    The relationship between planting design and urban identity
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2020-06-18) Zeybek, Osman; 0000-0002-2752-407X
    Every city develops an identity according to its geography, nation, culture, and history which builds it. This identity is the main factor that shapes the collective memory of dwellers and visitors. It is an undeniable truth that plants which are used in squares, boulevards, and parks contribute a great value to collective memory. The material of this research consists of the books, dissertations, and articles written about planting design in urban identity and collective memory. Spaces that harmed or may harm in the future because of the changes in planting design have been examined and criticized. Besides the structural elements which create urban identity, plants are one of the main factors that affect the image of the city in the collective memory of people massively. The plants present in the open and green areas of the cities contribute to the formation of the identity of the city as much as the structures, and the protection of this vegetation also means protecting the identity of the city. To carry out research in the planting design and urban identity relationship line, 4 cases are selected. These cases express a unique example of plants’ existence and space’s identity; and it is registered that planting design contributes the protection of the space’s identity via collective memory; and makes people feel more attached to the place.
