Disasters and pandemics that have occurred in the last decade have led societies to seek collaborative, sustainable and adaptable solutions to respond to profound social changes. The results of the surveys conducted by different institutions show that especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, the feeling of loneliness felt by individuals in the society has increased, and that encouraged the local governments to carry out various studies to increase the interaction between individuals in the society and improve public health.
The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred new approaches to social change, including increased interest in allotment gardening as a means of accessing urban green spaces amid lockdowns. Allotment gardening has become a powerful tool for improving people’s health and well-being, as well as strengthening social relationships. This study explores the role of allotments in improving planetary health and examines strategies to increase the accessibility of green spaces, and thus social relationships for social benefit in a sustainable context.
