Özet:

 With the expansion of cities, the need for urban residents to connect with nature has increased. Individuals seeking to escape stress have begun to prefer green spaces such as nature reserves, forested areas, and urban parks. In this context, the integration of green spaces and waterfronts into recreational activities is of great importance. Among such natural areas, national parks stand out as significant sites. This study evaluates the recreational potential of Kovada Lake National Park using the Gülez method. This method involves scoring various criteria and calculating a final score within a specific formula. According to the study results, the park received high scores for its landscape and climatic attributes. However, it was found to be insufficient in terms of recreational facilities. Based on the overall assessment, the parks recreational potential score was calculated as 70, categorizing it as having a High Forest Recreation Potential. These findings indicate that Kovada Lake National Park is a significant area for recreation and serves as an ideal destination for individuals seeking relaxation in a natural setting.

 Kentlerin büyümesiyle birlikte, kent sakinlerinin doğayla temas kurma gereksinimi de artmıştır. Stresten uzaklaşmak isteyen bireyler, doğa rezervleri, ormanlık alanlar ve şehir parkları gibi yeşil alanları tercih etmeye başlamıştır. Bu bağlamda, yeşil alanların ve su kenarlarının rekreasyona kazandırılması büyük önem arz etmektedir. Milli parklar, bu tür doğal alanlar arasında öne çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Kovada Gölü Milli Parkının rekreasyon potansiyelini değerlendirmek amacıyla, Gülez yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu yöntem, çeşitli ölçütlerin puanlanarak belirli bir formül çerçevesinde hesaplanmasını içermektedir. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre, Kovada Gölü Milli Parkının peyzaj ve iklim değerleri yüksek puan almıştır. Ancak, rekreatif kolaylıklar açısından parkın yetersiz olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Genel değerlendirme neticesinde, parkın rekreasyon potansiyeli puanı 70 olarak hesaplanmış ve Ormaniçi Rekreasyon Potansiyeli Yüksek olarak nitelendirilmiştir. Bu bulgular, Kovada Gölü Milli Parkının rekreasyon açısından önemli bir alan olduğunu ve doğayla iç içe dinlenme arayışında olanlar için ideal bir mekân teşkil ettiğini ortaya koymaktadır.
