Abstract:

 This study was carried out to determine the landscape character types of Niğde province and to contribute these characteristics to landscape planning studies. Within the scope of the method, the basic landscape components of climate, geomorphology, geology and land cover were used and the Landscape Character Analysis of Niğde Province was carried out by overlapping these four parameters. The study results show that there are 690 different landscape character types based on the structural characteristics of the Niğde landscape. The purpose of obtaining landscape character types is to develop landscape protection, development and management strategies specific to character types in landscape planning studies. For this purpose, in future studies, the detailed landscape character types obtained can be reclassified into similar clusters by grouping their similar ecological units. Thus, similar landscape protection, development and management strategies can be developed for clusters containing similar ecological units. This study is thought to contribute to the spatial planning process by relevant public institutions, organisations, and local administrations.

 Bu çalışma, Niğde ilinin peyzaj karakter tiplerini belirlemek ve bu karakteristik özelliklerinin peyzaj planlama çalışmalarına katkıda bulunması amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntem kapsamında iklim, jeomorfoloji, jeoloji ve arazi örtüsü olmak üzere dört temel peyzaj bileşenleri kullanılmış ve bu dört parametrenin çakıştırılmasıyla elde edilen Niğde İli Peyzaj Karakter Analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları, Niğde peyzajının yapısal özelliklerine dayalı 690 adet farklı peyzaj karakter tipi olduğunu göstermektedir. Peyzaj karakter tiplerinin elde edilmesinde amaç, peyzaj planlama çalışmalarında karakter tiplerine özgü peyzaj koruma, gelişim ve yönetim stratejilerinin geliştirilebilmesidir. Bu amaçla, gelecek çalışmalarda, elde edilen ayrıntılı peyzaj karakter tipleri, sahip oldukları benzer ekolojik birimlerin gruplandırılmasıyla benzer kümeler halinde yeniden bütüncül biçimde sınıflandırılabilir. Böylece, benzer ekolojik birimleri barındıran kümeler için benzer peyzaj koruma, gelişim ve yönetim stratejileri geliştirilebilecektir. Bu çalışmanın, ilgili kamu kurum ve kuruluşları ile yerel yönetimler tarafından gerçekleştirilecek mekânsal planlama sürecine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
