Abstract:

One of the main problems in the cities, urban infrastructure gradually replaces natural habitats, is biodiversity loss. In this study, it was aimed to focus on design with some natural plants and reveal the local plant species can be preferred in studies to support biodiversity by balancing the pollinator population especially in Ankara. By examining the species in the natural vegetation of Kalecik and its surroundings, plant species that can be used in landscape designs, were determined. Among these species, plants preferred in pollination gardens abroad were listed. As a result of the study, 16 plant species belonging to 10 genera, stand out with their positive contribution to pollination and can be preferred in urban landscape designs, were determined. Features which are prominent in landscape designs, such as flower (color, flowering period, etc.), leaves, life form and size, were examined.
