Özet
Climate change is causing global environmental and social problems through its effects on the Earth’s climate system, and cities are intensely feeling these impacts. This study aims to examine the sensitivity and vulnerability of open and green spaces in the city of Düzce to the effects of climate change, and to present strategies to mitigate this damage. Located in an area exposed to the effects of climate change, Düzce presents an important example in terms of the management and protection of open and green spaces. With its location exposed to the effects of climate change, Düzce presents an interesting example in terms of management and protection of open and green spaces. The scope of the study consists of methods such as field research, data analysis, and literature review to determine Düzce’s climate characteristics and climate change effects. The open and green spaces of Düzce are vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Climate change impacts such as extreme heat waves, heavy rainfall, flood risks, and drought in the city reveal that these areas are highly fragile. These effects can lead to significant problems in the areas in question. Therefore, local governments, planners, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the private sector, academic institutions, research centers, and local communities should work in collaboration to increase the region’s resilience against climate change. In conclusion, determining management strategies suitable for Düzce’s unique climate conditions can provide a road map for solving problems both for the city itself and for similar geographies. © This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/).
