Özet

In urban areas, replete with environmental problems, people need open green areas in order for them to recreate themselves. In this study, the green area amount in Erzurum city centre was determined and its efficacy was evaluated using GIS. The study was carried out in three districts and 73 neighbourhoods. The land use classification was performed on Quickbird image in 2005 and it was determined that the residential area is 1343.5 ha, the vegetated area with trees is 582.9 ha, the park area is 25.5 ha and the sport area is 30.2 ha. However, efficacy of the green areas was determined by finding their effective areas.
