“I thought I could remedy him. I Explained
the Seed and the Tree.
I thought that who
realizes the tongue of a flower cannot turn to evil? I couldn't make him understand the
value of living things. I couldn't teach love, it didn't work. The lines above are quotes from
TRT's radio drama "Sümbüller". Burak
is a motherless child deprived of his father's tender love and care.
The work tells how the child
was eventually brought to life by his father's fourth wife, Sevgi, with
patience, reason, and tender love, and also reveals the importance of nature in
human life. Tourism is
not just a travel activity that fills leisure time and aims to satisfy emotions
such as curiosity, excitement, shopping, and interest. Tourism is also a place and period
where we find the energy to resume and start in a post-industrial society where
we spend 80 percent of almost 24 hours a day working mentally and physically.
This meeting place is a
healing place in the form of nature, history, climate, health, and shopping.
The book called The Hidden
Life of Trees explains that trees feel pain and recognize the insect that gnaws
its leaves through its saliva and let them know that they have not forgotten.
Gerste (2017), in his book
"Wie das Wetter Geschichte macht: Katastrophen und Klimawandel von der
Antike bis heute" says that the climate brought luck to Rome in the
development period, and the opposite climate brought unlucky luck to Rome in
the decline period, with the changing precipitation regime and temperature.
In the book, he also explains
that human activities based on unsustainable production and consumption
negatively affect the climate and nature and that humans are both the cause and
the result of climate change. This
research examines the firm bond and relationship between nature, climate,
people, and tourism with an interdisciplinary approach.
