Its importance has grown further with the increasing awareness of the rapidly depleting natural resources. Therefore, many official and private legal and natural entities started to view landscaping projects as a matter of prestige, self-expression and branding. Vakfikebir, a city located on the northeast coast of Turkey and one of the largest cities of Trabzon, is one of the cities putting forth efforts in pursuit of this goal. In search for creating opportunities for its residents to spend quality time near River Fol, a river flowing through the city, a landscaping project was commenced in response to the request of the Municipality of Vakfikebir. The most pronounced request of the Municipality was to repurpose this unused area for the use of the residents and create a distinct...

Bu degerlendirmeyi yapmaya iten en onemli nokta, yesil cati gibi kentlerin surdurulebilirliklerine katki yapacak nitelikteki bir yaklasimdan maliyet eksenli kacislar olmasi, buna karsin konutlarda artan su tuketimiyle birlikte artan gri su olusumunun kurulacak sistemlerle enerji ve para tasarrufuna donusturulebilecek olmasidir. Calismanin amaci dogrultusunda; soz konusu sistemleri uygulayan firmalarla iletisime gecilip, ornek bir konut projesi uzerinden imalat maliyetin iliskin bazi sorular sorulmustur. Alinan cevaplar ve daha onceki arastirmalar sonucunda elde edilen veriler tablolar haline getirilerek degerlendirilmistir. Bu veriler dogrultusunda konutlardaki gri su tesisati kurularak yapilan su tasarrufuna iliskin yatirim-kâr hesabi yapilmistir. Hesap sonucunda kurulum maliyetinin ne kadar ...

As a first step, inventory studies and analyses were carried out to determine the cultural and natural values of the area. As the second step, area analyses studies were carried out. Depending on

While they are often service providers for visitors, it is sometimes possible to see that they are just the main reason why the area is visited. This study examines the different approaches of eco-tourists and indigenous people to some important characteristics of the ecotourism areas and it proves how their understanding might be different from each other. To do this, five highland tourism centers in Trabzon city of Turkey were chosen as the research areas. Two different questionnaire forms were given to the eco-tourists and to the indigenous people in the areas to be able to identify their approaches regarding different characteristics of the areas. While only one person was randomly chosen from a group of visitors in the areas so that those who were in the same group might have had same or similar approaches, only ...

Considering the global water reserves, it became imperative to implement measures to protect the anticipated water reserves. The fact that the amount of quality water per capita decreases every day in the world and the increasing competition in water management could be considered among the indicators of the above-mentioned case. In recent years, as the effects of this adversity became increasingly more evident, several sustainable methods were adopted all over the world such as rain gardens and rainwater storage facilities. These sustainable techniques could be observed in many areas, especially in urban centers. In the present study, the area with the highest water collection was determined at Karadeniz Technical University Kanuni Campus and identified as the study area. Precipitation ...

Kentleşme hızındaki bu artışın en önemli sonuçlarından biri de giderek azalan doğal kaynaklar üzerindeki ciddi baskılar hissedilmektedir. Yatay düzlemlerin sahip oldukları ekonomik değerler nedeniyle yeşil alan yaratmak için için fazla pahalı olduğu düşünülen kentler, ciddi yeşil altyapı eksikliği çekmektedirler. Bu pahalılık ayrıca tarımsal alanları kentlerin dışına doğru itmekte ve yer azlığı nedeniyle üreticileri pek çok bitki büyümeyi düzenleyici madde kullanmaya mecbur bırakmaktadır. Tüm bu kimyasalların kullanımının gıda kalitesini etkilediğine dair görüşler oldukça güçlü bir biçimde gündemde yer tutarken, bu maddeler çevre kirliliğine de sebep olmaktadır. Bu maddelerin yarılanma ömürleri uzun olup, toprakta, sebze ve meyveler üzerinde kalmakta ve besin zinciri ile de insana kadar ulaşmaktadır. Yer pahalılığı ve...
