The human increases environmental pressures and consumes resources. Therefore; Landscapes are also changed by natural events or human beings over time. Landscape ecology examines these changing relationships and takes landscape as a level and system within the concept of hierarchical order. Landscape structure analysis is an important method used in ecological planning studies, which analyzes the landscapes in the matrix-patch-corridor model by dividing them into units and provides analytical data with the help of landscape metrics and interprets the landscape structure. In this context, ecological-based planning should be made in cities, corridors are created. Aquatic and Terrestrial ecological corridors are ecosystems that connect two different landscape matrices. They combine with different landscape matrices and patches to form an integrated landscape mosaic. This approach, which also forms the basis of green infrastructure systems, emphasizes centers, connections. The green infrastructure is designed with a systematic approach that ensures the sustainability of ecological networks, protects and improves natural and cultural living environments, within the scope of the landscape system integrity, on a city scale. In this context, Erzurum city green areas, centers and their connections are handled ecologically. In order to protect the existence of urban flora and fauna, to ensure the integrity and to maintain continuity, it is desired to fulfill green infrastructure requirements. Using the Patch Analyst 4.2 software, the interactions, fragmentation states, habitat qualities, sizes, differences of the patches that make up the matrix of the research area were evaluated on the basis of landscape ecology.
