Özet

Although native plants in coastal dunes are very important in terms of their ecological, aesthetic and functional properties, they are not used in landscape architecture practices. The purpose of this research was to provide guidance by determining the usage potential of dune plants in sustainable landscape architecture practices and to contribute to the protection and development of various landscapes. In this research, the content analysis method was used. According to this method all research materials that are scientifically accessible and available were examined systematically, and detailed inferences were made that aligned with the research purpose, and tables were created. After this stage, the relationship of the plants with their usage areas was established, and the usage possibilities in landscape architecture practices were determined by species. According to some results obtained from the research, dune plants have the opportunity to be used in natural and cultural landscapes for ecological, aesthetic, functional, and economic reasons, especially in landscapes with extreme conditions. These defined areas were the coastal areas (creek/seashores. dunes, beaches), landscape restoration work areas (nature repair, quarries, highways/railways, dune stabilization, erosion control). problem areas (cliffs, steep slopes, soil deficient areas, floodplains), and arid landscapes (arid areas, rock/stone gardens, flower beds).
