Özet Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the Selcuk University Campus (Konya-Turkey) in terms of ecological design. With this aim, it will be evaluated whether natural environment in the most harmonious and most productive way for the users of the campus. Methodology: In the research, Selcuk University Alaaddin Keykubat Campus was examined in terms of ecological landscape design. In this context, water-efficient landscaping, design with topography, energy efficient landscape design (energy-efficient landscaping, transportation system etc.), sustainable farming practices, permaculture, the existence of green roof and green wall applications, supporting biodiversity, selection of hard landscaping materials, presence of alternative green areas (green roof, green walls, etc.), and presence of recycling applications were questioned. Results: Although an ecological appropriate designs were made on Selcuk University Campus. There was not a design approach related to holistic plan. In campus, there were some issues that must be developed in terms of ecological landscape design and planning on some topics such as; energy conservation, waste management, sustainable landscape materials, water management, wildlife/habitat conservation, pest management, landscape maintenace and trasportation and parking. Increase in compost use and diversifying compost materials, creating permeable surfaces rather than materials such as asphalt, concrete etc., that doest not allow rain water to get through, by this way canalizing rain water directly into the soil and reducing surface runoff are few solutions for ecological landscape design and planning. Interpretation: Achieving campus sustainability and sustainable landscape design more effectively is not possible without the cooperation and involvement of all stakeholders such as students, faculty and staff, university management, funding agencies, and community.
