Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the plant species preferences in the interiors of five-star hotels in Antalya in terms of plant design criteria and to determine the maintenance practices. In this context, indoor plants preferences, functions, maintenance practices were evaluated in terms of plant design elements and principles in twenty five-star hotels which were located in Turkey's most important tourism district of Antalya province coastal zone. According to the findings, economic concerns and maintenance difficulties have shown that low-maintenance and economical plants are generally chosen in the selection of indoor plants preferred in hotels. In addition, it has been understood that while plants find a place in planting designs due to their aesthetic features and their emphasis functions, the functions of improving air quality, contributing positively to human psychology, increasing work efficiency, restricting, directing functions were ignored.

Otellerde İç Mekân Bitki Tercihlerinin Bitkisel Tasarım İlkeleri Kapsamında Değerlendirilmesi ve Bakım Olanaklarının Belirlenmesi: Antalya Örneği

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Antalya ilinde yer alan beş yıldızlı otellerin iç mekânlarında kullanılan bitki türü tercihlerinin, bitkisel tasarım kriterleri açısından değerlendirilmesi ve bakım uygulamalarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda Türkiye’nin en önemli turizm destinasyonlarının başında gelen Antalya İlinde bulunan yirmi otelde yer alan iç mekan bitkileri, yerinde yapılan gözlemler ve sorumlu departmanlarla yapılan görüşmeler ile işlevleri, bakım uygulamaları, bitkisel tasarım öğeleri ve ilkeleri açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, ekonomik kaygılar ve bakım zorluklarından dolayı tercih edilen iç mekan bitkisi seçiminde genellikle az bakım isteyen ve ekonomik bitkilerin seçildiğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca bitkilerin estetik özelikleri ve vurgu yapma işlevleri nedeniyle bitkisel tasarımlarda yer bulurken, hava kalitesini iyileştirme, insan psikolojisine olumlu katkı sağlama, iş verimini artırma, sınırlama ve yönlendirme işlevlerinin nispeten ön plana çıkmadığı belirlenmiştir.
