In conclusion, there was no interconnected system of open and green spaces in the study area, quality and quantity of the existing urban open and green spaces were not very promising but there was an important reserve of open and green spaces on the fringes of the Bornova district that can be used for establishing a future green infrastructure.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:In this study, natural and artificial patches and corridors as the elements of the urban green areas system were identified using land use map of the year of 2014 in order to reveal the structure of open and green spaces in the Bornova district.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The structure of aforementioned elements of the open and green space system was analyzed using eight landscape metrics, which are Class Area (CA), Number of Patches (NP), Proportion of Landscape (PLAND), Landscape Shape Index (LSI), Mean Patch Size (AREA_MN), Mean Proximity index (PROX_AM), Radius of Gyration (GYRATE_AM) and Nearest Neighbor Distance (ENN_AM).

Abstract

In this study, natural and artificial patches and corridors as the elements of the urban green areas system were identified using land use map of the year of 2014 in order to reveal the structure of open and green spaces in the Bornova district. The structure of aforementioned elements of the open and green space system was analyzed using eight landscape metrics, which are Class Area (CA), Number of Patches (NP), Proportion of Landscape (PLAND), Landscape Shape Index (LSI), Mean Patch Size (AREA_MN), Mean Proximity index (PROX_AM), Radius of Gyration (GYRATE_AM) and Nearest Neighbor Distance (ENN_AM). It was determined that the ratio of potential elements of the open and green space system, patches and corridors in the urban development area was 45% (43% patch, 2% corridor) in total. Moreover, patches and corridors with predominantly natural character were randomly scattered throughout the urban landscape and showed a very low continuity. In conclusion, there was no interconnected system of open and green spaces in the study area, quality and quantity of the existing urban open and green spaces were not very promising but there was an important reserve of open and green spaces on the fringes of the Bornova district that can be used for establishing a future green infrastructure.

Özet

Bu araştırmada; Bornova kentsel peyzajı içindeki açık ve yeşil alanların strüktürünü ortaya koymak amacıyla, kentsel açık ve yeşil alan sisteminin bileşenleri olan doğal ve bitkilendirilmiş parça ve koridorlar, 2014 yılı arazi kullanım haritası kullanılarak tanımlanmıştır. Bu bileşenlerin strüktürü; sekiz adet peyzaj metriği (sınıf alanı (CA), parça sayısı (NP), peyzajın oranı (PLAND), Peyzaj şekil indeksi (LSI), ortalama parça büyüklüğü (AREA_MN), yakınlık indeksi (PROX_AM), süreklilik indeksi (GYRATE_AM), mesafe indeksi (ENN_AM)) kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada, kentsel açık ve yeşil alan sistemi oluşturma potansiyeline sahip parça ve koridorların kentsel gelişme alanı içindeki oranının % 45 (% 43 parça, % 2 koridor) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar ayrıca kentsel gelişme alanı içinde düzensiz dağılım gösteren parça ve koridorların büyük ölçüde doğal karakterli olduğunu, aralarındaki mesafelerin fazla ve peyzajdaki sürekliliğinin düşük olduğu göstermiştir. Araştırma sonuçları; kentte bir yeşil alt yapı sisteminin bulunmadığını, niceliksel açıdan açık ve yeşil alanların kentsel peyzaj içindeki durumunun yeterli olmadığı, ancak kentin içinde olmasa da çeperlerinde gelecekte yeşil altyapı sistemi oluşturmak için uygun olarak kullanılması halinde kent ekosistemine daha çok katkı sağlayabilecek önemli yeşil alanlar bulunduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
