Özet
In landscape implementations, the required water volume for the plant should be provided through an appropriate system and irrigation program. The use of inappropriate irrigation systems can result in the wasteful consumption of water resources that are already in limited supply. It is therefore crucial that irrigation systems are designed by experts following the relevant standards. The objective of irrigation system designers in urban areas is to guarantee the year-round health of landscapes. Accordingly, designers and users need to pay more attention to water management. The goal of water management is to keep landscapes healthy throughout the year while minimizing the amount of water and energy used for irrigation on an annual basis. This study aims to investigate landscape irrigation systems, which are critical to the sustainable use of green spaces in urban areas, at the scale of neighborhood parks. The study area was selected as Prof. Dr. Erol Güngör Park with an area of about 9000 m<sup>2</sup> in Konya, Türkiye. The research involved observing the irrigation systems used in the park, studying their technical specifications in detail, and analyzing data such as the amount of water used and the frequency of irrigation. It is found that over-irrigation in the park results in the annual waste of 8.963 m<sup>3</sup> of water, which corresponds to an approximate cost of 6.665 US dollars per year. The results of the study show that significant water savings can be achieved through the design of automatic irrigation systems and the conscious preparation of irrigation schedules.
