Abstract

The purpose of the study was to analyze the various literature on urban green area planning and spatial analyses, and to define the possible related subject in the future. Urban green area term, green area classification, urban planning and Geographic Information System (GIS), green area planning and spatial analyses, green area planning using GIS, and trends in national and world literature on these subjects were investigated. It was detected that studies on autonomous system development on green area planning and intelligent cities, and qualified planning approaches focused on spatial accessibility, environmental biology, soil and rehabilitation using GIS on an urban scale were insufficient in the literature. When the top 10 journals with the publication counts on the subject were examined, it was determined that most of the journals were in the Web Of Science database Quarter 1 category, and similar subjects were popular in high-quality journals. According to the scientific contribution, the highest effect based on countries was detected in Finland.

Kentsel Yeşil Alanların Planlamasında Kullanılan Konumsal Analiz Yöntemleri ve Kullanım Olanakları

Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı, kentsel yeşil alan planlaması ve konumsal analizlerin kullanım olanaklarını, dünyadaki bilimsel literatürlerdeki yerini ve konuyla ilgili genel olarak yapılabilecek çalışmaları, farklı literatürlerden elde edilen orijinal çıkarımlar üzerinden analizini yapmaktır. Çalışma kapsamında, kentsel yeşil alan kavramı, yeşil alanların sınıflandırılması, kentsel planlama ve Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri (CBS), mekânsal analizlerin yeşil alan planlamasında kullanımı ve coğrafi bilgi teknolojileri yardımıyla kentsel yeşil alan planlaması konularında ülkemiz ve dünya literatürlerindeki eğilimler irdelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak; genel literatürde otonom sistemlerin oluşturulması ve akıllı şehirler kapsamında yeşil alan planlamasına yönelik çalışmaların, ulaşım ve erişim imkanlarına odaklanan nitelikli planlama yaklaşımlarının, kent ölçeğinde, çevre biyolojisi, toprak ve rehabilitasyon konularında coğrafi veriye dayalı çalışmaların yetersiz olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Konuyla ilgili en çok bilimsel yayın yapılan dergiler incelendiğinde, ilk 10’a giren dergilerin çoğunluğunun Web of Science (WOS) veri tabanında Quarter-1 (Q1) kategorisindeki dergiler olduğu, dolayısıyla yüksek kalitedeki dergilerde konuyla ilgili çalışmaların yayınlandığı görülmüştür. Ülkeler bazında bilimsel katkı açısından değerlendirildiğinde konuyla ilgili en etkin çalışmaların Finlandiya’da yapıldığı belirlenmiştir.
