摘要：Today, it has become necessary to increase urban green areas in order to ensure sustainability and adaptation to climate change in urban areas with high building density. Planting roof surfaces is a sustainable approach to increase green areas and maintain ecosystem continuity in urban areas. Urban transformation can provide an opportunity for Vegetated Roof System (VRS) to become widespread in areas where Istanbul has a densely populated and dense building settlement. It is aimed to increase the “construction area / green area” ratio in order to ensure sustainability and adaptation to climate change in urban areas with high building density. For this reason, it is aimed to draw attention to the benefit of VRS in roofs that occupy a significant place on the urban surface. In the research, first, a literature review was conducted on the concepts mentioned in the research. And then, a case study was carried out. Within the scope of case study, 110 sample projects from Vegetated Roof System projects implemented in Istanbul were examined. Of these projects, those built within the scope of urban transformation were filtered. Evaluations were made for the projects obtained as a result of filtering. In the final stage of the research, in-depth interviews were made with stakeholders who were influential in the design and production processes of the 110 VRS applied projects, which were accepted as data in the case study. As a result of the case study, it turns out that VRS has become a marketing tool in luxury projects built with urban transformation in industrial areas that have lost their function. In the in-depth interviews, business developers confirmed this conclusion. Business developers interviewed in-depth explained the reason for applying VRS in buildings in the case-study as the increase in building value due to the positive visual impact and social space opportunities provided by VRSs.
