Ekosistem hizmetleri kapasitesini değerlendirmede EUNIS habitat sınıflandırmasının kullanımı: Mamak ilçesi örneği (Ankara, Türkiye)

Öz

Amaç: Ekosistem hizmetleri (EH) terimi, yeryüzündeki ekosistemlerin insan ve diğer canlılara sağladığı ürün, hizmet ve faydaların tümü olarak tanımlanmaktadır. EH kapasitesinin belirlenmesi ve bu tür verilerin yönetim planlarına entegre edilmesi, doğanın korunması ve sürdürülebilir arazi kullanım planlaması için kilit bir unsurdur. Bu çalışmada, EUNIS habitat verileri kullanılarak uzman görüşlerine dayalı değerlendirme yaklaşımı ile Mamak ilçesinin (Ankara, Türkiye) EH kapasitesinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Materyal ve Yöntem: Uzman görüşlerine dayalı değerlendirme yaklaşımı ile uzmanlardan alınan ham puanların yanı sıra her bir EUNIS habitat tipi için alansal EH kapasite (AESC) indeksleri hesaplanmış ve buna göre haritalar geliştirilmiştir. Araştırma Bulguları: Sonuçlar göstermiştir ki; (1) ham puanlarla, habitat tiplerinin EH kapasiteleri her EH tipi için çok farklı iken, (2) AESC indeksleriyle, hemen hemen tüm EH kapasite sınıfları her habitat tipi için aynıdır. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak bu çalışma, EUNIS habitat haritalarının kullanımının, EUNIS habitat verilerinin mevcut olması durumunda ve bu tip çalışmalarda EH kapasitelerini değerlendirmek için uygulanabilir olduğunu göstermektedir.

The use of EUNIS habitat classification to assess ecosystem services capacity: the case of Mamak district (Ankara, Türkiye)

Abstract

Objective: The ecosystem services (ES) term is defined as all of the products, services, and benefits provided by ecosystems on earth to human beings and other living entities. In order to determine the ES capacity and integrating such data into management plans is a key element for nature conservation and sustainable land-use planning. Hence, a study was conducted, and the objective of this study was to determine the ES capacity of Mamak district (Ankara, Turkey) with an evaluation approach based on expert opinions using EUNIS habitat data. Material and Methods: Besides raw scores obtained from experts with the evaluation approach based on expert opinions, the areal ES capacity (AESC) indices for each EUNIS habitat type were calculated, and maps were developed accordingly. Results: The results obtained from this study showed that; (1) with raw scores, ES capacities of habitat types are very diverse for each ES type, (2) with AESC indices, almost all ES capacity class are same for each habitat type. Conclusion: As a conclusion, it can be stated that the use of EUNIS habitat maps is applicable to assess ES capacities in such studies if and when the presence of such habitat data.
