URBAN FORESTRY AND ITS PRACTICES IN ARTVIN

Abstract

Urban population expansion is taking place most rapidly in Turkey, and cities are experiencing some serious problems: deterioration of air quality, higher air temperatures, increased noise levels, greater psychological stress and a decreased sense of community.  Urban forests are all the trees and other vegetation growing in and close to urban areas, and it should be managed for their economic, environmental and social benefits. The amount, type, location and condition of urban vegetation directly affect the amount of benefits derived from the vegetation and their associated costs.  Trees and green spaces help keep cities cool, act as natural filters and noise absorbers; improve microclimates and protect and improve the quality of natural resources, including soil, water, vegetation and wildlife. Trees contribute significantly to the aesthetic appeal of cities, thereby helping to maintain the psychological health of their inhabitants. Beyond
ecological and aesthetic benefits, urban forestry has a role in helping resource-poor populations meet basic needs, particularly but not exclusively in developing countries.  The city of Artvin isn’t rich in urban trees which are those in street trees and in local parks but rich in those along greenspace areas around city.  But, trees and green spaces didn’t play an important role in improving city living conditions. Thus, urban forests in  Artvin should become an integral part of the efforts to improve  the quality of life in Artvin.  Forest General Directorate established an “urban forest” in Artvin in 2006 and this area contains more than 95 plant species.
