In this study, factors that
cause drainage problems in Mustafa Uysal Park have been searched in the scope
of landscape design and landscape engineering. In order to propose regulations,
evaluations and observations were conducted to protect natural topography and
natural drainage lines and these data have been digitized. Digital elevation
model (DEM) has been created by ArcGIS 10.1 software 3DAnalyst extension and
Rainwater flow directions and water collection area maps are formed by ArcHydro
extension which was used to create Rainwater flow directions and water
collection area maps. Water accumulation analyses was carried out by performed
field observations and were compared with data formed by used to create water
accumulation analysis map and compared with water collection area maps created
with ArcHydro extension. According to the results of analysis, drainage systems
have been determined to be insufficient in study areas. Results indicated that
surface waters are generally accumulate in land-uses such as pedestrian ways
and playgrounds due to deficiencies in landscape design. Surface water flowing
quantities have been calculated with Rational Method, to avoid structures and
entries from water mass, deep drainage and concrete or grass-covered parabola
surface drainage systems were suggested. The proposed drainage systems and
design features of the parks were discussed and several recommendations were
made for future studies.
