The Use of Plants That Stand Out with Their Odor in the Design of Disabled People (A Case of Ankara)

Abstract

Aesthetic and functional uses of plants are of great importance in landscaping. However, in most designs, aesthetics come to the fore. This situation prevents some very important characteristics of plants from coming to the fore. One of the most important and impressive characteristics of plants is their smell. Especially in outdoor designs for visually impaired people, it is important to use plants that stand out with their odor properties. In this study, a literature review on plants with odor characteristics was first conducted and evaluated. A total of 97 plant taxa were identified from important open and green areas within the borders of Ankara province, which are naturally distributed or used in designs as exotic/foreign taxa. In terms of landscape design, especially after providing all the necessary physical conditions for the visually impaired, the elements to be considered in the plant designs to be made with these plants are explained.
