Description
Summary:Plant species used in urban settlements play an important role in cultural change and biodiversity determination. In the past, people have used many plant species to beautify their gardens by giving importance to flowering plants. Biodiversity can be determined by using the distribution of flowering plant species that have traditionally been preferred as species and in urban settlements. In this study, when the plants used in the settlement areas were investigated, 132 plant species belonging to 39 families were identified in a total of 200 sample areas. Five different residential areas were evaluated in the study. These can be listed as detached houses, traditional houses, villa houses, site, mass housing. It has been determined that non-natural species are used extensively in the research areas. It is observed that plant species natural plants and containing fruit are given priority in traditional gardens. It has been determined that unnatural species are used in other house types. For the continuity and protection of natural plant species, the garden order of traditional houses has been found more valuable.
