The Creation of the Landscape Planning and Design Projects with Idea Developed for Diversity
Abstract
Recent years the relationship between the nature and human has become disappearing. Because people are forced to live in urban areas which are concrete and metal stack in today’s. So city people have demanded to return the areas belonging to them from time to time where resembling the natural environment. In this regard urban parks are important for the city and the city people. This study focuses on the preferred qualities of area in terms of both environmental affordances and design characteristics in urban park and recreation area. The key concern of this study is to explore the concepts of the projects and reflects of this to the projects and area. The study was conducted in the Bartın City. The study area planned and designed in different views of the planners/designers. After studies three projects prepared in different concepts were selected for example. The research instrument was a set of landscape plan and design projects including survey, spot, master, vegetable, construction, sketch and perspective elements. The study covers the importance of planners/designers’ preference in landscape plan and design studios. Landscape structure and functions have been examined within the context of the entire natural and cultural dynamics in the study. The project phases involved setting thematic strategic objectives, conceptualizing spatial development scenario along with action plans and delivering model proposals. In compliance with protection and management of natural and cultural landscapes, the project introduces natural and cultural asset-based approach to form local sustainable development framework. Each development idea has been tested with others and the sustainability of natural-cultural landscapes, and subsequently spatial interaction analysis scrutinized. In conclusion, this paper outlined the area development strategy project alongside the author’s point of view with a focus on concepts. Finally, the results were used to create a set of useful recommendations to help urban people and designers create more livable spaces in urban areas.

Introduction
Cities show continuous improvement in social and cultural facilities and services. However, the process of urbanization on the one hand provides better living conditions for people on the other hand breaks contact with nature (Aydemirvd., 1999). While daily contact with nature is essential in large cities, such opportunities are often limited, thus reducing chances for psychological restoration. Such a space the provision of more livable urban environments depends on the presence of natural elements.
Planners and designers primary goal for human existence and society is to consider the most consistent and most productive forms of the natural environment. The protection of an optimal combination of ecological and aesthetic use of land, to provide ecological and landscape diversity optimal is for the structural and visual diversity and changes requirements in planning and design(Van der Ryn and Cowan, 1996).
The subject and site selection, determining the choice, defining the concept, the interpretation of the project, to produce solutions for the problems, the establishment of cause-effect relationships, the evaluation of the project's past and future axes as a holistic, make up healthy insight and etc. (several stages forming the project process) is developed depending on the planners/ designers’ critical and analytical thinking in landscaping projects.Planners and designers have a set of skills and attitude that required in the creation and application phases of the project. Thus; expectations of individuals who requesting the project and will experience the result of the project are defined correctly and alternative perspectives on the results of the project are developed. In addition, consistency of alternative about the area is evaluated healthy, is treated conscious and scientifically and healthy vision is made.
Conclusion
Landscape project process that includes a comprehensive thought and procedures can take place only by the information system analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Therefore healthy and comprehensive thinking but without prejudice were preferred to achieving results in generating projects. For this, firstly data collection, data analysis, create a synthesis of the data, the question identification, considering possible responses that might be thinking of reasons to support each answer, the defense of justification of the right choice and to evaluate the results subtraction were applied. Example planning and design implications extracted from the concept can be considered as a step toward design approach, linking research findings with planning and design solutions.
Decisions of planners and designers in the creation of the project, determination of planning preferences, selection of herbal and structural elements have shown efficacy in several phases as design lines. Thus integrity has been provided from general to the special in the every detail. Project proposals were evaluated in terms of the abundance of space with ideas for the protection of natural and cultural values (diversity). Primarily expectations from the project were identified in the selected project examples. Understanding of the subject at all stages of the project accurately have been effective in completing the all stages.
Although working areas have identical geography, climate, history, values and culture in general firstly beginning the process with the understanding protection of natural and cultural values later have diversified from each other with the formation of the different project concepts. Thus, the solution of the problem of planners / designers not for one where will likely be many correct solution but defend the right reasons have been put forth.
We can conclude that selection and generalization mechanisms the spatial conception is a kind of mythical construction. It does not originate simply from the physical reality of the space but rather primarily from the meanings attached to this reality. The study useful for other preferred projects and areas in terms of the plan and design characteristics of such spaces in urban residential. Suggested projects in the study address the design attributes of the spaces and thus make the linkages between the findings and planning and design processes. Considering all the preferred landscape scenes under the concept affordance and attributes categories brings an interesting point into focus.
The project's main planning decisions;
The preferred seating areas mainly include relatively small spaces with rounded arrangements of benches, picnic benches and gazebos surrounded by green that encourage small gatherings.
The common characteristic of the scenes are the presence of well-defined edges separating different materials which create clear boundaries and make the scenes easier to read.
Densely planted shrubs which can build visual barriers and shorten the view distance couldn’t be preferred in the projects.
Small green spaces were considered in the project that provides opportunities for socializing and for growing vegetables and ornamental plants.
Projects considered to be aesthetically and ecologically well-designed by professionals, they are also meet users’ needs and preferences and become part of their lives.
The expectation is that physical and cultural context will generate different place-specific design solutions. It should also be acknowledged that the design recommendations presented here are specific to place. The approach for making recommendations, however, can be applied in any context. The results of this study support the necessity of community design to improve social interaction and provide a variety of ways of meeting this need.
