Abstract

Plants in cities; help to keep the balance of
the ongoing interaction between the environment and the human system by its
visual and functional effects . It is possible to develop alternative
solutions to eliminate visual pollution by evaluating the color, texture, form,
size and similar properties of plant materials and the potential properties of
the composition with other inanimate materials such as highlighter, background
forming, harmonizing and concealer. The number of ornamental plant species that
grow in cold climates is less than in warm climates. For
this reason, especially in the landscaping works of urban spaces, it is
difficult to create the desired visuality with aesthetically qualified plants
that are suitable for the ecology of the area, without creating monotony, with
color variety.

In
this study, the importance of plant and plant compositions in the solution of
visual problems in urban environments in cold climatic conditions is
emphasized.

The
potential of ornamental plants that can be used for this purpose in preventing
visual pollution is given. It has been shown how to use prominent features of
these ornamental plants such as size, form, texture, and vegetation periods to
improve visual landscape in urban spaces in a long time. In addition to the
design group disciplines that have activity on planning or application basis in
the city and its surroundings, Landscape Architecture discipline can provide
visual improvement of the studies to be carried out in detail in terms of
planting design. In
addition to the design group disciplines that are effective on planning or
application basis in the city and its surroundings, the studies to be carried
out in detail in terms of planting design as a discipline of Landscape
Architecture can provide visual improvement. In addition to the design group disciplines that are
effective on planning or application basis in the city and its surroundings,
the studies to be carried out in detail in terms of planting design as a
discipline of Landscape Architecture can provide visual improvement.
