📄 Abstract
Inspired by the Slow Food Movement, the main purpose of the Cittaslow approach is to inspire a healthier lifestyle by disseminating the Slow Food philosophy to local communities and city governments and implementing eco-gastronomy concepts in daily life practice. Accordingly, food consumption should be seasonal, and respect for health should be the first practice. The second obvious practice is to ensure that places such as works of art, squares, theatres, shops, cafes and restaurants are protected and used in the spirit of ancient culture and traditions. Thus, it is desired to resist the homogenization and globalization of the city by protecting the environment and preserving the cultural diversity and originality of the city. A third sign is that slowing the pace of life and traffic flow in settlements increases everyone's quality of life. Seferihisar, Turkey's first calm city, offers very special historical heritage items from the past, natural beauties and handmade products of today. Their promotion and protection are extremely important. Again, this example is intended to be a criterion for candidate settlements that will enter this group in the future.
