Abstract

Objective: Within the scope of this study, the spatial use changes of a university campus has been researched.

Material and Methods: Ege University Campus, which has an important place in the world, has been investigated over a period of 10 years by using orthophoto images of 2002, 2006 and 2011. In addition, analyzes were conducted for each year to determine the dominant usage types observed in research subareas.

Results: As a result, it has been seen that the agricultural and green open space character that can be perceived in early years has changed because of the new manmade constructions on these land types. Also it has been concluded that in the entire research area, the manmade areas were the most dominant land use type in the three examined years. Also the dominancy of agriculture, vegetation and no – vegetation areas decreased between the years 2002 and 2011.

Conclusion: In the light of the data obtained, general suggestions were given to give positive direction to the campus change. Also a proposed dominancy plan developed to increase the vegetation areas’ dominancy overall the campus and to manage a green belt that surround the whole campus.

Yeşil Yapıda Sürdürülebilirlik: Ege Üniversitesi Yerleşkesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma kapsamında bir üniversite yerleşkesinde gözlenen alan kullanım değişimleri analiz edilmiştir.

Materyal ve Yöntem: Ege Üniversitesi Yerleşkesinde 10 yıl boyunca gözlenen alan kullanımındaki değişimler, 2002, 2006 ve 2011 yıllarına ait ortofoto görüntüleri kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Ayrıca araştırma alt alanlarında gözlenen baskın alan kullanım tipleri belirlenmiştir.

Bulgular: Çalışma kapsamında, ilk yıllarda saptanan tarımsal ve yeşil açık alan karakterinin, bu arazi tipleri üzerindeki yeni insan yapımı yapılar nedeniyle değiştiği görülmüştür. Ayrıca tüm araştırma alanında, yapay alanların incelenen üç yılda en baskın arazi kullanım türü olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca, 2002 ve 2011 yılları arasında tarımın, bitki örtüsünün ve bitki örtüsü olmayan alanların baskınlığı azalmıştır.

Sonuç: Elde edilen veriler ışığında, kampüs değişimini olumlu yönde yönlendirmek için genel önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Ayrıca bitki örtüsü alanlarının kampüs genelindeki baskınlığını artırmak ve tüm kampüsü çevreleyen yeşil bir kuşağı yönetmek için önerilen bir baskınlık planı geliştirilmiştir.
