Ecological landscape design is taken as a model as production, its close design is a hardware. Designing a sustainable living space is the main goal of ecological design. Therefore, ecological design should be applied in order to ensure that the design created by human influence can become a whole with the natural area. This study covers the Sarıçay River and its immediate surroundings, which is an important ecological resource for Çanakkale city. With this study, it is aimed to reveal the ecological potential of Sarıçay River and its vicinity, which is an important natural resource for Çanakkale city, and to make it valuable. In this context, Sarıçay River and its immediate surroundings; In terms of ecological principles, it has been examined under the titles of wetlands, hard grounds, vegetative elements, waste bins and land uses. When the study area was examined in line with the ecological landscape design criteria, it was found that it did not meet these criteria. In the area, problems such as the wetlands are neglected and dirty, the hard floors create heat islands by dominating the area, the vegetative designs are quite insufficient and disconnected, the building materials used in the garbage bins are not integrated into the area, and the area uses are concentrated in a single point. The ecological potential of the Seine River, which is similar to the study area, was compared and solutions were proposed for the problems.
