Özet

Urban areas are facing significant challenges regarding sustainability due to rapidly increasing populations and changing environmental conditions. In this context, social fabric plays a critical role in achieving the sustainability goals of urban communities. This study examines the impact of social fabric on urban sustainability and explores the resilience strategies of communities. Social fabric encompasses elements such as relationships among community members, cooperation, and social capital, which enhance community resilience during crisis periods. By analyzing case studies conducted in various urban regions, the research demonstrates that communities with strong social ties are more resilient to environmental, economic, and social shocks. Additionally, strategies such as participatory planning, community-based projects, and social enterprises have been shown to support urban sustainability efforts. These strategies promote the active participation of community members, enabling the development of collective solutions and more effective use of resources. In conclusion, strengthening social fabric is vital for urban sustainability, and policymakers need to invest in this area. This study emphasizes the necessity of adopting social fabric-focused approaches in the development of urban planning and sustainability policies and provides a guiding framework for future research.
