The Concept of Landscape Quality in the Planning of Rural Spaces: Yeþilýrmak Basin Example

Landscape Quality; it is in its best condition that we live in the best known features of the landscape. The ability of landscape structure and functions to meet the needs and expectations of living things. The determination of landscape quality objectives and the integration of landscape planning approaches with all sectoral and spatial plans was undertaken in 2003 by the European Landscape Convention which is accepted in our country.
In this study, evaluation of the current quality of the landscape has been carried out by evaluating 22 potential landscape qualities, which are supposed to constitute the landscape quality, and analyzing 26 landscape quality reducing analyzes together. In addition, some evaluations were made on the plan decisions in the environmental plan, in which the landscape data obtained from the landscape quality are compared with the environmental plan made in the project area and the landscape planning approaches are considered to be the least ecological based approaches.

As a result, it has been shown that the concept of landscape quality in urban and rural areas, both in spatial planning studies and in planning can provide the ecological basis for plans. In this context, it has been determined that landscape atlas prepared in basin scales can easily be integrated into different projects in the basin or region scale.

Kýrsal Mekanlarýn Planlanmasýnda Peyzaj Kalitesi Kavramý: Yeþilýrmak Havzasý Örneði

Peyzaj Kalitesi; içinde yaþadýðýmýz peyzajýn bilinen en iyi özelliklerini bünyesinde taþýmasý durumudur. Peyzaj yapýsýnýn ve fonksiyonlarýnýn canlýlarýn beklenti ve gereksinimlerini karþýlayabilme yeteneðidir. Peyzaj kalite hedeflerinin belirlenmesi ve peyzaj planlama yaklaþýmlarýnýn ya da peyzaj planlarýnýn tüm sektörel ve mekânsal planlarla bütünleþtirilmesi 2003 yýlýnda ülkemizde kabul edilen Avrupa Peyzaj Sözleþmesi ile taahhüt edilmiþtir.
Bu çalýþmada peyzaj kalitesini oluþturduðu varsayýlan 22 adet potansiyel peyzaj kalitesini ifade eden analiz ile 26 adet peyzaj kalitesini azaltan analizin bir arada deðerlendirilmesiyle, peyzajýn mevcut durumdaki kalitesinin belirlenmesi gerçekleþtirilmiþtir. Ayrýca peyzaj kalitesi ile elde edilen verilerin proje alanýnda yapýlan çevre düzeni planlarý ile karþýlaþtýrýlmasý yapýlarak, peyzaj planlama yaklaþýmlarýnýn, ekolojik temelli yaklaþýmlarýn en az düzeyde olduðunu düþündüðümüz çevre düzeni planýndaki plan kararlarý üzerinde bazý deðerlendirmeler yapýlmýþtýr.
Sonuçta mekânsal planlama çalýþmalarýnda gerek kýrsal gerekse kentsel alanlarda peyzaj kalitesi kavramýnýn, planlara ekolojik temel saðlayarak yön verebileceði ortaya konulmuþtur. Bu kapsamda havza ölçeklerinde hazýrlanan peyzaj atlaslarýnýn havza ya da bölge ölçeðinde hazýrlanan farklý projelerle, mekansa ve sektörel planlarla rahatlýkla bütünleþtirilebileceði belirlenmiþtir.
