Abstract:

 Objective: The study examines the identification and use of plant materials in the streets in Kilis urban protected area. Material and Methods: Within the scope of the study, the traditional street texture in the Kilis urban protected area was examined. In the study, the protected area with an area of 720 decares was divided into four regions. A total of 40 streets were examined and on-site identification and analysis were made, and plant species and usage areas in the historical texture were determined. Results: At the end of the study, a total of 18 different species were identified, including 9 trees, 4 shrubs and 5 climbers. In terms of usage rates, the most commonly used species were 44.15 Vitis vinifera, 12.98 Morus alba, 9.09 Parthenocissus quinquefolia and 6.49 Campsis radicans. Conclusion: In line with the findings obtained, it was emphasized that the historical texture should be handled and protected as a whole by determining the existing plant species.

 Amaç: Çalışmada Kilis kentsel sit alanında sokaklarda yer alan bitkisel materyallerin tespiti ve kullanımı incelenmektedir. Materyal ve Yöntem: Çalışma kapsamında Kilis kentsel sit alanındaki geleneksel sokak dokusu incelenmiştir. 720 dönüm alana sahip kentsel sit alanı dört bölgeye ayrılmıştır. Toplam 40 cadde incelenerek yerinde tespit ve analizler yapılarak tarihi dokudaki bitki türleri ve kullanım alanları belirlenmiştir. Araştırma Bulguları: Çalışma sonucunda 9u ağaç, 4ü çalı, 5i sarılıcı ve tırmanıcı olmak üzere toplam 18 farklı tür tespit edilmiştir. Kullanım oranlarına bakıldığında ise en çok kullanılan türler 44.15 Vitis vinifera, 12.98 Morus alba 9.09 Parthenocissus quinquefolia ve 6.49 Campsis radicans olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda mevcut bitki türlerinin tespit edilerek tarihi dokunun bir bütün olarak ele alınması ve korunması gerektiği vurgulanmıştır.
