Environmental Ethics in Turkey: a research on legal regulations

Abstract

In this study, it is thought that the concept of ethics should rise in the field of environment, as in many other fields. The aim of this study is to present the theoretical dimension of the environmental ethics approach and to try to evaluate the perspective on environmental ethics in the international arena and in our country.

In this study, theoretical studies, legislation scanning, interpretation of legislation, and international agreements are included. The theoretical explanation of the concept of ethics is mostly made in terms of environmental ethics. The scope of legislative review is not the presentation of articles or the inclusion of contracts as a whole. It is in the form of interpretation of the points that are considered to be ethical in the legislation. It is qualitative research.
