Woody Plants Used in Green Spaces of Bingöl City and Their Use Aims
Abstract
In the design of open green spaces in urban and rural areas, the plant material is of great importance.
The basic part of plant material is woody plants in landscape works. In our country, mainly exotic plants are used in
plant design. It is only possible with the use of native plants to reduce the cost of constitution and maintenance in
plant works and to adapt plan materials ecologically to the local areas. Long term droughts caused by climate change
in the 21 st century will be a problem in the next years. Depending on such a condition, understanding of xeriscape
will gain importance. The use of natural plant cover is one of two main principles of xeriscape understanding. From
this perspective, in the use of natural plant cover, the cost of maintenance, irrigation facility and water amount will
be reduced. Bingöl city, a cold climate city, is determined to be rich in plant materials and offer plant diversity as the
result of the surveys conducted around the city. In the scope of the present study, woody plants used in open green
spaces in and around Bingöl city were determined by considering their use aims and rates
