Material and Methods: Within the scope of the study, the traditional street texture in the Kilis urban protected area was examined. In the study, the protected area with an area of 720 decares was divided into four regions. A total of 40 streets were examined and on-site identification and analysis were made, and plant species and usage areas in the historical texture were determined. Results: At the end of the study, a total of 18 different species were identified, including 9 trees, 4 shrubs and 5 climbers. In terms of usage rates, the most commonly used species were 44.15% (Vitis vinifera), 12.98% (Morus alba), 9.09% Parthenocissus quinquefolia and 6.49% Campsis radicans. Conclusion: In line with the findings obtained, it was emphasized that the historical texture should be handled and protected as a whole by determining the existing plant species.}, number={2}, publisher={Ege Üniversitesi}
