| Goals | Students will be given the concepts related to urban open and green spaces and the functions of urban open and green spaces. The relationships of open and green spaces in the urban environment with the built environment will be examined. Urban systems and the factors affecting the formation of these systems will be explained. Green space systems and system elements to be created in and around the city in line with the ecological, archaeological, historical, cultural and man-made characteristics of the city will be taught. |
| Course Content | Students will learn the basic concepts of open and green space and ecological environmental values of urban ecosystem. They will learn strategies and new methodological approaches to urban green space systems. The legal situation related to open and green spaces will be evaluated. In the application studies within the scope of the course, the relations of urban uses in the man-made environment with each other and with open and green spaces will be interpreted. Cultural and natural data will be evaluated together with scientific data about socially necessary living spaces in densely built urban areas and their distribution, accessibility and system searches in the city. |
