Abstract

Ecosystem
services and green infrastructure, which are important in terms of land use
planning in ensuring the sustainability of urban systems, are being used
effectively in urban planning studies in many developed countries around the
world. Green infrastructure systems are strategically planned networks of
natural, semi-natural and cultural areas. Ecosystem services describe the
benefits of ecosystem functions to people directly or indirectly. In this study
the relationship in green infrastructure and ecosystem services are evaluated,
their integration to landscape planning studies in urban scale is discussed and
analysed through studies conducted in Turkey and around the world. In this
context, the integration of the relationship between green infrastructure and
ecosystem services importance with the urban planning studies and policies in
terms of conservation and sustainability of natural and cultural landscapes in
urban areas, has been emphasized.

Kentsel Sistemlerde Yeşil Altyapı ve Ekosistem Hizmetleri

Abstract

Kent sistemlerinin sürdürülebilirliğinin
sağlanmasında alan kullanım planlaması açısından önem taşıyan ekosistem
hizmetleri ve yeşil altyapı çalışmaları, dünyada birçok gelişmiş ülkede kentsel
planlama çalışmalarında etkin olarak kullanılmaktadır. Yeşil altyapı sistemleri
doğal, yarı-doğal ve kültürel alanların stratejik olarak planlanmış ağlarıdır.
Ekosistem hizmetleri ise ekosistem işlevlerinin insanlara doğrudan veya dolaylı
olarak sağladığı faydaları tanımlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada yeşil altyapı ve
ekosistem hizmetleri ilişkisi kentsel ölçekte peyzaj planlama çalışmalarına
entegrasyonu, Türkiye ve dünyada yapılmış çalışmalar üzerinden
değerlendirilmiştir.
