Sustainable Urbanization on The Case of Amasya

3.3.3. Examination of the Post-1990 Development Area
The urban green spaces of three neighborhoods in the post-1990

Şeyhcui Neighborhood there is a 0.85 ha children’s playground; while there
are 0.78 ha children’s playgrounds and 20 ha passive green areas in the
Region VIII. In the Region IX representing the Akbilek Neighborhood there
are 1.73 ha children’s playgrounds and 0.24 ha parks while in the Region X

3.4 Evaluation of the Findings
The green areas examined within the scope of the study are located in
small pieces separately in the form of spots. Although urban sustainable green
spaces should be located in an integrated way in the form of green bands, it
is observed that the green areas in the city center of Amasya are located in a
scattered and unplanned way.
According to the data obtained from the analyses; as a result of
neighborhood-based surveys, the green spaces in Amasya can be classified
into two categories as active and passive green areas. According to the results;
it was found that there are 1.79 ha of active and 8.4 ha of passive green areas
in Hızırpaşa Neighborhood;
