Abstract :In this study, the adequacy and accessibility of active green areas in Adana Province Cukurova district were tried to be determined by using field study, GIS, and numerical data. For this purpose, active green areas in 10 urban neighborhoods of the Cukurova district were determined. These areas are neighborhood parks, playgrounds, and neighborhood parks. By comparing the neighborhood areas where these active green areas are located, population data, and the area of active green areas, their suitability, and adequacy with green space standards were determined. Only 1 neighborhood in the study area complies with the total green space standards. 9 neighborhoods are not sufficient in terms of active green areas. The fact that the per capita values of active green spaces are far below the 10 m² / person norm recommended by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization in urban scale, clearly shows the effectiveness of the Development Plans on active green areas. It has been observed that accessibility to active green areas is not sufficient in the Cukurova district. This shows that the green areas in the district are not distributed regularly.
