Sürdürülebilir Üniversite Kampüslerinde Yenilebilir Bitkiler Bahçesi

Abstract

Üniversiteler, eğitim-öğretim hizmetlerinin yanı sıra sürekli gelişen dinamik yapılarıyla farklı ihtiyaçlara yanıt veren mekânlardır. Bu çalışma, Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit Üniversitesi Çaycuma Yerleşkesi’nde yenilebilir bitkiler bahçesi (edible garden) tasarımı ve uygulamasını konu almaktadır. Edible garden yaklaşımının gençlerin doğayla olan bağını güçlendirmede etkili bir araç olduğu vurgulanmakta ve kampüs tasarımındaki rolü değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışma üç aşamada yürütülmüştür. İlk aşamada, kullanıcı tercihlerini belirlemek amacıyla öğrenci ve personel ile anket uygulanmıştır. İkinci aşamada, elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda yenilebilir peyzaj tasarımı gerçekleştirilmiş; üçüncü aşamada ise uygulamaya yönelik memnuniyet anketi yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar, alanın işlevselliğinin arttığını, bitkilere dair bilgi düzeyinin yükseldiğini ve estetik algının geliştiğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca yürüyüş yolları, oturma alanları ve kullanılan bitkisel materyalin çeşitliliği kullanıcılar tarafından olumlu değerlendirilmiştir. Bu uygulamanın üniversiteye prestij kattığı ve GreenMetric gibi sürdürülebilirlik ölçütlerine katkı sağladığı belirlenmiştir.

Edible Gardens on Sustainable Unıversity Campuses

Abstract

This study is about the design and implementation of an edible garden in Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Çaycuma Campus. Then, after determining the most suitable area within the campus, a survey was conducted with students and academic-administrative staff to determine the preferences of campus users. It is emphasized that the edible garden approach is an effective tool in strengthening the connection of young people with nature and its role in campus design is evaluated. In the first stage, a survey was conducted with students and staff to determine user preferences. In the second stage, an edible landscape design was carried out in line with the findings obtained; In the third stage, a satisfaction survey was conducted for the application. The results showed that the functionality of the area increased, the level of knowledge about plants increased and the aesthetic perception improved. In addition, the variety of walking paths, sitting areas and plant materials used were evaluated positively by the users. It was determined that this application added prestige to the university and contributed to sustainability criteria such as GreenMetric.
