Mount Dejian, Kenting, Pintung County, South Coast of Taiwan

Mount Dejian, Kenting, Pingtung county, South coast of Taiwan. Mount Dejian (or Dajian) is located in Kenting National Park on the Hengchun peninsula in Pingtung County at the southern tip of Taiwan (Formosa). It is the most widely-recognised landmark in Kenting National Park and its peak is at 318 m above sea level. This photograph was taken on 19 November 2006 from Erluanbi (Eluan Pi) which is the South Cape of Taiwan. Looking North, Mount Dejian looks like an imposingly sharp peak. In the foreground (right), Chuanfanshih ("sail rock") appears very small although it is 18 m high. The rock is composed by coral reefs that are harder than the nearby reefs tableland

The problems encountered in the irrigation of landscape of fethiye city center and alternative solution proposals

Bu araştırmada Fethiye ilçe merkezindeki peyzaj alanlarının sulanmasında karşılaşılan sorunlar ve alternatif çözüm önerileri belirlenmiştir. Araştırma ilçe merkezindeki dört büyük parkta yürütülmüştür. Dört parktan 0-30, 30-60 ve 60-90 cm derinliklerden alınan toprak örnekleri ile dört ay boyunca aylık olarak alınan su örneklerinin bazı fiziksel ve kimyasal analizleri yapılmış ve sonuçlar değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; araştırma alanı topraklarının kumlu-tın ve kumlu-killi-tın özellikte oldukları görülmüştür. Toprakların pH değerlerinin 7,30 - 7,91, EC değerlerinin 0,85 ' 1,91 dS/m, tarla kapasitesi % 9,07 - 39,52, solma noktası % 5,28 - 25,60, hacim ağırlıkları 1,23 - 1,81 gr/cm3 arasında değişmektedir. Sulamada kullanılan sularda pH 7,5 - 8,1, EC 0,593 ' 2,929 dS/m arasında değiştiği saptanmıştır. Su örnekleri, ABD Tuzluluk Laboratuvarı Sınıflandırma sistemine göre değerlendirildiğinde Atatürk parkında C2S1, Uğur Mumcu parkında C3S1, Alparslan Türkeş parkında C3S1 ve Haluk Özsoy parkında da C3S1 sulama suyu sınıfında olduğu ve yüksek tuzlu sular kategorisinde yer aldıkları belirlenmiştir. Araştırma alanında kullanılan suların kalite açısından düşük olduğu, bununla birlikte toprakların uygun özelliklere sahip olmasının önemli bir problemle karşılaşılmamasında etken olduğu düşünülmektedir. Araştırmada, Haluk Özsoy parkında infiltrasyon testi ve buna paralel olarak örnek bir yağmurlama sulama projesi tasarlanmış ve mevcut kurulu sistemle karşılaştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar, kurulu sulama sisteminde homojen bir su uygulamasının olmadığını, yağmurlama sulamada homojenitenin sağlanmasında önemli bir parametre olan başlık debisi ve tertip aralığını belirlemek için infiltrasyon hızının ölçülmesi gerekliliğini ortaya koymuştur.Thıs research aıms to determine the problems encountered and proposed alternative solutions for the irrigation of the landscape of Fethiye city center. The research took place in four large parks of Fethiye city center. Soil samples were taken from these four parks from 0 ' 30 cm, 30 - 60 cm and 60 ' 90 cm depth, as well as water samples once every month during four months. Some physical and chemical analyses were made of all these soil and water samples and the results were evaluated. According to the results of the research, it has been seen that the characteristics of the soil of the researched area is sandy-loamy and sandy-clayey-loamy. The pH values of the soil vary between 7,30 ' 7,91; EC values between 0,85 ' 1,91 dS/m; the field capacity between 9,07 ' 39,52 % ; wilting point values between 5,28 ' 25,60 % ; bulk density values between 1,23 ' 1,81 gr/cm3. It has been determined that the pH values of the water used in irrigation vary between 7,5 ' 8,1 and EC values of the water vary between 0,593 ' 2,929 dS/m. When the water samples are evaluated according to US Salinity Laboratory Classification, it has been determined that these four parks are in the category of High Salinity Water and Atatürk Park is in C2S1, Uğur Mumcu Park is in C3S1, Alpaslan Türkeş Park is in C3S1 and Haluk Özsoy Park is in C3S1 Irrigation Water Classification. It is thought that the water used in irrigation where the research was done is of low quality; but, on the other hand, because the soil has proper characteristics, no major problem was encountered. In this research, in Haluk Özsoy Park, an infiltration test has been proposed to be taken and at the same time an irrigation system by sprinkling water has to be designed. This proposed irrigation system together with infiltration test has been compared with the existing irrigation system. The results of the research have shown that there is no homogenous irrigation implementation in the exisiting irrigation system and it is necessary to measure the velocity of infiltration in order to determine the hood flow rate and the distance between hoods. These measurements are very important parameters to obtain the homogenity in irrigation by sprinkling water

Determination of the physical characteristics of the trekking tracks in Hatila National Park through GIS

Today's living conditions restrict the time people can spend in the nature. Studies conducted in the recent years exhibit that people's longing for the nature increases more and more. Trekking is an activity that can be performed by almost everyone and it is among the sports activities people can perform in order to satisfy their longing for the nature. This study was conducted for the purpose of evaluating the quality of 45 in-forest tracks of the mainly mountainous Hatila National Park located in the city of Artvin in terms of being regarded as trekking tracks. The area is an important recreational spot where the characteristics of natural landscape meet cultural landscape, and is under protection owing to the flora and wild life it embodies. Within the scope of the study, the physical characteristics of the trekking tracks including the slope, walking distance, walking time, aspect and elevation were determined through the use of geographic information system (GIS). From the findings obtained in the study, it was determined that the examined 45 tracks varied largely in terms of length (min 1612 m, max 33735 m), and that also track walking distances and the elevation differences between track starts and track ends vary (min 157 m, max 2189 m) according to the track length. It was also determined that variability in terms of slope levels also exists (minimum average gradient being 16.07% and the maximum average gradient being 27.90%) due to the topographical characteristics of the area, and that once again due to the topography, four different aspects are predominant in the area
