Kentsel Tarım Kümesi: Türkiye-Bartın Örneği

Gelecekte kentsel tarım KT , kentlerde önemli bir mekânsal yer işgal edecek ve insanların uğraşı alanları içinde yer alarak önemli bir rol oynayacaktır. Bu araştırmada, Küme Büyüme Teorisi’ne göre Bartın’daki KT aktivitelerinin bir küme olarak organize edilip edilemeyeceği araştırılmış; daha sonra TR-26 Bartın Bölgesel Kalkınma Projesi’nin bir parçası olarak KT’ın küme özellikleri incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Bartın Kenti’ndeki KT’ın çevresel, sosyal ve ekonomik etkileri tartışılmıştır. Buna göre “KT’ın Bartın’da küme özelliği taşıdığı ve gelecekte büyüme potansiyeline sahip olduğu” saptanmıştır. Ancak, kümenin gelecekteki gelişimi için, güçlü yönlerinin geliştirilmesine gereksinim duyulmaktadır. Pek çok sorun bulunmakla beraber, temel sorun paydaşlar arasında zayıf eşgüdüm ve işbirliği olarak ifade edilebilir. Bu nedenle, özel bir KT piyasasının organizasyonunu üniversiteler ile birlikte kamu ve özel sektör ortaklığı geliştirmek için, özellikle Bartın’daki KT kümesinin durumunu iyileştirmek amacıyla, paydaşlar arasında daha iyi bir eşgüdüm oluşturulması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Bartın’daki KT kümesinin gelişimi için kent seviyesinde “Bartın Kent Girişimi” için bir KT aktiviteleri modeli önerilmiştir

The Cluster of Urban Agriculture: Case of Bartın-Turkey

Urban agriculture UA can certainly play an important role and occupy a considerable amount of space and people's endeavours in the cities of the future. This research is concerned to examine UA activities in Bartın whether they are organized as a cluster by using the theory of Growth Cluster, and then tries to explore the cluster characteristics of UA as a part of the project: TR-26 Bartın Regional Development. Finally, it makes an argument about the environmental, societal and economic impacts of UA in Bartın City. Research has confirmed that “the UA is a cluster in Bartın, and it holds promises for future growth”. However, to develop the cluster further, its strength needs to be enhanced. Many problems have appeared, among which weak coordination and collaboration among the stakeholders involved are of fundamental importance. It is therefore perceived that the development a particular organization of UA marketing public-private partnership together with knowledge institutes is necessary to particularly improve a better coordination and the situation of UA cluster in Bartın. In this study, a model of UA activities is proposed for “Bartın City Initiative” in terms of city-level actions for growth cluster of UA in Bartın
