Permaculture Design Potential in Cities: The Case of Burdur Karamanlı

Project Type

Educational

Project Summary

The purpose of this study is to reveal the potential designs that can be made on the permaculture axis in the Karamanlı district, which is predominantly rural; to suggestions on on food production, soil use, water retention, evaluation of animal and domestic waste and efficient energy use. Permaculture, a design science that takes the natural systems as a model, is extremely valuable for the sustainable development of today's cities. In this context, after a comprehensive literature review on permaculture concept, sample cities which have realized permaculture have been examined. In the application part of the study, various analysis studies have been made for the settlement and determinations have been made. As a result of the study, permaculture designs that can be applied in Karamanlı have been put forward in accordance with the current zoning plan decisions. In this context, firstly, in order to ensure the efficient use of resources and to mobilize the local potential; an “eco-campus establishment” with greenhouses, workshops, compost plant and local product market has been proposed. As a further practice, the concept of ‘zone’ ın, which is one of the most important concepts of permaculture, has been adapted to the current zoning plan of the city. According to this, housing areas as 0th zone, social facility gardens and parks as 1th zone, transportation connections as 2th zone, agricultural areas as 3th zone, industrial areas as 4th zone and forest areas as 5th zone has been determined. Preparing compost boxes or stacks in the residential areas, installing solar panels on the roofs, collecting water from the roof and building a rain garden; mulching, composting, food forest and biological ponds in park-gardens; green walking paths, bicycle paths and rain ditches in transport links; direct sowing, wind curtain and use of natural fertilizers in agricultural areas; recycling and rehabilitation in industrial areas; biodiversity conservation in forest areas and similar permaculture applications have been suggested.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
