INTRODUCTION
Certain urban design theorists identified roads as one of the most important components of ur-ban spaces (Dingcheng, 2006; Dunnett and Hitchmough, 2004; Li et al., 2007). In addition to pro-viding a means for pedestrian and vehicle traffic, roads also function as urban open green spaces. Currently, due to the increasing building mass in urban areas, the areas occupied by open green spaces have shrunk. Thus, thanks to planting in roadside and traffic islands, urban green spaces are connected. One of the most important functions of roadside planting for urban aesthetics is
the connection function (Coffin, 2007; Qiao-ling, 2002; Tarakci Eren and Acar, 2017; Tarakci Eren and Özbilen, 2017).
The main function of wide boulevards and the roads that deter-mine the direction of urban development and define the urban skeleton is to provide comfortable, reliable, and easy utilization by the pedestrians and vehicles. Especially in planned cities, the roads fulfill the task of connecting various urban occupancy forms (Söğüt, 2005; Tarakci Eren et al., 2018). Roadside plants play import-ant roles in achieving certain standards. Trees and other plants on the roads, which are used by the drivers only to pass through, are also effective in locating places due to the perception of their functions and size that underlines and guides the routes. For pe-destrians, the roads also serve as business, shopping, and recre-ational spaces (Jing and Zhicheng, 2009; Qiao-ling, 2002).
The tree-lined urban roads and squares and the other green elements that accompany the former constitute the open and green urban spaces (Tunay et al., 2008; Yılmaz and Aksoy, 2009). The open and green spaces that the working urban people could benefit during the day are limited. On the other hand, streets, boulevards, and traffic islands are the most important open and green spaces that urbanites could use or benefit from in daily life (Küçük and Gül, 2005).
Today, the most important reason for the failure of urban road-side planting is not being familiar with the requirements of
trees as living organisms to fulfill the functions expected from them in spaces where they were planted (Jing and Zhicheng, 2009). To fulfill the expected functions and objectives, plan-ning and design principles for these trees should be observed to minimize the disadvantages in the growth environment. The present study aimed to investigate the planting activities in the Trabzon city on three arteries with the most intense traf-fic based on urban roadside planting and the plant species used in these spaces. Furthermore, the study aimed to de-termine whether there were significant differences between these three routes based on the planting design benefits they offer.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study investigated the main transportation arteries in the urban center of the Trabzon province in Turkey. In this con-text, (1) The Coast Road, (2) Trabzon–Akçaabat Highway, and (3) Yavuz Selim Boulevard were investigated. In the first stage, the study methods included on-site observations, analysis and photographing the plants, and a survey was conducted in the second stage. In the first stage, the identified routes were visit-ed; the plants in traffic islands, intersections, and roadside spac-es were examined; and the plant species were determined. In the second stage, a questionnaire that included 18 statements (Table 1) was developed and applied to 130 occupants in each route. There was a total of 390 occupants.

RESULTS
Analysis of Plant MaterialThe Coast Road is part of the Trabzon coastal development, lo-cated between the Kanuni Park (Turkish–Hungarian Friendship Park) and the Beşirli district in urban center. It is 9 km long with an average width of 250 m, and it runs parallel to the Samsun–Sarp highway. The Trabzon coastal development, which is a reclaimed land to improve the coastal urban occupation, was built in 2007. The road has three lanes in each direction. The northern section of the road is limited by the Black Sea and hik-ing and bike trails and green spaces, and the south is limited by green spaces, residences, and commercial buildings. A total of 109 plant taxa in 76 genera were identified (Figure 1).
The Trabzon–Akçaabat Highway is the oldest street in the city that provides both urban and intercity transportation. Only one section of this road was studied in the present study. This road has also been a reference for the physical development of the Trabzon city. The road connects the urban center of Trabzon and Akçaabat, and the distance between these settlements is 45 km. The line width varies between 4 m and 8 m, and there are two lanes on each direction. The highway runs in the east–west di-rection, and is surrounded by several functional spaces. A total of 83 plant taxa in 64 genera were identified (Figure 2).
The road runs parallel to the Black Sea in southern Trabzon, and it is located between the Beşirli neigborhood Efendi Street and the Değirmendere Liman neighborhood. The road is approxi-mately 7 km long, the lane width varies between 4 m and 6 m, and there are two lanes in each direction. The road is mainly
surrounded by building blocks. Seventy-three plant taxa in 56 genera were determined (Figure 3).
The roads analyzed in the study (Table 2) are important, both for the city of Trabzon, its residents, and intercity passengers. These roads also determine the direction of urban develop-ment and physical growth. Thus, the planting designs in these roads, which constitute the visible urban image, were analyzed

