Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 7

1. INTRODUCTION
Article 4 of the Statutory Framework of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves gives the
general criteria for an area to be qualified for designation as a biosphere reserve. Criterion 6 in
the Article says: “Organizational arrangements should be provided for the involvement and
participation of a suitable range of inter alia public authorities, local communities and private
interests in the design and carrying out of the functions of a biosphere reserve”. Therefore, a
Biosphere is essentially an area managed by broad consensus, rather than any strict regime of
enforcement, it is indeed critical that there is an inclusive and meaningful engagement of
stakeholders in the planning process and subsequent management of the Biosphere.
The dialogue must begin as soon as possible (Beuret, 2006a; Borrini-Feyerabend et al., 2004),
before any decisions are made concerning the creation of the biosphere reserve. It is important
to ensure that all options remain open when the dialogue starts, and that the possible scenario
for the future of the land is not fixed in advance. Opening the dialogue before the process starts
ensures a maximum level of involvement and establishes trust between the different participants,
at the same time enabling the latter to acquire a full understanding of the object of the dialogue.
The overall aim of the participatory process put in place in the Yildiz Mountains Biophere Project
was to establish and maintain a genuine dialogue with stakeholders having an interest in the
future conservation and sustainable management of the proposed Yildiz Mountains Biosphere
(Project area), so that they can fully participate in the planning and management of its natural and
cultural resources. This process would not only enable capacity to be built among the numerous
stakeholders, but would also ensure their ownership of the Preliminary Yildiz Mountains
Biosphere Management Plan, thereby fulfilling two essential conditions for its completion and
implementation after the end of the Project.
Objective II.1.5 of The Seville Strategy for Biosphere Reserves points to surveying the interests
of the various stakeholders and to fully involve them in planning and decision-making regarding
the management and use of the biosphere reserve. Therefore identification and analysis of the
stakeholders was the first step.
Already at the proposal stage, and in a more detailed way in the Inception report, the Consultant
had indicated his intention to substantiall strengthen the stakeholder participation in his approach
towards the development of the Biosphere management plan. The materialisation of this
intention is the subject of the present report.

2.
PHASE 1
3 expert/facilitators, namely, Sema Alpan (Coordinator), Okan Can (biodiversity expert) and
Sevgi Gül (community expert) were identified for the process.
2.1
IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF STAKEHOLDERS
An analysis of stakeholders was based on previous work undertaken for the İğneada Longoz
Forest National Park Management Plan, as part of the GEF II Biodiversity and Natural Resources
Management Project. This list was updated and developed with respect to the much wider scope
of the present Project, reviewed at a process plan design workshop and re-analyzed. In broad
terms these stakeholders can be classified in 3 groups:
1. Primary stakeholders: Yildiz Biosphere (within the proposed boundary)
Those residing in village communities within or immediately peripheral to the boundary of the
proposed Biosphere may be considered to be the primary stakeholders because they are likely to
be the most dependent on the area’s natural resources. These are:
o
o
o
o
o
o
Village communities and their representatives (muhtars, imams, teachers, chairs
of the cooperatives)
local NGOs
local Private sector
Forestry District Directorate (FDD)
Nature Conservation & National Parks Directorate
Visitors.
2. Secondary stakeholders: Yildiz Catchment (outside proposed Biosphere Reserve
boundary)
Those living and working within the catchment area beyond the proposed Biosphere Reserve
may be the secondary stakeholders, having a vested interest in the Yildiz Mountains, but in most
cases probably less direct dependence on their natural resources. These are:
o
o
o
o
o
o
other Government agencies – at the provincial level
regional NGOs
Universities
Media/press
Private sector
Investors and secondary householders
3. Tertiary stakeholders: (at national and international level)
National and international agencies and NGOs may be the tertiary stakeholders, distant from the
resource but often having considerable influence over the way in which primary stakeholders are
able to interact with the resource. These may be sub-categorized as follows:
3
a) International
o UNESCO/MAB
o Bulgaria – national park, government, consulate
o EU (donor)
o PEEN/Green Belt
o Tourists /tourism agencies
b) National
o Government agencies – Ministry of Environment & Forestry etc
o NGOs
o Universities
o Media/press.
2.2
DESIGNING THE STAKEHOLDER PROCESS
In designing a participatory process it is important to be clear about the different types of
engagement with stakeholders, ranging from information provision with no opportunity for
stakeholders to influence the outcome to open dialogue in which stakeholder aspirations can be
met and decisions shared (see Table below). Processes should be designed to be as open as
possible, beginning with dialogue bounded only by existing legislation and policies, then moving
into consultation mode as outputs (e.g. management plan) are being drafted.

The guiding principles of the process should be “inclusive” and “transparent”.
The participatory planning process was carried out in 3 phases:

Phase 1: identification and analysis of stakeholders; establishing a team of facilitators and
preparing the strategy and action plan for the process to engage stakeholders in planning a
sustainable future for Yildiz Mountains;
4
Phase 2: establishing a dialogue with stakeholder groups, based on exchanging information
about the Project with their visions and aspirations for Yildiz Mountains; analyzing the
existing system for developing a community-based approach to managing natural resources
within the Yildiz Mountains;
Phase 3: establishing a Stakeholder Working Group (SWG), representative of villages,
government agencies and NGOs, to become directly involved with the Management Planning
Unit (MPU) in the Yildiz Biosphere management planning process and developing a
community-based approach to managing natural resources within the Yildiz Mountains based
on existing management systems such as cooperatives; farmers’ organisations.


The strategy and action plan were prepared for the participatory process; that is presented in the
following section.
2.3
STRATEGY
There are 25 villages, 3 counties and 1 sub-province within the proposed biosphere reserve area.
Following phase 1, as indicated above, the subsequent phases were implemented from midMarch until the end of the project in order to involve communities living and working in the
proposed area, through:
Phase 2: Initial dialogue with the NGOs, agencies and village communities
3 teams were mobilised for facilitation of the process for purposes of engaging with village
communities. Each team, comprising one villager and as far as possible one national and
one/two provincial Ministry of Environment & Forestry or other public agency staff, was led by an
Expert/Facilitator.
(a) The relevant local public institutions were contacted both through formal correspondence and
by paying visits to them in order to explain and get their support for the process, as well as
identifying potentially assigned staff. Initial training was carried out by the expert facilitators
for the team of facilitators-cum-resource persons, and the training process continued during
the process, focusing on facilitation principles, practice and techniques, as well as providing a
sound understanding of the purpose and objectives of the Project, including Biosphere
Reserve concepts of conservation and sustainable development. Training was undertaken in
an interactive and participatory manner so that trainees can experience first-hand some of the
techniques of engagement and the value of experiential learning.
(b) Up to a total of 5 days was spent by a team in each village during the 2.5 month period, i.e.
each village was visited approximately every fortnight. Each team was assigned a group of
villages, so that mutual trust was gradually built. The mayor and/or mukhtar were briefed in
advance of the first visit and his support was solicited to publicise a ‘kick-off event’ that
marked the start of the dialogue. The facilitation process was carried out separately for
women and men in order to ensure uninhibited participation. As the timber cutting season had
started the men worked in the forest during the day, so their meetings were scheduled in the
evenings. For relatively big settlements (with a population of over 1000) two facilitators were
assigned.
5
(c) The process was discussed with local NGOs in a workshop in Kirklareli in order to get their
comments, support and to identify resource persons. The ‘agricultural development
cooperatives’ were considered as NGOs.
(d) The aim of the kick-off ‘drop-in event’ was to provide an opportunity for all members of the
community to learn about the Project, to formulate first questions and comments, and for the
team to provide initial clarifications on the concerns expressed. The kick-off event started with
a film show, covering the true stories from civil society organisations, so that the dialogue
could start with a discussion on the benefits for the civil society of getting organised for
empowerment. Village resource persons and community leaders were identified in the first
meetings.
(e) The ‘drop-in’ event was followed up by a series of visits to explore views, perceptions,
concerns about the values of the natural and cultural context in which the villagers live and
work, the threats to such values (resources) and ways in which such threats may be
alleviated, reduced or mitigated. Such information was recorded on post-its and displayed on
walls, boards, flip charts etc to share with the others participating in the event. Subsequently,
it was collated, fed back to the community to contribute to the formulation of a draft vision for
Yildiz Mountains and objectives for achieving that vision identified from the threats. These
visits were also intended to allow the facilitator teams to gradually develop a socio-economic
profile of the village, focused on identifying levels of livelihood dependency on natural
resources among different sectors of the community. Potential income-generating activities
were explored with the villagers, especially those that can be linked to existing skills,
initiatives and interests among the community. Various facilitation techniques including social
and land use mapping, which are culturally acceptable by the participants, were used.
(f) Outputs were to include preliminary ideas on a mechanism, such as an eco-development
committee/working group that is representative of the village’s socio-economic structure,
intended to ensure the participation of the community to the management planning process
for the proposed Biosphere (see phase 3).
(g) Follow-up visits involved a variety of meetings, focus groups, workshops etc., ensuring
inclusion of the socially disadvantaged/excluded members of the community. The meetings
also included feed-back to the communities of the socio-economic data collected and collated
to verify, discuss and validate them and to allow the definition of village profiles.
Phase 3: Consolidating the dialogue with village communities and establishing a dialogue with
other stakeholders in the Yildiz Mountains catchment
a) Village working groups (or similar) were established to provide a mechanism and action plan
for continued participation in the Yildiz Biosphere management planning process. Their
chosen representatives were to constitute a Stakeholder Working Group (SWG).
b) Collation and analysis of the data/information gathered from each community during Phase 2
served as input into the management plan in terms of community values/vision for Yildiz
Mountains, issues/threats and opportunities (e.g. income –generating activities).
6
c) A series of events were planned and implemented within the Project area to help maintain
and consolidate the dialogue through active participation and to broaden it to other
stakeholders located outside the Yildiz mountains but within its catchment. This included
presentations from the scientific community of the results of their research in the Yildiz
Mountains, and seminars/workshops on specific issues (e.g. water transfer to Istanbul), as
well as films, exhibitions, drama and music to raise environmental awareness.
d) A range of stakeholder events were planned and facilitated, such as focus groups and
meetings in concert with the Stakeholder Process Plan, directly linking the stakeholders,
through the SWG, with the formulation of the draft strategy/management plan and its
subsequent completion.
2.4
ACTION PLAN

