Sustainable urban landscape
planning must regard the effect of the nearby rural population as well as the
urban society for the decision making on the spatial organization and
arrangement of the cities. The cities like Bartın where is immediately surrounded
by the villages, are under the pressure of the sudden incoming rural
population. In fact, the core nearby population within the 10 km distance is
approximately 26% of the total local population of Bartın central city whereas
the global nearby population within the mean 20.5 km distance slightly exceeds
that total local population. However, the core city center is not suitable for
adequately servicing public open space for such population flow; is able to
offer relatively qualified public open space for the average 1,500 persons. On
the other hand, the public open space of the global city center is to a certain
degree available for 26,250 persons. Nevertheless, the spatial composition of
the public open space within the core city center is dominated by the squares,
tea gardens and pedestrian trails while the public open space of the global
city center varies in characteristics including the cemetery yards, parks,
orchards and, especially long riverside trails. Consequently, in order to
acquire more public open spaces to meet the necessities of the prospective
additional rural population, the remaining parts of the riverside landscape
within the global city center should be introduced to serve as recreational
fields. Ultimately, urban landscape planning projects should also be extended
towards the urban periphery for sake of incorporating some of the isolated
forest patches into the urban forestry.
