Abstract

Botanik bahçeler bitki türlerini koruma altına alan, kullanıcıları doğayla buluşturan, çeşitli eğitim alanları oluşturan laboratuvar görevi üstlenen alanlar olmasının yanı sıra kent halkı için en önemli açık-yeşil alanlardan birini oluşturmaktadır. Kentsel açık-yeşil alanlar kent içerisinde birçok farklı fonksiyonlarda kullanılabilmektedir. Kentlerde bulunan açık-yeşil alanlar olası afet sonrasında insanların güvende hissettikleri mekânların başında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada Erzurum kentinin önemli yeşil alanlarından birisi olan Ata Botanik Bahçesinin afet sonrası için toplanma ve geçici barınma alanı olma potansiyeli araştırılmak amacıyla 136 kişi ile bir anket çalışması yürütülmüştür. Katılımcıların çoğunluk olarak kentte bahçesiz toplu konutlarda yaşadıkları (%43,4), yaşadıkları yerde kendilerini güvende hissetmedikleri (%47,8) ve fırsatları olsa daha güvenli yerlerde yaşamak istedikleri (%52,9) ortaya çıkmıştır. Olası bir afet sonrasında botanik bahçenin toplanma alanı potansiyelinin yüksek olduğu (%71,6) bununla beraber alanın mevcut hali ile afet sonrası kullanım için yeterli olmadığı (%28) sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Alanın bu amaçla da kullanılmasına yönelik bazı önerilere yer verilmiştir.

DETERMINATION OF USER PREFERENCES FOR THE POTENTIAL USE OF ATA BOTANICAL GARDEN AS A POST-DISASTER ASSEMBLY AREA

Abstract

Botanical gardens not only serve as areas that protect plant species, connect users with nature, and function as educational spaces, but also act as essential green spaces for urban populations. Urban green spaces can be utilized for a variety of purposes within the city. Among these functions, one of the most crucial is their role as places where people feel safe following potential disasters. In this study, a survey was conducted with 136 participants to investigate the potential of the Ata Botanical Garden, one of the significant green spaces in Erzurum, as an assembly and temporary shelter area after a disaster. The results revealed that the majority of participants live in apartment complexes without gardens (43.4%), do not feel safe where they currently reside (47.8%), and would prefer to live in safer places if given the opportunity (52.9%). It was found that the botanical garden has a high potential as an assembly area after a potential disaster (71.6%); however, in its current state, the garden is insufficient for post-disaster use (28%). Several recommendations were made to adapt the area for such purposes.
