In this study, Travel Cost Analysis is used to make an economic valuation of recreational area for the Bozcaada, NW Turkey. Within this framework, a total of 200 questionnaires were applied to the visitors at Bozcaada by the random sampling method. In the economic analysis model of Bozcaada, the "Number of Visits" made to the area per year was taken as the dependent variable, while "Travel Expenses", "Participants' Level of Income", "Age of participants" and "Vehicle Ownership Status" were taken as independent variables. Semi-logarithmic function type was used for the analysis of consumer rent. As a result of the analyzes, total consumer rent value was found to be 21.795.492,32 TL per year considering Bozcaada's September 2017 prices. In this research, the relationship between the landscaping areas and the economy is revealed and it is exemplified that the economic analysis of the environment and sources can be made by Individual Travel Cost Method (ITCM).
Pedestrian spaces are important public spaces that promote, support, and improve urban public life. Generally, these spaces are created by pedestrianizing existing streets, squares, plazas, and so forth as part of overall planning. Today, such an approach is considered an important urban strategy. One of the aims of pedestrianization is to clear certain areas from vehicular traffic in order to transform them into unconstrained and safe environments. Another purpose of pedestrianization is to improve mixed-use areas to ensure better performance of their functions. This study aims to determine the quality criteria that one should take into account while creating and managing pedestrian spaces and to measure the quality level of downtown Ankara's oldest and most used nine streets. For this purpose, a two-stage questionnaire, consisting of 22 questions, was conducted. The questions were collected from related literature and similar research. The data obtained in the first stage were evaluated by factor analysis, which is a quantitative method. The findings showed that the quality criteria were grouped into five main factors: design, maintenance, activities, accessibility, and safety. The data obtained in the second stage revealed the extent that the streets in the study area met these criteria. The study's findings revealed that the streets with the highest quality level were İzmir and Yüksel streets, and the street with the lowest quality level was Bayındır Street. The research determined the pedestrian space quality criteria in general and the strengths and weaknesses of the study area in particular. The results are a guide for planners, designers, managers, and policymakers who are engaged in developing existing spaces and creating new ones.

Su kaynaklarının varlığı günümüzde kentleşme, nüfus artışı, iklim değişikliği, ormansızlaşma gibi nedenlerle tehdit altındadır. Plansız kentleşme, geçirimsiz yüzeylerin artması, mevcut bitki örtüsünün yok edilmesi suyun doğal döngüsünü engellemeye başlamıştır. Doğal döngüsünü gerçekleştiremeyen su, yer altı sularına ulaşamayarak su varlığını riske sokmaktadır. Ayrıca yüzeysel akışa geçerek kentlerde sel ve taşkınlara neden olmaktadır. Bu durum karşısında günümüz kentlerindeki geleneksel sistemler yerine, sürdürülebilir sistemlerin kullanılması gündeme gelmiştir. Dünyada sürdürülebilir su yönetimi sistemleri kapsamında birçok kavram ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu kavramlardan biri olan yeşil altyapı sistemleri yağmur suyunu düştüğü yerde yönetmek için bitki örtüsü ve toprağı kullanır, bu sayede kentsel hava kalitesini artırır, infiltrasyonu sağlar ve taşkınları engellemeye yardımcı olur. Çalışma kapsamında yeşil altyapı kavramı ve uygulama yöntemleri açıklanmıştır. Alan olarak Edirne ilinde Fırınlarsırtı TOKİ (Toplu Konut İdare Başkanlığı) Konutları seçilmiştir. Çalışma, yeşil altyapı kavramı içerisinde bir çözüm yöntemi olan bitkisel öğelerin kullanılmasına odaklanmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda yüzeysel akışın olduğu caddeler üzerinde mevcut bitkisel doku analiz edilmiştir. Tüm bu veriler değerlendirilerek, alanın genel durumuna ve akışın olduğu caddelerde akışı tutmak adına bitkisel öneriler sunulmuştur.
