Özet:

 Urban green spaces encompass gardens, parks, green corridors, roadside landscapes, and similar areas within cities. Beyond recreational activities, these spaces are important venues for enhancing human psychology and social interaction. Increasing urban green spaces is vital for sustainable urban design. Plants play a significant role in the development of urban life. However, achieving the desired goals requires planning, design, implementation, and maintenance activities to be carried out as a whole within a scientific and technical framework, especially by relevant professional disciplines and experts. This study aims to identify the plant materials used in key urban parks, official institution gardens, roadside trees, and residential gardens in different districts of Diyarbakır city center. In this context, plant inventories were conducted in the specified areas, and the species, usage areas, purposes, densities, and plant design aspects of the plants were evaluated. It was determined that a total of 60 plant taxa, including 44 trees and shrubs 9 of which are widespread and 16 shrubs 7 of which are widespread, were used in urban open-green spaces. The study concluded that plant applications that would add brand value to the city were insufficient in the identified areas. Recommendations were made for increasing the diversity of plants resistant to hot and dry climate conditions, as well as using fruit-bearing plant taxa that would contribute to biodiversity.

 Kentsel açık yeşil alanlar, kentlerdeki bahçeler, parklar, yeşil koridorlar, yol peyzajı ve benzeri alanları kapsamaktadır. Bu alanlar rekreasyonel aktiviteler dışında insan psikoloji ve insanlar arası sosyal etkileşimi sağlayan önemli mekânlardır. Sürdürülebilir kent tasarımları için kentsel açık yeşil alanların artırılması önemli bir yere sahiptir. Kentsel yerleşimlerde bitkiler kentsel yaşamın gelişmesinde önemli rol oynarlar. Ancak istenilen amaca ulaşmak için bilimsel ve teknik çerçevede, planlama-tasarım-uygulama-bakım çalışmalarının bir bütün içinde ve özellikle ilgili meslek disiplinleri ve uzman kişiler tarafından gerçekleştirilmesi gereklidir. Çalışmada Diyarbakır kent merkezindeki önemli kent parkları ve resmi kurum bahçeleri, yol ağaçları ve değişik semtlerdeki ev bahçelerinde kullanılan bitki materyalinin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda belirlenen alanlarda bitki sayımları yapılarak, bitkilerin türleri, kullanım alanları, kullanım amaçları, kullanım yoğunlukları ve bitkisel tasarım yönünden değerlendirilmeleri yapılmıştır. Kent açık-yeşil alanlarında, 44 ağaç ve ağaççık 9 türü yaygın ve 16 çalı 7 türü yaygın olmak üzere toplam 60 bitki taksonu kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırma soncunda belirlenen alanlarda bitkisel materyal kullanımında kente marka değeri kazandıracak bitkisel uygulamaların yetersiz olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Sıcak ve kurak iklim şartlarına dayanıklı bitki çeşitliliğinin artırılması yanı sıra biyoçeşitliliğe katkı sağlayacak meyvesi yenen bitki taksonlarının kullanılması gerekliliğine yönelik öneriler yer verilmiştir.