The process started with a pilot implementation on 20 March in Dereköy, with the
participation of all the team members.

The process was revised on the basis of the feedbacks of the team members.

The the kick-off events in each village started on 23rd March 2009, on the basis of weekly
programs.

Each team leader was responsible for contacting and informing muhtars and other team
members about the timing of the meeting, organising the venue, equipment and other
materials as well as transportation.

The teams evaluated the process and outputs once a week; and then decided on the next
week’s program.

The facilitation team leaders filled in the village meeting evaluation form, wrote minutes of
meeting and collected socio-economic data and information in the framework of the socioeconomic survey questionnaire (see Annex 1).

The facilitation team leaders reported outputs of each meeting as well as evaluations of
the meeting once a week, so that the coordinator could consolidate these reports and
send them to the TA Team Leader.

The approach was adaptive, meaning that process and facilitation techniques were
revised if and as necessary.

Meanwhile public institutions (Provincial directorates, agricultural development
cooperatives, muhtars, FDD staff) were interviewed to collect data and information for the
socio-economic analysis.

3.1
INVOLVING NGOS
The participatory process was first discussed with local NGOs in a workshop carried out in
Kirklareli in order to obtain their comments. This was an opportunity to inform them about the
project and the process, to get the support of the NGOs and to identify some resource persons.
In this context, the ‘agricultural development cooperatives’ are considered as NGOs. The
participants list of this workshop is in Annex 3.
3.2
INVOLVING AGENCIES
The initial training was carried out for the team of facilitators-cum-resource persons, and the
training process continued on a day-to-day basis during the process.
The relevant local public institutions were contacted both through formal correspondence and by
paying visits to them on 19 and 26 March 2009 in order to inform them about the project and the
process, to get their support and to identify staff to become team members. The agencies and
the dates of visits paid are in Table 1.

DIALOGUE WITH VILLAGE COMMUNITIES
A series of village visits were organized in accordance with the strategy and action plan. The
objectives of the village visits were:
o
To inform the local community about the project
o
To explore views, perceptions, concerns about the values of the natural and cultural
context in which they live and work in the Yildiz Mountains;
o
To get their views and perceptions about the threats to such values (resources) and ways
in which such threats may be alleviated, reduced or mitigated;
o
To collect socio-economic data and information directly from the settlements in order to
identify levels of livelihood dependency on natural resources among different sectors of
9
the community; and to explore potential income-generating activities with villagers,
especially those that can be linked to existing skills, initiatives and interests among the
community;
o
To establish focus group(s)/working group(s) representative of the village’s socioeconomic structure, to link the community to the management planning process for the
proposed Biosphere Reserve.
The work in establishing a dialogue with each of the 31 settlements concerned (24 within the
Project area and a further 5 peripheral to the tentative boundary of the proposed biosphere
reserve) began on 18 March. During the course of the project 2 other villages (Çukurpınar and
Armağan) expressed their willingness to be included in the project, and this was accepted since
they have some forest activities and relations with the Yildiz Mountains. The location of the
settlements can be seen in Figure 2; where the pink area on the map shows the proposed
biosphere area.

The settlements (27 villages, 3 counties and 1 sub-province) that were included in the process
are listed in Table 2, together with the schedule of visits/events.

*Outside proposed biosphere reserve
The villages were divided in 3 groups, each to be visited by one of the mixed faclitation teams to
engage with the village communities.
The first round of visits to villages involved kick-off events with a film show, providing examples of
communities and civil societies organising and empowering themselves, followed by discussions
about aspirations, issues and the relevance of the Project.
After the first round of visits to the villages, 2 feedback focus group meetings were held with the
provincial agencies: one on 30th of March in Kirklareli and one on 2nd of April; and 3 feedback
focus group meetings were held with muhtars (8th of April in Kirklareli; 10th of April in Demirköy;
13th of April in Vize). In the same meetings, the biosphere reserve concept was introduced to the
muhtars and their comments were received about the process to be carried out in the second
round of visits.
In large towns, namely Demirköy, İğneada, Kıyıköy, where the population is over 1,000 people,
‘drop-in’ events were organised during which participants had the chance to learn about the
Project and write on flip-charts their values, visions and threats concerning Yildiz Mountains.
The second round of visits to villages focused on the perception and assessment by the people
of the values of the Yildiz Mountains in the natural and cultural context in which they live
and work, the threats to such values (resources) and the ways in which such threats can be
alleviated, reduced or mitigated. This information, summarised in Annex 5, together with similar
outputs produced from the agencies’ workshop on 28th of May; and was later used to inform the
development of the preliminary management plan for Yildiz Mountains.
The 3rd round of dialogue focused on examining existing systems of managing natural resources,
such as cooperatives for timber extraction and muhtarships, in order to identify how they might
be strengthened and developed to provide for local natural resource management to generate
increased revenue for the local communities and to ensure their sustainable use. A series of
11
workshops were held separately with (i) muhtars and cooperative board members, (ii) women,
(iii) young people, and (iv) provincial agencies to identify the strengths, weaknesses and
opportunities inherent in existing systems. The schedule of these workshops is in Table 3.

In short, the analysis showed that:

the only natural resource actually being sustainably managed is timber, which is
managed by the Forest District Directorates (FDDs);

most other natural resources (mushrooms, medicinal plants, herbs,…) are subject to an
open-access system, without any mechanism capable of ensuring that their harvesting is
sustainable;

FDD have limited resources and capacity to manage and control the non-timber forest
products harvesting;

the local communities are not entitled to and have no incentive to manage the resources.
Outputs from these workshops, as well as from the previous village dialogue, were then shared
at a common workshop with muhtars, cooperative board members, women, young people and
provincial agencies on 4th of June during which discussions focused on the improvement of the
the cooperatives so that they can be used for CBNRM model for Yildiz Mountains. A SWOT
analysis of the cooperatives is in Annex 6.
The development of these mechanisms was fast-tracked in 4 selected villages (Kızılağaç,
Hamdibey, Aksicim, Boztaş) in order to develop a model which can be brought back to the wider
group of stakeholders for their further inputs. The discussion was broadened to Çukurpinar,
Gökyaka, Karacadag and Yeşilce Villages on several occasions. The model was well taken by
the village and cooperative heads; however there were some concerns by those villages who do
not have a cooperative and by some cooperative members, who pointed to the existing
weaknesses of the cooperatives.
12
The development of this model for community based natural resources management (CBNRM)
was based upon a number of principles, namely:
 the costs and benefits of conservation management should be equitably shared;
the authority and responsibility for resource management must reflect the de facto
managers.
The main purpose of these principles is to ensure that either protection or utilisation is applied as
a management strategy and at all costs to avoid having to abandon a resource – either by choice
or as a result of neglect.

