Özet:

 In this period of global warming and drought, the selection of plants with high water demand and intensively created grass areas used in landscaping works increase the pressure on limited water resources. Therefore, in contrast to approaches such as classical landscaping approaches that require excessive irrigation, there is a need for landscape approaches such as arid landscaping Xeriscape that require less water use. In this study, it was aimed to examine the plants in Iğdır University Şehit Bülent Yurtseven Campus in terms of arid landscape. In this context, the scientific names and Turkish names of 82 plant taxa used in the study area were explained and these taxa were examined in terms of leaf type, life form, leaf condition and water demand. As a result of the evaluations made, of the 82 plants identified in the study area; trees and shrubs constituted the largest group with 56 48 taxa, followed by shrubs with 39 32 taxa and vines with 5 4 taxa. It was determined that 26 26 taxa were native and 56 56 taxa were exotic and 62 51 taxa of these plants were deciduous and 38 31 taxa were evergreen. In addition, 10 taxa with low water demand, 31 taxa with low-medium water demand and 28 plant taxa with medium water demand were identified. It was determined that the grass areas and grass mixture in the campus are not suitable for arid landscaping. As a result, it was concluded that the number of natural taxa and the preference of plants with low water demand and the use of suitable ground cover taxa instead of dense grass areas would be appropriate in terms of arid landscape. In addition, it is envisaged that this study will give direction to other arid landscaping studies planned to be carried out by presenting suggestions on alternative plant taxa and irrigation, which adopt the basic principles of arid landscaping in order to contribute to the creation of a sustainable green urban fabric.

 Peyzaj çalışmalarında kullanılan, su isteği yüksek bitki seçimleri ve yoğun olarak oluşturulan çim alanlar; küresel ısınma ve kuraklığın çok fazla etkisinin yaşandığı bu dönemde, sınırlı su kaynaklarının üzerindeki baskıyı arttırmaktadır. Bundan dolayı aşırı sulama isteyen klasik peyzaj yaklaşımı gibi yaklaşımların aksine daha az su kullanımı gerektiren kurakçıl peyzaj Xeriscape benzeri peyzaj yaklaşımlarına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Iğdır Üniversitesi Şehit Bülent Yurtseven Yerleşkesinde bulunan bitkilerin kurakçıl peyzaj açısından incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışma sahasında kullanıldığı belirlenen 82 bitki taksonunun bilimsel adları ve Türkçe isimleri açıklanarak, bu taksonlar; yaprak tipi, yaşam formu, yaprak durumu ve su isteği açısından ele alınmıştır. Yapılan değerlendirmeler sonucunda çalışma sahasında belirlenen 82 bitkiden;  56 48 takson oranıyla ağaç ve ağaççıklar en büyük grubu oluşturmuş,  39 32 takson oranıyla çalılar ve  5 4 takson oranı ile sarılıcılar bunu takip etmiştir. Belirlenen bitki sayısının 26sının doğal, 56sının ise egzotik olduğu ve bu bitkilerden  62sinin 51 takson yaprak döken,  38inin 31 takson ise herdem yeşil olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca su isteği az olan 10 takson, su isteği az-orta olan 31 takson ve su isteği orta olan 28 bitki taksonu belirlenmiştir. Yerleşkedeki çim alanlarının ve çim karışımının kurakçıl peyzaj açısından uygun olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak doğal taksonların sayısı ve su isteği az olan bitkilerin tercih edilmesi ve yoğun çim alanları yerine uygun yer örtücü taksonların kullanılması kurakçıl peyzaj açısından uygun olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca bu çalışmanın; sürdürülebilir yeşil kent dokusunun oluşturulmasına katkıda bulunmak amacıyla kurakçıl peyzajın temel ilkelerini benimseyen kurağa dayanıklı, bölge ekolojisine uygun alternatif bitki taksonları ve sulama ile ilgili öneriler sunularak, yapılması planlanan diğer kurakçıl peyzaj çalışmalarına yön vermesi öngörülmektedir.
