This experimental study concentrates on how different lighting arrangements affect visual perceptions of plant lighting. Five different lighting arrangements of three tree species were prepared; the differences between the participants' perceptions of each lighting arrangement were analysed and the effects of the different lighting arrangements were determined. Consequently, these applied lighting techniques were observed to be effective in creating visual perceptions of plants. In this particular study of plant-lighting alternatives, the objective was to determine which techniques created the most positive effects.

The article describes different steps and methodologies to create an alternative greenway with recreational, scenic, historical and cultural values in Hamsiköy-Zigana, part of Trabzon-Gümüşhane former state highway. As a first step, inventory studies and analyses were carried out to determine the cultural and natural values of the area. As the second step, area analyses studies were carried out. Depending on results of expert-based visual assessment and suitability analyses for determining the suitability of greenway planning in the study area; recreational, scenic, historical-cultural and multifunctional status of the greenway having all these three functions at the same time were mapped using suitability rank in GIS and the plan square technique. As a result, the plan squares having high suitability for the above functions were dense in the determined study, in terms of old highway and neighbourhood. In the whole area (4385.25 ha), 598.00 ha were ranked as good (A), 770.27 ha as medium (B) and 3016.98 ha as poor (C), in terms of suitability value. Seasonal assessments for recreation and scenery functions of A, B and C indicate that the area has opportunities for all seasons. As a third step, the results are discussed and some proposals suggested.

ÖzetKentsel yeşil alanların önemli bir parçası olan botanik bahçeleri, nesli tükenme tehlikesi altındaki bitkilerin koruma altına alındığı, ziyaretçilerini doğrudan ve dolaylı eğiten ve birçok rekreatif imkân sunan önemli merkezlerdir. Çalışma alanı olarak ziyaretçilerine doğal hayatla buluşma fırsatı sunan Nezahat Gökyiğit Botanik bahçesi seçilmiştir. Çalışmada botanik bahçesi ziyaretçilerinin mevsimsel-mekânsal tercihlerini ve botanik bahçesini kullanım amaçlarını belirlemek amacıyla anket çalışması, peyzaj tercihlerini belirlemek amacıyla da görsel anket çalışması yapılmıştır. Anket çalışması sonbahar ve ilkbahar mevsimlerinde toplam 311 kişiyle ve görsel anket çalışması toplam 150 kişiyle alanda yüz yüze yürütülmüştür. Ek olarak, nesnel bir değerlendirme ortaya koymak amacıyla da ziyaretçiler tarafından tercih edilen fotoğrafların fraktal analizi yapılmıştır. Ziyaretçilerin Nezahat Gökyiğit Botanik Bahçesini daha çok kalabalık şehirden uzaklaşmak ve stresten arınmak (%40.5), dışarıda güzel bir gün geçirmek (%14.1) gibi rekreasyonel nedenlerle ziyaret ettiği, mekânsal tercihleri ve peyzaj tercihlerinin de mevsimsel olarak değiştiği sonucu elde edilmiştir. Fraktal analiz sonuçlarında, ziyaretçiler tarafından en çok tercih edilen görüntülerin fraktal boyut değerlerinin yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Ziyaretçi tercihleri ve motivasyonlarının belirlenmesi, botanik bahçesi yöneticileri için mevcut ve geleceğe yönelik gelişim alanlarının planlanması ve tasarımında önem arz etmektedir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Botanik Bahçesi, Kullanıcı tercihleri, Peyzaj terciheri, Nezahat Gökyiğit Botanik Bahçesi. Determination of Visitor Preferences in Botanic Gardens 'Case of Nezahat Gokyigit BotanicGarden' Abstract Botanic gardens as important parts of urban green spaces are substantial centers where endangered plant species are protected and visitors are trained directly-indirectly, moreover they also offer many recreative opportunities. Nezahat Gökyigit Botanic Garden is choosen as a study area that offers to visitors chance to connect with natural life. In this study, questionnaire is prepared to determine visitors' intended use of botanic garden and their seasonal-spatial preferences and visual questionnaire is prepared determine to visitors' landscape preferences. Questionnaires are conducted face-to-face with total 311 people and visual questionnaires conducted with total 150 people in spring and autumn term. In addition, we were made a fractal analysis of preferred photographs by the visitors to reveal an objective assessment. Results showed that visitors mostly visited botanic garden recreational motivatioans like get away from busy city and stress (40.5%), spend a nice day out (14.1%) and also visitors' spatial preferences and landscape preferences can change according to seasons. In fractal analysis results, it has been seen that fractal dimension values of most preferred images by visitors were high too. Determine the visitors' preferences and their motivations are crucial for botanical garden managers to plan and design curren...
