woodloverness, as a wood-oriented feature, on life in a large framework with different subjects or facts. Because, presenting the uniqueness of wood with short explanations written in different thematic contexts is very useful in terms of introducing the concept of woodloverness, which is based on the woodlover approach, in outline with the material and existential dimensions of wood. When viewed this way, wood, which makes life meaningful as it is an inexhaustible and renewable natural material obtained from trees grown through sustainable forestry activities, accompanied by wood science and technology throughout history, would likely be presented in the context of its individual and social positioning to universal civilization with its numerous benefits, and thus, the conceptualization effort put forward for woodloverness, a phenomenon integrated with the woodlover approach, can become more easily understood.
