Çankırı Kenti Kamusal Yeşil Alanlarının Yeterliliğinin Ulaşılabilirlik Yönünden Değerlendirilmesi.

Public green areas which are significant parts of urban green areas are important for urban recreational activities. The public green area standard is determined as 10 m2 per capita as in the City Planning Law No. 3194. Adequacy of public green areas is defined in the specified law according to the demographic structure. Definition of green areas as per capita allows evaluating the spatial use of these areas. Accessibility is an important factor in evaluation of public green areas which meet the recreational demands of the urban people. In this study, adequacy of public green areas in Çankiri is evaluated with regard to both standards specified in the law and accessibility. The city meets the legal standards, however, does not meet the accessibility standards. 80 percent of the city people cannot access the current public green areas within the ideal accessibility boundaries. Public green areas predicted within the city development plan will be accessible by 75 percent of the city people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
