Özet:

 The family Ericaceae is a large family of Angiosperms spread throughout the temperate regions of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It includes plants, shrubs and trees that are often found in acidic and inefficient growing conditions. It offers ecologically based and sustainable landscape design alternatives by using natural species in plant designs. Many species of the Ericaceae family are naturally found in the mountainous and forested areas of Turkey, which is a very rich country in terms of plant species diversity with its geographical location and climate characteristics. Landscape designs created using natural vegetation offer ecologically based and sustainable alternatives. However, in urban areas, natural vegetation is not utilized sufficiently and efficiently. These plants, which create a visual impact with the beauty of their forms, leaves, flowers and fruits in the rural landscape of Turkey, have not found sufficient use in the urban landscape, despite the favorable conditions in terms of climate and growing environment. In this study, the morphological characteristics and landscape usage possibilities of some Ericaceae family plants that grow naturally in Turkey and can be used to create effective landscapes with their aesthetic properties were investigated. It is aimed to encourage the use of these natural species, which have high potential in terms of sustainable and economic applications, in open-green areas.

 Ericaceae ailesi, Kuzey ve Güney Yarımkürelerin ılıman bölgelerine yayılmış geniş bir Angiosperm ailesidir. Genellikle asidik ve verimsiz yetiştirme koşullarında bulunan bitkileri, çalıları ve ağaçları içerir. Bitkisel tasarımlarda doğal türleri kullanarak, ekolojik temelli ve sürdürülebilir peyzaj tasarım alternatifleri sunmaktadır. Coğrafi konumu ve iklim özellikleriyle bitki tür çeşitliliği açısından oldukça zengin bir ülke olan Türkiyenin dağlık ve ormanlık alanlarında Ericaceae familyasına ait pek çok tür doğal olarak bulunmaktadır. Doğal bitki örtüsü kullanılarak oluşturulan peyzaj tasarımları ekolojik temelli ve sürdürülebilir alternatifler sunmaktadır. Ancak kentsel alanlarda doğal bitki örtüsünden yeterli ve verimli bir şekilde yararlanılamamaktadır. Türkiye kırsal peyzajında formlarının, yapraklarının, çiçeklerinin ve meyvelerinin güzelliği ile görsel etki yaratan bu bitkiler, iklim ve yetişme ortamı açısından uygun koşullara rağmen kentsel peyzajda yeterli kullanım alanı bulamamıştır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiyede doğal olarak yetişen ve estetik özellikleriyle etkili peyzajlar oluşturmak için kullanılabilecek bazı Ericaceae familyası bitkilerinin morfolojik özellikleri ve peyzaj kullanım olanakları araştırılmıştır. Sürdürülebilir ve ekonomik uygulamalar açısından potansiyeli yüksek olan bu doğal türlerin açık-yeşil alanlarda kullanımının teşvik edilmesi amaçlanıyor.
