Yeşil ergonomi: Ergonomiye ekolojik bir yaklaşım.

Environmental problems, one of the most important problems of today, are becoming more visible day by day and they are addressed by many different disciplines. Even though the underlying work or productivity are no longer the only areas of study, ergonomics has proven at some point that it is more than a “science of work” with the criticism it has received. Ergonomics, criticized for its insensitivity to ecological problems for the last 30 years, should be given importance in terms of allowing multidisciplinary studies. From this viewpoint, the focus of the present article is on Neville Moray’s criticisms of this insensitivity and Andrew Thatcher’s definition, and the scope of green ergonomics. Green ergonomics suggest a new approach to ergonomics, starting from the fact that pro-nature designs need to be made. It is possible to implement designs in a way that does not harm nature, in order to solve not only the problems of nature, but also the problems of crowded cities. The present article aims to example that it can provide environmental and social benefits through the studies carried out in cities by referring to green ergonomics. In consideration of the fact that the world is becoming increasingly crowded and that the urban development is experienced rather than rural, it is important to consider the green ergonomics approach in the designs to be made in all areas from food safety to green space requirement.
