Dirençli Kentler Oluşturmada Yeşil Altyapı Uygulamalarının Önemi: Barselona ve İzmir Örneklerinin Karşılaştırılması

Öz

Son yıllarda iklim değişikliği ve küresel çevre krizleri daha ciddi boyutlara ulaşmaktadır. Bu olumsuzluklarla beraber kentlerin sosyal, ekonomik ve mekânsal yapılarındaki bozulmalar meydana gelmektedir. Kentlerde yaşanan bu sorunların çözümü noktasında dirençlilik kavramını ön plana çıkarmaktadır Dirençli kentlerin oluşturulması noktasında yapılan ve yapılacak çalışmaların önemini artmaktadır. Dirençli bir şehir oluşturmada çeşitli faktörler ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bunlardan birisi de yeşil altyapı uygulamasıdır. Bu çalışmada, dünyada ve Türkiye’de yeşil altyapı uygulamasının başaralı bir şekilde uygulandığı Barselona ve İzmir modelleri incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın temel sorusu Barselona ve İzmir’de uygulanan yeşil altyapı modelleri incelendiğinde iki model arasındaki benzerlikler ve farklılıkların neler olduğudur. Araştırmada karşılaştırmalı analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; İki kentin de iklim değişikliğine uyum, sağlıklı yaşam, su yönetimi, küresel ısınmanın önlenmesi ve biyoçeşitliliğin korunması noktasında yeşil altyapı stratejileri geliştirdiği ve geliştirmeye devam ettiği görülmüştür. Ancak Barselona'nın yeşil altyapı projelerinde sahip olduğu daha geniş bütçe ve ileri teknolojik imkanlar, uygulama olanağını güçlendirirken; İzmir’in, proje bazında yeterli durumda olmasına karşın uygulamaya geçme noktasında bazı altyapı ve mevzuat sorunları yaşadığı tespit edilmiştir.

THE IMPORTANCE OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PRACTICES IN BUILDING RESILIENT CITIES: COMPARISON OF BARCELONA AND İZMİR CASES

Abstract

In recent years, climate change and global environmental crises have reached more serious dimensions. Along with these negativities, deterioration in the social, economic and spatial structures of cities occurs. At the point of solving these problems experienced in cities, the concept of resilience comes to the fore. The importance of the studies carried out and to be carried out at the point of creating resilient cities increases. Various factors come to the fore in creating a resilient city. One of them is the green infrastructure application. In this study, the models of Barcelona and Izmir, where green infrastructure is successfully implemented in the world and in Turkey, are analysed. The main question of the research is what are the similarities and differences between the two models when the green infrastructure models applied in Barcelona and Izmir are examined. Comparative analysis method was used in the research. As a result of the research; it has been observed that both cities have developed and continue to develop green infrastructure strategies in terms of adaptation to climate change, healthy living, water management, prevention of global warming and protection of biodiversity. However, while Barcelona's larger budget and advanced technological facilities in green infrastructure projects strengthened the possibility of implementation, it was determined that Izmir, although it is sufficient on the basis of projects, has some infrastructure and legislative problems at the point of implementation.
