Ekosistem servisleri, insanların doğal veya tasarlanmış alanlardan doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak elde ettikleri fayda ve ürünler olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Kentsel yeşil alt yapıların çevresel ve sosyal birçok faydası vardır. Kentsel yeşil altyapıların önemli bir parçası olan kent ormanları, kent çevrelerinin homojenliğini kıran, kentin estetiğine katkı sağlayan, kentlerin yeşil dokusunu güçlendiren, kente ve kentlilere rekreasyonel açıdan aktivite alanları sunan ve kent sakinlerine fiziksel ve ruhsal açıdan birçok ekosistem servisi sağlayan aktif yeşil alanlardır.
Bu çalışmada, Artvin kentine ve kent sakinlerine geniş bir yelpazede ekosistem servisi sağlayan Kafkasör Kent Ormanı çalışma alanı olarak seçilmiş ve kent ormanının sağladığı ekosistem servislerinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Kafkasör Kent Ormanı’nın kaynak sağlayan (gıda, dekoratif kaynaklar, biyolojik hammadde, biyokimyasal ve tıbbi ürünler), düzenleyici (hava kalitesini düzenleme, iklim düzenleme su akışı ve erozyon kontrolü, polenleme), destekleyici (fotosentez, besin ve su döngüsünü destekleme) ve kültürel ekosistem servisleri (eğitim, bilgi sistemi, ilhan, estetik değerler, sosyal ilişkiler, yer ve mekan hissi, rekreasyon-ekoturizm, sağlık, ekonomi, doğayla bağlantı, duyusal deneyimler) açısından birçok servisi sunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada kültürel ekosistem servisleri bağlamında görülen bazı eksikliklerin giderilmesine yönelik önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
Ekosistem servislerinin sürekliliğinin sağlanması ve insanların bu servislerden en iyi şekilde faydalanabilmesi için alanlara ilişkin doğru stratejilerin belirlenmesi ve planlamaların bu doğrultuda yapılması önem arz etmektedir.
