Özet

A landscape planning approach and a landscape management model, based on "landscape ecology", have been developed in this study. First, natural process (disturbance), human activity (disturbance) and habitat patches have been determined as criterias of the definitive space in landscape planning and this criterias, has been analysed in terms of "landscape fragility". Analysis have been conducted in ecological units that have been determined by six criteria (climate, dominant soil groups, aspect, land capacity, land cover, geology). Then, by using the data and the results of the analysis, "landscape management model" have been formed and some suggestions have been made for the research area. By using ecological units in planning, problems have been determined in the smallest homogen units and suggestions have been made. By using tables, that have been formed during the implementation phase, planning decisions have been transferred to the case study area. By the introduction of landscape ecology in planning, the traditional ecological planning approach that has been institutionalized by Overlay model, has been changed. Being a human centered ecological planning model, this approach focuses on landscape suitability for human uses. Introduction of idea and concepts related to landscape ecology has initiated a shift towards some values in planning; such as, environmental ethics, sustainability, ecological fit, ecological integrity and diversity, ecological aesthetics and maintenance of functional landscapes. As a conclucion, it has been proved that, the results of the analysis that have been obtained by landscape fragility, can be used in various planning and management disciplines, including natural resource management (forestry ecosystems, aquatic ecosystems, etc.), landscape planning and urban and regional planning.
