Özet:

 Objective: With this study, it was aimed to determine the urban habitat trees in Ordu city center in cemeteries, to determine their spatial distribution, to reveal their health status and physical characteristics, and finally to create an Urban Habitat Tree Database. Materials and Methods: The study was performed in 10 different urban cemeteries located in the city center of Ordu. Habitat trees were identified because of field studies: The cemetery where they are located has been examined in terms of trunk diameter, crown width, height, and micro-habitat structures they have, and the relationships between cemeteries have been revealed by statistical methods. Results: A total of 214 habitat trees, 23 exotic, and 191 natural species, with a trunk diameter of at least 40 cm were identified in 10 different cemeteries. The cemetery with the highest number of habitat trees is Sahincili Cemetery, with 88 habitat trees. The cemetery with the fewest habitat trees is the Karapinar Cemetery. In addition to these, 46 trees with a trunk diameter of at least 35 cm were identified and recorded as habitat tree candidates. Conclusion: With this study, which was conducted on the example of cemeteries in the Ordu city center, the importance of recording the information on habitat trees in urban areas in the database, keeping this information up to date and making it accessible to everyone has been revealed. With the inventory created, it will be possible for local governments and decision-makers to consider habitat trees in their planning studies.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma ile; Ordu kent merkezinde bulunan kentsel habitat ağaçlarının mezarlıklar özelinde tespit edilmesi, konumsal olarak dağılımlarının belirlenmesi, sağlık durumlarının ve fiziksel özelliklerinin ortaya konulması, son olarak bir Kentsel Habitat Ağacı Veri Tabanı oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve Yöntem: Çalışma, Ordu kent merkezinde bulunan 10 ayrı kentsel mezarlık alanında yürütülmüştür. Arazi çalışmaları sonucunda tespit edilen habitat ağaçları; bulundukları mezarlık, gövde çapı, tepe tacı genişliği, boy ve sahip oldukları mikro habitat yapıları bakımından incelenmiş, mezarlıklar arasındaki ilişkiler istatistiksel metotlarla ortaya konulmuştur. Araştırma Bulguları: 10 ayrı örnek mezarlık alanında gövde çapı en az 40 cm olan, 23ü egzotik ve 191i doğal tür olmak üzere toplam 214 adet habitat ağacı tespit edilmiştir. Habitat ağaçlarının en fazla bulunduğu mezarlık 88 habitat ağacı içeren Şahincili Şehir Mezarlığıdır. En az habitat ağacı bulunan mezarlık ise Karapınar Mezarlığıdır. Bunlara ek olarak, gövde çapı en az 35 cm olan 46 adet ağaç tespit edilip, habitat ağacı adayı olarak kaydedilmiştir. Sonuç: Ordu kent merkezinde yer alan mezarlıklar örneğinde yapılan bu çalışma ile, kentsel alanlardaki habitat ağaçlarına ait bilgilerin veri tabanına kaydedilmesi, bu bilgilerin güncel tutulması ve herkes için erişilebilir olmasının önemi ortaya konulmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda kentsel habitat ağaçlarına ilişkin oluşturulan envanter sayesinde, bu ağaçların ekoloji tabanlı kentsel planlama süreçlerine dâhil edilmesi kolaylaşmış olacaktır.
