Yalova, Nakitcik Village, Tunç Family Permaculture Design and Application Project
Yalova, Nakitcik Village
The project area is in Nakitcik village of Yalova and approximately 40 km from Yalova center. It is 22 km away from the Altınova district to which it is connected.
• The project area is 19 acres.
• Cherry and walnut trees dominate the land, and there are also some apple trees.
• Fruits are grown in neighboring lands around the project area.
• The project area is close to the village.
• There is an irrigation pond built by the state right next to the project area.
What the family wants from us:
• Living space for family - Home
• A separate kitchen (internal greenhouse: for harvesting crops in winter)
• Coop
• Greenhouse for seedling work
• Production kitchen
• Oven
• Pond
• Food forest (there are already more than 200 fruit trees)
• Beehives
• Warehouse in kitchen area
• Warehouse, Workshop

Vegetation on the Land
Most of the land is planted with cherry and walnut tree saplings, and there are also a small amount of apple trees.
Positions of plants on the land are determined from drone photos

Soil Analysis
Soil samples collected from depths between 0-30 and 30-60 cm from the 2 regions of the field shown in the image below were collected in a single bag and sent for analysis.
IHA Photos
A UAV flight was carried out over the area to create a 3D model of the land. During this flight, photographs of the terrain were taken from different angles and a video of the flight was recorded. Examples of photographs obtained from UAV
3D Model
A 3D digital model of the land was obtained using approximately 300 photographs collected as a result of UAV flights. This model is a record of the data of the land surface at that date and allows the designer to make various examinations and measurements such as distance and surface area without having to go to the field in the later stages. The land before the project is recorded, and the transformation of the land can be visualized with 3D models that can be produced during the settlement installation and after the settlement is implemented. These models can also be shared over the internet.
.
Distance, area and volume measurements can be made on this 3D digital model. It is important that we can make measurements in the field during the design stages.
Climate Data
It is under the influence of the humid and temperate climate seen on the Black Sea coast.
Summers are warm and winters are cool. Snow stays on the ground for a maximum of 10 days.
There is a danger of landslides in mountainous areas due to excessive rainfall.

Planned Road and Access Lines
Earthworks, Access and Terraces :
Flat areas will be created with soil excavation and filling works while creating daily activities, ecotourism, family living areas and ponds. Terraces, shown in brown below, will be created, most of which are parallel to the land surface contours. The distances between terraces are kept between 16 and 20 meters on average. This distance is suitable for plant care.
Functions of terraces:
• Access lines – will be 2-3 m wide for the tractor to pass. It is necessary for navigation, plant care, and harvesting.
• Obstacle to rainwater flowing down the sloping land - water flow will stop on the terraces as they are built perpendicular to the slope. Rainwater accumulated in the hollow part of the terrace is transferred to the lower terraces and from there to the ponds.
• Food forest planting and planting lines
planting
Existing trees within the land were first placed into the model. Then, the plant species planned to be planted were placed. With all trees:
New Trees to be Planted
Buildings
In order to guide the preliminary project work, a preliminary concept design of the requested areas was carried out and it was seen how much area/volume it would take when placed on the land and how it could be located. However, the actual concept design of the buildings is carried out in the 'Preliminary Project' study according to the comments from the employer. Buildings should be oriented towards the south in order to benefit maximum from passive solar principles, that is, insolation. However, due to the conditions imposed by the slope and landscape of this land, the building is facing southeast. In ecological building design (in the northern hemisphere), south and east are the directions we want to benefit from, and north and west are the directions we avoid. Due to heavy rainfall in the region, it is recommended to use sloping roofs.
