Abstract

Kentsel tarım kent halkının gerek ekonomik gerekse bir serbest zaman uğraşısı olarak tarih boyunca önemini koruyan bir konu olmuştur. Bununla birlikte kentsel tarım, kentsel yeşil alan sistemine katkısı ile ekolojik anlamda kentsel yaşam kalitesinin artırılmasında önemli rol oynamıştır. Kentsel tarım alanlarının bu önemli rollerini bir örnek üzerinde somutlaştırmak ve günümüz yaşantısına dahil etmek amacıyla Tarihi Yedikule Bostanları çalışma alanı olarak seçilmiştir. Çalışma alanı İstanbul İli Fatih İlçesi sınırları içinde 1500 yıllık geçmişe sahip bir alandır. Bu alan kentsel tarımın en temel örneklerinden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. İnsanlar yüzlerce yıl bu alanda sebze-meyve üretimi ve satışı yapmışlardır. Bu çalışmayla Tarihi Yedikule Bostanlarını yeniden düzenlemek, yenilenen çehresiyle alanın kentsel yeşil alan dokusuna katkısını artırmak, geçmiş bir kültürü devam ettirirken kent halkına ekonomik kazanç ve hobi alanı kazandırmak hedeflenmiştir. Bu kapsamda tarihi çevre koruma ve kentsel tarım alanı düzenleme ilkeleri kapsamında çalışma alanının peyzaj tasarım projesi yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın tarihi, kültürel ve ekonomik değerleriyle yenilenen alana, alan kullanıcılarına ve kente katkısı olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır. Çalışma buna benzer alanların kentsel yeşil alan sistemi ve toplum kullanıma kazandırılması yönünde örnek olabilecek niteliktedir.

Abstract

Urban agriculture has been an important issue throughout the history as an economic and leisure time effort. Also urban agriculture has played an important role in increasing the quality of urban life in ecological terms by contributing to the urban green space system. Historical Yedikule Gardens was chosen as a study area in order to embody these important roles of urban agriculture on an example and incorporate it in today's experience. The study area has history of 1500 years in the borders of Istanbul Fatih District. This area is considered as one of the most basic examples of urban agriculture. People have been producing and selling vegetables and fruits in this area for hundreds of years. With this work, it was aimed to reorganize Historical Yedikule Farmland to increase the contribution of the area to the texture of the urban green area with its renewed landscape and to provide economic gain and hobby area to the city people while maintaining a past culture. In this context, the landscape design project of the study area was carried out within the scope of historical environmental protection and urban agriculture area regulation principles. In the result of the work it is seen that the area renewed as historical, cultural and economic values will be contribution to the users of and the city.
