Özet
The aim of this research was to develop a methodological approach for greenway system planning and design in the case of Seyhan River, Adana. Essence of the approach was to investigate the recreation-oriented land use possibilities. In this respect, the emphasize was given to the areas considered as focal points and have potential recreation focal points as a result of greenway development plans. Multi-criteria analysis was utilized to determine the focal points. Five criteria were considered: (1) current land use/cover, (2) land capability classes, (3) slope, (4) aspect and (5) distance to river. Recreational suitability map together with focal points were derived using multi-criteria analysis within Geographic information systems (GIS) environment. The focal areas in terms of recreational usage cover less than 5 da. were eliminated as it is inappropriate to consider whole focal points at the suitability map, and consequently 28 fields as focal point were determined within the research area. Gravity Model and Inverse Distance Weight (IDW) methods were used to determine the recreation potential weights of the 28 focus areas. 28 focal areas and 44 residential units within the research area were included to the model. As a result of this, focal index map which was considered as base map for recreational usage of focal points were created. The focal points were considered into three categories: Recreational usage; conservation based usage; conservation, in order to propose land uses on the basis of this map. Recreational usage proposals were developed for the focal points within these three categories considering area coverage, current land use/cover, transportation facilities, distance to the nearest settlement, and distance to the nearest focal point criteria.
