Plant Species Selection for Vertical Garden Systems with Multi-Criteria Decision Making Techniques

Abstract

Vertical gardens are alternative green spaces produced for urban open-green spaces. In this study, the importance of correct plant use is emphasized in order to increase the sustainability of vertical garden systems, which have an important place for urban ecology. Multi-criteria decision making methods were used to determine the right plant. Bornova Metro Station, located in Bornova district of İzmir province, was chosen as a sample application area. The vertical garden application model was determined by SWOT analysis in the sample area. After the SWOT analysis, metal fence systems were determined as the application model, taking into account the environmental conditions, user profiles and application cost. Plant selection criteria were created by taking into account the characteristics of metal-fence systems, Izmir climate norms and expert opinions on the subject. Then, 68 alternative plant species are listed for multi-criteria decision making mechanisms. As a result of multi-criteria decision making methods, ten ideal species used in the sampling area were determined among these plants. Plants determined to start from the most ideal; Trachelospermum jasminoides, Tecomaria carpensis, Hedera helix, Solanum jasminoides, Jasminum officinale, Distictis buccinatoria, Hydrangea petiolaris, Lonicera japonica, Bougainvillea glabra, Vigna caracalla.