Implicit in this approach is that with limited material, human and financial resources the most
effective form of managing the natural values of the Yildiz Mountains will be through a
consensual process with sustainable use providing the primary incentive for wise management.
This will require management agreements to be negotiated between cooperatives or
representative village organisations and the agencies concerned (mainly the Forest District
Directorate (FDD) and the Provincial Directorate of Environment and Forestry).
3.4
SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY
In order to identify and review existing socio-economic data and information about villages within
and peripheral to the Project area that are readily available from government agencies, these
were visited by the facilitators. These data were complemented by informal data collection from
villagers and muhtars during the village visits. All the information served to establish a socioeconomic profiles for each village. An example is given in Annex 7, the full data set was reported
separately, and fed into the database.
3.5
OTHER EVENTS
To introduce the Project and promote the public envolvement in the process, as well as to
disseminate the information to a broader group of the communities, some events were
organized. These were:
(a) Participation in the Dupnisa Cave Nature Festival on 16th of May in Sarpdere Village: the
facilitation team delivered handouts and informed festival participants about the biosphere
reserve concept and the participatory planning process in the project. The cave research
team informed the people about the Dupnisa Cave and other caves in the project area.
Around 50 children and 150 adults visiting the project stand participated in the finger painting
activities to draw the values of Yildiz Mountains.
(b) Finger paintings of the values of Yildiz Mountains in the schools: 17 primary schools in the
Project area were supplied with the necessary materials and informed about the Project. The
children from 1st to 5th grade participated in class finger painting activities to represent the
values of the Yildiz Mountains.
(c) Project slogan school contest: the children were asked to propose a slogan for the Project
from their school, when they were visited for the painting activity.
13
(d) Participation in the Kakava Festival on 5th of June (World Environment Day): an exibition was
organized under the organization of the Kakava Festival in Kirklareli. 17 pictures and 18
slogans were exibited and made subject to public voting. Two slogans received the highest
number of votes: “Do not let our Star fall” (Demirköy Yenimahalle Primary School) and “Let
our Star shine; and let our mountain remain green and our streams blue” (Dereköy Primary
School). The painting of the Demirköy Fatih Primary School got the highest number of votes
from the people.
(e) Finger painting activity with the Provincial Directorate of Environment and Forestry
personnel: this activity was held on 5th of June (World Environment Day) with all the
personnel of the Directorate.
4.
PHASE 3
In June the participatory process led to the formal establishment of a Stakeholder Working Group
(SWG), representative of the main interest groups living and working in the Project area (village
communities) and local/provincial agencies and NGOs responsible for or with a vested interest in
Yildiz Mountains.
4.1
ESTABLISHING THE SWG
The representatives from the agencies and NGOs were appointed to the SWG. The community
representatives of the Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) were identified based on the following
selection/election criteria:
1. The women who volunteered for participation in the Regional Women’s Workshop
2. The youngsters who volunteered for participation in the Regional Youth’s Workshop
3. Muhtars and cooperative heads:
• Representation of all the settlements as much as possible
• Representation from all sub-provinces
• Cooperative heads if there is a cooperative in the village
• Otherwise muhtars
• Authorization to represent several villages
• Representation of water products cooperatives
• Ratio of young people in the population
• Interest in the Project and the process
• The village where the Environmental Training centre is located
4. Resource person(s).
The members of the SWG were endorsed by the Ministry of Environment. later on the
composition of the SWG changed due to some new comers during the course of the process.
The SWG members and their attendance as well as other participants are listed in Annex 8.

4.2
WORK OF SWG
This Group was tasked with reviewing draft inputs to the preliminary management plan and
providing feedback to the Management Planning Unit (MPU), thereby allowing representatives of
village, government agencies, NGOs and other interest groups to formally engage with the
management planning process. A series of workshops was held by the SWG between July and
November; one of them being devoted to the presentation of the outputs of the scientific surveys.
The schedule of workshops is in Table 4.

OUTPUTS OF THE SWG
The main outputs of the workshops were the common vision, threat analysis, objectives,
activities for the Yildiz Biosphere and recommendations regarding the Biosphere Management
Committee and Advisory Committee. The followings were the inputs of the SWG for the 20-year
common vision for Yildiz Mountains for the management planning:
The Yildiz Mountains with
 Undeteriorated natural resources handed over to next generations
 A preserved cultural structure and historical values
 An improved quality of life for local communities
 Where (authority for) natural resources management is transferred to local communities
in order to achieve the above objectives
 Where local communities benefit sustainably from natural resources
 A high social and economic welfare.
The SWG also collated the threats as they are presented in Annex 5.
The recommendations of the SWG for the Management plan were as follows:
 The boundaries of the Yildiz Mountains Biosphere should be reviewed and revised by
including Sergen in the Biosphere.
 The municipalities which are recognized in the Biosphere are the followings:
a) İğneada
b) Demirköy
c) Kıyıköy
Other related municipalities are the followings:
15


4.4
d) Yenice
e) Sergen
The Management Committee should be transformed into a more democratic structure by
increasing the number of civil members, particularly community representatives. It is
proposed that the Management Committee should consist of 20 members plus a
Chairperson, with no more than 10 being from the public agencies and the rest from the
village communities.
“The Management Committee can only take decisions, which are not only in line with the
policies and strategies of the FDDS but also all the national sectoral policies”.

While selecting/electing the Advisory Committee, the following criteria should be
considered:
o an ability to clearly express themselves;
o knowledge and familiarity with the problems of the Biosphere;
o those who have internalized the objectives of the Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project;
o those who participated in the Stakeholder Working Group regularly;
o those who are well recognized in their locality;
o at least 30% representation by women;
o any acceptable excuse should be replaced
o Cooperative heads where there are cooperatives; and
o Muhtars where there are not any cooperatives
o Advisory Committee members who do not attend three consecutive meetings without
any acceptable reason should be replaced.

Regarding zoning:
o The zoning should be consulted to the communities
o While verifying the sattellite images through ground-truthing the elder people in the
closest villages should be contacted to benefit from their long experiences and
observations.
OTHER EVENTS
During the third phase the following activies were carried out to enhance the dialogue among the
stakeholders and with the TAT:
a) Study tour to Bulgaria: SWG members participated in the study tour to Bulgaria on 29-31
July 2009. The study tour not only helped for capacity building but also for team building
among the SWG members.
b) Study tour to Izmir and Aydin: Some SWG members, cooperative board members and
muhtars participated in the study tour to Izmir and Aydin to see good working examples of
cooperatives and to inspire the coop/village representatives with examples of successful
income generating activities. This event paved the way to a network among the community
members and extended their vision regarding their cooperatives and eco-tourism.
c) Cultural Museum in Çukurpınar: The Cultural Museum was initiated by the villagers from
Beypinar and Çukurpinar Villages with some support of the facilitators and the Provincial
Agriculture Directorate staff. It was opened for visitors on 19 October 2009, when the
Steering Committee of the project was meeting in Kirklareli. This event demonstrated the
developed the solidarity between the villagers and collaboration of 2 villages.

CONCLUSIONS
The active involvement of the Stakeholder Working Group in the Biosphere management
planning process shows that the participatory process applied by the project has overcome the
initial scepticism and mistrust of the local communities towards the biosphere, given their
previous experience with protected areas. The challenge is now for the agencies concerned to
maintain the momentum created.
Constraints that emerged during the participatory process include the following:

It is to be noted that previous experience of protected areas establishment in the region,
under the auspices of the GEF II Project which led to the creation of the İğneada Longoz
Forest National Park, had generated a lot of antagonism and scepticism. This obviously
made the task of the Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project substantially more difficult, and
required more efforts than anticipated to engage with the stakeholders.

Continuity of the process was sometimes hampered by changes of muhtars after the
local elections, requiring additional meetings with newly elected leaders to secure their
support.

Meetings often had to be held in the evenings because villagers needed to work in the
forest or fields during the day. This meant that people were often tired from their day’s
work, and that provincial agency staff rarely or never attended, as such times were
outside their normal hours of working. This reduced not only the opportunities for
capacity building of this staff, but also the likelihood of continuation of the process.

Some villages (e.g. Evciler, Sivriler) were initially not interested in the Project because it
does not have any funds to grant to village initiatives.

It was often necessary to hold additional meetings for women and young people, in order
to overcome the social exclusion inherent in many village communities. When given the
opportunity to participate however, women often proved to be more progressive and
active in their participation.
In line with the overall approach to Project implementation outlined in the Inception
Report, it was planned to use the process to build capacity within the MoEF in designing
and managing participatory processes by having national and provincial staff work with
the facilitation teams. This was moderately successful in so far as a large number of
MoEF staff from Ankara were exposed to the process, although none were able to
participate in all the stages of the process. Staff from the Provincial Directorate of
Environment and Forestry was not able to participate in any of the village meetings due
to their other work commitments. This is likely to jeopardise continuation of the dialogue
with village communities once the Project ends.

The main conclusions and lessons learnt from the process can be summarized as follows:

Establishment of dialogue and building mutual trust take a long time and demand patient
efforts. Although the Project period was too short to ensure the sustainability of this
dialogue, a network of facilitators from the local agencies and community members was
established for post-project activities.
17

The engagement of the people was ensured by exchanging inforlmation and views on the
natural values of Yildiz Mountains, in particular through the presentation of the outputs of
the scientic surveys; study tours and trainings.

Cooperatives should be explored in detail as the corporate body for managing the natural
resources; nevertheless, it is clear that they need considerable capacity building beside
financial support at the beginning.

A women’s cooperative can play a locomotive role for the region; to leave the businessas-usual and moving towards some best practices. Strong will is observed both from the
women and from the Provincial Directorate of Agriculture to this end.

