Abstract

AbstractAim of study: Roads, which are the effective landscape elements in relationship between people and nature, potentially divide the landscape into pieces. Forest roads are corridors which have visual functions that impress travellers’ memory with different experiences as well as their basic functions. Visual landscape assessment of these corridors is required and they need to be planned accordingly. Also in this study, it was aimed to reveal the visual landscape value of a forest road. Area of study: This study was carried out on Kafkasör-Mersivan route which linked two different recreational areas in Artvin. Material and Methods: In visual landscape assessment of this route, a photo-based questionnaire was conducted with 230 people who knew the route, consisted of different user groups (public, forest engineers and landscape architectures).Main results: Results showed that this route has an important visual value in the region. Some suggestions were provided about assessing the data obtained from the study in forest road planning. Research highlights: Determining the routes which have visual value in forest road planning process and ensuring public participation in visual assessment process will be useful to contribute protection and sustainability of these ecosystems.

Özet

Özet Çalışmanın amacı: İnsan ile doğa arasındaki ilişkilerin kurulmasında etkili peyzaj elemanları olan yolların; içinden geçtikleri peyzajı parçalara ayırma potansiyeli mevcuttur. Orman yolları; temel fonksiyonlarının yanı sıra seyahat edenlerin belleğinde farklı deneyimler bırakan görsel işlevlere de sahip koridorlardır. Bu koridorların görsel peyzaj değerlendirmesinin yapılması ve bu doğrultuda doğru bir şekilde planlanması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada da bir orman yolunun görsel peyzaj değerinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma alanı: Çalışma iki farklı rekreasyon alanını birbirine bağlayan Kafkasör- Mersivan (Artvin) mevkii arasındaki orman yolu güzergâhı boyunca yürütülmüştür.Materyal ve Yöntem: Bu güzergâhın görsel değerlendirmesinde fotoğraf temelli anket çalışması, yol güzergâhını kullanan farklı kullanıcı gruplarından oluşan (halk, orman mühendisleri, peyzaj mimarlarına) 230 kişiye uygulanmıştır.Sonuçlar: Sonuçlarda bu rotanın bölgede önemli bir görsel değere sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda elde edilen verilerin orman yolu planlama sürecinde değerlendirmesine ilişkin önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Araştırma vurgular: Orman yolu planlama sürecinde görsel değere sahip rotaların belirlenmesi ve görsel değerlendirme sürecine halkın katılımının sağlanması bu ekosistemlerin korunmasına ve sürdürülebilirliğine katkıda sağlaması açısından faydalı olacaktır.
