A Planning Studio Experience in Landscape Architecture Education: Gökçeada Example

Öz The European Landscape Convention describes landscape planning as strong future actions for the development, improvement and creation of landscapes. In parallel to this, it also highlights the necessity to train landscape-related experts and to provide planning education in various educational institutions while stressing the importance of the sustainable planning of landscapes under various headings. Landscape architecture departments, which gave their first graduates in 1973, have since had a landscape planning infrastructure. This infrastructure constitutes an important place in the landscape architecture education process. Almost all landscape architecture departments in Turkey have landscape planning division. Landscape planning is also considered to be a necessary process for the protection and sustainable use of landscapes on a local, regional, territorial, and even global scale. Gökçeada, the largest island in Turkey, is one of the settlements which need sustainable land use decisions with its different natural and cultural landscape features. The island, which is in the process of declaring an organic agricultural center through the support of the Ministry and related provincial agencies while also trying to meet high tourism demands, is under the influence of different sectors in terms of future land use decisions. Thus, Gökçeada was selected as a field of study for the Project V (Planning Studio) course which was carried out during the fall semester of the 2016-2017 academic year by the Department of Landscape Architecture in the Faculty of Architecture and Design of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. In the operation of the studio, students experienced a planning process with all the steps, starting with the description of the subject and problem. In this study, as a result of the functioning of the Gökçeada landscape planning studio mentioned above as well as its gains and limitations for students and their research, spatial decisions for the future of the island have been put forward. In addition, the operational problems of landscape planning studios and their solutions have been expressed through the Gökçeada studio.
