Advantages and Risks of Vertical Gardens

Year 2017, Volume: 19 Issue: 1, 51 - 57, 01.06.2017

Abstract

Urbanization which is one of the most serious problems
in 21st Century, causes many environmental problems such as concrete areas and
population increase. Although the decreasing urban green areas cause many
environmental problems, it provides a basis for developing vertical garden. The
vertical gardens are defined as gardens that cover façade walls with using
various plant species by systems.

The vertical gardens not only increase urban green
areas but also have some functions such as sound and heat isolation, energy
productivity, air quality improvement, heat island reduction, aesthetics occurrence,
and positive contribution to human psychology. Factors such as constant
maintenance difficulties, high cost, lack of knowledge and consciousness in
vertical gardens are preparing for the aesthetic purposes and preventing the
spread of applications.





This study was carried out with the aim of determining
the advantages of the vertical gardens and their risks. In this context,
literature review was conducted and vertical garden’s types and the advantages
and risks of vertical garden were examined. As a result of the study, it has
been revealed that the vertical gardens had an important place in urban areas
especially for increasing energy efficiency and ensuring sustainable
development.

Dikey Bahçelerin Avantajlari ve Riskleri

Year 2017, Volume: 19 Issue: 1, 51 - 57, 01.06.2017

Abstract

21. yüzyılın en büyük sorunlarından
birisi olan kentleşme; yapı alanları ve nüfus artışı gibi olumsuzluklarla
birlikte birçok çevre sorununa da neden olmaktadır. Kentsel yeşil alanların
azalması birçok çevre sorununa neden olurken dikey bahçe kavramının da geliştirilmesine
zemin hazırlamıştır. Dikey bahçeler, cephe duvarlarının çeşitli sistemler
yardımı ile çeşitli bitki türleri kullanılarak kaplanması olarak
tanımlanmaktadır.

Dikey bahçelerin kentlerde yeşil alan
miktarını artırmanın yanı sıra ses ve ısı izolasyonu, enerji verimliliği, hava
kalitesini iyileştirme, ısı adası etkisini azaltma, estetik görünümleri ile
insan psikolojisine olumlu katkı yapmak gibi işlevlere sahiptir. Dikey
bahçelerin sürekli bakım zorluğu, maliyet, bilgi ve bilinç eksikliği gibi
faktörler sadece estetik amaçlı kullanılmasına zemin hazırlamakla birlikte
uygulamaların yaygınlaşmasına engel olmaktadır.





Bu çalışma dikey bahçelerin
sağladığı yararların ve neden olduğu olumsuz yanların belirlenmesi amacı ile
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda yurtiçi ve yurtdışında yapılan tüm çalışmalar
incelenerek literatür taraması yapılmış ve dikey bahçe çeşitleri ile dikey
bahçelerin olumlu ve olumsuz yönleri incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda dikey bahçelerin
kentsel alanlarda özellikle enerji verimliliğini artırmakta ve sürdürülebilir
kalkınmanın sağlanmasında önemli bir yer tuttuğu ortaya konmuştur.
