Popis: Today, as a result of the decrease in water, water efficiency in the field is becoming an increasing problem. Although awareness of water use has increased in the last decade, irrigation of green spaces still accounts for a large percentage of water consumption. For this reason, reducing water use on land is a vital step in protecting water resources. Landscape approaches such as "Xeriscape", which use water efficiently, are now needed by abandoning the classical landscape approach that requires intense irrigation. Xeriscape design is an approach that aims to provide many ecological, economic and aesthetic benefits by creating creative landscapes that use water and energy effectively. In this study, Serdengeçti Park which is located in an area heavily used by the city people in Muratpaşa district of Antalya province, has been redesigned with xeriscape approach that creates water efficient landscapes and a center of attraction.
