Identification of Green Infrastructure Components via GIS Tools for Van City and Near Surroundings

In the mid-20th century, spatial planning approaches such as ecological networks, green corridors and green infrastructure have been developed in order to prevent the loss of habitat and biodiversity resulting from the fragmentation of natural landscapes with the pressure of population growth and urban expansion. Green infrastructure planning and design process; It is an approach that targets sustainability-oriented solutions, based on the protection of ecosystem services from nature to people and observing the balance of conservationuse of natural resources. Green infrastructure system, parks, gardens, agricultural areas, wetlands, forests, road woodlands, rivers, natural reserve areas, historical areas, lakes, natural and cultural areas of different sizes and different sizes include. These areas are connected to each other by means of green substructure components, which are defined as core (cores), vineyards and spaces. The purpose of this paper is; Determining the current state of the green infrastructure components determined by using Geographical Information Systems in and around Van city center. In this context, the natural and cultural landscaping elements in the area were analyzed in ARCGIS 10.2 by means of Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst tools and the current situation of Van City Center and its close surroundings in terms of green infrastructure components was revealed
