Günümüzün

sürdürülebilir gelişmesine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda yapılan çalışmada
Aksaray kentindeki mevcut aktif yeşil alanlar; kent parkları ve mahalle
ölçeğinde, yasada ve yapılan çalışmalardaki öngörülen ortalama değerlere göre
kıyaslanmıştır. 2018 yılında, Aksaray ilindeki 41 mahalle incelendiğinde,
sonuçlara göre 889.375 m² yeşil alan tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, kişi başına
düşen yeşil alan miktarının ise 4.18 m² olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu duruma göre
yeşil alanların miktarı öngörülen değerlerin altındadır. Çalışmada incelenen 41
mahalleden 4’ü yeşil alan bakımından iyi durumdadır. Diğer 37 mahallede yeşil
alanlar standartların altındadır. Öncelikle, standartların altında olan bu
yerlerde yeşil alanların arttırılması ve parkların belirlenen standartları
karşılaması için faaliyetler yapılması gereklidir. Bu amaçlar doğrultusunda
