Özel Mülkiyet-Doğa Koruma İkilemine Sahadan Bir Bakış: Alakır Nehri Kardeşliği Örneği

Doğayı korumak için ona ya da onun bir parçasının haklarına malik olmak mı gerekir? Özel mülkiyet ile doğa koruma arasındaki çelişkili ilişkiyi konu alan bu çalışma Türkiye’den bir çevre mücadelesinde koruma vaadiyle satın alarak, mülkiyet edinimi yoluyla çevre koruma taktiğinin devreye sokulduğu bir örnek olay incelenmesidir. Türkiye’de çevre politikasında doğa koruma amaçlı mülkiyet satın alımı görülmemiş bir şeydir. Ancak 2019 yılı Mayıs ayında Antalya Kumluca’da bir grup yerel çevre aktivisti, Alakır Nehri Kardeşliği (ANK), online bir bağış kampanyası yürüterek ‘yaşam alanlarının’ hemen bitişiğindeki iki parsel imarsız kamu arazisini devletten ihale yoluyla satın aldılar. Bu çalışma Türkiye’de çevresel satın almaların ilk örneğini, çevre ve adalet politikası aracı olarak türünün emsalini incelemesi açısından özgün ve önemlidir. Bu vaka çalışması birincil ve ikincil verilere dayanmaktadır. Bu veriler doğanın ve doğa korumanın neoliberalleştirilmesine ilişkin teorik politik ekoloji çerçevesi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.

A Look at the Private Property-Nature Conservation Dilemma from the Field: The Case of the Friends of Alakır River

To truly protect the nature is it needed to own it or a portion of the rights to it? This research on the paradoxical relationships intrinsic to the private property and nature conservation, is a case study that looks at a new tactic for nature conservation in Turkey. Unusual is it the case that a property buyout with the promise of conservation in Turkish environmental policy. However, in May 2019, in Antalya Kumluca, the Friends of Alakır River (FAR), a group of grassroots environmental activists, organizing an online donation campaign for an environmental buyout, bought two parcels of unzoned public land from the state by tender, that are located in close proximity to their village house or ‘lifeworld’. And this case study is original and important for both being the first study on an unprecedented environmental policy and justice tool in Turkey. The study combines both primary and secondary data. and these data were analysed using theoretical political ecology framework on neoliberalisation of nature and nature conservation
