USING HARMFUL PLANTS IN LANDSCAPE DESIGN

This article explores the risky plants that pose a risk to living health and the environment, and how hazards and risks can be eliminated, limited, or prevented to help human health and the environment. Observations in the parks, gardens, and roadside, and literature review were used to determine potential plant risks to humans and the environment, and the positive/negative effects on the ecosystem. The study provides that aesthetic values are prioritized in a landscape design where local species are dominant in the city of Rome, and exotic species are dominant in the city of Malatya, and they take over various functions, but public health was ignored. To promote sustainable strategies in societal development and biodiversity alongside a growing demand for various fields and to protect human health, their use and management should be carefully regulated and consistently monitored
