Ecological-Social-Economical Impacts of Vertical Gardens in the Sustainable City Model

Year 2016, Volume: 26 Issue: 3, 430 - 438, 30.09.2016

Abstract

Issues such as utilization of natural resources, environmental problems and global climate change increase the awareness on “green design” in the built environment and give direction to the attempts of creating cities with natural environment. In this context, planting works are done on the facades of the buildings to reduce the negative impacts of urbanization and create a sustainable city model. These practices are called vertical gardens- living walls- green facades. Vertical gardens, which allow growth of various species of plants in the complicated city life, balance urban ecology and enhance the quality of urban life. Strengthening the urban ecosystem and improvement of economic-social balances constitute the essence of a sustainable city model. Vertical garden practices contribute to increasing air quality, reduction of urban heat island affect, increasing energy efficiency, reduction of noise pollution in addition to reduction of stress caused by the urban life by improving city aesthetic and provide new job opportunities in the economy. In this study, it is aimed to determine ecologicaleconomical-social impacts of vertical gardens to create liveable, ideal and healthy environments and to reveal how they contribute to sustainable urban model.

Sürdürülebilir Kent Modelinde Dikey Bahçelerin Ekolojik-Sosyal-Ekonomik Etkileri

Year 2016, Volume: 26 Issue: 3, 430 - 438, 30.09.2016

Abstract

Doğal kaynakların kullanımı, çevre sorunları, küresel iklim değişikliği gibi konular yapılı çevrede “yeşil doku” konusundaki duyarlılığı artırmakta ve doğal ortam koşullarına sahip kentler oluşturma çalışmalarına yön vermektedir. Bu bağlamda hızla gelişen kentleşmenin olumsuz etkilerini azaltmak ve sürdürülebilir kent modeli oluşturmak adına yapı cephelerinde bitkilendirme çalışmaları uygulanmaktadır. Bu uygulamalar dikey bahçeler-yaşayan duvarlar-yeşil cepheler- olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Karmaşık kent yaşamında farklı tür ve sayıdaki bitkilerin doğal olarak yetişeceği dikey bahçeler kent ekolojisini dengelemekte ve kentsel yaşam kalitesini arttırmaktadır. Kent ekosisteminin güçlendirilmesi ve ekonomik-sosyal dengelerin iyileştirilmesi sürdürülebilir kent modellerinin özünün oluşturmaktadır. Dikey bahçe uygulamaları; hava kalitesinin arttırılması, kentsel ısı ada etkisinin azaltılması, enerji verimliliğini arttırması, gürültü kirliliğini azaltmasının yanı sıra kent estetiğine katkı sağlayarak kent yaşamının getirmiş olduğu stresi azaltmakta ve ekonomik anlamda yeni iş olanakları sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, dikey bahçelerin kentlerde yaşanabilir ideal çevreler yaratmak ve sağlıklı ortamlar oluşturmak için ekolojik-ekonomik-sosyal etkilerinin neler olduğu ve sürdürülebilir kent modeline nasıl bir katkı sağlayabileceğinin ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır.
