Year 2021, Volume: 11 Issue: 4, 1263 - 1276, 31.08.2021

Abstract

According to the UN statistics, more then 55% of the population on earth live in urban areas. These urban areas are one of the main reasons for increasing global warming and climate crisis. The danger of this crisis will be reduced by increasing the contribution of units forming sustainable living spaces and common alternative living spaces. In this research, it is aimed to determine the strategies of man's creation of space by querying through the created alternative living spaces. These strategies, which constitute the essence and originality of the work, are handled within a framework that extends from the thinking and lifestyle of the community to the possibilities of the environment in which the living space is located. In the scope of the study, one of the first alternative communities of the 60's that is Drop City and an ongoing eco-village of the 90's that is Sieben Linden Ecovillage samples were investigated through the era they were in, the kind of design trends that effected them, ecological principles they considered and as a consequence; kind of living spaces they created. The study is done according to qualitative and etnographic research methods.

ALTERNATİF TOPLULUKLARIN MEKAN YARATMA STRATEJİLERİ: DROP CITY VE SIEBEN LINDEN EKOKÖYÜ KARŞILAŞTIRMASI

Year 2021, Volume: 11 Issue: 4, 1263 - 1276, 31.08.2021

Abstract

BM istatistiklerine göre, dünya nüfusunun %55'inden fazlası kentsel alanlarda yaşamaktadır. Kentsel alanlar, küresel ısınmanın ve iklim krizinin artmasının ana nedenlerinden biridir. Krizin etkisini azaltabilmek için sürdürülebilir yaşam alanlarının oluşturulması gerekmektedir. Ortak yaşamı destekleyen alternatif topluluklar ise bunlara bir örnek olabilmektedir. Bu araştırmada, “alternatif yaşam alanları” üzerinden sorgulama yapılarak insanın mekanı yaratma stratejilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmanın özünü ve özgünlüğünü oluşturan bu stratejiler, toplumun düşünce ve yaşam tarzından, yaşam alanının bulunduğu ortamın olanaklarına uzanan bir çerçevede ele alınmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında 60'lı yılların ilk alternatif topluluklarından Drop City ve 90'lı yıllarda devam eden bir eko-köy olan Sieben Lieden Ekoköyü örnekleri incelenmiştir. Çalışma metodolojik olarak nitel ve etnografik araştırma yöntemlerini içermektedir.
