Özet:

 In an era fraught with environmental issues, -resource depletion, and economic crises, the circular economy has arisen as a revolutionary paradigm aimed at effectively achieving sustainable growth. Following the Industrial Revolution, economic growth and progress were viewed as limitless phenomena, and the capitalist systems drive for limitless profit was backed by a linear economic framework. Under this method, some natural resources such as water, minerals, and fossil fuels-are extracted, processed, and eventually turned into trash when the product they were used to make uses up all of them. Unlike traditional linear economics, which takes a take-make-dispose approach, the circular economy emphasizes resource efficiency, waste reduction, and the continuous use of materials, and is based on the idea that economic growth can be achieved as independently as possible from the use of natural resources. Cities play a crucial role in the transition to a circular economy. Because cities are where the majority of people live and where manufacturing and consumption occur most. The purpose of this study is to detect trends in the literature on the notion of circular city, to identify the key subjects addressed, to assess important studies, and to guide researchers or-implementers, and policymakers interested in the subject in their future research. Within the scope of the study, publications in the form of articles linked to the idea of circular city in the scientific area were searched in Scopus and Web of Science databases and examined using an integrated literature review methodology. The searches revealed that 88 publications about circular city were created between 1970 and 2023. The journal Sustainability has published the most scholarly papers on the subject. Furthermore, it was noted that the majority of the studies in the article category had to do with science and technology research. Circular city is a relatively current subject of research with historical roots.

 Çevresel sorunların, kaynakların tükenmesinin ve ekonomik krizlerin damgasını vurduğu bir çağda döngüsel ekonomi, sürdürülebilir büyümeyi başarılı bir şekilde gerçekleşmesine yardımcı olmayı amaçlayan dönüştürücü bir model olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Sanayi devriminden sonra ekonomik büyüme ve kalkınma sınırsız bir olgu olarak görülmüş ve kapitalist sistemin sınırsız kâr arzusu doğrusal bir ekonomik anlayışla desteklenmiştir. Bu anlayışta su, fosil yakıtlar ve mineraller gibi belirli doğal kaynaklar alınıp işlenmekte ve dönüştürüldükleri ürünün kullanım ömrünün sonunda atık haline gelmektedir. Al-yap-at yaklaşımını izleyen geleneksel doğrusal ekonomik anlayışın aksine döngüsel ekonomi kaynak verimliliği, atık azaltımı ve malzemelerin sürekli kullanımını vurgulayarak ekonomik büyümenin doğal kaynak kullanımından mümkün olduğunca bağımsız bir şekilde gerçekleştirilebileceği fikrine dayanmaktadır. Döngüsel ekonomiye geçisin sağlanabilmesinde ise kentlerin önemli bir yeri ve önemi bulunmaktadır. Çünkü kentler insanların çoğunun içerisinde yaşadığı üretim-tüketimin gerçekleştiği temel mekânlardır. Bu doğrultuda hazırlanan çalışmanın amacı, döngüsel kent kavramına yönelik literatürdeki eğilimleri tespit etmek, ele alınan ana konuları belirlenmek, ön plana çıkan çalışmaları incelemek ve konu ile ilgilenen araştırmacılara-uygulayıcılara-politika yapıcılara gelecekte hazırlayacakları çalışmalar için rehberlik etmektir. Çalışma kapsamında, Scopus ve Web of Science veri tabanlarında yapılan aramalar yoluyla bilimsel alanda döngüsel kent kavramıyla ilgili makale türünden yayınlar, bütünleştirici literatür taraması yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan aramalar sonucunda döngüsel kent konusunda 1970 - 2023 yılları arasında tabanında yer alan 88 yayının hazırlandığı tespit edilmiştir. Konu hakkında en fazla akademik çalışma Sustainability adlı dergi tarafından yayınlanmıştır. Ayrıca, hazırlanan makale türündeki tüm çalışmaların daha çok Bilim ve Teknoloji araştırma alanı ile ilgili olduğu görülmüştür. Döngüsel kent, tarihsel kökenleri olan ve hala çok güncel bir çalışma alanı olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
