Özet:

 The study aims to determine the urban agriculture potential of vacant lands in the city center of Usak, Turkey, and to create a GIS-based urban agriculture inventory. Our analysis focuses on available vacant lands of the municipally-owned lands, foundation lands, public properties, forest lands, and pasture lands within the boundaries of the implementary development plan of the city center of Usak. The optimal urban agriculture map was created using GIS and considered different categories of urban agriculture, including small-scale agriculture, large-scale agriculture, community gardens, and impervious surface or poor soil urban agriculture. The study results showed a significant amount of vacant lands in Usak suitable for urban agriculture, with 7.32 ha being highly suitable, 80.58 ha moderately suitable, and 110.94 ha marginally suitable. Results indicate that vacant lands in the city can be utilized for urban agriculture, which can provide numerous benefits to the local food system.

 Bu çalışma, Türkiyenin Uşak ili merkezindeki boş arazilerin kentsel tarım potansiyelini belirlemeyi ve kentsel tarım envanterini belirlemek için CBS tabanlı bir metodoloji oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır. Analiz, Uşak il merkezi uygulama imar planı sınırları içerisinde bulunan belediyeye ait araziler, vakıf arazileri, kamu taşınmazları, orman arazileri ve mera arazilerinin mevcut boş arazilerine odaklanmaktadır. Çalışma sonucunda küçük ölçekli tarım, büyük ölçekli tarım, topluluk bahçeleri ve geçirimsiz yüzey veya zayıf toprak kentsel tarım dahil olmak üzere farklı kentsel tarım kategorileri dikkate alınarak CBS tabanlı optimal kentsel tarım haritası oluşturulmuştur. Çalışma sonuçları, Uşakta önemli miktarda boş arazinin kentsel tarıma uygun olduğunu, 7.32 ha yüksek derecede uygun, 80.58 ha orta derecede uygun ve 110.94 ha marjinal olarak uygun olduğunu göstermiştir. Sonuçlar, şehirdeki boş arazilerin önemli derecede kentsel tarım potansiyeli olduğunu ve yerel gıda sistemine çok sayıda fayda sağlayabileceğini göstermektedir.