ANNEX 2: TRAINING MATERIALS
BİYOSFER REZERVLERİ
Biyosfer Rezervi Nedir?
Biyosfer, yaşamı destekleyen kara parçası, su ve atmosferin tümüne verilen isimdir. Biyosfer
rezervleri, uluslararası önem taşıyan ve Birleşmiş Milletler Eğitim, Bilim ve Kültür Kurumu’nun
(UNESCO) İnsan ve Biyosfer Programı (MAB) kapsamındaki karasal ve/ veya kıyı
ekosistemlerine sahip alanlardır. Biyosfer rezervleri biyolojik çeşitliliğin korunması ile, kalkınma
ve kültürel değerlerin devamlılığı arasındaki çatışmaların sürdürülebilir çözümü için geliştirilmiş
bir yaklaşımdır. Biyosfer rezervleri koruma ile birlikte alan kullanımlarını da dikkate alır; ikisi
arasında sürdürülebilirlik ilkelerine uyumlu bir ilişki kurarak bölgesel kalkınmayı gerçekleştirmeyi
amaçlar. İlk olarak 1974’te ortaya atılan biyosfer rezervi kavramı 1995’te gözden geçirilmiştir.
Biyosfer rezervlerinin işlevleri
Biyosfer rezervlerinin koruma, kalkınma ve bilim olarak üç temel işlevi vardır. Koruma, genetik
kaynakların, türlerin, ekosistemin ve peyzajın korunmasına katkıda bulunmayı amaçlar.
Kalkınma, alanda yaşayan halkın, ekonomik ve sosyal gelişimi, sosyo-kültürel ve ekolojik
bakımdan sürdürülebilir şekilde desteklenmesi biçiminde özetlenebilir. Bilim işlev ise, yerel,
ulusal ve küresel ölçekte doğa koruma ve kalkınma çabalarına dönük bilimsel araştırma, izleme,
eğitim ve bilgi değişimini desteklemek olarak tanımlanır.
Biyosfer rezervinin özellikleri
Biyosfer rezervleri mutlak koruma bölgesi, yani çekirdek bölge, tampon bölge ve geçiş bölgesi/
gelişme bölgesi olmak üzere üç bölgeden oluşmaktadır. Genellikle çekirdek ve tampon bölgelerin
yasal olarak koruma altına alınması gerekir. Dünyadaki birçok biyosfer rezervi milli park, dünya
miras alanları, Ramsar alanları gibi o ülkenin doğa koruma yasaları ile koruma altına alınmış
alanları da içine alır. Biyosfer rezervi İnsan ve Biyoküre Programı (MAB) ile, disiplinlerarası bir
araştırma ve kapasite geliştirmeyi sağlar. Örnek korunan ve kullanılan alanlar oluşturmayı
hedefler. BR’lerinin en önemli özelliği yerel halkın, alanın yönetimine ve alınan kararlara çeşitli
komiteler yoluyla katılımının sağlanması ve bunun pogramlı bir biçimde desteklenmmesi ve
özendirilmesidir.
Dünyada, 102 ülkede 507 biyosfer rezervi bulunmaktadır.
Biyosfer rezervinin yararları
Biyosfer rezervleri:
 Yurttaşlar ve kamu kurumları arasında çevre ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma konularında
bilinçlenmeyi artırır.
 Bir eğitim ve öğrenme örnek alan olarak koruma ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma
konularında, diğer korunan alanlarda da kullanılabilir yaklaşımları araştırır ve uygular.
27

Ülkelerin, Yerel Gündem 21, Biyolojik Çeşitlilik Sözleşmesi, Birleşmiş Milletler
Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Eğitimi On Yılı ve Bin Yıl Kalkınma Hedefleri amaçlarını
uygulama araçlarından biridir.

Ulusal sınırları aşan, büyük doğal alanlarda, sınıraşan biyosfer rezervleri
oluşturulmasına olanak verir. Bu, ilgili ülkelerin katılımıyla uzun dönem işbirliği
olanaklarını sağlar.
Dünya Biyosfer Rezervleri Ağı
İnsan ve Biyosfer Programı (MAB), 1970’lerin başında oluşturulmuştur. MAB, Dünya Biyosfer
Rezervleri Ağı’nı, bilgi paylaşımı, araştırma ve izleme, eğitim ve katılımcı karar alma aracı olarak
görmektedir. Dünya Biyosfer Rezervleri Ağı ise:
 Biyolojik çeşitlilik kaybını azaltmayı;
 Geçim kaynaklarını geliştirmeyi;
 Çevresel sürdürülebilirliği sağlamak için toplumsal, ekonomik ve kültürel koşulları
geliştirmeyi amaçlar.
Korunan Alanlar ve Biyosfer Rezervleri Arasındaki Farklar
Biyosfer rezervleri bir korunan alan kategorisi değildir. Biyosfer rezervleri biyolojik çeşitlilik ve
doğal kaynak yönetiminde uygulanan bir yaklaşımdır. Bu özelliği ile diğer korunan alanlardan
ayrılır. Bir anlamda korunan alan ile korunan alanla organik bağı bulunan taraflar arasındaki
ilişkiyi düzenleyici bir mekanizmadır. Genel hatları ile korunan alanlar ile biyosfer rezervleri
arasındaki farklar aşağıda belirtilmiştir.

UNESCO MAB Programının Tarihçesi
23 Ekim 1970’te de XVI. UNESCO Genel Konferansı’nda İnsan ve Biyoküre (MaB=Man and
Biosphere) Programı kabul edilmiş ve uygulanmaya başlanmıştır. Programın koordinasyonu için
bir “Uluslararası Koordinasyon Birimi” (ICC=International Coordination Council) kurulmuştur.
UNESCO İnsan ve Biyoküre (MAB=Man and the Biopshere) Programı doğal kaynakların etkin
yönetimi için bilimsel olarak irdelenmesi, bu kaynakların yönetiminde karşılaşılan sorunların
analizi ve çözüm yollarının araştırılması, doğal kaynak yönetim planlarının hazırlanması ve
uygulanması için temelinde insan olan uluslararası, disiplinlerarası ve devletlerarası bir
programdır. Programın ana yaklaşımını insan ve ekosistemler arasındaki ilişkilere bütüncül
olarak yaklaşması ve insan ile doğa arasındaki ilişkileri birbirinden ayrılmaz bir “ilişkiler yumağı”
olarak kabul etmesidir.
1974 yılında 14 temel çalışma alanı belirlenmiştir:
1. Tropikal ve Subtropikal ormanlarda artan insan etkisinin ekolojik sonuçları
2. Ilıman kuşak ve Akdeniz kuşağında orman peyzajından yararlanmanın ekolojik etkileri
3. Maki, Savan ve Çayır kuşaklarında insan aktivite ve yararlanmalarının etkisi (Ilıman
kuşak ile Kurak kuşak arasında kalan kesim)
4. Kurak ve Yarı-Kurak kuşakta akarsulardan yararlanmak başta olmak üzere insan
faaliyetlerinin ekosistem dinamikleri üzerine olan etkileri
5. Kıyı alanları, deltalar, akarsular, sazlık alanlar ve göllerde insan faaliyetlerinin kolojik
etkileri
6. İnsan faaliyetlerinin dağ ve tundra ekosistemlerine olan etkileri
7. Ada ekolojisi ve ada ekosistemlerinden yararlanma
8. Doğal alanlar ve doğal alanların biyolojik çeşitliliğinin korunması
9. Karasal ve sulak ekosistemlerde gübreleme ve zararlılarla mücadele çalışmalarının
ekolojik sonuçları
10. Büyük ölçekli yapı ve tesislerin insan ve çevresine olan etkileri
11. Endüstriyel bölgelerin enerji kullanımına ekolojik yaklaşım
12. Değişen çevresel koşullar ile insanın genetik ve demografik yapısı ve ortama uyum
özellikleri arasındaki ilişkiler
13. Çevre kalitesi bilinci
14. Çevre kirlenmesi ve biyoküreye etkileri
1993 yılında Rio Konferansının sonuçları da dikkate alınarak yukarıda sıralanan 14 proje konusu
içerisinden öncelikli 5 alt konu belirlenmiştir (Erdmann et.al. 1995) .
29
Bu konular;
1. Biyolojik çeşitliliğin korunması ve ekolojik süreçlerin devamlılığını sağlama,
2. Sürdürülebilir yararlanma stratejilerinin belirlenmesi ve uygulanması,
3. Bilgi aktarımı ve çevre eğitiminin desteklenmesi (özendirilmesi),
4. Sürdürülebilir bir kalkınma modelinin oluşturulması,
5. Bir Küresel Çevre Gözlem Sistemi’nin kurulmasıdır.
Seville Stratejisi ile UNESCO, biyosfer rezervlerine ilişkin hedeflerini şu başlıklar altında
toplamıştır;
1. Biyosfer rezervleri uygulamasından yararlanılarak doğal ve kültürel değerlerin korunması,
2. Bir alan kullanım modeli olarak biyosfer rezervleri uygulamasından sürdürülebilir
kalkınma çabalarında yararlanmak,
3. Biyosfer rezervlerinden araştırma, izleme ve eğitim amaçlı yararlanmak,
4. Biyosfer rezervi uygulamalarını yaygınlaştırmak.

SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR KALKINMA
1. “Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma” kavramı içeriği
“Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma” kavramı, “gelecek kuşakların kendi ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabilme
olanağından ödün vermeksizin bugünün ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabilecek kalkınma” olarak
tanımlanmaktadır. Bir başka deyişle, insanla doğa arasında denge kurarak doğal kaynakları
sonuna kadar tüketmeden, gelecek nesillerin ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasına imkan verecek şekilde
bugünün ve geleceğin yaşamını ve kalkınmasını programlama anlamını taşımaktadır. Sosyal
yapı, ekonomi ve çevre sürdürülebilir kalkınma yaklaşımının temel üç bileşenidir. Sürdürülebilir
kalkınma yaklaşımı, bir ülkenin bütün ekonomik ve sosyal politikalarının çevresel politika ve
stratejileriyle bütünleştirilmesi sayesinde ancak hayata geçebilecektir.
Sürdürülebilir Kalkınmanın Evrimi
Doğal kaynaklar, ekonomik büyüme için
bedelsiz bir mal...
Çevresel sorunlarıyla sosyal ve ekonomik
sorunların kökeni ayrıdır...
TANIM-1
“Sürdürülebilir kalkınma, günümüzün
ihtiyaçlarının gerektirdiği kalkınmanın,
gelecek kuşakların gereksinmelerini
karşılama kabiliyetlerini ortadan
kaldırmayacak şekilde
gerçekleşmesidir.”
Brundtland Raporu, II. Bölüm, sayfa 54
(Çevre ve Kalkınma üzerine Dünya
Komisyonu, 1987)
34
TANIM-2
“Sürdürülebilir kalkınma, yaşam
kalitesinin, çevredeki yaşamı
destekleyici doğal sistemlerin taşıma
kapasitesi içerisinde kalacak şekilde
iyileştirilmesidir.”
(World Conservation Union (IUCN), BM
Çevre Programı (UNEP) ve World Wide
Ekonomik
faaliyetler,
toplum
tarafından
Fund for Nature (WWF))
gerçekleştirilir.
Topluma
yaşama
mekânı
oluşturan da çevredir…
“Sürdürülebilir kalkınma” yaklaşımı sosyal, ekonomik ve çevresel kapsamda aşağıdaki hususları
öne çıkarmaktadır:







Yaşam kalitesinin artışı; sadece gelir artışını değil her kişinin yaşam koşullarının
iyileşmesini içerir,
Günümüzdeki insanların eşitliği; gelir düzeyi eşitliği, sağlık, bilgi vb. konularda erişim
eşitliğini de içerir,
Nesiller arası eşitlik; gelecek nesillerin en az şu andaki çevresel koşullar kadar iyi
koşullarda yaşamasını içerir,
İnsan refahının sosyal boyutları; hakkaniyet, fırsat eşitliği ve diğer sosyal boyutları içerir,
Kendi kendine yeterlilik; bir sistemin kendi kendini döndürmesini içerir,
Yaşamı destekleyici doğal sistemlerin korunması, iyileştirilmesi,
Taşıma kapasitesine uyulması; alınacak teknik önlemlerle doğal sistemlerin taşıma
kapasitelerine uyulmasını içerir.
Temel olarak sürdürülebilir kalkınma:



Ekonomik açıdan dünya piyasalarıyla rekabet edebilen, insanların temel ihtiyaçlarının
uygun şekilde karşılandığı, refah düzeyini yükseltici,
Toplumsal açıdan hakkaniyetçi, eşitlikçi; dezavantajlı grupları kapsayıcı ve yaşam
kalitesini yükseltici,
Çevre ve doğal sistemler açısından önleyici/koruyucu/iyileştirici/destekleyici
olacak şekilde birbirini destekleyici ve bütünleyici; nesiller içi ve nesiller arasında dengeli olarak
planlanması ve yönetilmesi süreci olarak görülmektedir.
Sürdürülebilir kalkınma yaklaşımının sosyal, ekonomik ve çevresel boyutları içeren politikalarla
hayata geçmesi için bu üç boyutun bir arada planlanması gerekmektedir. Günümüz dünyasında
planlama süreçlerine bakıldığında sektörel, coğrafi, sosyal ve zamansal boyutların göz önünde
bulundurulması gereklidir.
35
Sektörel boyutta sürdürülebilir kalkınmanın hedeflerine ulaşabilmek için sürdürülebilir ulaştırma,
sürdürülebilir arazi kullanımı, sürdürülebilir tarım, sürdürülebilir turizm vb. konularında
uygulamaya geçilmesi gerekmektedir.
Coğrafi boyutta küresel, bölgesel (uluslararası), ulusal, yerel ölçeklerde planlamalar yapılmasının
yanında su havzaları, kıyı alanları, dağlık alanlar gibi küçük ölçekli uygulamalarda da
sürdürülebilir kalkınma temellerinin göz önünde bulundurulması gerekmektedir.
Sosyal boyutta sürdürülebilir kalkınmaya ulaşabilmek için kent, topluluk, iş dünyası, aile, birey,
dezavantajlılar, kadınlar vb. toplum yapıları ve gruplar göz önünde bulundurularak yönetim
planları yapılmalıdır.
Zaman boyutu, uygulamaların izlenmesi, devamlılığı ve etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi süreçlerini
içermektedir. Uygulamalar, nesiller arası boyutu, sosyal çevresel değişimleri karşılayabilmek
amacıyla uzun vadeli planlamaları içermelidir.
2. Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma kavramının ortaya çıkışı
Bugün, insanlığın dünya üzerinde var olabilmesi için doğal kaynakların dengeli kullanılması
zorunlu hale gelmiştir. Eskiden doğal kaynaklar, insanlar tarafından sınırsız oldukları varsayılarak
kullanılmaktaydı. 1970’lerden sonra doğal kaynakların sınırsız olmadığı ve akılcı bir kullanım
yöntemi belirlenmezse hızla tükenecekleri gerçeği dünya çapında tartışılmaya başlandı.
Bu farkındalıkla birlikte “sürdürülebilir kalkınma” yaklaşımının temelleri, 1987 yılında Birleşmiş
Milletler Dünya Çevre ve Kalkınma Komisyonu’nun hazırladığı “Ortak Geleceğimiz” raporunda
atıldı. "Bruntland Raporu" olarak da bilinen bu rapor ekonomik etkinliklerin hali hazırdaki hız ve
nitelikte devamının, insanın dünya üzerindeki varlığı açısından "sürdürülemez" olduğunu tespit
etmektedir.
“sürdürülebilir kalkınma” kavramı, “gelecek kuşakların kendi ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabilme
olanağından ödün vermeksizin bugünün ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabilecek kalkınma” olarak
tanımlanıyor. Bir başka deyişle, insanla doğa arasında denge kurarak doğal kaynakları sonuna
kadar tüketmeden, gelecek nesillerin ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasına imkan verecek şekilde
bugünün ve geleceğin yaşamını ve kalkınmasını programlama anlamını taşıyor. Sosyal yapı,
ekonomi ve çevre sürdürülebilir kalkınma yaklaşımının üç temel bileşeni. Sürdürülebilir kalkınma
yaklaşımı ancak, bir ülkenin bütün ekonomik ve sosyal politikalarının çevresel politika ve
stratejileriyle bütünleştirilmesi sonucunda hayata geçirilebilir.
“Bruntland Raporu”, kalkınmanın yeni bir döneme girmesinin gerekliliğine vurgu yapar. Bunun
içinse şu şekilde bir planlama önerir; gelecek nesillerin ihtiyaçlarının ve yeryüzündeki yaşam
alanlarının insan etkinliklerini "taşıma" kapasitesinin göz ardı edilmediği, doğal kaynaklar
üzerindeki baskının ve yoksulluğun azaltılması için yeni bir teknolojik ve toplumsal yapılanmanın
hayata geçirildiği bir dönem.
Rapor, tüm bu değişimlerin hayata geçirilmesi adına değişim için küresel gündemin
oluşturulması çağrısı yapmıştır.
36
1972'de Stockholm'de gerçekleştirilen "Birleşmiş Milletler İnsan Çevresi Konferansı"yla
başlayan çevre sorunlarına küresel yanıtlar geliştirme çabaları, Bruntland Raporu'nu izleyen
dönemlerde yeniden yapılanmaya başlamıştır.
Bu toplantılarla beraber dünyadaki sosyal, ekonomik ve çevresel yapıyı küresel ölçekte göz
önünde bulunduran politikaların oluşturulması konusundaki tüm çabalara rağmen gelişmenin
istenilen düzeyde olmadığı görülmüştür.
Gelinen noktada, bu eksikliği gidermek üzere, sürdürülebilirliğin fiilen hayata geçmesini
sağlayacak yeni uygulama araçlarının ortaya konması bir zorunluluk olarak gündemin merkezine
oturmuştur.

