ARCGIS ONLİNE İLE WEB-TABANLI AĞAÇ BİLGİ SİSTEMİNİN GELİŞTİRİLMESİ: TURGUT ÖZAL BULVARI - MALATYA ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

: Today, where landscape architecture works have gained importance, local administrations and institutions have problems about landscape maintenance and management. Timely and on-site response to these problems is important for landscape maintenance. Thus, this study aimed to establish a Web-Based Tree Information System for the trees, small trees and shrubs species in Turgut Özal boulevard between Yesilyurt and Battalgazi districts of Malatya. The first and the most important step in this information system is the inventory study. For each plant in this boulevard, terrestrial measurement and observation studies have been made and the data obtained have been digitized in ESRI ArcGIS environment and a web-based information system has been created for urban boulevards by sharing it with ArcGIS Online. In addition to that, an attribute table for each plant was created and inserted into the database by giving each tree an identification number (ID No). Each attribute table includes tree coordinates, tree height, dbh, crown diameter, scientific name, Turkish name, potential benefits, potential hazards, and carbon storage capacity. As a result, Turgut Ozal Boulevard is the first and the only boulevard that has a web-based information system, and demonstrated the applicability of carbon storage capacity of road plants. According to the results, in total 568 trees were inventoried in Turgut Ozal Boulevard; 117 of which are Cupressus leylandii , 84 of which are Platanus acerifolia , 74 of which are Platanus orientalis , 72 of which are Rosa spp ., 71 of which are Robinia pseudoacacia , 59 of which are Laurus nobilis , 43 of which are Aesculus hippocastanum , 30 of which are Acer Platanoides , and 2 of which are Thuja orientalis . At the end of study, it was determined that all plants in the study area stored 8020 kg of carbon annually and Cupressus leylandii was found to have the highest carbon storage capacity among all other species with 6450 kg.
