Yeşil Mutabakat Çerçevesinde Kentsel Yeşil Alanların Yeşil Altyapı Sistemine Entegrasyonu: Antalya-Konyaaltı Örneği

Abstract

Avrupa Yeşil Mutabakatı (A European Green Deal), iklim ve çevreyle ilgili zorluklarla mücadele için kararlı adımlar atılmasını sağlamak üzere 2019 yılında çağrıya çıkan kapsamlı bir büyüme stratejisidir. Bu stratejinin, ekosistem ve biyoçeşitliliği korumak, geliştirmek, sürdürülebilir ve akıllı hareketliliği sağlamak ana başlıkları, yeşil altyapı sistemlerinin temel çıktıları olarak çalışmanın çerçevesini oluşturmaktadır. Yeşil altyapı sistemi, kentsel alanda ekolojik ve sosyal faydaları birleştirmesi yanında eksik olan ekosistem hizmetlerini de sağlama potansiyeline sahiptir. Ancak birçok kent birbirinden bağımsız yeşil alana sahip olmasına rağmen, bağlantıların planlanmamış olmasından dolayı yeşil altyapı sisteminin faydalarından yararlanamamaktadır. Bu çalışma, kentsel yeşil alanları, yeşil altyapı sistemine entegre ederek bütünleşik bir ekolojik ağ sistemi önermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda, Antalya ili Konyaaltı bölgesi özelinde uzaktan algılama ve coğrafi bilgi sistemleri kullanılarak uydu görüntüleri yardımıyla kentsel yeşil alanlar belirlenmiştir. Ardından yeşil alanlar, peyzajların yapısal ve işlevsel devamlılığı sağlamak üzere, yeşil altyapı sisteminin bağlantı elemanları olan akarsu ve karayolları vasıtasıyla birleştirilerek ekolojik koridorlar oluşturulmuştur. Son olarak, oluşturulan yeşil altyapı sisteminin kent bütününe hizmet edebilmesi açısından, potansiyel ekolojik koridor önerileri sunulmuştur. Bu çalışma, sürekli büyüyen ve genişleyen kentlerde, yeşil alanların ekolojik koridorlar ile birbirine bağlanarak yeşil altyapı sistemlerinin oluşturulmasına ve geliştirilmesine dair örnek oluşturmakta, kentsel planlama stratejilerinde biyolojik çeşitliliğin korunmasına katkı sağlayacak model sunmaktadır.

Integration of Urban Green Lands into Green Infrastructure System in the Framework of European Green Deal: The Case Study of Konyaaltı-Antalya, Turkey

Abstract

A European Green Deal is a comprehensive growth strategy called for in 2019 to ensure decisive action to tackle climate and environmental challenges. The main topics of this strategy are to protect ecosystem services and biodiversity, to ensure sustainable and smart mobility. These main headings are the main outputs of green infrastructure systems and these outputs form the framework of the study. Green infrastructure system has the potential to provide missing ecosystem services in many urban areas, as well as combining ecological and social benefits. However, although many cities have independent green spaces, they cannot benefit from the advantages of the green infrastructure system due to the unplanned ecological connections. This study aims to propose a holistic ecological network system by integrating urban green lands into the green infrastructure system. In this context, urban green areas were determined by using remote sensing and geographical information systems with the help of satellite images in Konyaaltı, Antalya/Turkey. Then, in order to ensure the structural and functional continuity of the landscapes, ecological corridors were created by combining green lands with rivers and highways which are the connecting elements of the green infrastructure system. Finally, potential ecological corridor suggestions are presented in order for the established green infrastructure system to serve the whole city. This study is an example of the establishment and development of green infrastructure systems by connecting green lands with ecological corridors in constantly growing and expanding cities and provides a model that will contribute to the protection of biodiversity in urban planning strategies.
