    Urban forests have become important elements of cities' green fabric providing many ecosystem services including recreation. In this study, we proposed a model for urban forest management planning in the example of Istanbul, where urban sprawl has transformed the green infrastructure of the city dramatically. To this purpose, a total of 201 surveys were conducted through face-to-face interviews including those working as managers and technical staff in the forestry organization in Istanbul, academicians and NGOs. Subjects to be surveyed were determined according to the layered-simple random sampling method. The data were evaluated by descriptive statistics based on a variety of opinions about urban forest management planning in Turkey along with various socio-economic variables (gender, profession and experience). Whether there was any statistically significant difference between the groups was determined by Kruskal-Wallis H-Test. In case a difference was found, Duncan's Multiple Range Test was applied to detect the group(s) significantly different from each other. The results revealed that mainly males agreed on the purpose of urban forests as addressing recreational and social needs. All groups highlighted the lack of coordination and poor management system as main problems, while experienced and male subjects addressed that a new urban forest law is necessary. Mainly academicians and representatives of NGO's and related institutions suggested redefining the concept and restructuring the legislation concerning urban forests. In terms of activities, the majority favored hiking and sightseeing activities (51%), photograplty (42%), and extreme sports (27%). There was an emphasis on the need for sufficient number of hiking, climbing and cycling trails and botanical gardens. As a result, a model plan based on sustainable resource management ensuring multi-purpose utilization was proposed.

    Expectations of the People Living in Metropolises from Recreation Areas: Case Study—Istanbul
    (2023) Kose, Murat; Gurbey, Alev Perihan; Makineci, Ender; Aktas, Nilufer Kart; Akburak, Serdar; Özdemir, Emrah; Kul, Ali Ayhan
    The adverse effects of metropolis life have caused physical, mental, and spiritual wear on people. Recreational activities have become necessary to eliminate these wears or reduce their impact, mainly in natural areas. This study aimed to reveal the demands and expectations of people in Istanbul, a population of 15 million and one of the few metropolises globally from recreation areas. Within this study, 404 subjects were interviewed, and a survey study was carried out according to the random sampling method. The data were evaluated with various statistical techniques. Nature-based sports, botanical gar- dens, multi-purpose sports areas, and nature education activities have been determined to be the most desired functions in recreation areas in Istanbul. In terms of nature-based sports activities, it can be said that walking, cycling, and camping activities are the most preferred activities. The natural environment is the most crucial resource in meeting recreational needs. Also, unique personal features, characteristics of recreational areas, social value judgments, the population density of cities, and the amount of green space per person, etc., significantly affect recreational demands and expectations. Both were increasing the quality of existing recreation areas. The ability to carry out recreational activities that cannot be done due to the lack of space by improving the quality of current recreation areas and opening and evaluating potential recre- ation areas will ensure that the city people's recreational expectations and demands are met.
