Amaç – Çalışma, akademik ve politika tartışmalarında yaygın olan, çevresel sürdürülebilirliğin esas olarak çatışma sonrası yeniden yapılanma, teknolojik ilerleme ve kurumsal müdahaleler yoluyla elde edildiği varsayımını sorgulamaktadır. Uzun süreli abluka ve işgal altında çevresel sürdürülebilirlik uygulamalarının nasıl ortaya çıktığını incelemektedir. Çalışma, Gazze'de sürdürülebilirliğin planlı bir çevre stratejisinden ziyade, zorunluluktan kaynaklanan bir uygulama olduğunu göstermektedir.
Tasarım/veri/yöntem – Araştırma, belge analizine dayalı nitel bir tasarım benimsemektedir. 2010 ile 2025 yılları arasında yayınlanan uluslararası raporlar, teknik veriler ve akademik literatür sistematik olarak incelenmiştir. Analiz, çevresel uygulamaların daha geniş siyasi, ekonomik ve altyapısal kısıtlamalar içinde yorumlanmasına olanak tanıyan kuşatma çerçevesinin siyasi ekolojisi tarafından yönlendirilmektedir.
Bulgular – Gazze'deki çevresel uygulamaların öncelikle çevresel farkındalık veya resmi sürdürülebilirlik politikalarından değil, zorunlu kıtlık, altyapı tahribatı ve siyasi şiddet gibi yapısal baskılardan kaynaklandığını göstermektedir. Malzeme yeniden kullanımı, uyarlanabilir su yönetimi ve alternatif enerji çözümleri gibi uygulamalar, günlük yaşamı ve toplumsal sürekliliği sürdüren günlük direnç biçimleri olarak işlev görmektedir. Bununla birlikte, bu uygulamalar acil çevresel ve kentsel çöküşü hafifletmeye yardımcı olsa da, bu zorlukları üreten yapısal koşulları çözmemektedir.
Özgünlük/Değer – Makale, sürdürülebilirliği çatışma koşulları tarafından şekillendirilen bir hayatta kalma stratejisi olarak vurgulayarak, “zorunluluktan kaynaklanan sürdürülebilirlik” kavramını tanıtmaktadır. Sürdürülebilirliği siyasallaştırarak, çalışma politik ekolojiye ve eleştirel kentsel çalışmalara katkıda bulunurken, siyasetten arındırılmış yeşil sömürgeciliğin riskine dikkat çekmektedir.
