Abstract

İklim değişiminin yarattığı önemli sorunlardan biri orman yangınlarıdır. Orman yangınları gerek doğal gerekse de antropojenik sebeplerden dolayı ortaya çıkmaktadır. Sıcaklığın artması, kuraklık, sıcak dalgaları, iklim koşulları gibi iklim değişikliğinin etkileri ile ortaya çıkan orman yangınları giderek artmaktadır. Orman yangınları nedeniyle ortaya çıkan akut ve kronik etkiler yaşamda önemli değişimlere neden olmaktadır. Yangınların neden olduğu akut ve kronik etkiler sonucunda sadece ormanlar zarar görmez aynı zamanda flora, yaban hayatı, su kaynakları, toprak, iklim, rekreatif amaçlarla insanların faydalandıkları alanlar ile ormanlık alanların yakını ve çevresindeki yerleşim yerleri de zarar görmektedir. Sonuçta sıcaklığın artması, kirlilik, salgın hastalıklar, kuraklık, besin kıtlığı, orman yangınları gibi değişimler ruh ve beden sağlığını doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak etkilemektedir. Orman yangınlarına maruz kalmak doğrudan travmatik bir etki yaratırken; dolaylı olarak da yoksulluk, işsizlik ve barınma gibi bir dizi sosyal, politik ve ekonomik nedenlerde ruh sağlığını etkilemektedir. Orman yangınları bir çevresel değişim de yaratmaktadır. Bu çevresel değişim bireyde kayıp duygusu yaratmakta, aidiyet duygusu kaybolmakta, yeni çevre ile bağ kuramamakta, uyum sağlaması güçleşmekte ve sıkıntı yaşamasına neden olmaktadır. İklim değişikliği nedeniyle sık karşılaşılan psikolojik sorunlar gelecek hakkında belirsizlik, çaresizlik, stres, anksiyete, travma sonrası stres bozukluğu ve depresyon olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. İklim değişiminin sonuçlarının ruh sağlığını etkilemesi nedeniyle bazı yeni ruh sağlığı kavramları tanımlanmaktadır. “Solastalji” bu yeni ruh sağlığı kavramlarından biridir. Solastalji insanın teselli bulduğu şeyin/şeylerin kaybı ve çevresel değişimin neden olduğu acıyı ve sıkıntıyı ifade eden bir terim olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Solastalji, ekosistem sağlığı ve insan sağlığı arasındaki bağlantıları, özellikle iklimsel ve çevresel değişimin zihinsel, duygusal ve ruhsal sağlık üzerindeki kümülatif etkilerini anlamak için ruh sağlığı uzmanları tarafından bilinmesi gerekli bir kavramdır.

Solastalgia and Forest Fires

Year 2023, Volume: 15 Issue: 3, 468 - 476, 30.09.2023

Abstract

One of the important problems created by climate change is forest fires. Forest fires occur due to both natural and anthropogenic causes. Forest fires, which occur with the effects of climate change such as an increase in temperature, drought, heat waves, and climatic conditions, are increasing gradually. Acute and chronic effects caused by forest fires cause significant life changes. As a result of the fire, not only forests are damaged, but also flora, wildlife, water resources, soil, climate, areas used by people for recreational purposes, and settlements near and around forested areas. As a result, changes such as increases in temperature, pollution, epidemics, drought, food shortage, and forest fires, affect mental and physical health. While exposure to forest fires creates a direct traumatic effect; indirectly, it affects mental health for a number of social, political and economic reasons such as poverty, unemployment and housing. Forest fires also create an environmental change. This environmental change creates a sense of loss, the sense of belonging is lost, it cannot connect with the new environment, it becomes difficult to adapt and causes distress.Uncertainty about the future, helplessness, stress, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression are common psychological problems due to climate change. It defines some new mental health concepts as the consequences of climate change affect mental health. "Solastalgia" is one pf these new concepts. Solastalgia is defined as a term that expresses the pain and distress caused by the loss of the thing/things that people find solace and environmental change. Solastalgia is a necessary concept for mental health professionals to understand the links between ecosystem health and human health, especially the cumulative effects of climatic and environmental change on mental, emotional and spiritual health.
