Abstract

Turkey is a rich country in biodiversity due to its characteristics like topographic and geomorphological structures it shelters, being an extended peninsula and climatic features. Europe and Middle East countries with the richest biodiversity distribution showing the number of plant species in Turkey is close to the number of plant species in the whole of the European continent.

According to data of TUBIVES 2017 (official plant database), Turkey owns more than 12000 plant taxa 3000 of which are endemic. Erzurum province shelters 264 of endemic plants growing in East Anatolia, some of which have medicinal and aromatic effects East Anatolia Region of Turkey is the second richest region in the country following the Mediterranean for the number of endemic plant species.

The method of research consists of survey, data collection, analysis and synthesis. As a result of this study; among the medicinal and aromatic plants grown naturally in and around Erzurum city, fruit, flowers, calligraphic features, seasonal colour change, plants which can be used as ornamental plants were determined and their usage areas in landscape architecture were determined.

Biyoçeşitlilik ve Kentsel Bahçeler: Erzurum (Türkiye) Kentsel Bahçelerinde Kullanılan Tıbbi ve Aromatik Bitkiler 

Öz

Türkiye, sahip olduğu topoğrafik, jeomorfolojik yapı, üç tarafının denizlerle çevrili olması, iklim özellikleri gibi faktörlerden dolayı biyoçeşitlilik yönünden oldukça zengin bir ülkedir.  Avrupa ve Orta Doğunun en zengin biyolojik çeşitliliğe sahip ülkesi olan Türkiye’de yayılış gösteren bitki türlerinin sayısı Avrupa kıtasının tümündeki bitki türlerinin sayısına yakındır. Yani, bu haliyle Türkiye Florası bir kıta florası niteliğine sahiptir.

TUBIVES 2017 verilerine göre; Türkiye, 3000 ’i aşkın endemik olmak üzere, 12000’e yakın bitki taksonuna sahiptir. Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nin sahip olduğu endemik bitkilerin 264 ’ü Erzurum kentine aittir. Bu bitkilerin bir kısmı tıbbi ve aromatik etkiye sahiptir.  Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi, endemik bitki sayısı yönünden Akdeniz Bölgesi’nden sonra ikinci sırada yer alır.

Araştırmanın yöntemini etüt, veri toplama, analiz ve sentez oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda; Erzurum kenti ve çevresinde doğal olarak yetişen, tıbbi, aromatik yönden kullanılan bitkiler arasından meyve, çiçek, kaligrafik özellik, mevsimsel renk değişimi bakımından etkili olan aynı zamanda süs bitkisi olarak kullanılabilecek bitkiler belirlenip peyzaj mimarlığındaki kullanım alanları tespit edilmiştir.
