ÖZET ekreasyon, modern toplum bireylerinin günlük yaşam stresinden ve rutinlerinden, yapılı çevre baskısından uzaklaşmak, doğa ile bağ kurmak ya da eğlenmek ve dinlenmek için maddi kazanım amacı güdülmeden gerçekleştirilen aktivitelerin bütünüdür. Bireylerin rekreasyonel tercih ve eğilimleri, bireylerin sosyo-demografik özellikleri ve yaşadıkları çevrede bulunan rekreasyonel alan özelliklerine bağlı olarak değişim göstermektedir. Bu araştırmada, aldıkları bölüm eğitiminin içeriği gereği konu hakkında farkındalık düzeyleri yüksek olma potansiyeline sahip oldukları düşünülerek Ege Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Peyzaj Mimarlığı öğrencilerinin rekreasyonel eğilimleri; gerçekleştirdikleri aktivite çeşitleri ve aktivitelere katılım sıklıkları, rekreasyonel alan özellikleriyle ilgili motive edici ve kısıtlayıcı faktörler temelinde belirlenmiştir. Bu amaçla 138 öğrenci ile yüz yüze görüşmeler şeklinde anket uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiş, anketlerin analizleri sonucu elde elden verilere göre; katılımcıların rekreasyonel eğilimlerinin cinsiyet, öğrenim gördükleri sınıf, gelir düzeyi ve İzmir ilinde bulunma sürelerine bağlı olarak istatistiki açıdan anlamlı farklılıklar gösterdiği saptanmıştır.ABSTRACT ecreation is the whole of activities of modern society's individuals that are aimed at getting away from the pressures of the built environment, stress and routines of daily life, linking nature or just for enjoyment. Recreational preferences and trends vary depending on the socio-demographic characteristics of the individual and the recreational area characteristics of the surrounding environment. The recreational tendencies of students of Landscape Architecture students of Ege University, Faculty of Agriculture, given that they have the potential to have a high level of awareness about the subject, types of recreational activities they perform and the frequency of participation in those activities are determined on the basis of motivating and restrictive factors related to recreational area characteristics within this study. For this purpose, a face-to-face interview was conducted with 138 students and the analyzes of the questionnaires resulted that the recreational tendencies of the participants showed statistically significant differences depending on gender, grade of education, income level and duration of stay in city of İzmir. GİRİŞRekreasyon, bireylerin beğenisi bakımından doyurucu, ruhsal ve bedensel yenilenme amacı taşıyan, aynı zamanda bireyin sosyal, kültürel, ekonomik ve fizyolojik olanakları ile bağımlı boş zaman kullanımlarını içeren, niceliğini yaş, cinsiyet, iş, maddi durum ve sosyal konum gibi faktörlerin belirlediği eylem ya da eylemler olarak tanımlanır
Walking And Cycling Priority Urban DesignTraces of the reclaim of the streets from car dominance were examined and the steps leading to a low carbon living were investigated. Five principles were developed upon this living mode at the neighborhood scale. Having strong social bond in itself, the neighborhood scale is appropriate for implementing these principles.According to the method, the theoretical structure of the study was evaluated, then applied projects were examined, and thus an awareness questionnaire on "low carbon living" was applied with cyclists representing low carbon transportation. This study of "low carbon living awareness" is the first academic study in Turkey case.According to the survey results, cyclists' awareness of low carbon living is promising. In particular, awareness of low carbon transportation is high. İzmir has potential in terms of low carbon living. In general, there is a certain awareness about degree and walking and cycling priority urban design. All of this forms the basis for the formation of low carbon neighborhoods.
The rapid rise in population in cities causes ecological, psychological, sociological, and also economic problems. The increasing of urbanization has a negative impact on the natural and cultural landscape, in the progress of time; unhealthy environmental consequences have occurred. Especially, due to the rapid transportation, carbon level has increased and urban and rural areas started to transform negatively. Automobiles have dominated cities, and also; neighborhoods and streets began to fragment, so this situation resulted in adverse effects on citizens and the natural environment. In the scope of this study, low carbon transportation systems, low carbon life are scrutinized, and then case studies in the world are researched and finally, Izmir’s streets and World’s streets are compared to each other. As a result of the study, criteria on low carbon cities are determined. As one-third of carbon emissions are produced by transportation sector, it is important to consider sustainable transportation for urban design. In consequence, not only does it improve the air quality, but it also helps people to be healthier, owing to existence of active transportation. In this paper, there is a comparison between Izmir, Barcelona and Amsterdam. Izmir as the third populated city in Turkey is considered in this study and its municipality has proposed public transportation in place of private cars. Moreover, people are encouraged to use public transportation since it has a sufficient network all over the city. However, active transport is not paid enough attention. Cycling dedicated lanes are designed in different tourist areas such as Konak, Bostanlı and Karşıyaka Pier. However, there is not a holistic approach for this mode of transportation. As there is not dedicated cycling lanes, citizens do not feel safe enough to cycle on the normal streets. In consequence, they tend not to use is more frequently as an available transport option. On the other hand, in Amsterdam and Barcelona; cycling is considered as one of popular transportation choice.
The riparian zone plays a crucial role in the development and transformation of cities. This zone dramatically changes cities both ecologically and economically and is one of the cornerstones of the future scenarios of the city. These areas constitute significant emphasis throughout the city by providing wildlife, improving the water quality, reducing flood areas, and creating social activity areas in the city. Besides, it influences land use, transportation, energy efficiency, social life. The riparian zones are one of the most significant components of the cities that mitigate the climate change effects. Because, the existence of water creates microclimatic conditions around the cities and this conserves the heat island effect, greenhouse effect, and also air pollution. The deterioration of the sustainability of this important backbone throughout the city causes an important loss in terms of urban ecosystems. Because it is an important connection of natural life and urban life, and any deterioration causes two important characters to be separated from one another. In this regard, ensuring water management in the city is a crucial issue in terms of urban habitat. In the scope of this study, research was conducted on the contribution of riparian zone to the urban ecosystem and also how the presence of this backbone system in the city transforms the urban areas was discussed.
