Determination of Use of Some Natural Plant Species in Vertical Garden Systems in İzmir Region
Öz
Migration to urban areas in the world triggers the urban population, construction and use of natural resources. This situation negatively affects the urban biodiversity, the sustainability of the city and the ecology of the city. Especially with the increase in construction, urban open-green areas and natural vegetation, which are important assets of the city, are adversely affected. This study aimed to quantitatively determine the availability of native plant species in vertical garden systems, which are a good alternative for urban open-green spaces. The city of Izmir, one of the important metropolitan cities of Turkey, was chosen as the study area. With the literature review, species that naturally grow in the Izmir region and suitable for use in landscape studies have been determined. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Ranking of Preferences According to Ideal Similarity (TOPSIS) methods, which are multi-criteria decision-making methods, were used to determine the type that can be used in vertical garden systems among these determined species. In the AHP method, the selection criteria were determined and the consistency analysis was performed by calculating the criteria weights. After the AHP method, the TOPSIS method was applied and the species were ranked starting from the most suitable. As a result, Lavandula stoechas L. was quantitatively determined as the most suitable species for use in vertical garden systems.
