Ecological Approaches To Urban Planning and The Example of Konya City Greenbelt

Abstract

Planning can be described as “using scientific and technical knowledge for determining alternatives that will ena-ble to decide”. As for ecological planning is a planning approach that gets principle meeting the needs of society by not damaging the balance of natural ecosystems. In the context of this approach, open and green area systems emerge as important inputs especially on the level of space planning. Greenbelt, which is an important component of urban open and green area system and used in a lot of country in urban and regional scale –especially in England, Germany and Austria- is an important planning tool. Greenbelt was constituted to obtain cheap and abundant food and decrease the effect of epidemic deseases in England firstly. As for XVII. Century, Ledoux first planned first greenbelt city in France. With developing of landscape planning and landscape ecology disciplines, the concept of greenbelt has been changed from its first days till today. The greenbelt concept that its boundaries has been determined with political worries has changed today. Today greenbelt is a planning approach; - that consider the eceolgical and social properties, - of which boundaries and form is determined with natural characteristics, - that analyze the transition from urban to rural area, - that is considered as an element for reaching inner city by uniting with greenways, - whichis more flexible and surrounding the city by uniting with other green areas. The first greenbelt works in Konya started with a project which was made in 1981. “Konya Greenbelt Project” was made for meeting the green area need around city, by Konya Directory of Forestery. The Project was made for the purposes of; preventing the unsystematic development of the city, providing the healty urban development which is harmonious with nature, preventing air and environmental pollution, restorating the nature that has been worn out, meeting the recreational needs of people and increasing the tourism potential of the site. The project covers 28390 ha area but until today 3213 ha area has been forested.
