“…Forests are more than an economic resource for forest villagers; as such, Turkish policymakers' approach should recognise these important social and cultural factors (Yurdakul Erol and Yıldırım 2017). In general, to support inclusive sustainable development processes and policies, it is necessary to recognise local populations' value for the environment as well, rather than just their livelihood prospects (Sangha et al 2019).…”

Forests are an essential part of the lifestyle and income of forest villagers in Türkiye. This interaction between forests and rural society offers considerable potential for the generation of traditional knowledge (TK). However, most of this knowledge is in danger of extinction. This study pursued qualitative and quantitative research methods: a SWOT analysis was created by utilising the related components of current national forest policy documents and sought to create basic strategies which were then prioritised using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) rating approach. The findings showed that TK is tied directly to the main objectives of forestry policy. Social strategies were viewed as the highest priority, emphasising the improvement of local living standards and increasing local awareness and loyalty to their regions. These strategies were followed by organisational and legislation-policy-related issues. However, the close scores of the strategies proved that all are interdependent and have relations with each other, and a holistic approach is required.

“…As highlighted by Heslinga et al (2018) content analysis has high reliability and validity in the analysis of historical documents and changes in policy because the analysis can be done for any time period, even if participants in the events are unavailable or deceased, and because key informant's perceptions and reflections are likely to change over time. Several authors have been using content analysis to examine policy documents on different subjects, such as energy (Brondi et al 2014;Kivimaa and Mickwitz 2011;Zhang et al 2012), the environment (Kalaba et al 2014;Erol and Yıldırım 2017), tourism and landscape (Heslinga et al 2018), organic farming (Seufert et al 2017) and sport promotion (Christiansen et al 2014). , , 1997, , 1999, , 2006a, , 2014a, , 2017a To carry out this study, the content of each of the 29 documents was imported into the NVivo 11 Pro software for qualitative analysis, which was used to manage the data during analysis.…”

Although several countries have outlined national and multi-criteria definitions, family farming is not well defined in most countries including Portugal, making it difficult to assess its real importance as well as the reasons underlying the design and the success/failure of particular policies. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the framing of family farming in the Portuguese political discourse by applying content analysis to a range of national policies and planning documents. The results show little reference to family farming in political documents and a conceptualization of family farming made in antagonism to professional or entrepreneurial farmers. aiming to protect the rights of rural workers, including fishermen, nomads, indigenous peoples, pastoralists and other agricultural workers, such as peasants, which are defined in the declaration as 'any person who engages in small-scale agricultural production for subsistence and/or for the market, and who relies significantly, though not necessarily exclusively, on family or household labour and other non-monetized ways of organizing labour, and who has a special dependency on and attachment to the land' (UN 2018).Following the declaration of the IYFF, the European Commission (EC) promoted a conference on the subject 'Family farming: A dialogue towards more sustainable and resilient farming in Europe and the world', preceded by a public consultation about the role of family farming, key challenges and priorities for the future. Throughout 2014 many family farming events were organized in many EU Member States, including Portugal. The debate and reflection carried out in Portugal allowed more in-depth knowledge about small family farming and emphasized the need for a Family Farming Statute (FFS) which was recently published by the Portuguese government. Nevertheless, as in other countries, it is still unclear what the perception of the Portuguese policy makers is towards the very concept of family farming and how they really address it in the design of sectorial policy. Furthermore, analyses of the discourse on family farming as developed by politicians, is of interest not only because it may explain the design of the agriculture policies, whether general or specifically targeted, but also their success/failure.The aim of the present study is to understand: (i) How family farming has evolved in Portugal after adhesion to the EU; (ii) how family farming has been framed in Portuguese policy strategies, and how the framing has changed over time; (iii) if the perception of the Portuguese public administration has followed the evolution of the concept of family farming in the literature.To answer the first question, statistical data, available in Statistics Portugal, was collected and analysed, with special emphasis on the Census of Agriculture. The second question will be addressed through the analysis of 28 public policy documents. Responding to the third question involves a conceptual analysis of the empirical findings in the context of the body o...

Kişilerin ve toplumların gelişiminde etkili bir rol oynama potansiyeline sahip olan tiyatro bir bilinçlendirme ve eğitim aracı olarak değerlendirilebilmektedir. Bu çerçevede çalışmada, Türkiye"de Cumhuriyetin ilanından günümüze, İstanbul Şehir Tiyatrolarında repertuvara alınmış ve sahnelenmiş olan yerli ve yetişkinlere yönelik tiyatro eserlerinde, doğa ve ormanla ilgili unsurlar içerik analizi yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, ana ve yan teması doğa ve orman olan eserlerin yok denecek kadar az olduğu, örneklem kapsamına giren tiyatro eserlerinde de doğa ve ormana ilişkin içeriklerin çok sınırlı düzeyde kaldığı belirlenmiştir. İncelenen eserlerde doğa ve ormanla ilgili içeriklerin, çoğunlukla ağaç, su, nehir, kuş, geyik, yaprak gibi ormanı oluşturan ve çağrıştıran unsurlar kategorisinde olduğu görülmüştür. Ormancılıkla ilgili etkinlikler ve ormanların işlevleri içerik olarak çok daha az bulunmaktadır. Ulaşılan bulgular ışığında doğa ve ormanla ilgili olarak toplumda farkındalık oluşturabilecek eserlerin yazılması ve sahnelenmesinin teşvik edilmesi, çok disiplinli bir yaklaşımın ilgili eğitim süreçlerinde benimsenmesi, kurumsal işbirliklerinin geliştirilmesi kapsamında bazı yaklaşımlar ortaya konulmuştur.
