Archaeology and nature: hyblean cultural landscape and territorial ...

Allotment garden: is designed for the purpose of providing job opportunities and also as a source of income
for the residents. Due to land limitations, it is estimated that 35 persons will be employed in the community.
Allotments farms evolve among the residential blocks (Fig.15). The remaining agricultural lands located in
between residential complexes would be allotted to the residents. Allotment farm land is a manifestation of
private garden in the public area. This will incorporate resident’s individual characteristics so that residence
will become designers of their own green spaces. Thus Landscape features are constantly changing while
different owners will change field structure each year (Fig.18).
Neighbourhood farm: includes child play ground, places where residence spends their leisure time, sport
fields and green productive fields. 2/5 hectares is devoted to play grounds and sport field, with the intention
of employing 20 people, agricultural lands with the area of 1 hectare is provided (Fig.16). Hence,
neighbouring farm is a public garden for everyone, where agricultural landscape and recreational spaces are
integrated (Fig.19).
Farm-institution: includes educational, religious and health care centers in the selected site. These
institutions have the ability to interact effectively with the productive landscape. Agricultural education could
be considered as part of school’s curriculum. As a result adjacent agricultural parcels become part of school
yards where teachers and farmers guide students to cultivate crops, in action. Similarly religious institution,
perform training courses to educate volunteers urbanites. Such approach is the agricultural landscape’s
management through public and private sectors’ participations, while it increases sense of responsibility
toward surrounding green space (Fig.17).
