The Effect of Structural Density on Wind Speed in Urban Landscape Planning and Design; A Case Study of Duzce
Öz
Continuing throughout the history, one of the most important purposes of planning and design has been the enhancement of human comfort. Considering the needs of the environment as well as the demands of human beings, nature-friendly planning and design approach has developed and sustainable environmental studies have emerged. In this study, it is aimed to develop landscape planning and design proposals suitable for this comfort area by determining the extent to which the wind affects the human comfort level. In this context, in order to determine the basis of the relationship between urban landscape planning and wind Düzce City was chosen as the material. Local wind measurements were made with portable meteorology stations (Vantage Pro2) in the city area and statistical
meanings were revealed by comparing with the simultaneous data obtained from Düzce Provincial Directorate of Meteorology. Basically, the hypotheses that "The mass-space (structural density) ratios of the city change the wind speed" were questioned. As a result; it was observed that the mass-gap ratios in the neighborhoods were inversely
proportional to the wind speed. The results of the study will once again bring to the importance of the decisions taken at the planning stage while forming the cities.
