Although community gardening provides numerous environmental, economic, health, and social benefits, public involvement and support are still not at the desired level for their permanency in cities. While there are numerous studies regarding people’s motivations to participate in community gardening, empirical research is very limited for people’s reasons not to participate in community gardening. For increased involvement and public support, knowledge about people’s reasons not to participate in community gardening is important. Using a survey instrument, this research identified people’s primary reasons that negatively influence their participation in community gardening in five disadvantaged neighborhoods of Roanoke, Virginia. Descriptive statistics, T-test, and factor analysis procedures were used at a 95% significance level. Results showed that the statements associated with “theft and damage”, “difficult access”, “too much effort”, and “no personal interest” were the main reasons not to participate in community gardening. Based on these, this research brings design and maintenance recommendations for the increase of more successful community garden projects. In the long term, this can contribute to the long-term survival of these landscapes in cities by providing higher public involvement and support for community garden projects.

ROANOKE, VİRGİNİA'NIN DEZAVANTAJLI MAHALLELERİNDE İNSANLARİN TOPLULUK BAHÇELERİNE (HALK BOSTANLARINA) KATILMAMA NEDENLERİ

Topluluk bahçeciliği diğer adıyla halk bostanları birçok çevresel, ekonomik, sağlık ve sosyal fayda sağlamasına rağmen, bu alanların kentlerde kalıcılığını sağlamak için halkın katılımı ve desteği hala istenen düzeyde değildir. İnsanların topluluk bahçeciliğine katılma motivasyonlarına ilişkin çok sayıda çalışma olmasına rağmen, insanların bu bahçelere katılmama nedenlerini araştıran bilimsel araştırma çok sınırlıdır. Artan bir katılım ve halk desteği sağlamak için, insanların topluluk bahçeciliğine katılmama nedenleri hakkındaki bilgi edinmek önemlidir. Anket çalışması ile yürütülen bu araştırma Roanoke, Virginia'nın beş dezavantajlı mahallesinde insanların topluluk bahçeciliğine katılımlarını olumsuz etkileyen başlıca nedenlerini belirledi. Bu çalışmada betimleyici istatistik , t-testi ve faktör analizi prosedürleri %95 anlamlılık düzeyinde kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, insanların topluluk bahçelerine katılmama nedenleri arasında “hırsızlık ve hasar”, “zor erişim”, “çok fazla çaba” ve “kişisel ilginin olmaması” gibi nedenlerin olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu nedenlere dayanarak, bu araştırma daha başarılı topluluk bahçesi projelerinin arttırılması için tasarım ve bakım önerileri getirmektedir. Bu bilgi ve öneriler daha fazla halk katılımı ve desteği oluşturarak şehirlerdeki bu peyzaj alanlarının uzun vadede var olmasına katkıda bulunabilir.
