Trajnostnost se nanaša na ravnovesje socialnih, gospodarskih in okoljskih dejavnikov, cilj tega koncepta pa je življenje v sožitju z naravo. Trajnostni razvoj se po drugi strani nanaša na doseganje ...urbanih ciljev za prihodnost ter na hkratno povečevanje blaginje in učinkovito prenašanje virov na naslednje generacije. Za oblikovanje politike in spremljanje napredka na tem področju se uporabljajo kazalniki trajnostnosti, ki jih oblikujejo razne ustanove in se razlikujejo glede na državo. V gospodarstvih v razvoju, kot je Turčija, je bilo do zdaj opravljenih malo raziskav o merjenju trajnostnosti. Avtorici sta v članku proučili ravni trajnostnosti turških mest z uporabo mehke logike, pri čemer sta oblikovali tudi merljiv in ponovljiv številski model za analizo njihove trajnostnosti. Za merjenje trajnostnosti sta uporabili 27 kazalnikov v okviru glavnih komponent ekologije, gospodarstva in socialnih vidikov, trajnostnost mest pa sta ocenili z mehkimi pravili. Na podlagi rezultatov sta vseh 81 turških provinc razdelili na kvantilne razrede in jih kartirali. Uporabljeni analitični pristop je lahko uporaben za urbaniste, oblikovalce politik in odločevalce, raziskava, predstavljena v tem članku, pa prispeva k boljšemu poznavanju in razumevanju trajnostnosti.
Sustainability is the balance of social, economic, and environmental factors. Evolving from history to the present, the goal of this concept is for humanity to live in harmony with nature. ...Sustainable development, on the other hand, encompasses achieving urban goals for the future while increasing prosperity and efficiently passing resources to future generations. Sustainability indicators are utilized to guide policymaking and monitor progress. Indicators introduced by various institutions vary by country. In developing economies like Turkey, which this study focuses on, there are a limited number of works on measuring sustainability performance. Hence, this study evaluates urban sustainability levels using the fuzzy logic method. Another objective is to develop a measurable and replicable numerical model to analyse the sustainability performance of cities in Turkey. The study employs a measurement set consisting of twenty-seven indicators from the main ecological, economic, and social components, and it assesses the sustainability levels of cities using fuzzy logic rules. Based on the results obtained, all eighty-one provinces of Turkey are classified into quantile groups and mapped. This analytical approach can guide urban planners, policymakers, and decision-makers. This study contributes to enhancing knowledge and understanding sustainability.

Learning for sustainability encourages informal learning, embeds daily usages and observations into the learning process, and has the potential to cultivate ecological-based habits for a sustainable ...future. We cannot separate the learning process and everyday life from each other. Therefore, the present research focuses on sustainable learning programs and designs in schoolyards within the framework of “learning landscapes,” which is an emerging topic that requires interdisciplinary approaches. This article aims to combine curriculum design, spatial design, informal learning, and ecological design themes and explain the practice-based processes in “Design Your Schoolyard” workshops. This participatory and hands-on project involves multiple stakeholders and unfolds this multilayered structure within its process. Nature-child connections are insufficient in most cities, and the cultivation of sustainable practices only happens with nature and the practicing of sustainable behaviors in daily life. Therefore, school gardens are emerging with a new approach that interprets these areas as learning landscapes, not just as spatial designs but as an approach that creates connections with the curriculum and ecology to help children learn about sustainability and builds bonds between nature and children in daily life.
This study aims to launch a new discussion about schoolyard designs that support children in learning about sustainability and to highlight the principles of these learning landscapes. Secondly, the research offers various suggestions about handling these sites, the importance of the design of multi-stakeholder processes, and the inclusion of various disciplines into the process from a participatory and experiential project experience.

The twenty-first century is the beginning of an era in which urban development at the international and national levels, equality, continuity, capability, administration involving many actors and ...settlement systems need to be dealt with using new settlement administration ethics. The concept of sustainable development first came up at the National Development and Environment Conference held in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, when the action plan known as Agenda 21 was constituted at the Earth Summit. This is a comprehensive document assigning responsibility to governments, NGOs, local authorities, United Nations organisations, development organisations and all persons and institutions that have an impact on the environment. On this basis, this study evaluates the growing necessity of urban transformation in Turkey in various dimensions within the framework of Local Agenda 21, in which various actors can be involved. This paper approaches the issues not only from the point of view of the state, but also from the point of view of all actors to whom responsibility is assigned. It examines the philosophy of the Local Agenda 21 program and how it is being implemented in the Municipality of Harran, and it assesses the achievement level of Local Agenda 21 in Turkey and policies in the case reviewed. The paper includes proposals that will allow all local authorities in Turkey to examine their own programs within the framework of the Local Agenda 21 action program so that they can participate in the urban transformation process, develop local sustainable development policies and establish short-term and long-term strategic plans to solve problems.
