Evaluation of monument trees of Antalya in terms of space and meaning

Abstract

In this article, some information was given about monumental trees detected in Antalya so far and 12 of them were introduced. When we look at the findings, the physical characteristics such as height, age, location and meaning of monumental trees consisting of Taurus cedar (Cedrus libani A. Rich), tall juniper (Juniperus excelsa Bieb.), Eastern plane (Platanus orientalis L.) and Anatolian chestnut (Castanea sativa) were evaluated. Suggestions were made for the students to contribute to the increase of nature and tree sensitivity of monumental trees by creating educational trips and suitable spaces.