based on aesthetic and functional properties, the utilized plants were identified, and prominent species were deter-mined. Consequently, 118 plant taxa in 81 genera were found in all three areas. Twenty-nine species were in the angiosperm group, and 89 were in the gymnosperm group. Sixty-one taxa were identified in all three areas (prevalent), 25 were identified in two areas (moderate), and 32 were identified in only one area (rare).
Survey FindingsThe required benefits of the planting designs on the three routes for the city and city residents (Table 1) were convert-ed into statements in the questionnaire, 18 questions were posed to the survey participants (N=390), and the degree of their implementation in these areas was investigated. The arithmetic mean, scale mean score, and frequency analyses were conducted on the responses. The aim was to rank the implementation levels of the benefits of planting designs in these routes and to determine which route the occupants were more satisfied with. Eighteen statements about the ben-efits such as providing traffic safety, creating visual values, im-proving the psychology of urban residents, regulating urban climate, reducing environmental pollution, and contributing to urban development were given to the participants using a Likert-type scale. In the survey, a Likert-type scale was used, and the responses were assessed as positive (1, 2), neutral (3, 4), and negative (5).
It was found that the Cronbach Alpha coefficient that deter-mines the scale reliability was 0.906. This value was above the required level of 70% (Table 3).
After the assessments of the participants on each route, the mean item values were calculated, and an analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was applied to determine whether the mean item scores differed based on the route (Table 4).
The ANOVA table demonstrates that “Sig.” >0.01 for the state-ments f1, f2, f6, f7, f15, f17, and f18. In other words, there was no significant difference between the implemented benefits of planting design in the three routes for these statements. Be-cause Sig. ≤,001 for other statements, there was a significant dif-ference between occupant assessments for these three routes. F-values demonstrated that the highest differences were ob-served found in the f14 (F: 79,834) and f12 (F: 52,903) statements. Detailed analysis demonstrated that the statements “separation of pedestrian and vehicle spaces, providing an aesthetic value and safety for pedestrians” received the highest scores. Among the three routes, Trabzon–Akçaabat highway and Yavuz Selim Boulevard received the highest scores when compared to the Coast Road.
CONCLUSION
The most important study finding was the fact that a high num-ber of plant species used in roadside landscape designs is not a condition for correct planting design. Instead, the selection of right plant species at the right location is important. An analy-sis of the plant material around the Coast Road demonstrated that the highest number of plant taxa used in this are; howev-er, when the benefits of the planting design were assessed by the occupants, the Akçaabat–Trabzon highway and Yavuz Selim Boulevard received higher scores. However, the number of plant

taxa in these two routes was lower than the Coast Road.The above-mentioned finding was consistent with similar study findings. It was suggested to utilize the principles of series, rhythm, repetition, continuity, and similarity in plant species use in roadside landscapes. In other words, planting the same plant taxa to ensure continuity or repeating the same species at certain intervals would lead to aesthetically pleasant views and provide urban identity (Altınçekiç and Altınçekiç, 1999; Demir, 2004; Karaşah and Var, 2012; Söğüt, 2005; Van Der Ree et al. 2015).
Another study finding was that the use of a combined design instead of metal separators when separating the two directions on double-lane roads was considered to be aesthetically pleas-ant by the occupants, and they assessed these planting designs more positively. On the Coast Road, one of the three routes covered by the present study, the landscaping was conducted generally on the roadside. It was suggested that this was the reason why it got more negative reviews when compared to the other roads.
Urban roadside landscapes play the role in orientation, empha-sizing certain points, limitation of the driver’s interests, shading the halted traffic, pedestrian safety, preventing vertical and hor-izontal negative views, connecting structures and spaces on the roadside. As a result of the occupant assessments, it was deter-mined that the Trabzon–Akçaabat highway and Yavuz Selim Boulevard were more successful. This finding was probably due to high speed limits on the Coast Road and the lack of intersec-tions or traffic islands.
In a study conducted in 2014, Fathi and Masnavi argued that the visual value of tall plants was higher when compared to groundcovers and bushes. This was similar to our study find-ings. In another study, Sezen (2018) claimed that substantial roadside natural vegetation and its diverse color effects during spring and fall improved the visual quality of the landscape. The study argued that the transition between the colors and color diversity were among the important factors that affected the vi-sual quality of roadside landscape, and they claimed that these effects of colors were possible thanks to the diversity of plant cover and flowering period, seasonal changes such as fruit peri-od if available, the changes in color especially during spring and fall, the presence of water surfaces such as lakes, rivers, streams, brooks, and reservoirs and other natural and cultural elements. The most important finding of that study was the positive im-pact of natural and unchanged quality of the elements that form the roadside landscapes (Sezen, 2018).
In 2017, Yazıcı analyzed the urban roadside landscapes and ex-isting plant designs based on functional and aesthetic aspects in the Tokat province in Turkey and reported that roadside planting applications were elaborate based on plant design principles; however, there were problems in plant selection and planting techniques. The study advocated that plants should be considered as the main roadside elements in urban road plan-ning, the aesthetic and functional properties and ecological

demands of the plants should be considered, and indigenous species should be preferred (Yazıcı, 2017).
Bekçi et al. (2017) investigated the impact of roadside landscapes on urban skyline, and they determined that the plant design cri-terion of the order–sequence was the most preferred planting design criterion in roadside landscapes, and this criterion was generally used in the present roadside landscapes. They claimed that a successful roadside landscape would be achieved with an aesthetic and functional roadside landscape and a sustainable green area texture. In the selection of plant species, they em-phasized that the use of an adequate indigenous plant species would facilitate maintenance and reflect regional values.
Çorbacı and Var (2011) proposed various suggestions to inves-tigate the landscape features of the Bartın–Amasra road based on landscape planning and to solve the existing problems. In their study, the most important landscaping elements were identified as the sea and the rolling terrain. It was suggested to balance the visual complexity level on the roadside. The authors argued that this could be achieved by planting design. The mo-notonous sea landscape should be screened by planting in ad-equate areas, and this part should be exhibited in spaces where the land view is available. Interest should be improved by cre-ating contrasts in color in the environment by planting colorful, blooming trees, shrubs, and bushes with autumn foliage. Thus, it was suggested that indigenous plant species that are suitable for the region should be used, and if they are insufficient, exotic species could be used.
The use of species indigenous to the region was determined as the most important and similar finding among these studies
that examined the roadside landscapes from different perspec-tives, and the plants were used mainly for aesthetic purposes.
