Abstract

Cities, as complex entities composed of interdependent and multi-layered systems, are inherently vulnerable to both natural disasters and human-induced threats. Nevertheless, they are not only spaces exposed to adverse impacts but also strategic hubs for infrastructure, sustainability, technology, and investment. In the face of evolving economic, social, cultural, and environmental dynamics, ensuring urban resilience against sudden shocks and long-term stresses has become a critical priority. This study, conducted specifically for the province of Rize, focuses on the development of green area action plans aimed at enhancing the resilience of coastal cities. The primary objective is to contribute to the creation of greener and more inclusive urban environments that can sustain their functionality during crises, resist various shock and stress factors, and play a risk-mitigating role. Within this framework, living spaces were evaluated with respect to climate change, urban infrastructure, transportation models, and open-green areas. Urban resilience was analyzed through key parameters including population, climate, residential patterns, open-green spaces, transportation systems, land use, accessibility, and walkable access distances. Based on the findings, strategic recommendations for open-green space planning and the formulation of green area action plans were developed to strengthen the adaptive capacity and sustainability of coastal urban environments.

Abstract

Kentler, birbirine bağımlı ve çok katmanlı sistemlerden oluşan karmaşık yapılar olmaları nedeniyle hem doğal afetler hem de insan kaynaklı tehditler karşısında kırılgan yapılardır. Bununla birlikte, kentler yalnızca olumsuzluklardan etkilenen alanlar değil, aynı zamanda altyapı, sürdürülebilirlik, teknoloji ve yatırım açısından stratejik odak noktalarıdır. Zaman içerisinde değişen ekonomik, sosyal, kültürel ve çevresel dinamikler karşısında, ani şoklar veya uzun süreli stres unsurlarına karşı kentsel dayanıklılığın sağlanması büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu bağlamda, Rize ili özelinde yürütülen bu çalışmada, dayanıklı kıyı kentleri için yeşil alan eylem planlarının oluşturulması ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın temel amacı; kriz dönemlerinde işlevselliğini koruyabilen, şok ve stres faktörlerine dirençli, risk azaltıcı etkileri bulunan, daha yeşil ve kapsayıcı kentsel alanların oluşturulmasına katkı sağlamaktır. Bu kapsamda yaşam alanları; iklim değişikliği, kentsel altyapı, ulaşım modelleri ve açık-yeşil alanlar açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Kentsel dayanıklılık, nüfus, iklim, yerleşim alanları, açık-yeşil alanlar, ulaşım sistemleri, arazi kullanımı, erişilebilirlik ve yaya erişim mesafeleri gibi temel parametreler çerçevesinde analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, açık-yeşil alan planlama stratejileri ile açık-yeşil alan eylem planı önerileri geliştirilmiştir
