Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the risk factors associated with the presence of endemic plants within the Kaz Dağı Milli Parkı. The study considers the impact of various factors, including the park's geographical location and the specific characteristics of the endemic plants themselves, on the risk of these plants becoming extinct. The objective of this study is to present a comprehensive analysis of the subject matter, integrating the findings of previous research with artistic design proposals to offer a novel perspective on the subject. The introductory section of the article begins with an overview of the area, which is commonly referred to as the Kaz Dağları Silsilesi and includes the Kaz Dağı. The area known as the Utlesi region and the characteristics of the Kaz Dağı National Park, which is situated within this region, are briefly outlined. In subsequent sections, the concepts of endemism and endemic plant species will be discussed, with particular focus on the endemic flora of Turkey. This will serve as the primary focus of the study. The aim of this study is to present the characteristics of the endemic plants of Kaz Dağı Milli Parkı, their habitats and the potential risks they may face. In the final section, proposals for designs and patterns based on the aforementioned plants are presented. The subject of this study is a region of great cultural, health, tourism and economic importance to our country. The aim is to gain insight into the various artistic practices associated with the endemic species that occur in this region. This will contribute to the development of different perspectives and awareness on this topic.
