İKLİM ADAPTASYONUNUN ANAHTARI OLARAK YEŞİL ALTYAPI: KENTSEL DOĞA VE İKLİM DEĞİŞİKLİĞİ

İklim değişikliği, ekosistemlerin, insan sağlığının ve doğal kaynakların küresel güvenliğini tehdit etmektedir. Bu tehditler, çeşitli etkileri azaltmaya yönelik teknolojik çözümlerin yanı sıra beklenen etkilere uyum sağlamak için etkili stratejilere olan talebi artırmıştır. Gün geçtikçe etkisi daha fazla hissedilen küresel iklim değişikliğinin neden olduğu iklim olaylarının olumsuz etkilerini azaltmak için alınması gereken önlemler arasında kentlerde yeşil altyapı sistemlerinin geliştirilmesi önemli bir yer almaktadır. Yeşil altyapı unsurları ve teknolojileri, şehirlerdeki en iyi iklim uyum stratejilerinden biri olarak görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, yeşil altyapı unsurlarını kullanarak şehirlerde iklim değişikliğinin azaltılması ve uyum sağlanması için bir çeşit çerçeve sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çerçeve yeşil altyapı uygulamalarının incelenmesi kapsamında ele alınarak araştırmacılara ve karar vericilere, iklim değişikliğinin hafifletilmesi ve uyum sağlanması ve kentsel planlamaya etkili bir şekilde uyarlanması için rehberlik edecektir.

GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AS KEY OF CLIMATE ADAPTATION: URBAN NATURE AND CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change threatens the global security of ecosystems, human health and natural resources. These threats have increased the demand for effective strategies to adapt to expected impacts as well as technological solutions to mitigate various impacts. The development of green infrastructure systems in cities is among the measures that should be taken to reduce the negative effects of climate events caused by global climate change, the impact of which is felt more and more day by day. Green infrastructure elements and technologies are seen as one of the best climate adaptation strategies in cities. This study aims to provide a kind of framework for climate change mitigation and adaptation in cities using green infrastructure elements. This framework will be considered within the scope of the examination of green infrastructure practices and will guide researchers and decision makers in mitigating and adapting to climate change and effectively adapting it to urban planning.