KOLAYLAŞTIRCILIK
Kolaylaştırıcılık nedir?
Kolaylaştırıcılık, grupların etkin ve ortaklaşa çalışmalarını sağlamaya yönelik bir süreçtir.
Kolaylaştırıcılık, bir araya gelen insanların birlikte çalışmak için farklı kapasitelere, ilgi alanlarına
ve geçmiş birikimlere sahip oldukları durumlarda daha da önemli bir hale gelmektedir. En basit
ifadeyle kolaylaştırıcılık katılımcılık süreçlerinde, katılımcıların kendilerini en rahat ifade
edebilecekleri ortamı oluşturur(Gerry, 2000).
Kolaylaştırıcı Kimdir?
Kolaylaştırıcı bir etkinliğin en kısa sürede ve en verimli şekilde hedefine ulaşmasını sağlayan
kişidir. Kendi fikri ya da başkalarının fikirlerini yargılama hakkı yoktur. Tarafsızdır. Hedefi
katılımcıları en etkili bir biçimde sonuca götürmek, sıkılmadan, yorulmadan etkinliği
tamamlamalarını sağlamaktır. Bu konuda eğitim almış deneyimli kişiler bulunmaktadır. Eğitim
alınarak ve bazı beceriler geliştirilerek kısa sürede kolaylaştırıcılık becerileri edinilebilir (KAD,
2007).
Kolaylaştırıcı Kim Değildir?
Sorumlu olan kişi değildir: Kolaylaştırıcı toplantı yöneticisi ya da başkanı değildir. Diğer
katılımcılar üzerinde bir üstünlüğü yoktur. Kolaylaştırıcı yalnızca toplantı sürecini daha kolay,
daha keyifli bir hale getirir.
Konuşmacı değildir: Kolaylaştırıcı diğer katılımcılar gibi etkinliğin konularını araştırarak ve
başkalarının bireysel deneyimlerini aktararak bu öğrenme sürecine katkı koyar.
Uzman değildir: Görüşmeleri ayarlayan, kurgulayan kişi olsa da her konuda bazı taraflar kadar
bilgisi olmayabilir.
İlginin odağı değildir: İyi bir kolaylaştırıcı genellikle diğer katılımcılardan daha az konuşarak
diğerlerinin tartışmalara katılımını sağlar.
Hakem değildir: Kolaylaştırıcı etkinlikte hakem rolü üstlenmez. Ortak öğrenme süreçlerinde
fikirleri “doğru” veya “daha doğru” olarak tanımlamaz (KAD,2007)
Kolaylaştırıcı Nelere Dikkat Eder?
Amaç ve gündem:
Bütün katılımcıların etkinliğinin amacını bilmeleri ve hem fikir olmaları önemlidir. Amaç açık ve
basit olmalıdır ve etkinlik boyunca katılımcıların ihtiyaç duyduklarında görebilecekleri bir yerde
bulunmalıdır. Gündemin açıkça belirlenmiş olması katılımcıların gündeme odaklanmasına ve
kolaylaştırıcının zamanı iyi yönetmesine yardım eder.
38
Tanıştırma:
Etkinliğin başında öncelikle kolaylaştırıcı kendini tanıtmalıdır ve bütün katılımcıların kendilerini
isimleriyle birlikte tanıttıklarından emin olmalıdır. Etkinlikte bütün katılımcıların birbirlerini ismiyle
tanımaları sağlanmalıdır. Bunun için isim kartları kullanılabilir.
Temel kurallar:
Katılımcılar tarafından kabul edilen “toplantının temel kuralları”, etkinlik sürecince herkesin
göreceği yere yazılmalıdır. Örneğin:
- Bütün fikirler bizim için önemlidir,
- Aynı anda konuşmamalıyız, konuşanı dinlemeliyiz,
- Bütün katılımcılar eşittir,
- Cep telefonları kullanılmamalıdır,
- vd
Açık bir ortam:
Bireylerin fikirlerini rahatlıkla ifade edebilmeleri sağlanırsa gruplar çok daha etkin çalışırlar.
Kolaylaştırıcı, tüm katılımcıları diğerlerinin söylediklerini dinlemeye teşvik etmelidir. Eğer
toplantıda gruplaşmalar ve farklı tartışmalar ortaya çıkıyorsa kibarca bunun önüne geçmeli ve
aynı anda sadece bir tartışmanın yürütülmesini sağlamalıdır.
Tüm katılımcıları sürece dahil etmek:
Etkinlikte bazı katılımcılar daha sessiz kalmayı tercih edebilirler, kolaylaştırıcı bu kişileri tespit
ederek sürece katılmaları için teşvik etmelidir. Bazı kişiler kısık sesle konuşabilir ve diğerlerinin
sözlerini kesmelerinden dolayı alınganlık gösterebilirler. Bu kişileri konuşmaya teşvik etmek için
görüş ve katkıları sorulmalıdır.
Dikkat:
Kolaylaştırıcı, etkinliğin her aşamasını dikkatle takip etmelidir. Bir kenara çekilerek bireylerle
uzun tartışmalara girmekten kaçınmalıdır.
Örnek olmak:
Kolaylaştırıcı ortak hareket etmeyi teşvik etmek için kendisi, davranışları ile gruba örnek
olmalıdır. Kolaylaştırıcı dürüst, açık, saygılı ve tarafsız olmalıdır. Anlaşmazlık durumlarında taraf
tutmamalı, grubun görüşünü sormalıdır.
Rahatlık:
Birçok insan kolaylaştırıcılık konusunda gergindir. Bu gerginlik kolaylaştırıcılık görevini yapan
insanların davranışlarına yansır. Unutulmamalıdır ki, kolaylaştırıcının görevi, sorumlu olduğu
grubun beklenen sonucu elde etmesini sağlamaktır – yani sorumluluğu, bu süreci desteklemektir.
Mümkünse, etkinlik sonrasında katılımcıların bazılarından daha sonrası için kolaylaştırıcılık
becerilerini geliştirmek üzere etkinliğin kolaylaştırılması konusunda eleştiriler ve öneriler
alınmalıdır. (GERRY, 2000)

