Odayeri Ecopark Project

Odayeri, which is affiliated with Eyüpsultan Municipality, is a village within the borders of Istanbul, bordering the northern forests that still maintain its rural character. Upon the request of the Municipality, an Ecopark was designed to have different economic and ecological outcomes.

The goal of the project:

To revitalize the soil in the village's old pasture area, which has lost its productivity.
Increasing biodiversity through permaculture practices.
Creating controlled pastures and wetlands for animals.
To facilitate access to clean food for both villagers and those coming from outside the village, with community gardens, market areas and ecocafes where permaculture practices will be practiced.
To assist development by supporting villagers in the production of value-added, healthy products.
To raise awareness of city people on natural life, climate change, permaculture and clean food.

Land Survey and Analyzes:

The land was observed on site in an area of 50 decares, the soil structure was examined and the necessary laboratory tests were performed.
By examining the vegetation, information about local species was collected.
By using drone flight and technological infrastructure, a 3D model of the land was obtained and analyzes were made through programs.

(For more detailed information about the technological infrastructure and approach we use when designing healthy living spaces , see SYA Road Map

Project Location

Close to Istanbul Airport, within the borders of Odayeri Village

The project area

Work will be carried out on approximately 12 decares of land

Working area

Study area from the southwest

Data collecting

In order to identify the soil structure, inspection pits were opened at 5 points in the field and soil samples were taken.

3D Model

Photos taken during drone flights over land are converted into 3D models in 'Context Capture' software. Various examinations and measurements can be made on this model.

Slice Analyzes

With slice analysis, which is a part of permaculture design, the potential of the land, threats and opportunities are investigated. Possibilities of benefiting from solar energy with the sun zone on the south-facing land are examined.

Slice Analyzes

Winter and summer winds coming to the land are investigated and a benefit/harm analysis is made.

District Design

In 'zone design', one of the permaculture design stages, operations are planned in different parts of the land.

Topographic Map

In the resulting 3D model, objects on the ground (trees, buildings, etc.) are cleaned and contours / contours of the soil level - topographic map are produced. Preliminary project work will be carried out on this map.

Permaculture Design Site Plan

With permaculture design, the locations and functioning of all components that will be located on the land are shown.

Earthworks

SiteOPS software is used for field earthworks.

Earthworks

In earthworks to be carried out on the field, excavation and filling areas and work volume can be calculated.

View of the Ecopark

Once the land earthworks are shaped, 3D modeling, planting and visualization of the entire project can be carried out.

Approach to the Project:

The areas were determined in line with the land survey, needs program and analysis results.

As a basic approach, it is divided into two different parts.

In the designed area, Zones 0, 1 and 2 , which are the upper side of the main road axis, include social areas, education and workshop areas and community gardens. Zones 3 and 4 , located at the bottom of the road, include practices to revitalize the soil such as pastures, water ponds, and food forests.

In District 5 , the natural forest texture was preserved and suggested as areas where visitors could observe the forest layers formed in the natural process.

District Settlement

Concept Layout Plan

Preliminary Project (November-December 2020):

After the permaculture design was completed, a preliminary project study was carried out. In the preliminary project, the design and positioning of ecological structures, access lines, and detailed designs of the gardens were carried out.

Earthworks, December 2020

After the acceptance of the preliminary project, while the detail and application projects of the superstructure and infrastructure were being prepared, soil studies were carried out in the natural pasture area in the south.

Ecopark Layout Plan

Ecopark Center: Ecological structures, access roads, gardens

Ecopark 3-D Model

The components of the designed project (structure, road, terrace, pond, planting) are added to the existing landscape.

Ecopark Buildings

Central area where ecocafé, activity center and marketplace structures are located

View from the South

Central view from the pasture and food forest area in the south of the ecopark

Ecocafe & Square

Guests will enjoy nature and natural food in the square in front of the ecocafe, which has a gourmet menu of seasonal natural products.

From the Ecopark Entrance to the Square

Visitors reach the ecopark center immediately from the ecopark entrance.

ecocafe

It was designed with passive solar principles and natural building materials.

Square

There is an ecocafe on the left of the square and a marketplace area on the right.

Ecostructures with passive solar design

By using solar energy effectively, we significantly reduce heating and cooling costs.

On December 21:

In winter, the south is horizontal and lots of rays enter through the glass in the south of the ecocafe, warming the soil wall in front, and the interior of the building is also heated with this heat mass.

On June 21:

In summer the sun is high. Shading by deciduous trees is used in the south to prevent direct sunlight from entering the building. Roof slopes are also adjusted to prevent sunlight from entering.

Observation terrace

An observation terrace overlooking the pasture to the south of the ecopark center was considered.

Pasture & Food Forest

The sloping land in the south was designed as a natural habitat for buffalos, cows, chickens and ducks.

Activity Center & Community Garden

Training and workshops to provide knowledge, skills and experience will be organized at the activity center. Various gardening activities will be carried out in the community garden right next to it.

gardens

There will be various garden examples within the ecopark: deep/high plant beds, medicinal plants, endemic plants...

Greenhouse

The community garden also includes a geodesic greenhouse

Hügelculture Garden

We also have a fertile natural garden application area in the soil on wood logs stacked in the soil.

Food Forest on Terraces

The terraces that divide the pasture into parcels serve as travel and access paths, retain rainwater and create a food forest containing various forests, nuts, fruit trees, shrubs and medicinal plants.

Strolling the Terraces

Visitors will observe nature and its abundance while wandering around the ecopark.
