Determination of Ornamental Plants Bearing Industrial Value and Their Use in Landscapes

This study aims to determine the industrial plants which are used as raw material in various branches of the industry and which are preferred as ornamental plants that have aesthetic and functional features in landscape design and planning studies and examine their landscape use. Primarily, with the aim of determining the industrial plants which are preferred as ornamental plants in the landscape design and planning studies, industrial branches were listed, the types of plants used in these industries were handled one by one. The types of plants, used in landscape studies with their aesthetic features such as leaf colour, flowering, fragrance etc, and functional features such as erosion prevention, done stabilization etc, were determined. Industries that benefit from plants as raw materials; chemical industry, food industry and textile industry. The chemical industry is a branch of industry that plants are used mostly, with medicine, paint and cosmetics industry. While plants such as Cotinus coggygria (Sumac), Sambucus nigra (Elder) are used as paint plants, plants such as Iris germanica (Soren), Jasminum grandiflorum (Jasmine) are used as cosmetic and perfumery industry plants. Plants such as Aloe vera, Viola tricolor (Heart's-ease) are also used to chemical industry as raw material in drug production. Bambusa sp.(Bambu) which is widely preferred in interior and outdoor design is a plant species used in textile. Thymus sp. (Thyme), Salvia sp. (Sage), which are popular with their sharp and aromatic smell and preferred in landscaping designs as ground cover plants, are also only two of the plants used in the food industry. When it is thought that some of the plants evaluated as raw materials in various branches of the industry are plants bearing ornamental value, it becomes the object that determine and propogate these plants for industry and landscape studies. If these plants with high added value are grown and sold to the relevant areas, the grower will earn a higher income. It will contribute to the development of the country's economy
