Planting Design Project: The Case of Didim Marina

Abstract

D-Marin Didim Marina has been serving as one of the largest and most luxurious marinas in the Eastern Mediterranean since 2009. Covering approximately 40 hectares and containing many units and services, this marina is also an area with harsh climatic conditions for plants. The area has extreme conditions for plants such as strong salty winds from sea, high temperatures of summer, winter frost, sea water spray, sloped areas and perpetual winds throughout the year. In the area where these difficult conditions exist, the intention was to make a planting design with the lowest budget as economically as possible. As a result, in such a challenging site, the intended design had been realized, in addition to solving water erosion and aesthetic problems. Moreover, olive oil and lavender oil, which were obtained from the plants of the marina, were labeled, bottled and used as a gift. The planting design project was carried out by Didim Papatya Landscape Ltd. Co. and the author (as the designer and head of the plantation team). This paper explains, the planting design and implementation works carried out under difficult conditions between 2009 and 2012 by comparing it with the pre-design, design sequence and current state. By way of comparison, this paper discusses which plants are affected by environmental conditions, how they changed in time and proposes possible solutions for planting design.
