Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Isparta il merkezindeki 33 mahallede bulunan müstakil ev bahçelerindeki çevreleme elemanlarını araştırmak ve değerlendirmektir. Bu amaca uygun olarak, toplam 278 hane halkına daha önceden hazırlanmış yüz yüze anket tekniği uygulanmış ve verilen cevaplar not edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, bahçe duvarlarının çoğunun peyzaj tasarım ilkeleri dikkate alınmadan inşa edildiği anlaşılmıştır. Bahçelerdeki ışık yoğunluğu ve gölge özellikleri, bitkisel materyalin gelişimi üzerinde önemli etkilere sahip olduğundan, ankete katılan 164 ev sahibi, bahçelerinin gölgeli bir özelliğe sahip olduğunu bildirmiştir. Ayrıca altı tip duvar elemanı (taş, beton, briket, ahşap, metal, bitki) gözlenmiştir ve bu duvarların çoğunlukla beton (72), taş (17), metal (8), briket (7), ahşap (2) ve bitkiden (1) yapıldığı anlaşılmıştır. Ayrıca, bu altı temel yapısal elemanın birbiriyle çeşitli kombinasyonuyla inşa edilmiş 43 duvarın bulunduğu anlaşılmıştır. Ancak bazı çevreleme elemanlarının estetik olmayan, harçsız taş ve çıplak betondan yapıldığı gözlemlenmiştir. Ön, arka ve yan bahçelere ait çevreleme elemanlarından (duvarlar, çitler, sınır elemanları), bazı müstakil konut bahçelerinin değerlendirilmesi için çeşitli fotoğraflar çekilmiştir. Bu çalışma sonucunda, Isparta kent merkezindeki birçok çevreleme elemanının, estetik ve fonksiyonel özelliklere sahip olmadığı ve çoğunlukla ihmal edildiği görülmüştür. Bu bağlamda, peyzaj mimarlığı disiplini açısından bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Abstract

The aim of this study was evaluating surrounding elements of selected housing gardens located in 33 neighborhoods of Isparta city center. The total of 278 face-to-face survey technique was applied on household and their responds were noted. It has realized that majority of garden walls had not appropriate design and landscape practice techniques applied. Because the light intensity and shady properties are important influence on garden planting, 164 of responders reported that their garden has a shady property. Moreover, six type of wall element (stone, concrete, briquette, wood, metal, plant) were observed but these walls are mostly constructed with concrete (72), followed by stone (17), metal (8), briquette (7), wood (2) and plant (1), respectively. In addition, 43 walls were found to be made combination of these six basic structural elements. But some surrounding elements were made from mortarless stone and bare concrete that are not particularly attractive. Some pictures from front-, back- and side garden’s surrounding structures (walls, fences, boundary elements) of family house gardens presented for evaluating. It was found that many of garden walls had no aesthetic and functional properties and mostly neglected appearance. In this sense, some suggestions have been made under landscape architecture discipline.