İyi kolaylaştırıcı olmak için aşağıdakiler gerekmez:
- Akademik dereceye sahip olmak veya her şeyi bilmek,
- Çok akıllı olmak,
- Çok iyi konuşmacı olmak ve
- Çok iyi lider olmak.
Ancak, iyi bir kolaylaştırıcı olmak için gerekenler şunlardır:
Tarafsızlık:
Etkinliğe katılan
koruyabilmektir.
tüm
katılımcılara
karşı
eşit
mesafede
durabilmek
ve
tarafsızlığını
Sıcak bir kişilik:
Herkesin kendisini çekinmeden rahat ve özgürce ifade edebilmesi için sıcak ve samimi bir
yaklaşım, güler yüzlü davranış, toplantının en başından itibaren sıcak bir atmosfer oluşmasına
yardım edecektir.
İyi dinleyici olmak:
Kolaylaştırıcı etkinliği baştan sona kadar dikkatle, aktif şekilde dinler ve takip eder.
Kolaylaştırıcılar gruptaki diğer kişilere göre daha az konuşurlar. Kolaylaştırıcılar genellikle tekrar
eder, özetler veya diğerlerinin söylediklerine doğrudan yanıt verirler. Konunun açıkça
anlaşılabilmesi için gereken kişilere, gereken zamanda ve gereken şekilde, gereken soruları
sorarlar.
Bireylerin hislerine ve ihtiyaçlarına duyarlılık:
Kolaylaştırıcının en önemli becerilerinden biri katılımcıların nasıl hissettiklerini anlamak ve farklı
durumlara nasıl karşılık verdiklerini çözmektir. Birçok kişi rahatsız oldukları veya kızdıkları
konuları paylaşmak yerine tartışmadan hatta çoğu zaman gruptan sessizce çekilirler. Ya da
kendilerini yeterince açık bir şekilde ifade etmekte zorlanabilirler. İyi bir kolaylaştırıcı bu kişileri
40
tespit edip sürece yeniden kazandırmalı; kişilerin diğerleri tarafından açıkça anlaşılabilmesini
kolaylaştırmak üzere, ifadesini daha açık hale getirerek diğerlerine tekrarlamalı ya da sorular
sorarak daha açık anlaşılabilmesini sağlamalıdır.
Grubun hislerine duyarlılık:
Kolaylaştırıcı grup dinamiklerini algılayabilmeli ve onlara cevap verebilmelidir. Kolaylaştırıcı
grupça paylaşılan öfke, sıkıntı, memnuniyet vb duyguları hemen algılayabilmelidir.
Nezaket:
Kolaylaştırıcı bazen grubun iyiliği için rahatsızlık verici eylemler yapmak veya tuhaf şeyler
söylemek zorunda kalır. Bunu dikkatlice ve nazikçe yapmak gerekir. Duygusal konularla
uğraşırken kolaylaştırıcının çok özenli olması gerekir.
İşbirliğine inanmak:
Ortak öğrenme, ortak karar alma süreci bazı durumlarda zaman kaybı, sinir bozucu ve etkin değil
gibi görünebilir ve böyle zamanlarda kolaylaştırıcılar kendi rollerini unutup öğretmen rolüne
bürünmeye ya da toplantı başkanı gibi davranmaya eğilimli olurlar. Ancak yine de ortak öğrenme
ve işbirliği hakkındaki değerlere inanmak, kolaylaştırıcının hâkimiyet kurma rolüne karşı
durabilmesine yardımcı olacaktır.
Zamanlama konusunda hassasiyet:
Kolaylaştırıcı verilen süreyi iyi kullanmalıdır. Toplantının akışına göre katılımcılara konuşmak
üzere vereceği süreyi adil bir şekilde ayarlayabilmeli; katılımcıların diğerlerine göre kendilerine az
süre verildiği hissinin önüne geçmelidir. Tartışmaların odaklandığı konuların, ana hedefle uyumlu
olmasını sağlamalı, ana temadan uzaklaşıldığını hissettiğinde tekrar katılımcıları asıl konuya
odaklamalıdır. Kolaylaştırıcı, zamanın izlenmesi hususunda birinden yardım isteyebilir.
Esneklik:
Kolaylaştırıcılar etkinlik öncesi plan yapmalı; ancak bu planlarını değişen durumlara göre
değiştirmeye de hazırlıklı ve istekli olmalıdırlar. Çoğu zaman katılımcılar, bir oturumu
beklenmedik bir tarafa yönlendirebilir veya belli bir konu üzerinde daha fazla zaman isteyebilir.
Kolaylaştırıcı grubun ihtiyaçlarını ve ortaya çıkan koşulları değerlendirip; buna nasıl yanıt vermesi
gerektiğini hızlıca tanımlayabilmelidir. Her tartışma önemlidir, bu yüzden bazen kolaylaştırıcının
konunun tam olarak ele alınması için bir konuyu kaldırma kararını da verebilmesi gerekir.
Mizah duygusu:
Kolaylaştırıcı etkinliği keyifli hale getirebilmek için grup içi espriler yapabilir veya yapılmasına
fırsat verebilir (KAD,2007). Ancak bu katılımcıların kültür ve değerleri ile uyumlu olmalı; herhangi
bir kişi veya grubu incitmemeli; fazla zaman almamalıdır.
Konuyu enteresan hale getirebilme kapasitesi:
Yukarıda bahsedilen espri yapma da dahil olmak üzere, bir tartışmayı sıkıcı halden çıkarmak
üzere farklı teknikler uygulayabilir. Örneğin, uzun tartışmaların, eğitimlerin olduğu toplantılarda,
ara sıra kalkıp vücut esnetme hareketleri yaptırmak, küçük oyunlar oynatmak gibi eylemlerle
katılımcıların tekrar konuya odaklanabilecek dikkate kavuşmalarını sağlayabilir. Bu yöntem daha
çok yetişkin eğitimi toplantılarının kolaylaştırıcılığında kullanılır.
41
Sabırlı olmak:
Kolaylaştırıcı etkinlik esnasında tartışmaların uzasa ve çatışmalar olsa bile sabırlı olmalı; olanlara
karşı tolerans göstermelidir; sakin kalmayı bilmelidir.
Organizasyon yeteneği:
Bir kolaylaştırıcı, toplantıyı en verimli hale getirecek teknikleri ve süreci belirleyebilmeli
çalıştaylarda kullanılacak malzemeleri, makina ve ekipmanı, kişilerin bu çalıştaylardaki rollerini,
oturma düzenini, kolaylaştıcı teknikleri, programın akışını, organize edebilmelidir.
Çatışmaları çözebilme becerisi:
Katılımcılar arasında tartışmalar sırasında herhangi bir çatışma çıktığında, soğukkanlılığını
koruyarak, tarafsız bir biçimde çatışmanın çözümlenmesine ve tarafların uzlaşmasına yardımcı
olabilmelidir. Gerginliğin arttığı durumlarda toplantıya ara vermek, çatışmanın taraflarıyla başka
bir ortamda görüşerek gerekirse önce ayrı ayrı, sonra bir arada görüşmek ve çözüm üretmek
gerekebilir. Bazı durumlarda çatışma sadece yeterli bilgi olmamasından, tarafların birbirlerinin
gerçek çıkarlarının nerede olduğunu tam olarak anlayamamasından çıkabilmektedir. Bu nedenle
kolaylaştırıcı tarafsız bir kişi olarak bu bilgileri sağlayıp, tarafları bilgilendirerek, çatışmayı
çözmeye çalışmalıdır.
Konuşulan konuya ilişkin bilgi:
Kolaylaştırıcının, konunun uzmanı olması gerekmez; ancak tartışılan konuya ilişkin arkaplan
bilgisinin olması; kullanılan terminolojiye aşina olması; konuya ilişkin kavramları bilmesi gerekir.

kilogram of fodder is TL 0.60. In addition we cannot market the milk products (such as butter
made using churns). There is no buyer. We can make butter either manually or using
machinery. If we use machinery, we cannot even cover the cost of it since the electricity costs
are high. We have some additional income thanks to animal husbandry. However, the milk is
very cheap. We do not have a cooperative. Even if we have one, it does not make any
difference in terms of prices. We have to apply the price that the Union of Milk Producers sets.
We cannot sell the milk products directly. We sell it to a wholesaler (Alkan Dairy). We keep
some of the milk for ourselves, and sell the rest of it. We make buttermilk, yoghurt or ekşimik
(T.N. a kind of cheese made of skim milk or yoghurt curds). We used to make cheese as well,
but it was contaminated with brucella, so we do not make it anymore.

have to carry the irrigation water on our back from a place at half-an-hour distance on foot.
Ones who have facilities carry their water by car or tractors. We cannot practice collective work.
We cannot practice farming because there is no water.
Young men leave the village because they cannot find women to get married or there are no
job opportunities in the village, whereas girls leave because they do not want to live in a village.
Population of the village is decreasing due to migration to towns and cities. Young people do
not want to involve in rural works, and they move to cities where they are encountered with the
most important and common problem of unemployment. The young people are mainly going to
Kırklareli to find a job. The young people are going to other places for education. All these
leavings decrease the workforce. If those young people do not come back to the village, the
village will gradually be dead. They study at universities, and pay visits to the village from time
to time. They will not come back to the village for good. There is migration to other towns and
cities from our village because of unemployment. People are leaving the village to work in the
factories, and they do not come back.
There should be commercial investments and business
opportunities. There should be an enterprise where we can work.
The only solution here is opening of new enterprises and factories
where the young people of the village will be employed.

cold rooms and then to sell the game meat based on the
permission we will receive.

cooperatives do not provide us with an insurance scheme. The forestry workers work without
insurance, they do not have social security and they have health problems. If they get these
services, they can survive. In the last four years, we experienced five to six accidents one of
which was deadly. We do not have enough money. The state only cares about the nature. We
work for the state, but the state does not provide our social security.
Thirty years ago, the Avcılar village used to have approximately 20,000 acres of treasury land.
Now it is military zone, and we cannot plant anything due to the prohibition. The Forestry
Enterprise has started to plant poplar trees, and this land is gradually being transformed into a
forestland. These are our most productive lands.
We are experiencing problems as to the roads in Balaban. The
short road, which is a forest road, is not coated with asphalt. The
other road of 4.5 kilometres from the Velika bridge to our village is
in a very bad condition. The road to Dupnisa cave is also in this
area. Tourists are coming here continuously, and this bad road

Only three people have animals in the village. We need support and incentives in terms of
animal husbandry. However; membership to the cooperative is prerequisite for receiving
incentives, and it is necessary to have a minimum of 30 members who do not have a social
security. There is no incentive given to the retired people for animal husbandry. The women are
not members of the cooperative. The women are not retired, but they are not counted.
It is very difficult to meet this requirement here in these villages.
We request you to decrease this number of minimum members.
We need barns to be used by three to five farmers collectively. The

want artificial insemination as a prerequisite. Yet, it is very difficult to separate the heifers from
the bullocks to prevent natural insemination when the animals are out at idle grazing in the
forest.
47
Issues
Needs
Animal husbandry is very costly. The expenses are more than the revenues.
We pick sloe, apple, blackthorn, linden, medlar, beans, cornelian cherry and thyme from the
forest but just for ourselves. The remaining just rots under the trees.
We planted pear, apple, cherry and walnut trees; but they are all dead.
We want soil analysis.
There are people coming here from Çorlu or Kırklareli to pick mushrooms. These people pick
the mushrooms before the local people do. Mushroom production is not done effectively.
Mushrooms are not considered as an alternative income generating material, because it is
something done only during two months in a year. It is not a long-term business. In addition,
hauling charges to be paid to Forest Enterprise for anything you take out of the forest. Forest
products are not profitable any more; one needs to learn about the mushroom varieties and
how to pick mushrooms. No one picks mushrooms since they are concerned about not
marketing it. People from the neighbouring villages come and pick tonnes of mushrooms in our
forests. One kilogram of mushroom is sold for TL 1.-; so everyone does the mushroom picking.
However, it is done not in an aware manner. These mushrooms are very expensive in İstanbul.
We can benefit from these mushroom resources. We need to pick
our own mushrooms. If there is a cooperative for mushrooms to
buy the picked mushrooms, this business can be run in an easy
and organised manner. Picking mushrooms is not easy. The
surface is not smooth and straight. Picking is also done in a rough
way, not an organised method at all. One should be trained to
single out the poisonous mushrooms. It is also necessary to find
marketing opportunities for these mushrooms, as well as sales
mechanisms to sell the natural mushrooms picked from the forests
to the EU countries.
Mushrooms are picked during two months a year. The harvest varies depending on the rainfall.
In some years, it is possible to pick 400 to 500 kilograms. Nonetheless, since the main activity
is to cut trees in the forest, there is no time to pick mushrooms. Unfortunately, we do not know
how to pick mushrooms without damaging mushrooms as well as the nature. We cover gas,
fertiliser and fodder costs with what we earn from the forest.
The 2b practice based on the Forestry Law has taken our lands that we have cultivated for 100
– 150 years. We are experiencing problems with the General Directorate of National Estate in
this regard. We cannot do anything without our fields and pastures. There are villages whose
40 to 500 acres are taken away with this practice. In our village, there used to be 36,000 acres;
now, it is 20,000 acres after the 2b practice.
The price of a kilogram of certified seeds is TL 1.10; when you want to sell, it is TL 0.40 to 0.50
per kilogram.

