To prevent adverse effects of rapid urbanization and construction on urban landscapes, protection, and planning of hydrological network systems with open green spaces is a contemporary issue for cities. Within the scope of ensuring the sustainability of water resources and green open spaces, it is necessary to protect the natural water corridors for a sustainable environment, store rainwater, protect and feed the qualities of groundwater, and create permeable surfaces. In many developed countries, blue-green infrastructure solutions are produced respecting the natural structure of the water resources with innovative techniques. Ayvali Creek is an important branch of the Nilufer Stream, which is the mainstream of Bursa. Along this creek corridor under industrial, agricultural, and urban pressures, water pollution is observed and the natural habitat area is damaged. This study aims to categorize the problems and opportunities seen in the differentiating urban typologies along Ayvali Creek, by scoring and prioritizing them with an evaluation matrix. With matrix results, planning and design proposals focused on precipitation water integrated into the existing blue-green infrastructure system for the character of the area have been developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
