Öğe Evaluation of the relationship between the characteristics of park visitors, their expectations from parks and use preference: The sample of Malatya city, Turkey(WFL Publisher Ltd., 2014) Yilmaz T.; Yilmaz B.; Atik A.; Aslan F.This study was conducted to determine the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics of park users and their aims, frequencies and length of visiting parks in the centre of Malatya city. There is a positive correlation between liveability of a city and the value city parks add to it in today's modern and planned cities. In this respect, parks are important elements of urban structures and needs for their value, service and functions they add increase day by day. As it should be in the local or global supply of all goods and services all over the world, parks should be planned taking the needs and preferences of their users depending on their service and functions. Views and preferences of city people, who are always potential city park users, have directing effects for decision makers. Such views can be determined using questionnaire surveys evaluated through statistical methods. In the present study, data obtained from questionnaire survey conducted in Malatya city centre were subjected to multidimensional statistical analyses and effects of socio-demographic characteristics of local people (city dwellers) and their statistical significance were determined.Öğe Factors effective on industrial wood material production yield in Turkey's natural beech forests(2013) Atik A.; Yilmaz B.; Aslan F.Objective of the present study is to determine objectively the most important factors effective on industrial wood material production yield in a multifaceted approach in the sample of natural oriental beech forest of Turkey where the majority of forest is natural forest and to help entrepreneurs develop more sensitive and realistic production plans considering these factors. In this aim, 41 production units located in Gunye Forest Management in Bartin province (in West Blacksea Region) were chosen to be study area. Study area covering an area of 1277 ha was included in the production plan of the management between 2007 and 2010. General state of stand, natural structure of production units, production method and tools which are the factors thought to be effective on industrial wood material production yield in production units and 26 variables measuring relationships between these factors were evaluated in the study. It was found as the result of the multidimensional statistical analyses including main components, factor and regression analysis that the most important factors effective on production yield were fertility rate, orientation of land, drifting method, constitution structure of the stand, drifting distance, wealth, transportation and abiotic harms. Production units were divided into three groups based on yield rates and 26 variables using discriminate analysis. From the results of the study, a sample model can be developed to help forest managements predict and plan annual industrial wood production more sensitively and realistically. © Sila Science.Öğe Landscape characteristics of Battalgazi archaeological and historical settlement in Malatya, Turkey, its protection problems and solutions(Scibulcom Ltd., 2014) Yilmaz B.; Saricam S.; Aslan F.; Atik A.Historical settlements are the values which combine past and today, achieve interaction between cultures and give identity to the environment. It is usual in historical settlements that a change may be experienced. It is required that a prospective management and protection approach should be provided in order to avoid identity losses by experienced changes in historical settlements. Unfortunately, in time these values are eroded inside the uniform unplanned and distorted urban areas. It is emphasised in the 1972 UNESCO Convention for The Protection of The World Cultural and Natural Heritage that these unique cultural values belong not only to the geography they take place but also to human kind. It is a responsibility for human kind that these values should be protected in a complementary approach without isolating historical places form their original natural and cultural environment. Dating back to Palaeolithic period the Battalgazi town (Old Malatya) in Malatya city was researched. From the antique ages to date, this province has been one of the most important junction points which connect Middle East, Anatolia and Eurasia. In the Ottoman period; during the western attack of Ottoman Army local people were obliged to move orchards houses and set up today urban structure. The town Battalgazi survives with its historical and archaeological tissue. Historical tissue in the town is shaded by distorted urban area, destroyed by wrong restoration methods and poor maintenance conditions in addition to unsuitable socio-cultural structure. This study was carried out by scanning literature, interviewing responsible institutions and experts and evaluating data obtained from observations. In the study elements forming the historical tissue in the area were briefly identified and the relation between historical building and its environment, its land-use and landscape characteristics were investigated. Consequently, the degree of change and its effect on the town were determined.Öğe Modelling purchasing demand of urban people for ornamental plants using logistic regression analysis: Sample of Malatya city(Medwell Journals, 2013) Atik A.; Aslan F.; Yilmaz B.; Ates O.Quality and quantity of urban green space in a city can directly affect public living comfort in the same city. Today, several cities in Turkey face a dense structuring process. People do not give the same importance to green areas as their living places they shelter. However, some local governments develop strategies to protect and use existent green areas spend great amount of efforts and money to gain new green areas through landscape architecture practices. Most important element of green areas is ornamental plants. In the scope of the study, a questionnaire survey was completed using face to face technique. Data was evaluated using single variable logistic regression analysis and variables candidate to enter multivariable model were determined. Equivalence to be used in the determination of probability for urban people to purchase ornamental plants was determined with the help of Logit Model formed as the result of multivariable regression analysis. It was found according to model that gender of people buying ornamental plants, having pet and balcony in the houses and the number of family members were the effective variables. At the end of the study new approaches were proposed for the propagation and marketing of ornamental plants. © Medwell Journals, 2013.Öğe Visual physical landscape analysis of a traditional street: A case study of Beşkonaklar, Malatya, Turkey(WFL Publisher Ltd., 2012) Aslan F.; Ateş O.Cities have been the areas where cultures and civilizations were developed in the eras. Cities having begun to be founded after humans adapted to sedentary had historical identities facing geographical, sociological and cultural events. Cities' identities are very important in today's cities where especially similar structures are present in great majority and it is known that the effect of historical environments is large on urban identity. The city of Malatya is in a rapid changing process. As a result of the process, traditional structure of the city has also been distorted. In the research area, 14 traditional houses have remained in a residential area and they have not been adapted to the new living conditions. The study is to determine how historical urban structure reflecting socio-cultural characteristics of a society can be transformed into modern life by making it a livable attraction centre. In the study, the daily and regular users of the Beşkonak Street of the Malatya City were surveyed through the use of a face to face questionnaire technique. It has been circulated through 124 volunteer daily users and 85 volunteer regular users in May and June 2011 to learn residential awareness on the cities' identities and historical values, and to learn their recommendation to improve cities' identities and qualities. The aim of the study develops a guiding approach and method to be used for creating areas which satisfy users by considering the evaluations of both experts and users in conservation, planning and design of historical structures. In this perspective, landscape perception has been evaluated in only visual and physical extents in the study.