Needs
Before 1980, the wood belonged to the villagers whereas the forest assets were of the Forestry Regulations for “planted sales” should prioritise the forest villagers.
Department. Now they have taken it away from us, and started to contract it to the traders.
They call it “planted sales” where the trees are sold on site. What the villagers have lost here is
that they do not take money for ground skidding and carrying the timbers. The trader pays to
the villagers only for cutting. “Planted sales” contracts are against the Forestry Law, because
they do not protect the rights of the villagers. Village cooperatives cannot compete with the
other companies.
We are also experiencing problems for finding wood to burn in winter due to the same reason. Clear cutting/felling (coppicing) should be revisited.
Currently, even the rotten woods in the forests are not given to the villagers because of the new
regulation.
There are some problems in the relations with the Forestry Department. The Department sees
the events from a trader’s point of view. We can make more money if we are given the
opportunity of market sales. Annual profit of the Forestry Department is TL 5 million; but the
villagers do not benefit from this money, nor are they invested on. The trader makes money
from the cutting business. Besides, the Forestry Department brought workers from outside of
the region and decreased the amount paid to the workers.
The majority of our income is from the forest; however, recently our income is less than before.
We cannot earn enough from the forest as we used to do; because the price of wood is always
the same while the expenses have gone up. The annual average is 2 to 3 billion TL per
household.
Forestry work can only be done during a few months in a year.

Çukurpınar, and ending at the borders of Armutveren.
The local population is poor, not rich enough to create a model hunting area. Illegal hunting is
very common. There are many hunters coming from İstanbul, Edirne, Çorlu and Lüleburgaz.
We should either prevent them coming here or make it compulsory to purchase services from
guides. They even hinder the rights of local hunters here; but nothing can be done if they have
permission. There are a lot of complaints regarding the hunters coming from outside of this
area. There needs to be a solution for this problem of strangers coming here for hunting
purposes. The forests have become model hunting areas starting from the borders of our
village, in which we cannot enter.
Deer and partridges should be released in forests. This may be
considered as an income generation opportunity for the villagers.
Game tourism should be supported. Motel or pension management
can be encouraged for the accommodation of those hunters
coming from other cities, but it depends on the demand.
In the past, the villagers used to be preferred for employment as forest officers or fire fighters to The forestry organisation should employ local people.
work in the forests. Now, one has to take the KPSS (Examination for Selection of Civil
Servants) examination for such employment. This has two shortcomings: firstly, the forest
villagers cannot be employed; and secondly those who are not familiar with forestry at all are
employed to work in the forests.
We are experiencing water problems in our Çukurpınar village. The water resources in the
hunting area was allocated to the Kırklareli Municipality 50 – 60 years ago by the Special
Provincial Administration in order to supply drinking water to the Kırklareli center. The previous
mukhtar applied for allocation of some part of this water to the village for irrigation purposes
during the summer; but this was a not a written/formal application.
It is also said that in Çukurpınar the storage tank for irrigation water was closed to the utilisation

In İncesırt village, our other alternative income generating activities are animal husbandry and
agriculture. The number of animals is gradually decreasing since there are no young people to
look after them. Only six (6) households have animals. Milk production is 7-8 litres per animal
per day. There is no cooperative. Alkan Dairy purchases the milk. The animals are local breeds.
The price of one sack of fodder is TL 30. It is not possible to breed sheep since the young

There is no irrigation pond in Kurudere village for animal husbandry purposes.
The irrigation pond, which was planned to be built by the State

income being generated through animal husbandry. The project is
in the feasibility study process now. This pond will enable us to
practice animal husbandry efficiently. A villager having 200 acres

Protection and administration of trout should be encouraged. Hunting trout may bring
revenues to the village’s cooperative; however since the trout population is quite low
currently, the revenues will be low and we cannot cover this administration cost. If trout
hunting is prohibited in this area for the next two years, it is possible for the trout
population to increase again. Thus, we can earn enough to cover the administrative
costs.
Garbage dumpsters should be put on the roadsides. There is a lot of people visiting the
dam in summer season. We can make this place a touristic area, and charge the visitors
with entrance fee. We can then use the profit to buy garbage dumpsters and chairs to
use in weddings and other social gatherings.
Wastes should be separated for collection. Those plastic bags harming the environment
should not be used. We should use net-bags and paper bags as we used to do in the
past.
Threats will be removed if the Caucasian oil is not sold to Kıyıköy.
Establishment of wind power plants should be stopped.
The project for building a nuclear plant in İğneada should be stopped.
Villagers should be given 25 % premium from the forest revenues as it used to be in the
past.
Measures against fires should not be disregarded since there has not been any fires for a
long time. Continuity should be ensured.
Illegal and unauthorised wood cutting should be stopped. The Forestry Enterprise should
take necessary measures and apply penalties for those practicing illegal cutting.
The Yıldız Mountains can be opened for touristic activities but in a proper and an
acceptable manner. The forest, the flora and the fauna should definitely be conserved.
The local population should be trained on income generating activities.
The local population should be trained on protection of nature. This training should be
expanded to every segment of the society, and become sustainable.
If there was a chipboard factory, the forestry waste could be used and fewer trees would
be cut.
The local population should be informed about the Longoz and coastline.
Angling should be supported.
Trawling period, which has been extended until 1st of May, should be shorter.

Project conditions should be made
easier for forest villages
Training sessions should be
organised by the relevant agencies in
order to meet the training needs
The Provincial Directorate of
Agriculture could inform the villagers
on the legislation concerning
cooperatives
The cooperatives and the
muhtarships should inform the
relevant provincial/sub-provincial
agencies (Provincial Directorate of
Agriculture, Public Training Centre,
etc.) for their training needs.

their activity to one field
Lack of wood
processing facility in
villages that have a
cooperative
Financially difficult to
change the president or
the executive board
when they are failing
The executive and
auditing board are
working as volunteer
Marketing
Weak in
competitiveness
State should financially support
cooperatives (25% would be helping)
The number of members could be
increased but it won’t be sufficient.
State should support the cooperatives
at a certain level
channelling the EU funds
to create mechanisms to compete
with the private sector
Weak at marketing

meetings consecutively
can be excluded from the
cooperative)
Less affected by the
market risks compared to
individual entrepreneurs
WEAKNESSES
Open to discrimination
between members
Relations with the FDD
Absence of
cooperatives (in some
villages)
Sales on allocated
standing timber are not
in favour of
cooperatives
The forestry enterprise
does not consult
cooperatives or muhtars
when taking decisions
The legislation on
forestry have little
benefit for forest
villagers
The forestry enterprise
make profit but not the
villagers (but it employs
villagers without social
security)
Lack of information on
cooperatives
There isn’t union of
forestry cooperatives
FDD employs villagers
without social security
Legislation
Sanctions are not clear
if the management or
the members doesn’t
respect the rules
Grant supports cannot
be used because
eligibility criteria are
hard to fulfil
The state support for
forestry and for
agriculture are different,
there isn’t any support
for forestry
The capital of
cooperatives remain
weak because the
forestry enterprise
doesn’t return the 25%
In case of clear felling: forest must be
managed based on scientific
information
The villages who do not have a
cooperative should be demanding it.
FDD must allow some grace period
for allocated sales for cooperatives in
forest villages
The dialogue between FDD and forest
villagers must be enhanced
The legislation must be drafted by
taking the demands of the community
into account
The forest villagers must get greater
share from the profits generated from
forest products
FDD and cooperatives must be in
cooperation for the implementation of
legislation
Establishing the union of forstery
cooperatives
Taxes must be lowered for village
market sales (KPS)
The legislation must be complied, but
at the same time it mustn’t be
forgotten that there must be an
organized struggle to change
legislation in our favour
The legislation should be amended so
that the evaluation of the profit of the
Forest Enterprise should be changed
from the existing “regional level pool
system” to the “Directorate level

Other
Some of these
cooperatives have been
established because of
obligations and not of

The working field of cooperatives
should be enlarged;
Technical support to the cooperatives
in the form of machinary-equipment,
information and financial aid to help
them to be multifunctional
