Thematic Park Congruence Analysis with Ecological Threshold Analysis Method, Case Study Çanakkale

Thematic Parks are defined as open or closed spaces located in urban open green spaces, enabling people to live and work in a healthy way in urban life, reunification with nature, to get away from mental disorders and to do recreational activities. The most important difference of Thematic Parks from other recreational areas can be defined as the benefits they provide to the country's economy. Within the framework of planning criteria for Çanakkale-Center Thematic Park, which was chosen as the study area, a Thematic Park congruence analysis was carried out for Çanakkale with the Ecological Threshold Analysis Method using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Land capability map, land use map, aspect map, slope map, elevation map, groundwater map and transportation map were created by classifying them in 1/25.000 scale from the maps to be used as a base in the analysis study. The maps used to determine the potential theme park area were divided into 1x1 km2 grids and scored with a criterion value of 4 for each grid. As a result of the scoring, one each I. and II. degree potential area and three III. degree potential area has been determined. As a result, within the scope of this study, suitable site selection for a Thematic Park that can be applied in Çanakkale has been determined.
