In this course, it is aimed to give various information on the subject by examining the concepts of city, urbanization, urban landscape, urban ecosystem, urban open-green space, species richness, biodiversity, urban biodiversity, the importance of biodiversity, planning of biodiversity in cities and urban landscape planning.
The content of this course is the formation of cities and the development of their physical forms in the historical process; open-green spaces as urban landscape; biological interactions; new ecological communities; biodiversity and value systems; spatial and environmental variables; human-nature interaction in cities; threats of rapid urbanization on the existence of species and ecological communities; biodiversity and human population density in the twenty-first century; the effects of human population on species biodiversity; the importance of cities for biological conservation; some key features of urban ecosystems; island biogeography in cities; the roles of exotic species; urban biodiversity at the intersection of biodiversity and urban sustainability; the role of pollination and native plant species in supporting urban biodiversity; the contribution of urban landscape to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity; the importance and reasons for preserving biodiversity of urban landscape; urban ecosystems and biodiversity education; urban biodiversity strategies; methods of increasing biodiversity in urban landscape; protection of areas with high biodiversity; connection between habitat areas; creation of ecological features; importance of a nature-friendly urban form; harvesting and use of rainwater; role of landscape architects in increasing biodiversity in urban landscape; landscape planning for urban landscape.
