Abstract

This study analyzes the spatial relationship between landscape architecture departments and research universities across Türkiye and the disaster risk levels of their respective provinces. This research adopts the perspective that landscape architecture plays a critical role in disaster management, particularly as climate change, rapid urbanization, and environmental degradation intensify disaster risks. Methodologically, the researchers scanned a total of 2.397 theses comprising 1.904 master's and 493 doctoral dissertations published by the Turkish National Thesis Center between 2002 and 2023, and identified 62 disaster-themed theses through keyword-based classification. Disaster risk maps from the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change of the Republic of Türkiye and university location information obtained from the Council of Higher Education (YOK) Atlas were analyzed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Using the obtained coefficient a and coefficient b values, the overall and disaster-focused productivity of landscape architecture departments was compared and correlated with spatial risks. The findings revealed that universities in provinces such as Ankara, Bursa, Van, and Düzce exhibited strong trends in both high overall productivity and disaster-focused theses production. In contrast, in some cities, despite high risk levels, disaster-themed production was low. Consequently, the analysis revealed that landscape architecture departments developed academic production with sensitivity to spatial risks and made critical contributions to topics such as post-disaster recovery, green infrastructure, and nature-based solutions. The study aims to contribute to providing scientific decision support in disaster planning through GIS-based analyses and to strengthening university-local government collaborations.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Türkiye genelindeki peyzaj mimarlığı bölümlerinin ve araştırma üniversitelerinin, bulundukları illerin afet risk düzeyleriyle olan mekânsal ilişkisini analiz etmektedir Araştırma, iklim değişikliği, hızlı kentleşme ve çevresel bozulmanın afet risklerini artırmasıyla birlikte, peyzaj mimarlığının afet yönetiminde kritik bir rol oynayabileceği yaklaşımını temel almaktadır. Yöntem olarak, 2002–2023 yılları arasında Türkiye Ulusal Tez Merkezi’ndeki 1.904 yüksek lisans ve 493 doktora tezi (toplam 2.397) taranmış; anahtar sözcük temelli sınıflama ile 62 afet temalı tez belirlenmiştir. T.C. Çevre, Şehircilik ve İklim Değişikliği Bakanlığı’nın afet risk haritaları ve YÖK Atlas’tan alınan üniversite konum bilgileri Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri (CBS) kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen katsayı a ve katsayı b değerleriyle, peyzaj mimarlığı bölümlerinin genel ve afet odaklı üretkenliği karşılaştırılmış ve mekânsal risklerle ilişkilendirilmiştir. Bulgular, Ankara, Bursa, Van ve Düzce gibi illerdeki üniversitelerin hem yüksek genel üretkenlik hem de afet odaklı tez üretiminde güçlü eğilimler sergilediğini, bazı şehirlerde ise yüksek risk düzeyine karşın afet temalı üretimin düşük olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç olarak, peyzaj mimarlığı bölümlerinin mekânsal risklere duyarlılıkla akademik üretim geliştirdiği; afet sonrası iyileştirme, yeşil altyapı ve doğa-temelli çözümler gibi konularda kritik katkılar sunduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışma, CBS tabanlı analizlerle afet planlamasında bilimsel karar desteği sağlanmasına ve üniversite yerel yönetim iş birliklerinin güçlendirilmesine katkıda bulunmayı hedeflemektedir.
