ABSTRACT

This study aimed to evaluate and spatially represent university students’ perception of cultural ecosystem services in the urban public space of Ankara, Turkey in relation to the ‘landsenses ecology’ framework. A questionnaire survey was administered to randomly selected students studying landscape architecture at Ankara University via the Google Forms electronic survey. For mapping, the Urban Atlas Project 2018 data were used to show the connection between CES and the land-use types. A hot-spot map was created for spatial assessment of CES using Kernel density estimation. Within the study area, the students marked 87 favourite places. The city centre (Kızılay) was marked as the most significant place to visit by the students. Yet, the majority (63%) of the participants marked an urban green space as their favourite place. Spending time with family and friends was the most selected activity in the rankings with a mean score of 4.90 (SD = 4.10). The hot-spot map indicated that grey infrastructure areas generate CES values as well. Within the perspective of landsenses ecology – where psychological and cultural perception is emphasized – understanding and identifying these values and their specific localizations can be useful in urban landscape management, especially to encourage young people’s involvement in daily urban space.

摘要

本研究旨在评估并在空间上代表大学生对土耳其安卡拉城市公共空间文化生态系统服务的感知，并与“景观生态”框架相关。通过谷歌表格电子调查对随机选择的在安卡拉大学学习景观设计的学生进行了问卷调查。对于制图，Urban Atlas Project 2018 数据用于显示 CES 与土地利用类型之间的联系。使用核密度估计为 CES 的空间评估创建了一个热点图。在学习区域内，学生们标记了 87 个最喜欢的地方。市中心 (Kızılay) 被标记为学生参观的最重要的地方。然而，大多数 (63%) 的参与者将城市绿地标记为他们最喜欢的地方。与家人和朋友共度时光是排名中选择最多的活动，平均得分为 4.90（SD = 4.10）。热点图表明灰色基础设施区域也产生 CES 值。在景观生态学的角度——强调心理和文化感知——理解和识别这些价值及其具体定位在城市景观管理中是有用的，特别是鼓励年轻人参与日常城市空间。
