MEKÂNSAL PLANLAMADA YER SİSTEMİ YAKLAŞIMI; HAKÇA/GERÇEKÇİ PLANLAMA (H/GP)
THE EARTH SYSTEM APPROACH IN PLANNING: JUDICIOUS/REALISTIC PLANNING (J/RP)

Summary/Abstract: So-called the Earth system refers to the system which comprises all (solids, fluids, gasses, organisms and human as well) components of geosphere and theirinteractions. The consumption of natural resources and subsequent emergence of environmental problems led to growth of human’s interest to planning studies. Recently, developments in understanding of planning are represented by strategic and ecological planning approaches. In this contribution, we interrogate deficiencies in various planning practices and then we propose a morerational Earth system-based planning approach in the example of Turkey. It is thought that the present planning approaches are far from meeting the need for sustainable use of resources. A new “judicious/realistic planning approach” is proposed here considering the fact that human’s knowledge on natural and social sciences is based upon what they learned from their environs and environmental problems that occur around them. When Turkey’s natural resources is considered from the view point of sustainable use, it is possible to mention an obvious decrease in this sub-region. This exhaustion in the matter of planning should be taken into account in any future attempt that may be put on the agenda in Turkey. In this study, we anticipate that sustainable planning of resources of Turkey can be realized using our judicious/realistic planning approach on.
