EVALUATION OF EXISTING URBAN LANDSCAPE DESIGNS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF ECOLOGICAL LANDSCAPE DESIGN PRINCIPLES: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN THE CASE OF VAN, AGRI AND BITLIS REGION
For a sustainable and ecological city, there are studies on a balanced distribution between buildings and green areas. In this context, it is tried to increase the quality of urban life by making use of different green areas suitable for different usage purposes in the city. However, the fact that the rapidly increasing population meets the housing needs leads to a decrease in green areas, especially in city centers and nearby surroundings. The decrease in green areas in cities and the formations affecting the existing vegetation structure cause deterioration in the context of the urban ecosystem. What impact do different population densities and urban planning in cities have on the urban ecosystem and quality of life? Based on the question, this research was planned. The method of this study consists of four stages. A new ecological and sustainable design in cities by determining the natural and artificial landscape areas in the cities of Van, Ağrı and Bitlis, especially in the city of Van, and determining these areas in terms of design, sustainable and ecological form filling studies, and determining the differences created by these ecological areas in the cities of Van, Ağrı and Bitlis on the urban ecosystem and quality of life in line with the results obtained through the filled forms. understanding has been tried to be adopted. The original value of this study is to evaluate sustainability and ecological design in landscape design in Van, Ağrı and Bitlis cities by landscape architecture students and to instill ecological life in cities in new design areas. The common effect of the study is to explain the importance and necessity of ecological approaches in urban landscape design studies. As a result of this study, the main goal is to develop a self-sufficient, sustainable system that can be a part of the urban ecosystem. This study was supported by TUBITAK within the scope of TUBITAK 2209 program.
