Özet

Urbanization can make cities vulnerable to disasters, especially in developing countries, where infrastructures and services are poorly developed. Additionally, rapid urbanization has high economic, social, and environmental costs. Some include access to essential services, unsustainable use of natural resources, air and water pollution, and increased greenhouse gas emissions. A city's resilience can be enhanced by employing strategies that will improve the urban environment, such as permaculture. In this study, we developed a measure based on expert opinions to estimate the influence of permaculture areas on urban resilience in Istanbul. Based on the literature, we determined all parameters and indicators of urban resilience and organized them towards three major threats: earthquakes, climate change, and epidemics, based on expert opinions. We then used a questionnaire for permaculture specialists to estimate the relative importance of each parameter by using an AHP procedure. The total number of criteria we decided and weighted has been 26 indicators under seven parameters. In the next phase of the study, we plan to apply the procedure to a real case in Istanbul.
