Humanity have always felt the need to alter the environment they inhabit. In our modern era, this desire continues to exhibit itself in more urban landscapes. As a microcosm of the cityscape, university campuses contribute many cultural and economic advantages to the urban population. Moreover they bring under control to the urban growth and generally provides open and green spaces to the city. In this paper, Düzce University Konuralp Campus, located north of the Düzce City, was considered as our study area. Here we describe the Konuralp campus design which was developed in "Duzce University Konuralp Campus Development Plan Urban Design Competition". The method of the study consist of three steps. Some analyses like location, topography (ecological wind corridors and the meeting point of the valleys), spatial zoning, design axes and circulation were performed at the first step. In the second step it has been tried to specify how to apply the steps for designing kind of these campus projects. The concept of the design was created and constructed for the project. In the last step the design was visualized with 3D aplications and presented here. The aim of the study is how to design a campus which is sustainable and accessible. Consequently, the campus design was realized which had some design principles based on pedestrian priority. Educational buildings were separated from social buildings, sports center and cultural centers by using a-pedestrian walkways. In the middle of the working area campus square was designed which contains some land uses such as ceremony area, student center, amphitheatre and library. Finally a sustainable and accessible campus design was developed for Duzce University.

COVID-19 pandemisi kentsel açık ve yeşil alanların önemini yeniden tartışmaya açmıştır. Karbon emisyonunu azaltmak için önerilen kompakt yapılaşma politikalarının, pandemi sonrası dönemin sosyal mesafe ihtiyacı ile çelişerek yoğunluk konusunda bir ikileme yol açtığı görülmektedir. Pandemi sürecinde ortaya çıkan sosyal izolasyon ihtiyacı ve kentsel açık yeşil alanların azlığı, kentlileri evlerinde hapsolmaya itmiştir. Buna karşın daha fazla açık yeşil alana sahip kentler, insanların birbiriyle daha az etkileştiği alanlar yaratarak kentlilere hareket imkânı sağlamıştır. Bu bağlamda pandemi sonrası dönemde kentsel yeşil alan standartlarının yeniden düşünmek daha sağlıklı kentler tasarlanması için bir ihtiyaçtır. Yapılan çalışma, kentlerde ihtiyaç duyulan açık ve yeşil alan miktarlarını hesaplamaya yönelik hipotetik bir model üzerinden pandemi sonrası dönemde kişi başına düşen kentsel yeşil alan ihtiyacını incelemektedir. "Pandemi Sonrası Yeşil Alanlar" (PS-YA) olarak isimlendirilen model; kişisel sosyal mesafe, gruplar arası istenen mesafe ve yeşil alan kullanım sıklığı dikkate alınarak matematiksel olarak formüle edilmiştir. Yapılan çalışma kapsamında, pandemi sonrası dönemde kişi başına düşen optimum kentsel yeşil alan ihtiyacının belirlenmesi için ileride yapılacak araştırmalara bilimsel altlık oluşturması ve kentsel yeşil alan standartlarının iyileştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Türkiye nüfusunun hızla yaşlanıyor olması gelecekte yaşlı nüfusun ihtiyaçlarının da artacağını göstermektedir. Özellikle kentsel alanda yaşlı bakım hizmetlerinin sağlanacağı huzurevleri ve huzurevlerinin dış mekanları yaşlıların yaşam kalitesini yükseltmek açısından oldukça önem taşımaktadır. Bu kapsamda, özellikle peyzaj mimarları dış mekan tasarımına yönelik öneri geliştirirken yaşlıların fiziksel, zihinsel ve sosyal ihtiyaçları ile bireysel farklılıklarını da dikkate almaları gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada Düzce Valiliği Huzurevi Müdürlüğü'nün çevre düzenleme projesinin tasarım kriterleri ve süreci hakkında bilgi verilmiş ve daha sonra yapılacak projeler için yol göstermek hedeflenmiştir. Huzurevi çevre düzenleme projesi için geliştirilen başlıca kullanımlar arasında; otopark, süs havuzu, teras, çok amaçlı sert zemin, çok amaçlı çim alan, sebze tarhları ve sebze tarhları için bir depo bulunmaktadır. Araştırma yöntemi olarak tanımlayıcı örnek alan çalışmasına başvurulmuş ve sonuç olarak projenin kısıtları belirtilmiş ve çeşitli öneriler geliştirilmiştir.

Considering the formation of civilizations historically, it is known that waterfront, which is the most important natural resource in the sustainability of life, has preferred. In today's cities, streams and valleys still maintain their importance both ecologically and by offering recreational opportunities. By virtue of their topographic structure, the valleys exhibit a different climate structure than the other areas in the cities. Although the corridors are breathable corridors of the city, they also provide flora and fauna diversity due to the differences in topographic structure. They are also part of a large hydrological structure and have an important role to play in the hydrological cycle. Streams are sensitive ecosystems due to their structure and are important linear lines for connectedness. In spite of streams and valleys are sensitive areas against interference, they have positive effects on the physical and mental health of the users when they are used correctly in terms of recreation. Within the scope of the study, a landscape design proposal was studied in the Zindan Stream of the Muratdede District of Denizli Province. In addition, SWOT analysis was carried out; visual, natural and cultural environment analysis were made for the area. With this study, an exemplary project design process has been developed for the regions that natural structure is preserved, the green infrastructure of the city is supported and the areas that have gained the character of an alternative recreation area in the stream and valley areas.

The understanding of the long-term, nature-friendly planning and design of the environment is seen as an important factor in sustainable environmental studies. This study was influenced by the idea of ​​how wind, which is one of the important climatic elements, can be used and directed effectively to shape the landscape planning and design studies in cities by examining it in terms of direction and speed. In this study, Düzce City was chosen as a material, local wind measurements were used in the city and it was statistically compared with the simultaneous data obtained from the Provincial Directorate of Meteorology. The hypothesis of "the landscape characteristics (Open area/Corridor/Building) affect the wind circulation" was questioned. Wind measurements obtained from various sampling locations across the city as well as the meteorological data and urban plans were used as main study materials; Vantage Pro2 meteorological stations and ArcGIS software were also included as auxiliary materials. As a result, it has been determined which areas and axes are convenient for the planning and design criteria in terms of wind direction and speed, and in which seasons they have the densest and least circulation characteristics in Düzce City. The results of the study are important in terms of containing information on how the wind affects the planning and design decisions in the process of creating cities.
