    Application of Sponge City strategies in flood susceptible areas; Hatay, Antakya example
    (Springer, 2025) Aksoy, Onur; Erken, Kamil; Sokmen, Eren Dagra
    Recently, floods have affected many areas due to the deterioration of the precipitation regime and improper land use. To mitigate these impacts, it is essential to implement sustainable urban drainage systems, such as Sponge City strategies, particularly in vulnerable regions. The study aims to minimize the possible effects of flood disasters by developing Sponge City proposals in high flood susceptibility areas in the center of Hatay, where the loss of life and a major structural disaster occurred after the February 6, 2023, Kahramanmara & scedil; earthquake. Firstly the study flood susceptibility analysis was carried out at the Hatay center. The SWAT + module was used while performing the flood susceptibility analysis. The SWAT + module was employed to ascertain the locations of areas exhibiting high, moderate, and low flood susceptibility within the Hatay center. Analysis has showed that %89.24 of agricultural area and % 6.47 of built-up areas in the center of Hatay are under serious threat. The study is unique in that it proposes SC recommendations in flood susceptibility areas using geographic information systems. The impact of flood-related damages can be mitigated through the implementation of Sponge City applications in areas with high flood risk. Many such applications have been proposed for the region, and these suggestions are crucial for integrating them into new master plans. By adopting Sponge City principles, we can enhance the resilience of vulnerable areas and effectively manage water resources to reduce flood risk and protect both agricultural and built-up zones.

    Evaluation of climate justice in open green spaces based on landscape metrics: the case of Istanbul
    (Springer, 2025) Sokmen, Eren Dagra; Aksoy, Onur
    Rapid urbanisation leads to a rapidly growing population in cities, causing an unequal distribution and resulting in climate injustices. In areas with insufficient green infrastructure, this creates unhealthy conditions and a strong Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This study was conducted in 18 districts of Istanbul. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of green spaces on the UHI effect using landscape metrics, and to propose green space strategies for areas affected by climate injustice. In this context, NDVI analysis was performed to identify green spaces using images from the Sentinel-2 A satellite. Additionally, Land Surface Temperature (LST) was calculated from Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS satellite images, and the landscape metrics of green spaces in UHI and non-UHI areas were analysed using Fragstats software. In the final stage, statistical analyses including t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between LST and the landscape metrics. The study shows that Zeytinburnu and Ka & gbreve;& imath;thane are climatically unjust, despite having average green space. The reason for these districts to have more UHI areas than others is their limited green spaces, which is characterized by a smaller size than other districts. In addition, the results of statistical tests revealed that differences in LST and landscape metrics between UHI and non-UHI areas were statistically significant, except for the connectivity metric. Correlation analyses showed that LST had a strong negative correlation with CA, PLAND, LPI, TE, ED, and MPS; a moderate negative correlation with NP and PD; and a weak positive correlation with connectivity. All these findings highlight that future open green space designs must consider metrics such as class area, percentage of landscape, number of patches, mean patch size, patch density, largest patch index, total edge, and edge density. Based on these findings, green space proposals were developed for climatically unjust areas considering landscape metrics. The outcomes of this study are unique because they assess climate justice through landscape metrics, providing a foundation for urban planning and design efforts in developed, developing, and less-developed countries.
