Abstract

The increasing urbanization and population in
the world combined with changing social needs increase the use of water on one
hand, and they are causing pollution and destruction of water resources with
biologic, chemical and radioactive wastes originating from industry,
agriculture, unplanned\irregular urbanization and urban activities especially
like the wrong land use decisions that are being taken on the other. Thus, the
need for clean water is ever increasing and water has a more strategic
designation day by day. With this study, local and foreign resources related to
water management in the urban planning from the past to the present day were
reviewed. By providing information on the Water Framework Directive of the
European Parliament and Council and the River Basin Management Plans (RBMP)
being prepared in this context, the place of the relation between RBMP and the
lower and upper scale plans; in the planning hierarchy together with the
landscape plan was revealed. In addition, the strategic planning dimension of
the water has been evaluated in terms of occupational discipline of the
landscape architecture and proposals have been made regarding the
sustainability, correct planning, efficient use of the limited water resources,
and resolution of the problems. Sustainable use of water

 

 

resources in urban planning is possible through
a linked green infrastructure system that is to be organized by means of a
holistic approach.

In this context, the green infrastructure
systems of the cities\urban areas provide a very important approach in
protecting water presence and quality in local, regional and global scale. The
use of sustainable urban drainage systems due to the high density of impervious
surfaces in urban areas is crucial for the protection of underground and
surface water resources. In addition, the sustainability of nature and the
sustainability of water resources in urban space planning should also be
ensured through the protection and improvement of streams beds and river basins
in and around the city.
